Happy werewolf Wednesday, freaks

Earth, 2026 Topps style, based on recent Artemis II images #EarthDay

Double-page spreads from Jack Kirby’s last year or so at DC Comics in 1975. Because, despite the opinions of some in fandom at the time, Kirby really was still creating fascinating stories.

They think you're stupid.

One of the best preserved reliefs in the site features a lion, and what could be a star map. The stars around the lion could be Leo, there is the Moon on his breast. Three bigger stars could be the planets Mars, Mercury, and Jupiter. Some scholars believe that it shows an specific date.

i love living in the first village of an rpg man. friendly neighbors, music is chill af, we even got that one kid we adopted into the village of whom the ancient prophecy was written about. anyway there’s a big ceremony tomorrow can't wait to still be alive after it

I despise with the heat of a thousand suns the way I have to be suspicious of all art I see now while I investigate it's authenticity, because this couldn't be more diametrically opposed to the state of mind one should be in while taking in all art.

every conservative political complaint comes back to "those people shouldn't count because they disagree with me"

"Because it is my name! Because I cannot have another in my life! Because I lie and sign myself to lies! Because I am not worth the dust on the feet of them that hang! How may I live without my name? I have given you my soul; leave me my name!" - Arthur Miller, The Crucible

She is... inevitable

jokes aside, learning recently about Paul Gilroy's "Black Atlantic" and the wider field of "Atlantic history" has got me thinking about alternate ways that we can think about what binds communities together. Mediterranean France might have more in common with Sicily than Paris.

Hot take: political/cultural borders are fake and replaced by the only logical system, hydrological drainage basins

I don't have any footage but here's some photos

Drove a couple of hours to see a space telescope—this is the Nancy Grace Roman space telescope launching no earlier than September

this discourse is insane. "their hits are more popular than the rest of their songs" is not a take, it's a dictionary definition

The Comics Journal has an interview with Linnea Sterte by Gina Gagliano that delves deeper into Sterte's inspirations and process.

Occasionally need to repost this Astro Boy panel where Dr. Ochanomizu's butt looks like the Bernie Sanders logo.

Even when (TRISTRAM SHANDY REFERENCE) there is a marbled page, the marbling, if you look close, is made out of text, and every word belongs to a character

And sometimes they *fight*

OK BUT THEN ALSO the characters can do magic, and that also happens in fonts. Basic magic is large size AM Panama, like so

ok so I want to do two threads about @blipstress.bsky.social PLASTIC PRISM VOID and this is the first and it is about BOOK DESIGN so if you are a NERD then buckle up. My basic positon, as the dummy who got roped into typesetting this book, is it is an amazingly rare thing: something actually new.

Like, Derek Ballard is just operating an a whole other level. This shit is sublime

Really dug the latest video essay on music videos (specifically the music videos - to - filmmaking pipeline) by @patrickhwillems.bsky.social. Insightful, surprising, and often hilarious. Check it out - youtu.be/pQB2mvUvROw?...

During the peak of COVID, a number of parents learned or re-learned that teaching is difficult. But this has had no lasting impact. Hasn't translated to calls to increase teacher pay, for example.

Absolutely incredible. NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone. Watch with sound on.

It's such a missed opportunity for this administration to have cut the public library budget in the preliminary budget rather than to have come right out of the gate making a significant commitment to libraries and using the library as a way to discuss public goods in the city.

what more can be said

attention: new but also medieval queer opera in new york next weekend www.alkemie.org/eleanor

Presidential bar mitzvah

Because @theotherjude.bsky.social is teaching a class on it in June thebrooklyninstitute.com/items/course...

now live! a new short, experimental dark fantasy comic about a strange new plague that happened during the Middle Ages skullingway.itch.io/pocket-full-...

i like the things not carved out

Okay so you might see this video with the audio muted. Now imagine how the music must sound like. I urge you to unmute and listen to what it's actually like because I guarantee you you're not prepared for it.

I was just wondering if anybody had written about “decolonizing space,” and behold

Is there any footage of the miniatures team from Power Rangers doing all the Dinozord effects shots? I would watch hours of that

I did it! I submitted my work for the Ignatz Awards! Now to have a cup of tea and shove my imposter syndrome into a cupboard so I can carry on working on new comics! 😅 @smallpressexpo.bsky.social 💗

Voyager 1! We’re still getting science from a probe launched in 1977 but your ten-year-old Kindle can’t download books anymore.

CHARLIE BROWN: Yes mistress, you're right, mistress, I'm a blockhead! a hopeless blockhead! DOMINATRIX: wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah

Absolutely brutal shots fired by Socrates, Plato, and Anne Carson

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way

Instant non-denial hall of fame www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

This is incredible. Like being in the room.

Just in case you don’t believe me. This is a thing I’m always upset about when it comes to public scholarship, which is a topic I care so deeply about. www.patreon.com/posts/900009...

dang, this poster for my film slaps
