No worries about motion smoothing at the Polo homestead, but only because my father hasn't bought a new television since George Bush was president.

I applaud the true absurdist who asked themselves "Is the Grinch nude?" and answered "NO, but he wears pants that make him APPEAR nude." [Seasonal replatforming of a classic Susana Tweet]

New from me! I chatted with writer @adamhrose.bsky.social e on he and @magentaking.bsky.social's trippy series Huge Detective for PW: www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/... Imagine True Detective, but one of the buddy cops is the size of a skyscraper and knows the taste of human flesh.

My hobby is digging into the profile settings of streaming services to inspect their collection of licensed characters and likenesses you can set your pic to and I've discovered a new mystery that will haunt me forever

Please buy this beautiful book for your coffee table and support one of my union colleagues. Makes an excellent holiday gift.

Its been four years since I read this Thunderbolts King in Black tie-in and I can still be brought to tears by remembering this exchange

Bless me father, for I have sinned, it took me over two months to finally read Fraction's Batman #1 and have a LOUD chuckle over this panel

You only have one week left to, for a modest fee, directly support some great comics criticism in a PHYSICAL FORMAT with an exclusive article from ME on how not to draw BATMAN on a 15-foot HORSE www.kickstarter.com/projects/tif...

It says an uncomfortable number of things about me and my current mental state that a friend mentioned their 5 year old nephew asked to be Rumi for Halloween And I said "THE 13th CENTURY PERSIAN POET?" And she said "The K-pop Demon Hunters character."

have you ever created a video game mod to make characters "look better" (whatever that means to you)? i want to talk to you for an article i'm writing! get at me via maddymyerswrites at gmail dot com. or repost this if it's not you and you just wanna help me spread the word. thanks <3

Only 15 days to grab a like for real newspaper with my (and many other rad people's) writing in it!

You think you're totally jaded about the big convention experience and then Lenore Zann personally notices and complements your Jubilee earrings

Reshare: "Once upon a time, I was prepping for a night of adventure as leader of an infamous mercenary group in the world of Dragon Age and confronted a hard fact: I just didn't have the space to keep the Dragon Age RPG sourcebook on hand." www.rascal.news/my-must-have...

I made a huge, involuntary gasp

NYCC folks: I'm not at the Javits today (but ask me about why) but I'll be wandering around aimlessly all tomorrow between the end of the Woman of Marvel panel (I'm moderating!) and 6pm. HMU if you want to chat or get a coffee!

Are you a fan of my writing on comics? Are you a fan of my writing on HORSES? Did you know you could read me write about BOTH in the new issue of the Comics Courier that is being Kickstarted RIGHT NOW??? www.kickstarter.com/projects/tif...

Oh, hey! New York Comic Con is in a week, so here's some news: I was invited to moderate Marvel's Women of Marvel panel at NYCC! www.newyorkcomiccon.com/en-us/things... It's got a very cool lineup of folks from around the entertainment industry, so you should come on by!

Forgot I had another Publisher's Weekly piece up this week! I chatted with @robertkirkman.bsky.social about Transformers #25 and @skybound.bsky.social's Energon line (and then had the challenge of staying within word count) www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

I'm being so genuine right now but there's one thing that makes me tumblr level yaoi deranged and it's whatever Catman and Deadshot have going on whenever they're both in the Secret Six. For a moment there I thought we'd a new development there but then Secret Six (2025) did not get renewed

Hobbits LOVE birthdays

Just dropped these three cross stitch projects in the mail to be sold at the Craft Fair! 🤞hopefully they get there in time 🤞

I chatted with editor Chris Conroy about DC's first three Absolute trades for Publisher's Weekly! My favorite thing Conroy said? He thinks superhero comics art is at a "generational" turning point — and Absolute was DC's attempt to get ahead of the wave. www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

If you were upset about what Vox did to Polygon, you should be extra upset about Eater!!! They couldn't even use the money they made off our asses to keep these wonderful, talented journalists on staff. Please donate if you can!!!

Something very very weird happened during the Hugos award ceremony... It's been on my mind for days, and so I wrote this blog: "When People Giggle at Your Name, or the 2025 Hugo Awards Incident" grigorylukin.com/2025/08/21/w... #Worldcon

Me, dropping "kirby" into the search box of Polygon CMS' media library to get a quick header image for a comics post

Happy tenth (TENTH) anniversary to maybe my first favorite post I did for Polygon — Ryan North Holestuckgate 2k15. I'd like to thank @ryannorth.ca, the Nicer Era of Twitter, and especially the late Chompsky the dog. www.polygon.com/2015/8/18/91...

Been working on a new feature pitch

Mowed through my backlog on the plane to WorldCon and finally caught up on New Gods. What a superlative damn book.

It goes without saying given the team (@gregrucka.com, @nicolascottart.bsky.social) that Cheetah and Cheshire Rob the Justice League #1 is a delight but It's A Delight

We'll never ever get it because the numbers just don't add up but the Ainulindalë is screaming to be no words only music animated short. There's so much more value waiting in the space of adaptation if we could just divorce ourselves from live action/long form cinema as the be all end all.

go play games with friends!

I am about to be earnest on main. Sorry? Probably not sorry. Ten years ago, summer 2015, I got a DM from some folks I knew from Twitter and the blog world asking if I'd be interested in joining them to round out the party for a TTRPG. A Dragon Age TTRPG. (1/7)

I would love to know why the only photographic memories that Microsoft One jump scares with me are screenshots of Dragon Age: Origins. Genuinely, I would like to know what strange confluence of Windows systems, EA Origin and DragonAgeOrigins.exe causes that

This was @susanapolo.bsky.social’s idea #clairobscur

it's important to me that Kirby could draw like this, but his passion was weirdos like Ben Grimm and OMAC

Today I'm finally starting to catch up on the comics that came out since I got laid off and I'd like to personally thank every creative team whose release date slipped over the past three months you're saving my life

I had a lovely time writing about my handmade RPG aid projects for Rascal News! AKA: I got really into Japanese stationery during the pandemic and now I fold-out stunt tables and a spell slot tracker I throw in the freezer to reset. www.rascal.news/my-must-have...

Have you asked yourself "I wonder what's going on with Susana, and what she might like to do next?" Well, there's a lot of that talk in this lovely interview I did with @petevolk.bsky.social for his newsletter! pvguide.substack.com/p/polygon-ex...

I’ll be here!! You should come by and hang with us!

I scribbled down a heartfelt ode included in this but haven't had the heart to read anybody else's yet aftermath.site/polygon-vox-...

Polygon's new owner won't: *Commit to hiring a new EIC *Say if the site will be "rebuilt" with full-time staff or permalancers *Explain why he refused to engage with founding EIC Chris Grant during negotiations *Address Valnet's reputation for exploiting contractors and churning out seo slop

Our GoFundMe to assist our former colleagues at @polygon.com is now live! Please support them if you can, and share widely even if you can't! Thank you all for the kindness and care you've shared with Polygon and the union over the last 2 days — it means the world to us all. gofund.me/a21cbbdc

Woke up in a lovely bed and breakfast today on a lovely vacation to find out a place I've loved to work for just over a decade has been dismembered in minutes. Just wanted to join the chorus to say that I've been let go from Vox Media on May Day, along with a great team doing great stuff.

I love this piece so much. It's been 10 years since there was a Spider-Man balloon in the Macy's Thanksgiving parade, and there's never been one based on a specific comic artist's work until now. @susanapolo.bsky.social dug into the design choices behind this guy and his distinctive bulges.

I have the perfect gift for your difficult-to-buy-for relative, parent, or friend: A humongous, fancy book about Lord of the Rings that's meant to be read all year round! A huge congrats to Polygon's @susanapolo.bsky.social on authoring and assembling this killer collection of LOTR writing!

As long as I'm ballooning followers on here, seems like a good time to say that today's your last day to pre-order a copy of Polygon's big book of our Year of the Ring project, edited by me! With words from @mollyostertag.bsky.social @kendrajames.bsky.social and more! www.polygon.com/24156672/pol...

When Rollin says he's got a Dragon Age ttrpg game that's been going for a decade: I'm in it. He's the best GM I've ever played with. It's the best game I've ever been in. I just think the public should know.

I played a big beefy chunk of Dragon Age: The Veilguard and... had a great time, actually! Combat is tough, companions are captivating, and if you're a lore freak you'll likely be saying "thank the Maker" on Halloween. My hands-on impressions: www.gamesradar.com/games/dragon...

susana has made me very excited for dragon age in her writeup of what she got to play. highly recommended reading

The long and the short of it is that I played six hours of Dragon Age: The Veilguard and all it did was make me want to play more Dragon Age: The Veilguard.
