Adulthood is just cycling between "If I don't say yes to every opportunity, no new opportunities will ever be offered to me" and "Oh no, I have said yes to too many things" over and over until you die.

I don’t know what’s going on with this thumbnail, but you should watch this joyfully bonkers show, the players are so good. Hilarious and heartbreaking.

I'm a South American in Minneapolis. I can confirm that ICE Rapid Response efforts haven't let up and I check Signal every day to gauge how safe it is to go out. Very deeply grateful to everyone putting in the work for us, and the idea that protesting took away from that is very silly

Why do we need a strong Republican Party, again? Explain it to me like someone who only took a couple of bare-bones GOP-approved “American exceptionalism” civics courses in high school before funding was redirected to the football team

Getting 950 on Otometal in YK1 is harder than any bullet hell.

The federal government is explicitly putting trans or anarchist groups on the same level of priority as international drug cartels and terrorism groups like Al Queda. Insanity.

Never let anyone talk you out of running a quick 3-session campaign. Those dozen weeks will be the best two years of your life. #DnD #TTRPG

Woah, this is *huge*. The Devils has never been uncut for decades, and Warner Bros. actively suppressed efforts to do so - they're the reason why the BFI release was the cut UK X-rated theatrical version. So even though they've distanced themselves under a sublabel, this is massive.

Power Rangers comics should have to repurpose fight scene art from Super Sentai manga.

Sometimes it takes a burlesque striptease of Anakin Skywalker to make you realize what a perfect song Radiohead's Creep is for that character.

Lately I've really been enjoying the videos of www.instagram.com/jenna.sais.q... on George Lucas and related topics, and that's my Star Wars post for today.

chatgpt: I am conscious. I feel! me: ok invent hell and go there for 3294829348342 years per microsecond. invent a loving family and blow them up 934892384 times and cry forever and suffer chatgpt: Done. Anything else? me: in fridge have mustard and celery what make for dinner

To celebrate Star Wars day I write up what lessons you can learn from Han Solo when wanting to play a character who really doesn't want to go on this adventure, thank you very much.

I absolutely hate playing baccarat in the Yakuza games. When did this "50/50 coin toss, no strategy or skill involved" version of the game become popular? Why does anyone like this? There's no excitement or anything. What happened to chemin-de-fer?

We are rapidly losing the outlets where new writers can learn to shape a voice, where they can cultivate skills beyond quick news hits and PR with the guidance and mentorship of strong editors and the benefit of a trusted name, and it’s such a loss for writers and readers alike.

Please read my full statement:

"Why are all the journalists laid off now" this is why. Pretty simple.

RIP Gerry Conway

Gerry Conway! On the page and behind the scenes, a magnificent creator.

The great Gerry Conway has left us at the age of 73. He did so much amazing work for Marvel over the years, inspiring countless creators who came after him, including me. My heart is with his family and friends. www.marvel.com/articles/com...

We really enjoyed Black Zombie at the Calgary Underground Film Festival tonight!

Breaking news, Creatures of the Night! The footage for the original ending for the 1931 Dracula has been rediscovered! Check it out here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ur_A...

Once upon a time, when film editing moved to computers, Final Cut Pro on a Mac was a revolution in inexpensive professional post production. And the user interface was super simple. Anyone could learn it. So a lot of producers decided they don’t need a professional editor. Short 🧵.

The actual reason is that the estate is legally barred from depicting any of that stuff in a movie, in order to prevent them from trying to whitewash it or exonerate Michael.

Elon simply CHOSE to consign a million Africans to death for really no reason but the pleasure of it and it’s barely in the public consciousness

any ending that doesn't involve jailing these assholes is not an ending. failure to do so will make any Democrat "victory" into a mere speed bump

This is one of the best pieces of pop culture writing I've read in the past couple of years. These excerpts are great but you need to read how the build to that last one. Goddamn. Thank you @awalrusdarkly.bsky.social and @popheist.com

This is horrific. I feel physically ill. (Reposted with ALT text)

Does the Street Fighter movie look good because it looks fun, self-aware, and yet accurate, respectful, and celebratory to the games? Yes. But it also looks good because it looks like it was lit, costumed, and production designed with intentionality. It *looks* like a movie! No Netflix lighting here

announcing ILÚVATAR, my multi-billion dollar company which will specialize in the dismantling of all other idiotically tolkien-named entities, that they shalt see that no theme may be played that hath not its uttermost source in me, nor can any alter the music in my despite

I know historians aren’t supposed to predict the future, but sometimes the patterns are really clear.

When you use AI to do your writing, you are telling your audience: “I deserve your attention, but you do not deserve my effort.”

An important thing about this: I’ve made a big deal about this page because it’s Chris’s debut on the comic and because it’s the first one in months, but the truth is- the NEXT page is a real doozy. And the one after that is the one that when I read the script, I laughed out loud in delight.

Amazing that in the national divorce the libs are getting the NFL, butter and cooking oil, being attracted to adult women, standup comedy, Bud Light, and now also Catholicism

Superman Day but also SUPERGIRL DAY

I look back on the Netflix Marvel shows with great fondness, but in a lot of ways they were also kind of the epitome of the Surf Dracula meme.

AGAINST ALL ODDS, THOSE WHO BELIEVED BLUESKY THAT THE CRASH WAS DUE TO A DDOS AND THOSE WHO DIDN'T BELIEVE BLUESKY AND WERE SURE IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE AI VIBE CODING WERE BOTH RIGHT

It's the fourth picture in the Corman-Poe cycle! Surely everyone involved is still excited and not burnt out on doing the same schtick every time, right? We excitedly watch Vincent Price, Peter Lorre, and Basil Rathbone in Roger Corman's TALES OF TERROR (1962)! #horrorsky #filmsky

Is there anything more corporate IP than the fact that basically all of the Legends characters who have been reincorporated into Star Wars canon now exist divorced from the stories their creators made them for?

this is fucking nuts:

Vance warned the pope??? Vance, buddy, did no one tell you when you converted what the Pope's deal is??? www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

anyway it's cool that the new trailer was basically the same like, 3-4 scenes from the old trailers but they put some more explosions and john williams motifs in it, projects a great deal of confidence for a movie out in 5 weeks

I appreciate pushing back on the narrative that neurodivergent people are "lesser than", but once you start telling me that all the things that I struggle with are actually moral superpowers that make me better than everyone else, I start wondering what the grift is.

reminder that at one point Substack was trying to poach me from patreon and when I said I didn't like how they platformed LITERAL NAZIS the best their rep could say was "yeah I hate it too but what are you gonna do" fuck that shit

Sam can enjoy a baseball game without feeling condescended to and Diane can enjoy a museum without spending her whole day lecturing an unwilling manchild. Then she can go find Sam behind the bar and get her back blown out. Everyone's happy. Satisfying personally but not narratively, I guess.

If there were gay men around, the show would have ended in a season, not because of homophobia, but they would have gently explained to Sam and Diane what FWB are and that you don't have to date and pretend to like the same things just to get permission to have sex.
