They say you should love yourself, but I'm really more of a frenemy

I want a Star Trek series that follows a group of people who believe in Starfleet's underlying ideals, but the more militaristic post-Dominion-War Starfleet has turned its back on them. Fate makes them a crew, and they make their way in a darker galaxy while trying to do good and uphold their ideals

#writing Bluesky can't do polls, so I'll just ask: Do you work on only one project at a time? 1. One at a time. Any other projects get locked in a drawer until the current one is finished. 2. Mostly one project, occasionally dipping into others. 3. I never know which project I'm going to work on!

David Cronenberg's The Princess and the Frog

#DeathofSuperman #DC Another thing I forgot is that in the final issue, no pages are divided into panels - every page is a single panel, which is an amazingly cinematic effect. And then of course, that final gatefold:

#DeathofSuperman #DC And so...here we are. The cover seen 'round the world.

#DeathofSuperman #DC Ah, Bibbo! We have Bibbo!

#DeathofSuperman #DC Oh, man, when I saw this frame, it all came flooding into my head like Neo learning Kung Fu: Lex has red hear and a beard because he was dying of kryptonite poisoning and he transplanted his brain into a young clone who pretended to be good, and that Supergirl is actually a...

Guardian has the nerve to show up after a big battle and shame Superman about all the violence and destruction. Like, where were YOU? Supes does get him back next issue though, when Guardian apologies for being late: "That's okay. You would have been totally worthless anyways."

#DeathofSuperman #DC Ice is quite fashion forward, wearing Uggs before anyone else

#DeathofSuperman #DC So Guy got kicked out of the GL Corps, but he still has a ring? And it's...yellow? That seems...unwise.

#DeathOfSuperman #DC Maxima, saying the words every man wants to hear. Actually, the first thing I had to Google was the JLA lineup at the time. I knew Fire, Ice, Booster Gold, Blue Beetle and Guy Gardener, but didn't remember Maxima or..."Bloodwynd" (ugh, the 90s), who is actually [redacted]

#DeathofSuperman #DC I did not remember Doomsday wearing a Pulp-Fiction-esque Gimp Suit. I assume that will be explained eventually.

#DeathofSuperman #DC Love this splash page, as we clean up loose threads from the previous story. Very Kirby-esque.

Just got a copy of the #DeathOfSuperman 30th anniversary TPB. I haven't read these comics since they first came out in 1992. I'm curious how much I'll remember about the #DC universe at the time.

You know, I try to approach every day's job hunt with a positive attitude. I really, really do. But then I pull up a job description that has this as its first bullet point: • You are a motivated self starter with a bias towards action And I just wanna go back to bed.

Everyone complains about the manosphere, but no one wants to do anything about it

I wrote a thing: open.substack.com/pub/jeffedse... This one's about politics and news. Others will probably be about other things.

A perfect illustration of what it's like being married to a morning person

Well, so much for the overnight storms clearing out the humidity. Last week it was like stepping outside into chicken noodle soup. This morning it's like stepping into gazpacho.

Looking forward to this Friday

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn’t from “Star Wars,” “Star Trek,” “Dr. Who,” or “Transformers.”

It would be a shame if a flood of people went to Google Maps and added the label "Alligator Auschwitz" to the coordinates 25.866293061452332, -80.8979209401338 😉

AOC: "On this point of tax on tips, as one of the only people in this body who has lived off of tips, I want to tell you a little bit about the scam ... the cap on that is $25,000 while you're jacking up taxes on people who make less than $50,000 across the US ... while kicking them off the ACA."

Dear trans people: you are beautiful and good and worth it. You are special and one of a kind; there is no one else just like you, no one else with your heart, your thoughts. Your gender is yours and anyone who says it isn’t is full of shit. You are so incredibly valuable. I mean it.

Cognitive dissonance, gotta love/hate it.

Best Star Trek crew, wrong answers only.

Republicans in Utah commissioned an investigation into gender-affirming care for trans youth after banning it in 2023. They're now rejecting the findings of that investigation which showed access to care reduced suicides and improved "positive mental health and psychosocial functioning outcomes."

this honestly kind of works as a political quadrant

Post a robot that's not from Star Wars or Transformers.

I'm an introvert who's learned to pretend to be an extrovert. You might reasonably ask what the difference is between pretending to be an extrovert and actually being one.
