Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.

I miss you, David, and your light. 🖤 Happy Tuesday, everyone, and, like he used to say: "Have a great day!"

What perfect album(s) came out the year you turned 16? ugh… “perfect” 🤷‍♂️ but of the dozen I really want to include, here’s four:

On my third cup, finishing a slice of pecan pie, and this song comes on the morning’s mix… New Order is an odd band, I really love some of their songs (this one) but I can’t say that I actually like any of their albums while Joy Division is one of my absolute favorites.

I am filing comics that hadn’t yet been put away, some being the last month or so of the Krakoa-era X books… it’s incredible how that so completely crashed and then burned any possibility that I’d get suckered into buying X titles (or Marvel comics) ever again. Two fucking crammed-tight longboxes 😑

Sundays are a good day to catch up on house projects, like... spending some time this afternoon “organizing the office” and “rearranging the bookshelves”

the holiday season is upon us

I can't get used to this lifestyle.

I'd like to think this will finally be the thing to make his supporters turn on him. But I don't know - who he is has been obvious from the start. Yes - he's a monstrous person, but the problem is everyone who sees that, and says I'm ok with that actually... spinweaveandcut.com/draw-the-line/

This Trump/Epstein stuff is so typical of a modern political "scandal," in that ... we know he did it. He knows he did it. Everyone knows he did it & everyone knows that everyone knows he did it. There is zero "did he do it?" involved here. The whole thing is about ... what, exactly?

Raise your hand if you already knew Trump is a rapey piece of crap

CLAIM: The government is run by a secret society of pedophiles RATING: FALSE. This society is in no way a secret

the GabeCube. 🥃 @ign.com I love that Valve has very thoughtfully grown a Steam ecosystem. I still have an original Controller and really wanted the old Machines to be better and thankfully they stuck with it. The Steam platform, OS, and Deck are all great and with Link, this is exactly what I want

I am 66.6% the target for Valve’s news (not really into VR) — I started this year looking to upgrade my PC and play some games to find that all I really had was some drives and a case …so I finally picked up a SteamDeck, best tech purchase ever! A Steam Machine with updated controllers is all I want

Just picturing Valve calmly reaching over the dining table, barehanded, to eat off Sony and Microsoft's plates by the fistful, never once breaking eye contact www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmKr...

Today is the birthday of artist Dave Cockrum (Nov. 11, 1943-Nov. 26, 2006). Creator or cocreator of Storm, Nightcrawler, Colossus, Thunderbird, Wildfire, Mystique, the Starjammers, the Imperial Guard, Magik, & much more!

Hostile Planet is officially LIVE on Kickstarter! This project has been in the works for 2+ years now and we're incredibly excited for it to come to light. 13 creators from across the globe telling stories about worlds after environmental collapse: www.kickstarter.com/projects/715...

Roughly 20 years ago I started a “Web Comics” bookmark folder with dozens of links. Over time many have quit, some have disappeared, and I rarely check in but when I remember to, I always catch up with Oglaf. I’m glad it’s still being made and that I finally know a bit about the pervs responsible

I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.

Evergreen post.

Mamdani elected mayor of NYC, Democrat Abigail Spanberger wins governorship in Virginia, and California passes Prop 50. (gif from the archives)

I just installed different versions of Linux on two machines… which makes this one of my nerdiest nights yet.

Just in time for Halloween, the Fright Zone autoshipped from my BBTS “Pile of Loot” and arrived yesterday - Although I wish they’d incorporated the Slime Pit, it’s another great update and my daughter loves it. While Grayskull and Snake Mountain are cool, this is the one she’s requested for her room

If you’re also fascinated by sound, this is an outstanding read featuring one of my favorite artists

A vampire that’s not Dracula

Happy National Black Cat Day! Superstitions persist to this day and unfortunately black cats are less likely to be adopted and more at risk of mistreatment than cats of any other color.

Today is the anniversary of “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown,” which premiered on October 27, 1966.

Brian Eno Presents a Crash Course on How the Recording Studio Radically Changed Music: Hear His Influential Lecture “The Recording Studio as a Compositional Tool” (1979)

He so wishes that he could draw crowds of this size.

Whether today or next month, as some sources state - this autumn is the 50th anniversary of one of the greatest albums ever recorded. It’s story, by Geeta Dayal, is the first of the 33 1/3 books that I had to purchase, definitely worth reading: www.bloomsbury.com/us/brian-eno...

This week's comic: What does not belong?

I stopped at Target for a couple things and $1 slime caught my eye, Sagan is loving it …I still haven’t found anything quite like Mattel Slime or Ectoplasm or Ooze but for only $1 👍👍

🙏 BACK THIS —> Those That Inherit the Earth Volume 1 www.kickstarter.com/projects/sec... This is such a good story. Since I have all of the zines (starting with the miscolored 1st print of #1) I was going to pass on this hardcover collection but I really don’t want to miss out on the added bits…

Drew Struzan 1947-2025 The iconic images of Star Wars, the Muppets, Back to the Future, etc… Drew had the ability to create posters every bit as engaging and entertaining as the film he was depicting …although occasionally he may have oversold the movie a bit. Thanks for so much inspiration Drew!

The X-books ended with Claremont’s run, everything since has been fanfic of mostly poor quality. If anyone should be jailed it’s Bob Harras.

I love that this is being made and that it’s not just another emulator in housing that looks like the thing, but it IS the thing and it can connect to old floppy drives and play cartridges and do everything your old Commodore could, because it is a C64 …and I don’t “need” one… but kinda really I do.

What I am currently playing-

In contrast to Hasbro’s latest GI Joe release, Mattel’s newest additions to the Masters of the Universe Origins line are outstanding! These are all characters that I wish I had 40 years ago and nothing disappoints.

Since their early course correction, Hasbro’s GI Joe Classified Series has been one hit after another — Except for this… the new AWE Striker is a miss 🫤

reboost!!!! alt tech - leave big tech pad.riseup.net/p/online-too...

The Crazy History of Scooby Doo Where Are You?! youtu.be/M1m3Zv61IEc?...

so very tempting… the FutureRetro 777 is returning! AND the earlybird price is the same that I paid when I bought mine in the ‘90s ($777) …while I do miss my FR-777, I am going to need to pass :( but this is a truly great synth and for so many reasons I highly recommend getting one.

“The girlfriend of one of the founders of Antifa”

After tucking my daughter in and putting on her favorite bedtime album (Floating Into The Night by Julee Cruise), I later decided it’d be nice to hear the Fire Walk With Me soundtrack as I was winding down - so seeing this as the first post when I opened the app earlier felt a little surreal

So last night I was reading an email announcement for a tour I wouldn’t be able to attend (Dead Voices On Air) when I discovered that this was a place, and its existence makes me happy. I hope to visit whenever I next return to Chicago.
