Whoa, this is so huge. Playmates was there from the start 40 years ago and their toys are what put Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on the path to being a billion dollar franchise.

I just favorably resolved one of the most stressful and deflating episodes of my recent life but it involved storage bin lids so I don't think I'll tell anyone about it.

Also, why are teenagers so good at ski jumping? Can someone explain?

NBC covering ski jumping but not really focusing on crotch inflation is a real tightrope.

Why was I reading the epic Kevin Eastman interview from TCJ? Because Live at FIVE I will be talking with Dave Elliott about TUNDRA, the most incredible 3 years in comics history! I'll have the link here in a bit but if you have any questions.....reply in comments!

Looks like the Wayback Machine is down...is this about to be an extinction level event?

1998 Kevin Eastman looking back on 1990 Kevin Eastman and the state of creators rights. Has anything changed in the comics industry?

Fantastic preview of just the START of the year in comics publishing from The Beat's Nancy Powell. So many incredible books coming out.

3/16-3/29 - It’s SPX LOTTERY TIME with results coming out end of April! Good luck in advance! Finally, info for how to pay for tables will be dropping in early May. Welcome back to SPX Season!!!

These people are idiots. Also, he must have got the message that Benito is a huge part of a big Trumpy corporation that his family does a lot of business with.

I’m in terrible danger.

Jon Bon Jovi’s treachery to his people absolutely cursed these Patriots. #superbowlxl

Ad for men terrified of having a rectal exam. Definitely on brand. #superbowlLX

Bad Bunny 4eva.

As far as Super Bowl LX goes, I am rooting for Sam Darnold. Anyone who survives being a Jet deserves our support. #superbowlLX

It appears I am now getting emails for Alberta's Dr. Heidi MacDonald. If anyone knows how to reach her!

crickets from the free speech crowd, of course

Ouch Lindsey Vonn. You hate to see a legendary career go one race too far.

When Republicans do it / When Democrats do it

Mixed doubles curling - most sexual tension fraught Olympic sport by far.

Genuine gleeful laugh.

It's so funny how many people have had their brains pickled by X and Fox News and can't believe that SF remains one of the most amazing cities in the world.

Concentration camps: stories of as many as 50 people to a cell — men and women in some cases — with no windows and limited airflow, a single camera-monitored toilet, aluminum blankets, no showers and poor quality food.

Pour one out for every professional political pundit, writer, consultant whatever that has spent the last decade trying to pretend that the Trump phenomenon was about trade or opiates and not a big chunk of white america losing its mind over having a black president bsky.app/profile/kyle...

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

My earliest con going days overlapped a bit with the last days of some of these "Golden Age" SF geezers and...I quickly learned to avoid them.

So glad baseball season is coming up fast but still dealing with some pain and loss....😭😭😭

Shirley Povich writing in 1962, with the most immaculate burn conceivable of the Redskins awful, vile owner George Preston Marshall, the last NFL owner to insist on an all white roster: "Jim Brown, born ineligible to play for the Redskins, integrated their end zone three times yesterday." RIP WaPo.

What in the hell happened to this guy? Did all the evil toxic thoughts he had somehow swell up in his cranium?

One of the add'l problems with the strangulation of paid journalism in the US is that there are literal areas of coverage that are dying off. I look for knowledgable people are specialized areas of publishing all the time but there is no one to link to, no one to question, no one left to write.

All these so-called strong men bending the knee to Trump…while pretending they are not really terrified “soy boys.” We see you.

Interview: Cartoonist Zander Cannon on the frontlines of the Minnesota resistance: "It's truly astonishing the way that life has changed just in the last couple of weeks."

The most important thing about the Epstein files is that it shows all those paranoid fantasies about powerful secret organizations running the world - the Bilderbergs, the Trilateral Commission, Bohemian Grove, the Christmas Adventurers - is true. Everything happening was planned.

Can comfirm from MN, as can anyone who lives here, that not a THING has changed except little Bovino isnt peacocking around the streets anymore. And there hasn’t been a third high-profile murder of a white person yet. But the gestapo attacks haven’t stopped. At all! bsky.app/profile/jyse...

Every time I open a program on my computer it asks me if I want AI to help with shit and no, I don't. Please stop.

This Punk/Roman promo is so toothless and slick. WWE has lost that little hint of danger it used to have with worked shoots. Doesn’t even have the tooth of Cena mocking Roman’s lack of skill at promos BITD. Very very corporate now. #wweraw

Friends, we're thrilled to announce #Comics4Liam to encourage artists to draw pictures for Liam Conejo Ramos and share links to help Liam's family and other immigrants persecuted by ICE! Check out comics4liam.com and please do feel free to pitch in! Images by the great @trungles.com!

"Let’s face it: Under the weight of mounting video evidence and subsequent statements by senior Trump administration officials, the swift narrative painting Alex Pretti as a domestic terrorist hellbent on slaughtering federal agents has collapsed," writes Josh Campbell. | Analysis

This is tiny on the list of contemporary outrages but still chipping away at our traditional way of life.

Kendrick just destroyed Cher! Don’t let senior legends wander into mo man’s land like that, award shows! The Oscars sent Liza out with Gaga to protect her! #grammys

Wow I can only imagine Old Twitter during that “In Memorium Medley” which is a bit of an oxymoron in itself. #grammys

Nights like this I miss Old Twitter. The awards show banter was the best. I’m doing it for nostalgia. #grammys

Thicc trombone players as back-up dancers is an important part of our musical heritage and I’m glad it’s still in display. #grammys

Just sheer dedication.

Trevor Noah: "If things keep getting worse in America, can I come live with you?" Bad Bunny: "I have some news for you, Trevor. Puerto Rico is part of America."

Bad Bunny at the Grammys: "Before I say thanks to God, I want to say ICE out. We're not savage, we're not animals, we're not aliens, we are humans, and we are Americans."

“ICE out,” says Grammy winner Bad Bunny, adding a call to fight hate with love. This next week of pre Super Bowl rhetoric is gonna be wild. #grammys

Justin Bieber has looked absolutely miserable every time he’s been on camera tonight. Should be a fascinating performance. #grammys

The #grammys are the best awards show, just a deliriously overblown variety show that is executed with a stunning level of daring, planning and even talent.
