If anyone needs me I'll be drinking the tears of Trek "real fans" mad about a silly poster.

You know it says something that corporations are all "let us use AI to replace those pesky writers and artists with their independent sentience and their opinions" but I still have to sift through a ton of useless emails from many of those same corporations myself that got past the spam filter.

Trump is so against wokeness he keeps dozing off. Which is a cheap joke but it's about all the effort he's worth.

I legit wonder how so many people claim to love and look up to various fictional heroes who would punch them the hell out for how they behave. Oh you love Wonder Woman but screech about queer folks? You love Trek but whine about multiculturalism? How stupid and delusional are you, really?

Unfortunately the guy who thinks veterans are losers and deaf soldiers are depressing irelevancies isn't going to fire the neo crusader drunken rapey bro he hired. Hegseth has to insult or really embarass Trump or he won't care.

"You ruined this X-Men fan group by making it political!" Oh yes, that's a real problem. People should be able to enjoy that classic non political era of the X-Men... There Uncanny X-Men #1 page 8. It gets political after that...

Assuming this video clip that for some reason popped up in my feed is accurate there are off brand Power Slap promotions and... we're not gonna make it, are we?

There's a pattern I've noticed. When things are a bit better, even just for awhile? A noticeable uptick to overreacting shit. Like if Trump gets his nose bloodied in the press or some asshole got arrested? A noteable number of folks revert immediately to getting really worked up over minor stuff.

This Racoon is the official mascot for 2025.

Just got an email notifying me of a CLE seminar about how to craft the "right" prompts for legal work and I'm gonna go throw up now.

Megyn Kelly makes a lot more sense if you understand how often people who claim to love Jesus really love torture, murdering brown people, and molesting kids.

Just saw a guy cherry pick images from Injustice with Superman killing people to prove anyone who doesn't like Superman killing in a film is a big hypocrite. And he was just smugly mad the whole time. This is a bit like proving Star Trek is fascist by only showing mirror universe eps.

I quite like QTs work to be honest but this is such an asshole move that I hope someone tells him to shut the fuck up for once. I mean other than me. I guess I just did.

Every time a celeb loses a pet several people online remind everyone else why they should be cattle prodded in the junk until they stop being how they are. Because you see famous folks aren't really people so it's okay to just be a total cockwaffle about their loss.

I sometimes wonder what the actual consequences would be for a creative with a clean record if they just snapped at a trade show and just pummeled someone sneeringly saying "yeah your stuff is pretty good, I pirated a bunch of it from (website)". I feel like it might be an Aldo Raine situation...

I started reading Captain America 45 years ago with part 2 of a 3 parter. Started Legion of Superheroes with random Adventure Comics and then jumped to then modern issues. Loved it. My first Flash issue was Capt. Boomerangs origin in a digest of villain origins. Its an overstated "problem".

One thing we REALLY need to stop doing is fetishizing ignorance in reacting to entertainment. Don't know who a popular character is or what a significant historical event is or what have you? The only "sick burn" is if you think pointing that out is proof of quality. It's just your ignorance.

Hmmm... I'm not sure. I'm really open about the stuff I love and don't do "guilty pleasures" but maybe something obscure and old like The Adventures of Prince Achmed or Westward the Women. But I don't think folks who know me who know those would be surprised.

Seeing a bit too many "well, yes the Nazis were bad but..." yabutting in the last few days and...if that happens around me in real life? I might just start slapping people. (Its safer and there's less risk of damaging your hand.)

If Netflix buying WB means they'll dive into all the stuff Zaslav keeps burying with the idea that it's better to make money using creative stuff than burying it without effort and claiming it as a loss? That would be a positive.

Anyone want to hear a good joke? Dude today tried to tell me today what was or wasn't "comic accurate". This joke works on a lot of levels. That's why I like it.

Seeing folks discussing some hinky shit the right is trying to do and I think in the interests of not infighting over counterproductive crap people need to normalize "why not both?" A shitty act by fascists could be aimed at poor people AND ethnic minorities AND queer folks.

Random thought after perusing some recent buys: too many games are set in this model: "Here's this badass thing that protects or rules (or both) people in this setting. They're amazing. They're seriously like so cool and they do so much." "Awesome, how do I play one?" "What? Oh you don't." "..."

Given how often assholes are mad at video games, comics, etc.? I'm starting to feel like a lot of the worst "oh that's just regressive propaganda!" types are just false flag operations to hurt the stuff showing fascism and other vile shit is evil.

Watching Kraven and... I'm okay with it. Is it DC's Catman made into Kraven? Yes. But that's okay. Note: I'm not claiming it's the best or anything. But the excessive negativity towards its feels a bit like it came from a lot of folks who don't make anything telling everyone else what has worth.

A lot of us would be happier and feel better if some asshole hadn't invented terms like "problematic favs" and "guilty pleasures." People who frankly do very little to make the world better for you or anyone else who isn't them get too invested in making sure you feel guilty about silly shit.

Hot takes I could never hear again and be happy: superheroes are inherently fascist and I know this because one famous grumpy comics writer said this while being an asshole about it and it sounds so 90s era edgy academic to parrot that back.

The various Black Friday deals on streaming services reminds me that literally nobody cares at all about customer retention and loyalty. Just new customers.

Watching "real comic fans" screech about isolated panels they are shown from various alternate universes, going on and on and in fact on about how the characters were ruined makes me kinda want to tell them "dudes, don't read any old What Ifs, they will straight up kill you."

So... good PS5 exclusive games? I have Spider-Man 2 already. Ghost of Yotei is a given for me for various reasons. I'm sure I'll get God of War and the second Horizon Zero Dawn at some point. PC and PS5 only counts as exclusive for this. Any surprising gems?

Trying to vampire on to a comment of mine about using MAGA cults for grift and then acting like I'm some sort of seekrit bad person for not thinking that shit is noble gets a block. It never fails. People say "you know, that's a good point" and here comes the asshole.

"The new Superman film was terrible and I'm a huge Superman fan!" Oh really, rando. Let's check your page. MAGA shit. Racism. Classism. Anti Immigrant crap. Yeah, Clark would just think you're keen. These fucking people.

Serious question: does Southern Central Asia (India, Pakistan, etc) have a noticeable Snyderbro problem? Because when I see screeching fucknugget culty decidedly un-Superman types online there's a definite bloc of names and locations from that region. In addition to shitty white guys of course.

I've hit full "if you can't at least occasionally speak out about the massive evils obviously on in the world? I don't care what you insist I need to do about some celebrity or creative or whoever you've decided is the devil based on surely limited info." I just don't have the spoons to give you.

I'd pay a reasonable fee to beat the everyliving fuck out of "real" Marvel fans who just want to make racist cracks about the new Wonder Man and such. If nothing else I wish their friends and coworkers would see this shit. "Here's the pro slavery joke Bob in accounting thinks is high comedy..."

Pritzger and Chicago: get the fuck out of our town, fascists! A few miles north at Northwestern U: Sure, we'll cave and give you 75 million for bullshit claims... we can always just hike tuition. So glad I couldn't afford to go when I got that recommendation for early admission.

Party Idea. Dress as your favorite Spider-Man villain and then... (Its a pinata)

I admit I'm getting a wee bit weary over various "progressive" peers of mine who would swear they're much more enlightened than me, you, and that dude over there being curiously silent on various crimes, rights violations, etc. unless it's connected to a grift or a chance to act better than others.

Drunken Rapey Dipshit who Thinks Sun Tzu is a Chinese Restaurant Acts Like How He Thinks Tough Guys Should. There... fixed the headline.

I wish I was surprised but instead I'm just very very disappointed. On many levels. Including that no one recognized her. But then I suspect ICE agents only watch Powerslap and child porn.

A friendly reminder that finger wagging at those who need the discounts today to get stuff they need or just really want and can't otherwise afford is pure pompous shitbird behavior only smugfuck assholes get off on so maybe don't. Boycott if you will. Good reasons to. But leave others alone.

Its funny to watch folks drag on Post Malone. I think his stuff is okayish and I agree with my mom he looks "scruddy" but I've also heard from folks I trust who've worked with him he's a cool and considerate guy and doesn't engage in the shitty behavior many celebs who work with "the poors" do.

Yes this is terrible. I'm also very tired of this podcast getting spread around when all it does is platform these vile idiots and normalize staying in family units that say you deserve to be killed. Stop. Supporting. Content. Like. This. Its not "a necessary conversation" its just tabloid crap.

If you drill down a bit they're pearl clutching because folks are keeping their smartphones for an average of...29 months. -- sent from my 5 to 6 year old Galaxy S10+ that still works fine.

In a weird bit of synchronicity I got sick yesterday and did not feel up to preparing Thanksgiving dinner as planned. Lauren, while at a local store getting stuff for me and mom... won the last full Thanksgiving dinner they were raffling off for charity. So that's handled.

A game company I've done work for has had to finally raise its prices after years of not and perusing comments about it I'm reminded how too many gamers are entitled self important cheapskates who are upset if you price things to make a living.

JD Vance's weird anti Turkey rant is what happens when you order "give me a relatable anecdote to make me seem more likable" off Temu.

If they lock up Kristi Noem they could make some decent money paying folks to dress up in a glammed up uniform and pose in front of her cell. Which would be just awful except... its just a puppy killing fascist.

Oh man I am so over the mouthbreathing dumbfuck "gotcha" response to saying "remember your supposed to refuse illegal orders" with "show me the illegal order! Dur hur!" Seriously, how exactly fucking stupid does one have to be to think that's a zinger?

For the first time after needing both CCLs on her back legs replaced Sola got to really run and play with another dog. Was I nervous? Oh yes. Am I thrilled? Also yes.
