Another one of my GI Joe cardback mess-arounds (aka how I dissociate in the evening), asking and answering the question, "What if Hasbro *didn't* give up on toys of female characters and released the definitive multi-pack of the entire line in 1989?" 🧵

So happy to write this, and grateful to Pop Heist for caring about libraries. Support your local libraries and library workers, y’all! 📚

'G.I. Joe: The Movie' has long been a sore spot for the creators, but its current reappraisal has allowed Buzz Dixon to embrace his work.

We recapped a LOT of TV in 2025 — and a lot of it also aired in 2025! Check out our takes on some of the year's best shows in our RECAPS tag. buff.ly/1iXwJWo

“Once this worm reaches the top of this pole, the pods will ripen and this pitiful planet will be ours!”

Good riddance 2025!

And EVEN MORE Cobra-La coming in the next week! 🐍

GIGANTIC interview with the head writer of G.I. Joe about Serpentor and Cobra-La (two of my all-time favorite sci-fi concepts), dealing with Hasbro and the studio...absolutely fascinating reading if you were raised on this stuff. It's the interview @brettwhite.bsky.social was born to do

I want everything Sir Richard Attenborough wears in Miracle on 34th St, including the Santa Suit.

90s Miracle on 34th St > 40s Miracle on 34th St in almost every regard. Hot take.

I'm a senior in high school, walking through hallway: "Yo tighty tight, your jeans so tight your balls are gonna get a yeast infection!"

Menswear, superhero comics, GI Joe — love how all the things I'm interested in are part of spaces that, if you veer off ever so slightly, you're in full-blown bigot country.

The queens team up in trios to tackle a talk show challenge that tests their tenacity, tenderness, and overall talent.

This is a fun window into the world of toy adaptations and the creative process in general

Rudolph was written by Romeo Muller, a man who never married or had kids which for men in the midcentury .... (I've gone down rabbit holes trying to figure out if he was gay)

Gonna be a little bit ~different~ today and pay tribute to the queer icons of Christmas. Starting with fussy, frustrated, child-hating Professor Hinkle from "Frosty the Snowman."

One of my fondest Christmas memories, one of my fondest NYC memories, and one of my fondest UCB memories: watching "A Muppet Family Christmas" at UCB East at midnight with a theater packed full of comedians, all cackling at every single joke.

Back to making very specific, kinda weird, nostalgia jumbled GI JOE shirts. www.teepublic.com/user/brettwh...

Wild how Paul Williams is one of the greatest songwriters to ever grace our planet and he primarily wrote music for frogs and otters

'G.I. Joe' writer Joshua Williamson and Energon Universe editor Ben Abernathy detail Robert Kirkman's influence on Cobra-La's return.

The drag delusion on CANADA'S DRAG RACE is as deep as the shade.

A comprehensive, 5000-word interview with the one and only @buzzdixon.bsky.social — an architect of my childhood and a real, positive torchbearer for the GI Joe franchise. It was an honor. popheist.com/buzz-dixon-g...

I've been in charge of working with freelancers and maintaining a publishing schedule for a year now the major thing I've learned: don't treat your writers as if they are trying to scam you and get out of doing work.
