This is how you do it folks

Lots of great ‘Yule Log’ options out there but we’re particularly partial to the Calcifer Yule Log from Studio Ghibli 🤩 Happy Holidays!

Extremely funny to call the pope “holier-than-thou”

at the mall but I’m shaking my head so everyone knows I understand that Christmas has become too commercialized

Newest podcast episode for your holiday listening pleasure!

imagine having an actual evil twin

💯

Fraud is bad. The fact that it’s being prosecuted here in MN is good, actually. But I also wish the folks rushing to label the entire Somali community as ‘garbage’ because of one case would be similarly upset about Trump gutting funding for the IRS and letting this problem continue to get worse:

From our most recent pod episode; talked about ways to help the Somali community as well as our other immigrant communities here in Minnesota as they've come under direct attack from the federal government. Please consider supporting any of these orgs if you can!

Great writing by @parkermolloy.com here. The word ‘Hypocrisy’ just doesn’t cover it anymore and it’s almost futile to continuously point out the double standards — but this was a thorough and well-written breakdown, well worth the read.

Remember when people were fired for *quoting* Charlie Kirk?

The anti-Semitic mass shooting in Australia will cause a national conversation and policy change. We know this because the 1996 Port Arthur massacre led to significant restrictions on guns. The shooting at Brown will do nothing. We know this because it occurred on the anniversary of Sandy Hook.

Me, to all my friends, probably way too often.

This ruled. Super cool to chat with Luisa. If you liked TOXIC AVENGER, WICKED, or are just fascinated by behind the scenes creature and puppetry work, give this a listen!

Just joined the Walgreen’s rewards program to get $11 off a box of Lactaids. How are you raging this weekend?

look at this goofy shit

Great Moments in Immigration Enforcement "I asked them if they had a judicial warrant. They said they didn't need one. I said yes you do." Employees then captured video of agents leaving and turning the wrong way on a one way street. youtu.be/C9t9HE9vmX0?...

New Frankenstein’s Podcast episode is out and Joe and Kalid are chopping it up with Luisa Guerreiro: the actor and puppeteer behind Toxie from this year’s remake of the Troma cult-classic; “The Toxic Avenger”. If you think this art is cool just wait until you check out the movie and the episode!

Zohran flip your hair again we need healthcare get him to give us healthcare.

Forgot to share this a while back: This was such an exciting episode to record; Marshall is always a blast to talk to and Howard is an absolute VFX legend. The stories they bring to any conversation are nothing short of insightful. Loved getting the chance to talk THE HOWLING with them!

Perfection

It's fun to see Spielberg and Columbus involved & hopefully this is great for practical creature effects creatives, but can't help but feel a bit 'on-the-fence' as to whether or not this is a good idea. Does everything need a legacy sequel? Does everything need to be franchise-ed?

A not insignificant number of the upwards of 1,200 film workers who signed this pledge are Jewish themselves. Feels like anti-semitism might not be the actual issue at hand...🧐

If your government thinks the Pope “doesn’t know what he’s talking about” when he defends migrants’ dignity, the world should see the warning sign. The US is no longer leading on human rights. It’s suppressing them.

A ‘fun fact’ if I’ve ever seen one!

“I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life”

No one really knows what to do when a bad guy dies. Do you bow your head but do a wink to camera before you do, or do you do a dance (but respectfully)?

“You go on. Laugh. It’s just a sandwich. Yeah. But what if instead of Italian, or whole wheat, that bad boy had been on rye? You ever had a damn caraway seed in the eye, man? You ever seen what that does to a man?”

Incredibly funny to watch the right wing going Oh so just because I love money and hate poor people I'm a bad Christian according to "the pope"???

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

Good morning and fuck you (not you, probably)

Full artwork for this week’s Frankenstein’s Podcast episode. Inks to full digital cover. One of-if not-the best work I’ve done for the podcast. Thanks to Joe and Kalid for keeping this fever dream going. And a special thanks to Howard and Marshall for joining them on this amazing episode.

jaw dropping headline

Remember when they were upset about taking down statues?

My latest for @twincitiesgeek.com: Got to speak with the folks at @zpuppets.org about their upcoming show, CELLULA, which combines blacklight puppetry with the concept of cellular mitosis. It sounds like an absolute blast - the show runs from Oct 23-25!

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

Absolutely loving the gnarly cover art for these issues of Star Trek: Red Shirts. Props to Christopher Cantwell & Megan Levans for putting together a really cool and unique Star Trek comic with this series so far. Lots of fresh ideas that never shy away from brutality & intensity!

Great recs! Lots to add to the 'to-read' list! For anyone interested, we did an episode with Shane Hawk not too long ago all about Indigenous Horror. Really fun conversation, check it out!

This is such a fun bts shot from Star Trek: First Contact. The Borg Queen has been somewhat of a contentious canon addition amongst Trekkies, but there’s no doubt that Alice Krige was fantastic in the role & Frakes directed the hell out of this movie.

Coming soon on the pod! Author @katsilvaauthor.bsky.social joins us to talk monsters as well as her latest book, ‘Where the Soul Goes.’ Look for our episode coming out next week!

Love @daytonward.bsky.social’s Trek books and this cover absolutely slaps. Looks like it might be taking place post-season 3 too. Definitely stoked for this one!

Check out my latest science article for @twincitiesgeek.com! Got to chat with @microbesheik.bsky.social about a truly amazing discovery in our Great Lakes. I always love learning more about these kinds of stories.

I seriously just had the BEST time recording a podcast with @frankenpodcast.bsky.social. If you guys haven't listened to their episodes yet, you should get on it. Kalid and Joe know how to have fun. www.frankensteinspodcast.com

Thank you so much for the kind words in your intro, @miquai.bsky.social! This was a delightful chat & can't wait to have you back on @dslovepod.bsky.social!

Not without their flaws, but GRIMCUTTY & COME PLAY are couple of severely underseen/underrated horror flicks. Definitely had a lot of fun with both & they make for a good double feature!

100% agreed. Really digging the vibes of this first issue & love how this is following up on some dangling threads in some cool and unique ways. Definitely looking forward to issue #2.

New podcast episode! 💚🎙🖖 I beam aboard @dslovepod.bsky.social—a podcast that explores love, in all its forms, throughout the final frontier—to discuss the relationship between D'Vanna Tendi and Samanthan Rutherford on Star Trek: Lower Decks.

Wack. Want to watch this show even more now.
