John Blanche has died. Absolutely devastating news. I have no words right now. It will have to wait. Farewell, old friend.

I have just seen that John Blanche has passed away. An absolute titan, one of the most influential fantasy artists of his generation. A great loss. Thoughts with his loved ones.

All the grifters and crooks are on notice.

This reckless move by the Trump Administration has nothing to do with science or informed choice – it’s about appeasing a debunked anti-vaccine agenda being pushed by RFK Jr. and his allies. I strongly condemn this decision that puts infants and children at real risk.

What’s the point of salsa without the slightest bit of kick?!?!

Do I actually want mobs of ordinary people to storm their mansions with hammers and pitchforks? No, of course not. Do I think the world would be a better place if billionaires remembered that was a possibility? Yeah.

Anyone else out there still dunking holiday treats in their coffee this AM?
