Mr. Terrific! Just for fun, because he's got such a neat design and I'd never drawn him before. I penciled this one while I was visiting family in North Dakota, painted it while at Tucson Comic-Con, and then did the final flourishes while I was at home.

An Individual Doll Can Absolutely Ruin Your Life: The Karen Black Story

it's also really important to spread the "this is illegal" message as far as you can because the majority of people are not exposed to it! most people do not even know the government is doing the illegal thing it's doing, let alone that it's illegal. when they learn about it they get mad!

Ta-Nehasi Coates is doing a lot of things with this essay, but one of the most important is fearlessly using examples of anti-trans hate to describe Charlie Kirk's politics. The contrast between his choices and those of other writers for major legacy outlets is revealing.

there are many many things I admire about Alan’s work, including the fact that he basically invented the modern landscape of my field he’s also incredibly, almost improbably fair. If he doesn’t like your show he will write that in the most respectful, thoughtful way he can.

Campaigns centered around intentionally awkward/annoying spokespeople are the horror movies about grief of TV commercials.

Dear Democratic Leaders, If you won’t stand up for trans people and their rights, you’re tellling me you won’t stand up for *anyone* or *any rights* the second they come under attack. You’re telling me you don’t stand for anything at all. Also, they’re *people*. Grow a spine or get out the way.

"In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war."

Blue & Gold. These two are often drawn as having the same body type, which has never made sense to me. Their whole dynamic is the nerd and the jock, you know?

The two kinds of Cyprus Hill song: 1. “Truly, my madness and propensity for violence alienates me from you the listener and, indeed, all of humanity.” 2. “I love weed.”

In this month's essay, I talk about 60s and 70s horror manga, my relationship to violent images, navigating real life atrocities through screens, and making sense of my love of bodily destruction

But Romulus’ characters are never deeper than Nice Girl, Tough Girl, Pregnant Girl, Good Guy, Asshole. It doesn’t give Conflicted Robot much to play off of, so he’s reduced to scenes with Necro-CGI Abomination Robot.

Am I just being deeply anti-Gen Z, or does Romulus have the least interesting ensemble of any (non-Predator) Alien movie? Even the movies people don’t like usually have a Charles Dutton or a Ron Perlman hanging out. I’m not even blaming the kids in the cast, I’ve seen some of them do better.

Man, Alien Romulus does not work for me at all. I gave it a second chance, because so many people like it more than I did, but turned it off halfway through. The set pieces are kinda fun, but the characters do nothing for me. The android is complex, but he has no interesting humans to play off of.

No I'm serious the reason we can publish admittedly, deliciously niche things like recaps of 40+ year old shows is because we aren't beholden to ad sales and SEO and corporate bosses but that also means we are very poor (right now lol) Poor in dollars, rich in heart. popheist.com/products

*I* don't know — name another site that's dishing out recaps of ALIEN: EARTH, MURDER SHE WROTE, PROJECT RUNWAY, and I CLAUDIUS every week. Can't, right? That's @popheist.com. Recaps of NEW shows and CLASSICS, baby. Please subscribe and support this madness. popheist.com/tag/recaps

I keep seeing these headlines about how these two aren’t gay in Season 2, but the obvious unanswered question is, Is ANYBODY gay in Season 2? Because nobody was in Season 1, and that’s a weird, telling choice for a show about high schoolers in the 2020s.

Timothy Olyphant: “How about we just make me look really fucking weird for this one?”

If I seem willing, as a member of the trans community, to conditionally ally with transphobes against fascism, please understand that I'm just talking about dumbasses like Trey Parker, Matt Stone, and Gavin Newsome. No TERF has ever been an ally to anyone against fascism (because they ARE fascists).

No cheating.Your last saved celebrity photo is your therapist. Who is it?

I eventually got around to actually doing this.

Real talk, when I brought up Hailee Steinfeld in this episode, I had completely forgotten that she’s Kate Bishop in the MCU. It never even entered my mind, because that’s just how much Marvel Studios has dropped that particular ball.

"Stop Mantis!" is the cry of a great city--at the mercy of an evil POWER VAMPIRE!

Rereading Alan Moore’s Swamp Thing (the early Etrigan crossover in particular) is a stark reminder of how nobody knew what the fuck autism even was in the ‘80s and just said any kind of shit about it in fiction.

roughly a million years ago, @anotherelle.bsky.social and I made this for fun, and I still find it awfully entertaining: wesandersonsxmen.tumblr.com

Stayed up late painting elves.

The coldest of wrestling takes: good fucking riddance.

Speaking as someone with a large forearm tattoo of Koko the Clown, when you’re a person with a visible clown tattoo and you run into another person with a big tattoo of a clown that’s out in the open in public, it is a normal thing to both notice but not a normal thing to call attention to.

My Fantastic Four (I may have misunderstood this one)

It’s not “nonbinary or nonmedical transitioning trans people vs trans people who need transition care/trying to transition to a binary gender expression/identity”. It’s all of us vs a society that inherently tries to limit our ability to self control our bodies and care. This is transmedicalist bs.

Watching the Internet’s Greatest Zack Snyder Defenders reduced to “THE MOVIE EVERYONE LIKES IS MAKING SLIGHTLY LESS MONEY INTERNATIONALLY THAN EXPECTED SO NYAH” is like that bit at the end of a horror story when the demon shrinks so small you can eat it.

I still think of it as The Batwoman Problem, even though Kevin Keller probably suffered the worst for it—there was a moment, post-DADT, when a lot of creators thought military was the way to go for gay characters. It was a weird look then and it’s only gotten worse with time.

Alright, I changed my mind. Here’s page one

Trying to explain to my wife that I haven’t thought about Mister Terrific much lately, but I probably read every comic he appeared in for the first ten years of his existence or so.

Still waiting for Gunn to read like one book on Gender Anything, but you work with what you got I guess.

If Warner Bros is going to support the TERF and her racist wizarding crap, the very least they can do (coincidentally and with no actual good intentions) is let this guy make Superman movies that reflect the politics the character was always meant to stand for.

Honestly it's disingenous to be like, "Conservatives are just mad that Superman is Superman in a Superman movie, how silly!" Gunn knows what he's doing and good for him. Malik Ali didn't just happen, though. His name, his relationship with Superman, his scene with Luthor. These were all choices.

Wait wait wait… Michael Ian Black as Godfrey Thomas Lennon as Virman Vundabar Michael Showalter as Devilance Joe Lo Truglio as Mantis Ben Garant as Doctor Bedlam Kevin Allison as Kanto Kerri Kenney as Granny Goodness Ken Marino as Kalibak David Wain as Desaad Ving Rhames as Darkseid

When you get home and look at iMDB for the name of Michael Ian Black’s character just to see if it’s Morgan Edge or G. Gordon Godfrey or something.

Like wow, this movie’s endorsed by Ms. Gender AND Mr. Signifier? It must have something special going on.

The leftist haters I respect the most agree that Superman is good, which I did not see coming.

Exact same usage: “Excuse me, friend.” “Thank you, friend.” “Friend, you’re causing a scene.”
