Waiting for my hot date to finish getting ready so we can go to the Vermont Book Awards.

Hit up the Little Giant comics show in NH yesterday and scored a bunch of cool stuff, including a bunch of $5 issues of Creepy, Eerie, and Savage Sword.

A24 has released the official trailer for Backrooms and, thank god, it doesn't tell us much about the film. Tickets are officially on sale. #Backrooms #A24

Tonight’s pairing, both new this month. Even the Good Girls Will Cry by Melissa Auf der Maur. Nothing’s About to Happen to Me by Mitski.

One of the challenges in bringing A Quiet Place into comics is the whole hook: sound = death. That tension works beautifully in the films, but comics don’t have sound!

Tearing through these Transformers UK comics and it’s such a joy to finally see what the buzz was about.

Post your favorite Lord of the Rings character. Wrong answers only.

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Found this on eBay for a steal - Ben Dunn original art from Kendra, his Red Sonja homage/rip-off comic. I don’t think this issue is even out yet!

DO YOU NEED A HOSPITAL SHIP?

Pritzker demands a $1,700 refund per family for the people of Illinois after Trump's tariffs were ruled unconstitutional. Dems, pay attention. This is your midterms message.

What could go wrong using AI to help stage a few listing photos?

BREAKING: Senate Republicans just blocked the clean ACA tax credit extension that the House passed to save millions of people thousands of dollars each. If you’re paying double or even triple for health insurance, blame Trump and the Senate GOP.

Today ICE killed a woman in cold blood. Her name was Renee Nicole Good. This isn’t an isolated incident. Since Trump’s second term began, dozens of people have died in ICE custody. We need Nuremberg-style trials. Silence is complicity. History will judge.

My little guy (and gal).

trying to eat soup in the shower would be a nightmare, you'd be in there forever. you'd get so full.

Friend in Westchester NY is trying to place a very friendly cat that hangs out in their yard. The cat is good with other cats. Please spread the word. They’ll have to go to aspca if it gets much colder (yes they built a temp shelter plz read the screenshot). #adoptdontshop #Westchester #PeekskillNY

How I’m walking out of 2025

Become ungovernable

I’m not outraged. The nonprofit sector needs talented & dedicated people and that means salaries/benefits competitive w/ for-profit world. $1M sounds like a lot (it is!), but not outrageous for running one of the biggest charities in the country.

Shadow, take me down Shadow, take me down with you

Why do we crucify ourselves every day? I crucify myself and nothing I do is good enough for you I crucify myself, every day I crucify myself My heart is sick of being I said my heart is sick of being in chains, oh-oh

@liamsharp.bsky.social just gave us the most insanely detailed Conan tale of all time in Savage Sword #11. Buy this mag now! Every panel is a masterpiece.

#NowWatching my all time favorite movie, Back to the Future. I have seen this probably over 100 times as a kid. I revisit it every few years and still pick up on little details I didn't notice last time. #filmsky 📽️

My turn!

the only thing democrats should be saying today is “the entire republican party is engaged in a coverup of the most notorious child sex trafficking ring in world history”

Sam Douglass, self-described victim of a massive media and political conspiracy, has taken to a Christian crowdfunding platform to wallow in self-pity and beg for money. thevpo.org/2025/10/22/s...

Is that Garfield teased as a future villain at the end of Absolute Wonder Woman #12?

What Tom doesn’t understand is that many immigrants, people of color, and LGBTQ+ folks have already gone into social media silence because they have targets on their backs right now.

My top five John Carpenter films are: 1. Halloween 2. The Thing 3. Christine 4. In the Mouth of Madness 5. Assault on Precinct 13 What about you?

Post a fictional comedian who definitely would accept an invitation to the Riyadh Comedy Festival

I blame Ben & Jerry for leaf peeping season & craft beer makes about as much sense as this take.

He may play a CREEP but Mark Duplass is a stand-up guy, as Duplass Brothers Productions is teaming up with the Transgender Film Center to launch the Found Footage Fund for trans filmmakers.

Abolish ICE.

Which movie villain should show up in Gotham City?

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

"It's not MSNBC anymore, Lemon. It's MS NOW. We bought the name off of a defunct multiple sclerosis awareness organization. It wasn't cheap, but we were able to save some money by selling Brian Williams to a Saudi prince who wanted to expand his harem."

Sir put down your phone a Duck is eating your toast

super in love with this panel from G2 #7 where every single character gets colored in but then we get to Blitzwing at the top and the colorist is like "fuck that guy" and does him in Mass Crowd Scene Blue

Friday night record: New Radiations by Marissa Nadler, out this week from Sacred Bones Records. She plays Vermont in February next year.

Today’s mail. Horror manga has been my jam lately and Witches and Hauntress are both essential reading for that genre/medium. And I remember enjoying DCeased, but I still crave a magnifying glass (or some prescription readers) when I crack open one of these DC Compact collections.

"Let me be crystal clear: crime in DC is ending and ending today."

Same energy.

Staying cool with some Giallo films this afternoon while Phayvanh is at rehearsal - and then downtown later for an evening showing of WEAPONS with some friends.
