My friend Susan is in the paper!

Lots of big feelings about space today. I was in kindergarten when the Challenger exploded. Christa McAuliffe was from the nearest city. It was a huge deal. We watched it live.

Deeply embarrassing that Jacobin doesn't bother mentioning the actual artists who drew, colored, and lettered the comics in this critique of "liberal capitalism."

One time, in kindergarten, the teacher had the class brainstorm a list of things that we do on Saturday mornings. I said, "watch cartoons," which was important to me because I had limited TV time when I was a kid and 80s cartoons were awesome. 1/2

What was the Beatles song about music overcoming political divisions? Oh yeah, "Bach in the U.S.S.R."

Does the left need a reminder that it's okay for men to have pink toys?

Eighty-five years ago today National Periodicals set the course of human history and registered Detective Comics #27 with the Library of Congress copyright office. Happy Batman Day!

Good history, even if I don't share the cynicism about Robotman. I would love, love, love, collections of the Jim Meddick comics. youtu.be/gP01pIB99ws?...

27 years later: Oh, "Borg" is just short for "cyborg," isn't it? What a stupid name.

This new Star Trek show is weird. www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqd0...

Valley of the Dinosaurs, Dinosaucers, Cadillacs and Dinosaurs... I feel like I'm missing an important one...?

The bad news: AI-generated text and images will soon account for the majority of new content on the internet. The good news: the skyrocketing price of consumer-grade RAM modules, graphics cards, and routers means we will soon be living in a post-internet society!

The human world is speeding toward catastrophic biodiversity loss & irrevocable climate crisis collapse. It's mindboggling to me that the US is not on a "wartime rationing" type track across so many sectors, while providing a safety net for the most vulnerable. Instead, well... we can all see it.

So long, old friend. You served me well. One day I may even forgive your for leaking your contents into the bottom of my fridge and onto the kitchen floor.

You either die a hero, or you live long enough to become MAGA. #ChuckNorris

All I really need to know about automobiles I learned from The Transformers.

Remember the time the United States invaded another nation, were welcomed as liberators, established a functional democracy, and the war was over in a week?

I had a dream last night that for hundreds of years I successfully conned a kingdom into thinking I was a powerful wizard, until the kids from the 80s Dungeons & Dragons cartoon showed up, blew the lid on it, and the kingdom was consequently overrun by angry pirate zombies. Thanks, kids.

Still the greatest Superman story ever told.

Ziggy. Care Bears. Rainbow Brite. Strawberry Shortcake. Get Along Gang. Shirt Tales. There used to be so many franchises based on greeting cards.

Three days short of her 100th birthday. www.comicsbeat.com/tatjana-wood...

Why are chefs lifelong curmudgeons? The best ones roux the day they were born.

Remember 2003 when some of us were saying a homeland security mega-department might be a bad idea?

It's 2026. You're on the cover of The Rolling Stone. Are you still thrilled? How many copies to you buy for your mother?

This thing has invaded my YouTube algorithm and I don't know what to do. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bb5S...

25 years. www.youtube.com/watch?v=orY1...

…That "Generative AI" does not tell you the truth, that it doesn't give you facts, & that when its outputs conform to factual reality, it's by fucking happenstance. These systems are not all-in-1 answer production machines, they are collections of stats & regularities spat out via fucking dice rolls

"Thought leadership." 🤢 🤮 thehill.com/homenews/med...

I think, therefore I think that I am.

This edition of "Enemy Mine" blantantly features a Metaluna mutant on the cover.

RIP Chuck Negron of the best Hoyt Axon cover band. youtu.be/EVcpKjXYa5c?...

I tried to take a photo of a grasshopper on my windshield, but now it looks like a gigantic bug destroying the town.
