Hey so this seems like something more people should be talking about 🤔 🗳️ www.npr.org/2025/10/23/n...

I can't be the only one who thought Hamnet was a pretty good folk horror movie.

These kinds of books exist for two reasons. 1st is elite signaling: elites (or elite hopefuls) talking to other elites about how to run the world. 2nd is demoralization: lie to your face to discipline you for undermining them. We actually discussed the beginning of the pandemic way better this year

My favorite Christmas movie is Smoke from 1995.

Yes, Weiss spiking the CECOT story is awful. Yes, her job is to be a fascist collaborator and it always has been. Yes, she knew that and so did the establishment media that made her career. Yes, this is where american journalism's servile deference to the powerful was always going to lead.

Oh hell yeah! This is going to be a good one.

i'm basically making the bourne identity but he slowly realizes he's a harlem globetrotter

It only took me 11 months, but I finished Middlemarch!

I just finished watching all 3 seasons of original recipe True Detective. I can't believe how stupid the internet is with all the debating as to ranking the seasons or even if any season other than the first is good. All 3 are variations on the same theme and the whole is better than any 1 season.

Was a big fan of the monolith from 2001, had no idea it visited Epstein Island. Donating my Blu-Ray to charity.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

These Epstein files are wild

I think everyone is being a little unfair to David Brooks. Seeing as no one else is being held accountable for their connections to Jeffrey Epstein, how was he supposed to know people would think he should be?

Gender affirming care saves lives.

sorry everyone, we had no idea when we started this autopsy report it could potentially lead to accountability

First of all drawing is 95% looking and 5% mark-making, so it helps a lot if you like to look. And once you learn to draw, you can DRAW WHATEVER YOU WANT, WHENEVER YOU WANT TO LOOK AT IT, and NOBODY CAN STOP YOU. 👀👀👀

Yeah, it's dropping tomorrow. Sorry it took so long. I was just making sure it's the best podcast episode you're ever going to listen to.

It doesn’t matter if your comic is stupid. What matters is whether YOU commit to the bit

I wish there was more public recognition of how batshit insane it is to call the president a dangerous authoritarian and then give him a $1 trillion military budget

It's fitting that the cover on AI mindlessly apes an earlier creation and also displaces workers while elevating Silicon Valley plutocrats.

Stealworkers

good comic books sometimes have a single panel that you fall into a build your little personality around

Tubi is such a crazy streaming service. It’s like if the Criterion Closet was in a gas station

This is the most Starship Troopers coded shit. Paul Verhoeven is like, "shit I should have gone further"

This story has really inspired me to also be Kate Winslet's son.

Today is the birthday of artist and writer Sam Glanzman (Dec. 5, 1924-July 12, 2017). A veteran of the Navy, he is most remembered for his work on war comics, which included an autobiographical series about his service aboard the USS Stevens during WWII.

This is one of my fav episodes of a fav podcast.

The arrival of one of the first great prose stylists in mainstream American comics.

This explains so much lol

Thankful for all my fellow luddites today. Hammers up 🤖🔨❤️

Living through a million+ people suddenly dying of Covid...seeing artists and writers I admire get knocked down by it. I can never go back to the time of casually getting sick and spreading illness to others...I am permanently altered

imagine walking down the beach and seeing jesus carrying some guy

This is great news! Congrats to @stephenrbissette.bsky.social. (Now let's get you working on a Taboo retrospective collection!).

*punching the air repeatedly* hell yeah fuck yeah let’s goooo

“the whitr house” love when democratic senators use AI graphics, definitely makes me feel valued as labor for the movement

Got confused earlier when I went to reorder my shelf of Stephen King books and they all fell on my head. Then IT hit me.

“Frankenstein or The Modern Prometheus” is a novel about the dangers of going into STEM

One of the root causes of complex PTSD is experiencing a horrible series of events over time and not having anyone validate it, or indeed deny it was important. It’s almost impossible to integrate a traumatic experience without your social groups accepting that it occurred and that it mattered.

any politician that can't name all the players in at least three of the lineups of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers should be barred from holding office

It is 1998. I am at the kitchen table writing Batman fanfic but I keep getting distracted by breaking news about a Bill Clinton sex scandal It is 2025. I am at the kitchen table writing a canonical Bat-book but I keep getting distracted by breaking news about a Bill Clinton sex scandal

boy oh boy, I wish Late Night With Conan o' Brien was still on the air tonight

My most strongly held comics opinion (I hesitate to say "opinion," because it's a fact): lettering should be the first finished thing done, not the last. Done after (or along with) roughs and finalized before pencils. Pencils and inking should be done AROUND the lettering.

How come I've never heard about this?!? Absolutely brilliant. And 100% correct.

no matter how disappointed you may be in the democratic party you will never be as disappointed as the democratic party is in you for expecting anything of them at all

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous
