Favourite graphic novels of 2025 blog up now! www.hari-illustration.com/what-ive-bee... #BookRecs More books, nuance and yelling in the link. Comics are REALLY good, guys

Celebrate the chunky but consistent quality of the Playmates DICK TRACY (1990) action figure line.

I want more fat people in sexy shows and not for inclusivity and representation or whatever, I want it because fat people are extremely sexy.

Here's my guy Morton

here’s some more patron suggestions i drew this month! bear with me because these are from shows i don’t watch 👻 two goth kids from south park: pete the red goth and mike makowski. and then we have zagan from dead end: paranormal park and kit from jentry chau vs the underworld.

Top/bottom is not a personality trait, a power dynamic, etc. Fan fic writers PLEASE I beg you, stop thinking gay sex positions are hogwarts houses. Nobody seems like a top or bottom in real life. It means nothing.

hard launch

I dont listen to a single "celebrity" podcast. There's a whole other world out there. I tried the Always Sunny one for a bit but they're so unrelatable and rich that it became annoying. The only podcasts I listen to are queer autistic people talking about their passions and why they hate them.

You're telling me that shiny mareep was just there the whole time... and I didnt have to spend hours trying to catch one properly....

I swear bake off didnt always look so high contrast but this peep show special is genuinely hard to look at.

May this be the last christmas dominated by Jimmy Carr 🥂

They should do a gay remake of Heated Rivalry

The Mario AAA game video might be one of those silly things that actually makes huge lasting change in the industry. Like when it became socially acceptable to make fun of Marvel movies or whatever.

Informing my parents which christmas cards are AI and which are not like I'm an art expert on Antiques Roadshow

The spoils of the season.

Godzilla Earth, Megalon, Manda, and Lil Godzilla Jr are hyped for the holidays!

"And a knighthood to the prosecutor's uber driver."

I love when you have met a gay once extremely briefly and you're instantly added to their Instagram close friends. Merry Christmas!

As a Christmas present, I posted about some fleeting visions of the Super Mario RPG sequel we never got and which eventually became Paper Mario. (HT to @hamishsteele.bsky.social and his great @supermariomoment.bsky.social's Paper Mario ep!) www.thrillingtalesofoldvideogames.com/blog/super-m...

Why is commentary being "subtle" treated like some objective aim of all storytelling? People use "it was so obvious what it was trying to say" as some dig. Not being clear is not always the aim.

The stunning French airport attendant in Home Alone and her perfect hair though

It really is just written like that in the book though.

The only film I rated 1 star that I saw at the cinema this year was Better Man 🤭

(Am I crazy for thinking Nolan's Odyssey looks great?)

I like the implication in the trailer for Disclosure Day that everyone in the world is watching the Texan Weather Report

I will write this story!!

Since the Guardian are doing the "a handful of women’s groups have started to question the “unintended consequences”" thing, time to repost the open letter from Irish feminists telling UK transphobes to piss off

Informing my family and friends that no, I am not dead, I am just about to see Avatar Fire and Ash and will be be un-contactable for 4 hours.

Simply Having A wonderful

I am writing a horror story for Christmas (to call it a ghost story might be disingenuous) and it is really the most upsettingly horrible and disgusting thing I've written. Welcome to my twisted mind, etc. It'll go on my patreon before the new year.

Great read about the landscape of GenAI discussion. You need to have an understanding of what you hate. Why is it bad? What are the material effects of it? How are devs using it? Why are they using it? Then, you draw your own line in the sand. Use it as a guide. It helps me not lose my mind.

Why did nobody tell me Dr Zhivago was hot??

LIVE NOW!

60 MINUTES UNTIL HA HA HA HO HO HO TIME!

Nowhere in my parent's village sells jalapeños so I had to buy tesco mixed chillis.

I've finally realised where I know Dichen Lachman from

Exactlyyyyyyy

Breaking: Autistic community preemptively rejects David Walliams

Doesn’t feel good that the head of BBC News Content is instructing reporters to refer to trans people with slurs. If this leak is real it raises questions about who made this decision, who was consulted, and why the BBC chose to ignore its own editorial guidelines on slurs and offensive language
