THE PRISONER debuted on CBS #OTD in 1968 Patrick McGoohan created + starred as a secret agent held in a mysterious village. "Subtle wit serves as counterpoint to the atmosphere of mystery, uneasiness and tension" TV Guide wrote of this avant-garde action series, originally broadcast on ITV. #TVSky

Hey, thanks to BlueSky for reminding me that today is Marilyn Monroe's 100th birthday! Since TCM is showing #GentlemenPreferBlondes tonight in celebration of #MarilynMonroe's 100th, I just bought the film on Amazon Prime to join in on the fun!

ABBOTT & COSTELLO MEET THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON (Charles Lamont, 1955) Two bumbling boat rental agents (Bud & Lou) agree to charter the scientific exploration of a mysterious lagoon in the Amazon, reportedly haunted by an aquatic monster and a feral jungle queen (Bettie Page).

It's also really cool that they had John Colicos, Star Trek's ORIGINAL Klingon, say this. If you can still accept Kor as Kor after he's gained longer hair and some bumps on his head, you can and should still accept someone you know IRL after they've changed their gender.

SECRETS FROM THE COMICS! 😊

Still time to get comments in before we record! #SNL #SNLNerds #MartinShort

This might be a bold statement, but Nick Lowe's "Marie Provost" is quite possibly the best song ever written about a forgotten silent film actress being eaten by her dog.

Imagining THE INSIDER with Joe Rogan doing the interviews instead of Mike Wallace. "So you're saying that tobacco industry whistleblower Jeffrey Wygand is just a liar?" "Yes. He is a liar." "Oh, wow. Wowwwwwwwwwwwww."

🥱 Why does Batman not kill the Joker 🥱🥱 Why does Batman not give his money to charity 🤯🤯🤯 :

I'm not going to overthink this. So, from my gut: "Goldfinger" - Shirley Bassey "You Know My Name" - Chris Cornell "Live and Let Die" - Paul McCartney & Wings

"So -- who named you guys the Justice LEAGUE of America?" "It was The Flash. So -- who named you guys The Justice SOCIETY of America?" "It was Superman." "Oh. Um, the name Society kind of sucks." "I know! YOU tell him!!

IMPORTANT: For any artists/writers/etc etc, using Linktree to point people to their work, from 5 July, they'll be feeding all imagery you use on your landing page into DALL-E by OpenAI. I deleted my account this morning.

Just deleted my Linktree, and I told them exactly why.

I feel like some folks forgot about courtesy likes. If you're gonna riff on someone's post, at least fucking like it.

I thought I’d written this thread 🧵 over at the old place, and was pleasantly surprised to discover I’d actually done it here. Sharing again for shits & giggles and because I still think it’s pretty funny. Enjoy! #JLA #JSA #DCComics

This should’ve been an episode of NORTHERN EXPOSURE back in the day and I’m immediately resentful that it wasn’t.

Neil deGrasse Tyson’s literalism can be annoying, but I’m glad I saw the look of crushing ego-death on Bill Maher’s face when Neil told him that aliens on other planets have seen Hitler’s speeches because they were broadcast, but they’ve never heard of Maher because his whole career’s been on cable.

And once again, we learn the remedy for homelessness is homes.

If I ever get to interview Paul McCartney, I’m only going to ask him about what it was like starring in the sitcom WINGS.

I’m not going to post spoiler images, but I’ll allude to four of my favorites. If you’ve read the stories, you’ll get it. These are the moments I didn’t see coming. #ComicsDNA #IYKYK 1) Planarian worms. 2) Slocum Brewer Cancer Clinic. 3) “…You’re a vampire, aren’t you?” 4) “Bang.”

R.I.P., Marcia Lucas, the unsung editor who created the STAR WARS I loved.

Thank you, internet. Thank you.

You know, if the Beatles kept all their money in a big brown bag inside a zoo, I'm starting to understand how they lost their own publishing rights.

Long before ANDOR, BABYLON 5 warned us of how fascism raises quitely and slowly until it feels “normalized.” Heck, even predicted the use of blonde-haired woman used as the “pleasant” face of the movement. And the use of “aliens” as the scapegoat.

Max Rebo has pulled out of the Freedom 250 concert. I was looking forward to seeing them

Mike and Carol murdered them both so they could be together and made it look like a double suicide.

The real welfare queen in America is Jeff Bezos, worth $279 billion, who pays wages so low his workers rely on food stamps and Medicaid while he sailed on his $500 million yacht to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring because his tax rate is less than 1%.

I'm retouching strips for Hogan's Alley #25. A friend suggested I use AI to restore the work. I said no, but I was curious to see what it would do, so I sent him a sample. The top is the restored source material, and the bottom is the AI "restoration." And that, dear reader, is why I don't use AI.

Agree wholeheartedly with this. Burke played Watson as Holmes's moral conscience: one who saw Holmes's faults and urged him to be a better man. For whatever reason, the writers never gave Hardwicke the opportunity to do that — not that I can recall, anyhow.

Burke nailed this role. Nigel Bruce's bumbling Watson is fun but nothing like the Watson of the stories. Burke was spot on, RIP.

Since today would have been his 92nd birthday, this is as good a time as any for me to write a belated memorial post for David Burke, the first Dr. Watson to Jeremy Brett's Sherlock Holmes in the 1984-86 television series THE ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES. He passed away on May the 10th. (1/5)

Just... WTH is going on with this package delivery, Amazon?

Share a panel that always makes you laugh! The Human Torch gives Spidey a driving lesson in the Spider-Mobile, from Spider-Man/Human Torch #3, by Dan Slott and Ty Templeton.

The guy in the loud shirt standing just behind Truman as he pins a medal on his frenemy MacArthur is my dad, the OG Frank Conniff.

ATTENTION, EVERYONE! I am preparing a BlueSky Test. BlueSky Test incoming.

“I may not make an honest buck, but I’m 100% American” does not get enough credit for what a cutting and cynical line it is. #Rocketeer

Star Trek peeps, THIS. WHOLE. THREAD.

Truth.

Maybe this will be the one where they finally get off the Island.

I'm sure it's a just a coincidence. All planets have a Floyd's Barber Shop.
