Strong resistance to cancer among not dead people is understandable. But it obscures what we share with the disease: biology itself. An Essay by the Dumbest Fuck in Fucktown.

Alternately, use another search engine. Google sucks.

Everyone involved with this project is a Very Cool Person brimming with talent. Highly recommended by me, a guy who has never ruined a reflecting pool.

This is the most erudite I’ve ever looked (deciding where to place Skeletor on the board).

Oh yeah. I won’t be paying money to see A24 movies from here on out. Fuck ‘em.

tired of the "#1 dad" nonsense. if you're a dad, stop treating it like a joke and post your actual national dad ranking. i'm # 492,018, which is actually really high up there, but more importantly it lets me enter ranked dad lobbies where i can get matched up for fistfights with dads of my caliber

New chapter of MY SECRET TWENTY went up yesterday, and the day before, and tomorrow, and Nile's life is getting more and more complicated as his dating sim powers intensify! Read enjoyable things! Support indy writers! Consensually kiss people(s)! www.royalroad.com/fiction/1731...

Hollywood producers are literally incapable of understanding why a movie is successful. My dudes, there is not, and never will be, a shortage of “ideas” or stories. You don’t need to uncover them like an oil deposit. Greenlight talented writers and directors. That’s it. That’s the whole thing.

we should talk a lot more about defunding the police.

Who do I know with comic campaigns running (or preregistration)? I've got to put an update out later for SMALL BITES and I want to make some plugs!

Wild accusations when the truth is so much simpler: Gen Z collectively lifehacked a tragedy that had befallen all prior generations. You never face the indignity of your favorite rock anthems being relegated to “dad rock” status if none of you become a dad.

Yeah I went from “Must Buy” to “Will Never Buy A Game From This Studio” in the space of three images. Fuck AI.

I dunno, fellow youths at the hobby shop, if you think my excitement for Marvel-themed Magic the Gathering cards is cringe, I’ve got sone pretty bad news about every other aspect of my personality.

Is this thing on? @admancomics.bsky.social & I are heading back to Kickstarter to do a print run for Chapter One of our new ongoing horror-mystery I JUST CAME FROM HELL! Pre-launch page is live, so click that button! www.kickstarter.com/projects/day...

Hope to see you there!

In Germany, Google is liable for false answers in its AI "overviews" that pop up at the top of search results. I wish we had this in the States. Make them pay for misleading users. the-decoder.com/landmark-ger...

MY SECRET TWENTY, my odd little romance where a genie bestows lead character Nile Trondle with "dating sim" powers, is now LIVE! Five chapters today! At least 1 a day for the next 2 weeks, & then 3 chapters week! (motion graphic cover by @colleencoover.bsky.social! www.royalroad.com/fiction/1731...

If you’re in line to dunk on Spencer Pratt: STAY IN LINE.

A story I love about Anthony Stewart Head. Thank you to this person for sharing it on Tumblr. What a mensch.

Nice to see some good news for a change.

Just added to the Helioscope etsy shop: while no one was watching I drew a Harley & Ivy sketchcard. Affordable original art? Why not? helioscopepdx.etsy.com/listing/4514...

My apartment in Raleigh, NC was essentially attached to its premier gay night club (also one of its only gay bars at the time). So the whole complex was kind of a gay bar by extension. Anyhow, I haven’t been to Legends in a long time, but I hope it’s thriving.

This book is out today. I’ve gotten an advance look (Paul doesn’t close his laptop when he gets up to order muffins at the coffee shop) and it is BONKERS in the best possible way. Paul’s one of the best writers in the biz, so you already know the story’s A+. But the art? You folks aren’t ready.

TWO WEEKS TO HEROESCON! I'll be setting up for business and pleasure all weekend long at soon-to-be-legendary table 575 in Artist Alley. See you in Charlotte! @heroesonline-clt.bsky.social

LIMITED EDITION JERSEYSSSS We’ve teamed up with @officialeague.bsky.social to make limited edition Japanese Portland Pickles Jerseys! Only 200 were made, gates are at 5PM. GET HERE EARLY If you’re too slow don’t worry, we’re having a silent auction for the player worn jerseys too!

Wanna know a neat little life hack to brighten your day? Start up a TTRPG with cool people. System? Doesn’t fucking matter. Physical or digital dice? Who cares. Minis or theater of the mind? Whichever. Just sit around a table with humans that you find delightful and go adventurin’. It’s joyful.

I’ll do this lovable lug one better. Copy me on your shoutout, and I’ll buy it for him as a birthday present.

It’s nowhere near the most important takeaway from these garbage quotes by garbage humans… …but using “He’s a vegan” as a horrifying slur on par with “child mutilator” is a perfect encapsulation of the brainrot infecting these complete and utter dipshits.

I know a bunch of folks have already answered Oregon, but it can’t be overstated. Portland is like if the Rebel Alliance opened a unionized queer coffee shop at the center of the Death Star.

Penzerker.com Let's make some awesome stuff together!

Got to see the Cherry Bombs win their inaugural game, learned a few rally songs from @portlandopera.bsky.social, and just generally had a great day at the park (lots of vegan options for food, which was a nice touch). Support your local pre-pro and semi-pro teams, y’all. It’s an awesome community.

We caught up with Carolyn Ruoff after scoring the first goal in Cherry Bombs history.

just strolling through to remind you that JUNK PUNCH by me & Carlos Javier Olivares is on it's way from @madcavestudios.com & there are fantastic covers to choose from & if you don't read our comic then you anger the tortoise... please please PLEASE do not anger the tortoise! 🙏🐢

I don’t want to overstate things, but I’m doing the Lord’s work here. And if you don’t have dusty old figures (or even if you do), they’re doing lots of cool new stuff over at the @wizkidsheroclix.bsky.social factory. There’s no better time to get into plastic minis punching each other.

Got to catch Mike Doughty in Portland last night, and hear my favorite opening lyrics of any song: All my life I’ve been slow and senseless Not struck dumb, I’m just dumb, that’s all.

Started to watch a new lovecraftian indie horror flick last night, and 30 seconds into the movie the intro images were all AI slop. Which will be as far as I ever see the film. If you can’t be bothered to make the movie, I sure as fuck can’t be bothered to watch it.

Democrats already never talk about climate change! You don't need to tell them to ignore it even more. As a reminder, if you cancel your NYT sub and email proof to [email protected] you get a free digital year of Current Affairs. We do talk about climate change!

Been going through Tales from the Crypt for the first time. Love this guy! #art #FanArt #TalesFromTheCrypt #CryptKeeper #horror #DarkArt

If I hear Katy Perry’s Firework tomorrow at the season opener I will burn Moda to the ground (derogatory) but if I hear The Prodigy’s Firestarter I will burn Moda to the ground (complimentary)

Ok this is amazing

So since I wanted to try out #morkborg #forbiddenpsalm with my partner and can’t afford minis, I have now drawn and made tokens of all the monsters in the game plus 20 hero characters to choose from. I’ll include all the files here free if anyone else wants them (print actual size on a4) More below

A fun benefit of writing serialized fiction with comments turned on is it lets you meet your readers where they are. (I’m writing under the pen name “Opaque Dragon” for reasons that are not entirely clear to me. Ba-Dum Tiss.)

For reasons I can’t fathom, Reddit occasionally sends me articles it thinks I want to read from the Claude AI forum. It’s all the worst humans on earth, obviously. But a post today really stood out. Guy tried to voice a complaint to the company’s chatbot. Perfect no notes etc etc
