Robbie Burns Day baby Justin

Happy Mario day!

I put on my sleuthing cap and now, revealed for the very first time, can tell you about an untold Alpha Flight story from the early 1990s! It was fascinating- and well worth digging into!

Realized I'm missing a few of the new Pratchett audiobooks I want, so I took the leap on @libro.fm. Good to know that I'm supporting @bakkaphoenix.bsky.social with my audiobook purchases. Plus, they have a two bonus book offer on right now.

@bronzeagebabies.bsky.social, can you recall anything?

Does anyone know of any stories which featured the psychic or mystic agents who worked for SHIELD as protagonists? I recall seeing a couple appearances but they were always set dressing.

Yes, hello, is that God? Yeah, hi. I have a complaint. You gave me this brain that’s designed for finding berries and avoiding lions and now people are ‘just circling back’ to see if we can ‘move the needle’ on ‘key initiatives’? NONE of those things are berries.

They’ve got his archives but there’s a crew of critics keeping the flame burning.

I've been a fan of the Inferior Five since I was a kid. Sadly, they've had very few appearances since the 60's. I recently had the itch to draw them, so I scratched it! I put them in an "Avengers Circle"!

Went to see “Wuthering Heights“ with my mom and her friend Lally and hhhhhoooooollllllllyyyyy shit

Tim Curry Breaks Down His Most Iconic Roles YouTube video by The Academy

This is delightful which of course it is because it’s Tim Curry dammit but it contains two earth shattering revelations for the Curryverse and they are

1) he was considered for Ian Malcolm in Jurassic Park

2) he read the screenplay for Silence of the Lambs and wanted to be cast as Hannibal Lector

Remembering the Forgotten Movies of the 2026 Oscar Season A salute to the urgent documentaries, quiet dramas and provocative filmmakers who were ignored by Academy voters.

The Oscars are Sunday. For @ebertvoices.bsky.social, I paid tribute to 10 great movies from 2025 whose names we won't hear once during the show. Which is a shame.

You can pre-order a signed copy from @mzspress.bsky.social as well.

a comic in three panels by me Matt 1. A doctor is talking to a sad clown in classic 19th century old time clown attire. Doctor says "You know what might cheer you up if you're free tonight..." 2. The clown replies "Let me guess... go see the famous clown Pagliacci" 3. Doctor says: "Huh? I was gonna say my ska band's playing tonight. Who the fuck's Pagliacci" The font is the new font that was released today by NIrvanna The Band The Show The Movie. It's called Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie The Font. Only downside is you have to wrestle with the font a bit because every time you type "?" it replaces it with "eh?" Seriously.

Tom Cruise has entered the chat.

The shot of Closterman, Thompson, and Vonnegut hits kind of hard. I feel like I know this child and I've let her down.

That explains a lot.

MOUSEKA-GIGER [photo of HR Giger in a mouseketeer hat and holding an Oscar] ... As  fan of H.R. Giger, I have been collecting his prints and corresponding with him for some time. So, when he arrived in Los Angeles for the Academy Awards, I wasted no time in contacting him. Enclosed is a photograph of him posing with his award for ALIEN. He had just been to Disneyland the day before, which explains the hat. As a fan of STARLOG, I would like to share this picture with the readers. I’m sure they would enjoy seeing this Mouseka-Giger!

I'm gonna have to check that out. Thanks for the heads up!

Ok, that’s really neat.
