Been getting a lot of this and AI slop on cosmic horror lately. It's more maddening than the subject matter.

Invasive parasite that spreads its seed into other things that it then grotesquely puppets with the goal of sucking the planet dry and then repeating the cycle? Which is then spread willingly by irresponsible rich folk who believe it to be the next frontier of human evolution?

Yup, checks out.

When Akira Amemiya made an excellent Gridman short, they let him make the EVEN BETTER SSSS. Gridman.

We need to let him do the same after that Transformers short he did. Doubly so after how much Transformers is already in the excellent SSSS Gridman.

IWW IU 520 (Railroad Workers) PRESENTS:

TROLLEY PROBLEM SOLUTION

"Slip the switch" by flipping it while the trolley's front wheels have passed through, but before the back wheels do. This will cause a controlled derailment bringing the trolley to a safe halt.

Like the constant Trolley Problem chatter feels linked to the over-eagerness of the Yglesiases and Newsoms of the world to find vulnerable people to sacrifice for the greater good. Like it's a way to make HURTING people somehow seem VIRTUOUS.

No thanks!

Increasingly of the opinion that the correct answer to the Trolley Problem is "fuck you, why are you so fixated on finding reasons to justify killing people?"

Following a state order from Gov. Greg Abbott, San Antonio officials removed a rainbow crosswalk in the city’s Pride Cultural Heritage District, and the community responded by installing rainbow sidewalks #NOH8

Have I mentioned lately that I love Kamen Rider Gavv. Because I do.

I've been terrible at promoting this, but a new issue of Tales of the TMNT UK, featuring a comic strip by myself, John-Paul Bove, Kat Cardy and Jason Cardy is out now!

leaders like trump are why sun tzu had to write a bunch of advice like "don't write your enemy a letter detailing what tactics you really don't want them to do"

Don't ever take this site or anything it publishes seriously. It is actively looking to hire people who hate Starfleet Academy to write about it.

As of 8 pm on 10.3.2026, this is live on LinkedIn.

Ask me again why I think the anti-SFA sentiment is manufactured.

β€˜Harry Potter’ Toy Company CEO Says β€˜We Support Diversity’ When Asked About J.K. Rowling’s β€˜Transphobia Hurting People in the Fandom’: β€˜It’s Separating the Art from the Artist’ Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks defends partnering with Warner Bros to make Harry Potter toys tied to the new HBO series.

In 1984, when advocates accurately pointed out the harm that G.I. Joe’s Zartan caused by being described as an β€œschizophrenic who grows into various multiple personalities”, your predecessor not only recalled the toy but partnered with a mental illness charity.

Try harder.

ECCC was fun and I had a wonderful time.

But there was a storm cloud. When I complained about Trump with my white straight cis friends, we were all sincere and concerned.

But I talked with many Trans friends, and it’s so much worse. They are in fear for their lives.

Did a double take when I saw this email.

For what this means, it's basically that the client began the process to make it a union game, alerting its cast that it would be union, but then did not actually complete the process to do so.

These notices can be rescinded should everything be fixed.

With a broken Blue Bomber heart, I am no longer the voice of Mega Man.

I was asked to return for Mega Man: Dual Override, but only on the condition I work without the protections of a union contract.

The word that comes to the front for me when I think of Geats is "exhausting" for much the same reasons. I have never wanted a series to end sooner than Geats. Not in the "I hate this" way, but in the "story is over, why is there 15-20 episodes left" way.

I’m not trying to be a hater. It’s honestly more bewilderment on my part because Geats? As a Rider? So cool. The action? Incredible.

But I don’t get excited the way I do for most of the rest of the franchise. Which is weird.

If I had to take a guess it’d be that the show’s premise feels like it changes too dramatically every ten episodes or so?

But also, the plot seems to be happening despite the characters, rather than because of them.

Plot points happen because other side characters show up and say the plot aloud.

I started watching Kamen Rider when Geats was currently airing. I didn’t get around to starting it until it came out on Blu-ray in the west.

I gotta say, I’ve not struggled to keep watching a Kamen Rider more than Geats.

It’s not that it’s bad, there’s just something about it that keeps losing me.

NASA didn't spend any money developing a space pen. The Soviets didn't use a pencil.

The space pen was made by a random inventor who spent his own money on it. Both NASA and the Soviets used it, because graphite dust from pencils is a fire hazard in the weightlessness of space.
