Guess I’m not watching WonderMan.

Marvel employees were asked whether the 'WONDER MAN' poster for the in-universe movie was created using Al.
"Its artwork made by artists but touched up by Al," which was clarified with "so, really Al-assisted Photoshop work," and the response was "yes."

a quick comic to dispel the demon of having not made a comic

Emma sits peacefully with a cup of coffee. “It’s nice to take a few days where I’m not pushing myself to make something,” she thinks. She takes a sip of coffee. Her shadow lurches out from behind her and yells PURPOSE NOT BEING FULFILLED

Because it needs to be said:

The Salvation Army does not exist to save you

The Salvation Army exists to convert you

And if they cannot convert you, they will not lift a finger to save you

Do not support those whose “charity“ comes with conditions

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

Broadview’s “free speech” curfew starts soon, at 6pm.

Apropos of nothing, just been reminded of this and now it hurts to breathe. You're welcome.
#StarTrek #TNG #STTNG #Science

Six panels, in the first a shuttlecraft from Star Trek Next generation is *awfully close* to a star of some kind. Let's call it an F-type, it'll either get the Trekkers nodding in approval or absolutely enraged. But then what doesn't.

Second panel, Beverley Crusher is at the controls of the shuttle, saying "Computer, notify me if external temperature gets too hot"

Third panel, computer text goes " *BEEP BEEP* PLEASE DEFINE "HOT" "

Fourth panel, Beverley Crusher responds "Let's say, 1.9 million Kelvins."

Fifth panel, titled Later: Picard is stood at his replicator, saying "Tea. Earl Grey. Hot."
The computer responds, as it always does, "*BEEP BEEP*"

Sixth panel, SCREENSHOT FROM TERMINATOR TWO OF PEOPLE BLOWN AWAY BY NUCLEAR BLAST. IT'S JUST A SKELETON AND FLAMES, UNBELIEVABLE HEAT, BURNING, INCANDESCENCE, EVERYTHING IS YELLOW AND ORANGE AND BURNING AND PICARD'S FAVOURITE MUG IS NOW PLASMA. BUT THAT'S PROBABLY NOT ON HIS MIND RIGHT NOW, AS HIS BRAIN IS NOW AEROSOL FORM, AT BEST.
It's all a bit toasty, basically.

ITT: people please don't do this and engage with the matter at hand, thanks. Inability to look beyond the surface level because you think it's just about what's attractive is why we are in this mess

The Metal Cardbot line is being brought to the U.S. later this year starting with 4 different size classes and 6 figures. While they're not as articulated as Transformers they're actually pretty fairly better priced with Voyager sized toys being priced sold at a... 1/2

just thinking about how when one of my friends was about to be homeless the Salvation Army basically told him to fuck off because he wasn't in enough trouble to need their help yet. few charities hate the vulnerable more than Salvation Army

If they do them like the season 2 card animals, you'll be able to get just the bugs. So you don't have to buy the season 1 guys again

Paraphrasing something I think I remember @shaunvids.bsky.social saying: "They once made an identity of their hobby, but aren't enjoying it like they used to, so they want to believe it's because somebody's making their hobby worse, not because they themselves changed."

That's what really bothers me, those fashy youtubers do such a disservice to their audiences, and it works because in keeping them angry and feeding them new nontroversies with their outrage content mills, they're keeping them engaged. But it's doing something lamentable to them in the process.
