I don't know where the 200+ followers came from, but hello.

I'm Lan, a professional writer where you can find me at GameSpot and writing comics--with an upcoming OGN from @madcavestudios.bsky.social that I can't wait to show you.

You can see my work at BOOM!, Image, and Healocked, to name a few.

Some people on here hear “Anti-Zionism is not antisemitism” and conclude, “All antisemitism is actually anti-Zionism.”

Maladroithe @maladroithe.bsky.social · 8h

Man it really sucks that people heard “Jews and Israelis aren’t synonymous” and interpreted that to mean “you can be as antisemitic as you want if you just say Israeli instead of Jewish”

Is it a bird? Is it a blimp? Is it a PT Cruiser levitating in the air? No, it's SUPERHAUSEN!

Can one figure salvage the reputation of a wrongly maligned movie, nearly 40 years after its release? Do not doubt Pythona's prowess. The 172nd #GIJOE Classified figure feels, tonally and thematically, like the first figure in a bold new era for the series.

Brett has been designing some seriously fun Joe fan merch with old card art. I had suggested Slice n Dice since he already had one of them, but you gotta keep them together.

Check out his stuff!

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

This might be the worst ICE video yet, because it’s literally random dudes hanging around, and then a bunch of heavily armed thugs running them down completely out of nowhere, because they’re brown. It’s a nightmare that would have seemed excessive in Jim Crow. Everyone in America should see this.

Alejandra Caraballo @esqueer.net · 4d

ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.

Brett has been talking about this figure for *months*. Check out our hands-on look tomorrow.

Brett White @brettwhite.bsky.social · 5d

PYTHONA! Worth the wait. Just a killer figure, from the top of her topknot to the tip of her cape. Every accessory a keeper. Damn close to perfect. Review on @popheist.com tomorrow, ahead of her big NYCC debut.
