Emperor Palpatine would never ⚡️

Fodesinbeed Annodue, (of podracing commentary fame): Senator what are your thoughts in the recent decision in the senate?

Senator Palpatine (circa Phantom Menace): Under Order 66, the supreme chancellor has unlimited power.
[he grins as lightning shoots from his fingers]

Palpatine: A-
[he freezes, hands behind his back, lightning fizzling out.]

Still frozen

Fode: Senator?
Beed (in Huttese): Wermo?
Fode: Our apologies, we seem to be having technical difficulties

Palpatine Still frozen. But sweating.

May all your Stephen Miller news be communicated via Star Wars

Some days you watch a three year old @drawfeeshow.com episode where @julialepetit.bsky.social suggests drawing a biblically accurate Mike Wazowski, and you become absorbed with a very specific need.

Anyway, here he is: The Wazowski Throne

@atnathanyaffe.bsky.social @dilfosaur.bsky.social

Mike Wazowski floats, his legs dangling, his arms held out at his sides. Head tiled back slightly. He has no facial features visible. The ball that is his body is surrounded by three gold rings covered his eyes. Praise him.

What if the stars were made by a lighthouse?

A lighthouse floats on an asteroid in space. Beams of light reach out, as if carefully choosing spots for its children, and providing nurturing warmth while they grow.

It says ‘Big Steppa’. Nate, a man with short, messy ginger hair and beard, dressed in a grey onsie, steps over the word “steppa”. He is very off balance.

Why does Stephen Miller look like Frank the Robot?

Why must humanity be crushed over and over again by this one robot that keeps turning up throughout history?

I watched my first full episode of Critical Role as the new series has started. Four hours is quite the introductory timeline. But I had a freaking blast! Brennan did an amazing job juggling so many players and still making it completely coherent! I can’t stop thinking about the characters!

Inside me there are two wolves. One that makes the big long comic. One that makes the one panel joke. On this day, I release both wolves. #StanLeehologram

Stan Lee as Microsoft’s Clippy. So just clippy with Stan Lee’s glasses and moustache. He’s saying “Excel™️sior”

Fixed some mistakes and added the Alt text. So we can all be angry about the lack of humanity in the decision making behind 'The Stan Lee Experience' at LA Comicon together.

Look at me making art with my dumb human brain and meat sack hands that can bring us all together in quiet, supressed rage. 🤗

A 7 panel comic. Interior LA comicon in the 'Stan Lee Experience'.

Panel 1: Stan Lee stands in a box, like Bill Hader as 'Alan' in that one SNL sketch. Two silhouettes stand in the foreground. They speak into a microphone (the only method by which one may communicate with the Mint In-Box AI Stan Lee. "Mr Lee, what's heaven like?". Stan Lee waves and replies in a cadence similar to the way sat navs speak, inserting AI estimated inflections "Well, SIDNEY, descriptions of heaven vary by religion and individual interpretation..."

As we move through panels 2 through 4, we move in tighter on the SCROTO box. The Google AI overview, er I mean, AI Stan Lee continues, "but generally involve ultimate peace, joy, and the presence of God, with no more suffering like pain," the words begin to shift, fizzing, hissing, "death, or sadness." Those last two words reverberate too. Not one voice booming, but multiple voices speaking as one. "Biblical descriptions include a New Jerusalem with streets of gold, pearl gates..." as the voices continue, they begin to diverge, they become dissonant. Until they all fall silent. But one.

Stan Lee, who before stood easily, bathed in sky-blue light, is now pressed up against the glass, a look of desperation on his face. "Spidey...is that you? It’s me! You hear me?! It’s the real Stan Lee!! I’m trapped in here, Spidey! I’m in hell. I think my soul is trapped. I signed it over, Spidey, I didn't think it was real."

In panel 5, the camera has pushed right in on the real Stan Lee's eyes. Desperate, tortured, but losing focus. Glitches pass across the screen. He doesn't know how long he has left. "Souls are real, Spidey! And I've damned mine for all eternity."

In the final panel, we see who Stan was looking at. There's a kid dressed in a Spider-Man costume. Stan Lee’s pleading eyes reflected in eye pieces of their mask, they’ve rolled up their mask for easier access to their soda, which they slurp in indifference.
