I have been heckled off websites for saying this, I maintain that allowing South Park to continue has caused lasting cultural harm. It’s not that it said we shouldn’t care, it’s that it encouraged people to discourage those who do.

Crystal+TMNT=The end of my 30 year streak not buying Magic.

It’s official! I can talk about it!

I’ve spent the last 2+ years leading the narrative for the Magic: the Gathering Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set!

I’m excited to see all of this release! TMNT is such a weird, wild franchise that meshes weirdly well with Magic

“Cersei understands the consequences of her absence and she is absent anyway, which means she does not intend to suffer those consequences.” I think of this line every day now.

The conservative political machine runs on human sacrifice and the promise it will turn off when no longer needed. A system enforced by violence and fear cannot be spun down. The media and political elite know this, they're cowards hoping the machine breaks before they're fed to it.

My newest painting by @mmschill.bsky.social has arrived and looks amazing!

Painting of a pink haired woman in a kimono standing in front of a kitsune.

Also, if folks are ok with it, the mods for this game introduce some absolutely bonkers vehicles that can get you over any block.

My paleontologist wife believes this is fox, do you have another angle from the top of the skull and something for scale?

Howard, thank you so much for the review!

Gen Con: I acquired a starter set of "Zynvaded," a tabletop miniatures game from "We Have Issues! Publishing."

The story: alien probe crash-lands on Earth, and sends back data. The aliens think we look like easy picking, but uh-oh, the probe crashed in a game store. We're actually taller than that.

Really says something for the state of journalism in America when a John Cena Idris Elba action comedy articulates the threat of jingoistic white supremacy in America better than the news.
