A great list, mainly because a top 10 SF movies of the 70s list is going to do double duty as best ever SF movie list and have a shot at being a decent “best movies of the 70s” list.

Watching this excellence again, Fraction and Lieber discuss making the magic happen with Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen. The hidden powerhouse here is @matthewbogart.bsky.social, who is phenomenal at editing and producing this piece.

My secret is out—I’m a character in an MMOG! I’ve never played one before, and I’m in love with #SpiritCrossing by @spryfox.bsky.social. I’d love to see some IRL friends in this game. It has drop-dead gorgeous art, great writing, questing & building galore, & fun community. 💖 Come explore with us!

A screenshot from the game "Spirit Crossing" by the studio "Spry Fox" under "Netflix Games." The screenshot shows two players standing side by side as they cast fishing poles into the clouds. Both players have short, bright pink hair and the player to the right is wearing a fox backpack. A screenshot from the game "Spirit Crossing" by the studio "Spry Fox" under "Netflix Games." A player in the foreground is standing on a stage lit by string lights in a dim cafe environment. The ambience is warm and cozy with multiple kinds of lights as well as tables & chairs. The foreground player is playing music in front of a microphone while a stranger sits watching them from a table.

This is WILD.

In case you can't make it out, Musk's kid is saying "You're not the president and you need to go away."

I WONDER WHERE HE COULD HAVE GOTTEN THAT IDEA FROM.

The Trump administration is scrubbing the CDC’s website of documents on reproductive rights issues, sexual health, intimate partner violence, and more.

I'm trying to save them.

You can find the deleted docs at CDCGuidelines.com - I'll be adding more over the weekend.

That time myself and @bigredhair.bsky.social played Spock’s parents in the theatrical production, TREK IN THE PARK.
CBS did a piece about it, which is still on YouTube. Check it out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KI5...

It's time to start stockpiling gifts for the upcoming holidays! Wanna get your sweetie something sexy but don't know where to start? DON'T WORRY, WE GOT YOU. Renowned feminist sex toy shop Early to Bed has helped us compile a list of this year's best sex toys.
www.ohjoysextoy.com/best-of-24-w...
"This cartoony comic is colored with pinks, teals, black, and white. All the characters and objects exist against a white or teal background. Erika and Matt are the founders of Oh Joy Sex Toy so they open and close this comic. They are both white, cisgender, and in their late 30s/early 40s. ""Honk!"" Matt honks through a little party trumpet, addressing the reader. ""another year is just around the corner!"" ""Dang!"" Adds Erika with a jaunty gesture. ""That means it's time for a brand new-"" Title: Best Sex Toys ...of the year. With Early to Bed (.com, 5138 N. Clark St., Chicago, IL) ""Erika and I haven't been reviewing toys for a while now-"" Begins Matt. ""Bein' in yer 40s is no joke!"" Erika interjects. Undeterred, Matt continues, ""-so it's with a huge amount of thanks that the Early to Bed team were game to help us out."" A selection of different people are depicted next to their names. Regina (they/she) A feminine person with elegantly coifed long black hair and a light pink skin tone. Jack (he/him) A middle-age masculine person with a white skin tone, glasses, and beard shadow. Ester (she/they) A feminine person with shoulder-length light pink hair, white skin tone, and a few moles on her face. Searah (she/her) The owner and founder of Early to Bed, Searah has shoulder-length pink hair pulled into low pigtails and a white skin tone. Toni (They/them) An androgynous person with a small puff of tight curly black hair, glasses, piercings in their nose and ear lobes, and a purple-y skin tone. Narration: Together we've collected a bunch of neato toys for you to peruse! All tried-and-trues!"

We'll go through the steps of developing a comics idea, writing a script, working through thumbnail drafts, and drawing the final version, with an emphasis on story, structure, and building skills to eliminate road blocks in the cartooning process. Taught by Kane Lynch! • Tuesdays, 6pm-8pm PST (9-11pm EST) • October 15th - December 3rd • Sliding scale cost • All online

Hi. We’re a group of comic book writers & artists who are furious about Project 2025, The Heritage Foundation’s plan to consolidate power under authoritarian rule. So we made a bunch of comics to explain their agenda and move you to vote against it. stopproject2025comic.org
Stop Project 2025 Comic
Trump's Project 2025 is a detailed plan to shut you up, and shut you out. Don’t let it do either. Read on, then vote.
