This arrived yesterday, and I started watching it, so as a fun project, I thought it'd be interesting to do a small review of each episode as I watch them in order, since I've never seen all of them, and never in order!

I'll update this thread as I go.

Hopefully not a 5 year mission! #StarTrek

Dr. King pointed out that peace is not just the absence of tension but also "the presence of justice". He called the kind of peace where Black people “accept [their] place, accept exploitation, and injustice” obnoxious peace. This concept can be applied broadly and is especially relevant today. /2

This book remains great!
Some favorite panels with Kara and the girls from Supergirl #9, written by the wonderful @mooncalfe1.bsky.social — big thanks to Sophie and Brittany (our editor) for having me. Biggest thanks to Stacey Lee for the assist on inks and colors!

Watching VINEGAR SYNDROME's 4K of TANK GIRL (1995), directed by Rachel Talalay, and starring the GREAT Lori Petty.

As is typical of VS, the transfer is remarkable...the film looks incredible! Academy Award winning production designer Catherine Hardwicke's sets are LUSH and colorful.

What an absolutely beautiful animated film. Currently wiping the tears from my skull. Please give this a watch and support the amazing work by @rambustory.bsky.social and her team!

One of the neat things about FATE/STAY and FATE/STRANGE FAKE in particular is the idea that Heroic Spirits are not the actual people but our PERCEPTION of their legend.

So in FAKE, Jack the Ripper is summoned, but has no physical form or identity because no one knows who Jack the Ripper is.

One of the things I love about FATE/STAY is that the fights are so fucking INSANE that even DBZ fights look like basic bitch slapfights. @___@

Darth Maul will always be DOPE to me.
I’m planning a Whatnot stream for tomorrow. Haven’t done one in a while, hope you can join. Plan is to have sketch card and MTG Artist Proof sketches, blank comic cover sketches, and more for sale. Probably even some original comic pages.

FATE/STRANGE FAKE is finally coming out consistently!

It's sort of hard to explain the appeal of the FATE/STAY series to people that don't watch a lot of anime, because it's PEAK anime in terms of aesthetic and sheer narrative DENSITY. ^__^;;;

All the dialogue is as EXTRA as the action. It's GREAT

That is a HELL of a title.
Finally caught up on logging a bunch of stuff on GoodReads... so, what are the best books I read in 2025?

Let's do a time killing thread!

In the order that I read them... these aren't all the books... just the ones I really liked...

The killer of Renee Good proudly RECORDED THE KILLING. Body cams won't stop this. And "training" just gives ICE more money to train its agents to keep doing what they're doing.

Abolish ICE. Defund it entirely.

THREAD. Having just written a book about this and talked to a LOT of Democrats, I can assure you that neither Cory Booker nor the policing industry he’s advertising think that more money for ICE “training” and tech would address any problem that any person of good will has with what ICE is doing.

I hadn't really planned on going out today, but I'm glad I did, because I ended up finding the ARROW Limited Edition blu-ray of RE-ANIMATOR (1985) in the wild!

This is long out of print, and I got it for a very reasonable price. It's got some solid swag...including the FULL comic adaptation! :D

Another post of mine broke containment, but I'm not going to engage with it, because I don't have answers for people.

BUT...the original post was about Art VS Artist and many people are like, "the art matters, the artist doesn't."

And that's just WRONG.

That's why it's HARD to define where...

The lead up to fascism creates great art — punk and hip hop, coded horror movies, prophetic novels and thrilling plays. Fascism itself, once in power, only produces patriotic kitsch.
I wonder if there is any connection between the quality of horror movies and the level of American fascism?

I just finished my meeting with my financial advisor, and it's again weird to be in this quantum state of having money/assets, but being paycheck-to-paycheck in my daily life. ^__^;;;

The plan is to have enough in my TFSA for next year that I can pay off my mortgage 2 years early, and then...
