Hellsing would be a good one, and you'd get to draw nazis getting torn to shreds, which is always fun

I can't remember who said it, but someone once asked the question "why do method actors never 'get into character' when they're playing someone nice?"

Not saying it's an excuse to be a creep and a shitbag, but it seems to be a very common occurrence.

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back

I genuinely wonder if he has something on producers and directors. Wouldn't be surprised if he did.

No, I'm pretty sure in Omen III, Damien grew up to be an expert in tax law and the first instance of his rise to power was when he closed tax loopholes.

Wait, he was the head of whatnow?

A lot of people ask Chester if they if he is available for modelling, and his answer is always the same:

"Who are you and why are you talking to me?"

Blessed are the frogs, for they keep making authoritarians look incredibly stupid

Three persons in inflatable frog costumes. One of them is holding a nicely painted sign with two little cartoon frogs holding hands, below the text "FROGS TOGETHER STRONG"

Always worth bearing in mind that Dadaism was formed as a response to WWI and the crushing weight of authoritarianism and nationalism, and that fascists hate it because it makes them look unfathomably stupid.

Remember: when the going gets tough, the tough get *weird*.

Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest.

There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day.

What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.

It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.

Never would have guessed that the murderous driver on the Carmageddon cover comes from this old Clive Barker comic. I think it's also my first comic book reference that isn't a Marvel one. @hg101.bsky.social told me about this one. samderboo.com/tracing.php?... #TracingTheInfluence

Part of me is just itching to say how the guy in the middle looks like Enoch Powell crossed with Chewbacca

Does that make me a bad person

Disappointed that the first words in the game aren't "Stephen King" again though, that was so on-the-nose, it went from atrocious to hilarious
