It’s so funny/bizarre that there are all these guys who are apparently furious about women liking video games? One of the best things that ever happened to me

Anyway I’m waiting to see John Carpenter right now at Knockdown Center in Queens, a venue that appears to be a repurposed but still pretty run down warehouse. Appropriately spooky!

Independent comics as an industry would barely exist these days without the tireless efforts of Kickstarter's staff behind the scenes. As they advise, keep supporting all the amazing projects you already are, but have their back in the process.

‼️🚨KICKSTARTER WORKERS ARE ON STRIKE🚨‼️

As of 8am this morning, the workers of Kickstarter United/OPEIU Local 153 are on strike.

WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR A BOYCOTT! Creators and allies, please continue using and supporting the platform.

Kickstarter United is on strike!
We are not asking for a boycott! Creators & Allies: Please continue to support & use the platform
swipe for ways to show your solidarity

Why We're Striking
A codified 4-day work week.
We simply want to protect the way we've been working for over 3.5 years. The 4dww has proven benefits, such as increased productivity and improved employee satisfaction. It's part of what makes Kickstarter a special, innovative place to work.
Fair pay for our lowest-paid workers.
We're fighting for livable minimum salaries for roles that are undervalued by the market but crucial to keeping Kickstarter running. We believe none of our workers should struggle to make ends meet.

I can’t find the link to the article I wrote about this, but I’ve been saying for years that @thekylestarks.bsky.social is one of the greatest living cartoonists

Popverse @popversesays.bsky.social · 1d

I love comics.

From the Popverse liveblog of the DC Vertigo panel at NYCC 2025: "Chris Conroy just described Kyle Starks as a 'poet Laureate' of cartooning and comics” and Starks asked if someone could please note that 'Kyle Starks and poet Laureate were said in the same sentence'.”

Seeing a John Carpenter concert tomorrow as a spooky season treat.

Here’s a little something I wrote about @thehorrormaster.bsky.social’s music for @comicsbeat.bsky.social a few years ago that I’m still proud of.

Happy Halloween!🎃

SILBER BULLETS: They Live... for the music of John Carpenter

Greg extolls the virtues of the film scores of horror/sci-fi maestro John Carpenter, as well as his underrated non-cinematic studio albums.

There’s some overlap, but these are movies that were formative and/or say a lot about my sensibilities, not necessarily my absolute favs.

I didn’t expect to be so star struck by Johnny Marr at CBGB Fest yesterday.

I shit on Morrisey for good reason, but hearing Marr play The Smiths reminded me how much those songs mean to me. He’s a one-of-a-kind guitarist, and people sleep on him as a singer too

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.
