I wrote 3,000 words about Riverdale. Yes, this picture and quote are weird. I did that on purpose so you'd be forced to click the link and find out why I did this to you.

The most underrated running gag in Malcolm in the Middle is that these two are constantly having mind-blowing sex.

I’ve been a huge fan of “Hajime No Ippo” ever since my friend @kennyruiz.bsky.social introduced me to it a few years ago, when I started boxing.

George Morikawa’s work is one of those shonen sports series about self-improvement, as addictive as it is intense.
At the risk of being conspiratorial, I think you're seeing so many people defend the nazi tattoo guy so hard because Blackwater would very much like one of their guys in Congress occupying "the left" and sent out some orders to help him out.

There are a couple ticket pages still up and it looks like tickets started around $30-$50. $100-$250 might be normal for super big star musicians but just checking in at a couple venues it seems like around $30 is where the cheapest symphony orchestra concerts start and premium seats top out < $200

In 2001, the prospective cereal lineup was launched. See below for the 8 different options. Which one sounds best to you?
It's never been cheaper or easier to make a game as long as you have a reasonable scope and management skills.
It really annoys me any time someone says "Game development is more expensive these days!" as a truism. It's not. Corporations don't *have* to spend a billion dollars making ultra photorealistic 300 hour games with dynamic horse testicles made more expensive by three years of inefficient crunch.

IT IS HALLOWEEN MONTH. A GREAT time to read my freaky psychedelic folk horror comic "BE KIND, MY NEIGHBOR".
Peep this animated trailer my pals and I made for it set to none other than KING GIZZARD AND THE LIZARD WIZARD!
Cartoon Network had a whole-ass generational baton pass for new shows every five years or so. But because of Warner/HBO/Discovery nonsense, it's been basically nothing new since 2020. Most of what little is in the works is 2010s nostalgia. So disappointing.
People who say games should cost more because inflation be like

"The price of a 31in TV needs to be raised to $1,211.08. A consumer desktop computer setup should cost $4,367.77.."
Very smart people have told me that if we raise the price of games to $100 then they'll stop doing microtransactions and won't do layoffs anymore.
Oops did the math wrong while eating a taco. $60 to $100 would be a 66.67% price hike. Even worse.
And conveniently they only want to compare to game prices from 30 years ago and not 5 years ago. Wouldn't want to admit that a 33% price increase (or 40% if they want to hit $100) in 5 years is absurd.
Actually I've had this happen even if I go directly to the website and apply.

"Thank you for completing your application!"

*three days later*

"Haha you didn't think I was serious, did you? Get your ass back here you're not done yet."
My latest job search pet peeve is when a job lets you do Easy Apply on Indeed but then they'll send you an email three days later telling you that was a prank and you need to go to their website to fill out the real application.

In 2012 I made this concept album about a zombie apocalypse based on my family, friends and places I frequented in real life. I have had a lot of ideas over the years to extend the universe of the album (a comic book, short stories collection, guest EPs). Maybe one day. Pay what you want!🧟‍♂️

He's searching for Lincoln's gold.
