How long is it until the US starts bombing Venezuela? Feels like soon, right?

I'm toying with the idea of doing a "What's Up Tigrelily" treatment on V for Vendetta. I haven't see anything like that since The Funisher if anyone remembers that gem. Webcomics used to be such a trip. Feels harder to find the unique ones today with corporate bullshit in the mix.

I'm going to recommend strongly a movie called Let's Start A Cult. It's a very smart, charming movie you don't see coming.

Don't put rules on art?

Social media doesn't work for self-promotion. It may have done once, but it doesn't anymore. Invest in a newsletter and a functional website. No one on social media is interested in our bullshit.

Jesus Christ I'm a disappointment.

I need to finally make the list of artists I want to make comics with and approach one or two of them instead of eating can after can of artist food until my scripts smell like artist food.

Is Janna going?

I can always clock an American when they say 'Montreal.'

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

At this point, I kinda block anyone I don't already know. Everyone else is made up.

What's the German word for the small relief you feel when you postpone plans to meet with someone you actually wanted to meet with?

Thank you! Divine Comedy is a good answer. Anything in public domain, so.

I want to know your favourite "Classic" novel, not out of vague curiosity but specifically the people who follow me here, it's information that's relevant to me right now.

This one was just regretel.

Not dying seems like a lot of work.

Smash the state, Chris.

Planned communities are a scourge.

I think it's good to know that the most effective thing you can do in terms of voicing your dissent to elected officials is deliver a handwritten letter to your representative's office. They notice when people start showing up at their door.

General Grievous & Butthead @widemouthgibson.bsky.social · 12d

I mean, *I* didn't but the other kids did.

General Grievous & Butthead @widemouthgibson.bsky.social · 12d

Eesh. Let's see if we can get you an appointment in Canada if you need it.

I got a bunch of laser-eyes last year and was less weird than I anticipated. It turned everything purple for a few minutes after, which was kinda nifty. I'd do it again. I got mine in Canada so I have no idea how much it'd cost in the US, but without medicare it was a couple hundred a visit?

Will today be a good day?

It's a good thing they mentioned twice that he was 101. I had forgotten from the previous sentence.

Folks, we've got to stop repeating fascist talking points while thinking we're being coy or clever, we're just repeating their message without context.

Please don't forget, when you're shitposting, you're talking about and raising awareness for their issues and not yours.
