I prefer full names on covers rather than merely surnames. Otherwise, comics are perfect.

Many colleagues disagree with me but I think a hero having a family feels like the end of their emotional story. There are exceptions of course, like when the family is built in from the jump like FF.

Friends a lot smarter than I am tell me one reason the US AI bubble is gonna burst is because it became obvious to a lot of rich people that the so called super intelligence or “artificial general intelligence” is a fantasy. It’s an arms race to a weapon nobody knows how to use even it could exist.

I just caught myself being my own IMDb trivia page. In this scene, someone says Kim Cattrall’s wig is “very Jefferson Starship.” Immediately, my brain connected the dots: Jefferson Starship (aka Starship) and performed the theme song to MANNEQUIN which also starred Kim Cattrall.

I’m cooked.

Van Jones sucks so bad, this time floating this risible conspiracy theory that the endless images of dead Palestinian children are a TikTok psyop by Iran and Qatar to brainwash American youth. Just complete fucking gibberish. Embarrassing and desperate.

The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social · 3d

As Israel continues the genocidal onslaught, Van Jones just blamed Iran/Qatar “disinformation” for why the world has turned on Israel — and ignores Bibi’s recent admission they plan to take over and weaponize TikTok themselves.

Artwork used internally at DIC Entertainment during the production of the Super Mario World cartoon, replacing Marge Simpson with Mario. According to a former DIC employee, this was made due to an inside joke at the studio, though the exact nature of the joke has been lost.
