"LET HIM SPEAK!"

9" x 12" ink and watercolor on watercolor paper.

Somewhere, in the Deep reaches of space, an assembly has gathered on a space station. During a heated discussion on the design and capabilities of mecha, Isamu Kurogane (Lance) stands tall and dares to speak the truth. "Every Gundam is worse than Voltron because his hands are lion mouths!!!" he declares without shame. His bravado has impressed the Red Comet, Char Aznable, while confusing and insulting Amuro Ray. The delaration is heard to mixed reactions by many other mecha pilots (not by Shinji Ikari, he is doing his best to ignore him).

That’s the thing about Larkin. His mere existence is deeply erotic.

I watch Star Trek for the deeply cerebral storytelling…

Edward Larkin in the hallway of the USS Cabot on an episode of Star Trek: Short Treks. he has his hands on his hips, wearing a maroon long sleeve pajama top, and tighty whitey underpants, and black socks.

The OG slickback is aboard the Enterprise. He says all he wants is to go home but when he starts wanting a stopover in Bone Town with Rand tensions ramp up and faces come off! Can Kirk stop the red alert Charlie's blue balls are causing? Listen to our review of "Charlie X" at gagh.biz/greatesttrek

Why do fish get to have all the fun? I want MY tongue to be eaten and replaced by a parasitic isopod.

Captain Kirk wearing a blue and olive drab jumpsuit stands in a cave holding a three foot long rock shaped like a giant lumpy penis. A huge bald man in a padded robe searches for him in the background.

The most important human story in the entertainment industry right now is the severe downturn in film and TV production in LA and how it's affecting middle-class crew workers. I spoke to dozens of them for this story about the depressed Hollywood economy. www.wsj.com/business/med...

L.A.’s Entertainment Economy Is Looking Like a Disaster Movie

Work is evaporating, businesses are closing, longtime residents are leaving, and Los Angeles’s creative middle class is hanging on by a thread.

My boy @jessethorn.bsky.social just gave a speech at the @eqca.bsky.social awards and brought the house down. He’s such a fierce advocate for the rights of his trans kids, and we’re all lucky to share a planet with him.
