Quickly: Kirkman & Mora on Transformers RIGHT AFTER Johnson & Corona is a goddamn cheat code.

I'm a sucker for good conspiracy stories and Imperial is becoming just that

#Comics folks, I need you to pull up to this one.

The world sucks right now, and we have the opportunity to do a little bit of good for a displaced and marginalized member of our community. Please join me in supporting this KS campaign!

www.kickstarter.com/projects/den...

If you're somebody who values supporting marginalized voices in comics, here's your chance to put your money where your values are!

The writer of this RINGO NOM’D INDIE COMIC (and a very dear friend of mine) is a Syrian Refugee who has been through more continuous hardships than I have space to list here; constantly navigating visa applications, unstable living conditions, predatory landlords (limited options as a refugee).

Anas just wants to make comics and live a normal life like what so many of us take for granted. Backing this campaign will help Anas to take the next step toward freedom and autonomy, helping to fund a move to another country with more stable employment options. This is truly one of the most important comics purchases you will ever make.

Middle Eastern and North African comics creators are some of the most underrepresented in the comics industry of the western world. Anas isn’t running a GoFundMe to support this move, and is not asking for charity. Simply, Anas is using their talent for storytelling, along with Dennis’ gorgeous art, to offer you a beautiful experience in the comics medium, that also goes toward funding a better life for Anas.

I’m so proud of Anas, and humbled by their experiences and perseverance. I would like to see Anas’ Dream realized, and I’d love to see this community help to make that happen. Please join me in pledging to the Etheres Kickstarter campaign! (link below).

Ok I definitely hate to do #OneMinuteBadReviews Thursday because I see comic creators this week have stepped up their storytelling game across the board.

Hint: I wasn't ready for Avengers, Imperial Guardians, GL Corps, Transformers, Binary OR DC KO.

Reminds me why I love #NCBD & comics as a whole.

Using AI to keep watching videos of a dead person is frankly sinister. Just reveals a culture obsessed iwth never moving forward or looking ahead, just wallowing in increasingly degraded and unnatural rehashes of its own memories

Zelda Williams urges fans to stop sending AI videos of her father, Robin Williams:

“Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I’ll understand, I don’t and I won’t. If you’re just trying to troll me, I’ve seen way worse, I’ll restrict and move on.”

Ratio ain’t good. Just off top of my head:

Ryder Cup US team: went down in flames

Saquon Barkley: having the worst start to season in his career.

Yankees: well we just saw what happened

There definitely more misses than hits

Last Year. Game 5 vs the Dodgers. On this very field. A worse loss than tonight.

This hurts but y’all were the better team and outdid us in every facet of the game.

That Dodgers World Series? That was Death by a million self stabbings.

FINAL Blue Jays 5 Yankees 2.

Out Hit. Out Pitched. Out Clutched

Congrats to Toronto & Blue Jays Fans on reaching the ALCS. Good Luck the rest of the way.

As for me? I maintain that the Yanks are just cursed to be good to great in the regular season BUT something remains missing.

And as I am going down with my Yanks, the Mercury has erased a 17 pt deficit and are only down 1 vs Vegas with 1:57 left.

Daryll B @daryllbenjamin.bsky.social · 7h

Yep so of course batter comes up and swings at the first pitch. Fly Out. Rally done.

The cruel teasing of baseball.

Wells flies out with the bases loaded. 3 outs left for the Yanks. Blue Jays head to the 9th up 5-1.

EXACTLY. They were the ultimate playa haters. Now compare that to how Drew was treated on his heel turn.

Daryll B @daryllbenjamin.bsky.social · 8h

4-1 Blue Jays. Williams got the 1 strikeout but runner on 1st moves up to 2nd. Single drives in both runners.

Blue Jays getting ALL the fundamentals along with hits with RISP. Basic Baseball KILLING Stat Baseball.

That’s also on WWE. The New Day heel turn was great. They turned into great trolls & the company gave they NO SHINE. I mean look at these fits…

DAMMIT JAZZ!!! Ah well. Thx Cam! Williams coming in at 1st/3rd 1 out in the 7th. Blue Jays up 2-1.

Seriously. Ryan McMahon has earned every bit of my praise this postseason. In a year where every Cashman move has been scrutinize? He is the shining positive.

I rather go down with Cam battling than with a gassed bullpen.

But once again, The Yanks are losing to a team that resembles the offensive ideals of their late 90's "dynasty" more than they do.

Blue Jays 2 Yankees 1 Mid 6th

It weird to some people but in my mind, this Cam Schittler performance tonight so far is as impressive to me as the Red Sox one.

He isn't fooling the Blue Jays at all BUT he isn't given them any ground either. Bro HAS to be dealing. Now can the Yanks get him run support?
