Sad to hear about the passing of the Michelangelo of Movie posters, RENATO CASARO. The Man painted so many iconic posters, specially in the 70s/80s: CONAN, TERMINATOR, DUNE, TOTAL RECALL, DANCE WITH THE WOLVES, BLOW OUT, FLASH GORDON, RAMBO, NEVER-ENDING STORY, and the list goes on and on. 1/2

I'm sure there's a completely sound engineering reason why electric vehicles don't have solar panels on the roof...right?

I found a Carvel today in Freeport, NY and it was everything I remember from my childhood — hollow, sticky, and delicious. (They ain’t got Carvels in LA.)

To which I add this wonderful Bruce Sterling passage, which for many years I kept beside my keyboard.

Forget trying to pass for normal. Follow your geekdom. Embrace nerditude. In the immortal words of Lafcadio Hearn, a geek of incredible obscurity whose work is still in print after a hundred years, “Woo the muse of the odd.” You may be a geek. You may have geek written all over you. You should aim to be one geek they’ll never forget.

Don’t aim to be civilized. Don’t hope that straight people will keep you on as some sort of pet. To hell with them. You should fully realize what society has made of you and take a terrible revenge.

Get weird. Get way weird. Get dangerously weird. Get sophisticatedly, thoroughly weird, and don’t do it halfway. Put every ounce of horsepower you have behind it. Don’t become a well-rounded person. Well-rounded people are smooth and dull. Become a thoroughly spiky person. Grow spikes from every angle. Stick in their throats like a pufferfish.

I refuse to believe we are going to relitigate slavery. SLAVERY. It’s too much.

Looks like my @newyorkcomiccon.bsky.social attendance is solidifying. At least one panel, I'll see if I can roll a signing somewhere. But if anyone else is looking for a stray panelist, I'll be there on Thursday and Friday...

You do you, but that is an astonishingly bad read of Wakanda. White people are, like, super-low on the list of things Wakanda cares about. Especially in this show.

Among the greatest promotional photos of all time are these for the 1990 television movie of IT, where it looks like a prestige legal drama about a firm of hot young lawyers and one associate who likes to dress up like a clown.
