Ami Thompson made this original gouache painting for the @gallerynucleus.bsky.social KPDH exhibition on Oct 18. The show will include new tribute art by artists who worked on the film! #kpopdemonhunters #rujinu

Painting of Rumi and Jinu from the KPop Demon Hunters film sitting side by side, Rumi drinking a strawberry flavoured drink and Jinu with a crepe in one hand and the other around Rumi’s shoulder. They both have their iridescent demon patterns exposed. On the top left is “K-POP DEMON HUNTERS”

This little text game I made last year is sort of my love letter to The Outer Worlds, Forbidden Planet, Mass Effect, Philip K. Dick, First Man, and so on. But also an exploration of grief:

Watching so many people in high places go through the motions of polling and median-voter whispering can make you feel like you're in Bodysnatchers. It's worth a reminder that the typical experience of tyranny is...basically normal life. Which means we have to will ourselves to fight harder.

The Median Experience Of Tyranny

If the politics of tyranny were self-discrediting, we wouldn't need mantras like "never again."

The grand unified “Everyone is Twelve” theory is a legit contribution to contemporary thought and critique. We really are ruled by evil adult children!

this fits with a key feeling of contemporary conservative thought being mad at luke skywalker making a mistake; "star wars" being "you're twelve years old and entering the big world" and so they can't accept the continuation of that line of thought.

A great read! I’d only read the first three issues, so this felt fairly new and unspoiled. Ross’s lines are flawless; Soule’s ideas are fun and full of surprises. The perfect premise for an ongoing series, and it’s nice how much it respects the big-picture state of the galaxy and of the Skywalkers.

My boy finally showed up

Legacy of Vader: The Reign of Kylo Ren comic paperback by Soule, Ross, Raffaele, and Woodard. He's got his mask on, red saber in hand, with flames licking at his cape and Vader's mask looming behind him.

I watched the first season of Bridgerton, but nothing after that. @wtfiction.bsky.social is going to motivate me to catch up on the series because I love them. 💕

Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?

I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.
