My Mom died today, part of me did too. She saved my life twice. She was a social worker, helped people who had the worst things you can imagine happen to them. Worked with families in downtown Richmond and then DC. She spent her life in service to others, was the center of our whole extended family

Lots of good ones (Gremlins 2, the Blob) but it’s hard to beat this Cape Fear (1991) scene

Xenovember day 22! This one's a cool little oddity. Rare Italian cover for Aliens: Defiance that glows in the dark, using one of the very first drawings I did when I started mucking around with my first Cintiq...

I don't wanna make a broad generalization but you have to admit it's at least *interesting* that everyone who likes Elon Musk is the biggest loser you've ever met.

So, the colorblind prey can't see orange (see image left/right below for trichromatic/dichromatic views), but humans can... which is also why we make high-vis hunting gear orange: the deer see it as dark green.

But why not just make dark-green fur? It's much harder than it sounds!

ON the left is a dichromatic view of a tiger, on the right is the trichromatic.

doing his classic Casual Dinner chunk

“My favorite meat is hot dog, by the way. That is my favorite meat,” he told a gathering of supporters as they joined him recently for a casual dinner organized by his campaign. “My second favorite meat is hamburger. And, everyone says, oh, don’t you prefer steak? It’s like, I know steaks are great, but I like hot dog best, and I like hamburger next best.”

HUMOR303.BMF

A cartoon of a man with receding hair sitting casually in a green chair, gesturing animatedly with one hand, a lit cigarette in the other. This is how Dr. Slife, D.D.S., imagines himself to be under pressure. Cool. Smart. In Control. Any other picture of Slife—say, forced to the ground face first in a gloomy forest, gagging on the rich loamy smell of duff, while a fishbelly white hand reaches around to explore his mouth with long skeletal fingers, finding his second bicuspid and extracting it with one terrifyingly fierce yank—such a picture would not fit with Slife’s self-image. And yet.

We are very sorry to hear of the passing of Curtis Webster who played the incredibly patient, just, and fair Judge Szymczyk in The Trial of Tim Heidecker.

@astridoverthere.bsky.social

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.
