iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I had no idea. I didn’t read that title back in the day — except for crossover tie-ins and the like. That weird area between the end of Giffen and the start of Morrison, with all those weird lineups.

Guy Gardner was a solo hero with the jacket and yellow ring when I first started reading, so it’s hard to shake that early imprint of him. When I hear that’s treated as a forgotten footnote, I understand it academically and creatively, but it still wounds me in some silly way.

This reminds me of something I meant to ask you; I’ve always wondered what happened to Guy Gardner and Sinestro’s yellow ring from Qward. And was that old ring retconned to a Yellow Lantern ring or have those always been two separate things?

No, I meant literally dressing up as a dinosaur with a giant dinosaur head that has the DNA code painted on it in such a way as to mimic the reflective effect from the film.

Would make a brilliant Halloween costume.

I loooove Civil Defense. The kind of bottle episode that virtually no television series — including Star Trek — would do now.

Carson’s posture is part and parcel of the troubling and very mainstream idea within American Republican politics, which is questioning and denigrating the very notion of the postwar order — aka the Free World itself. For various reasons, they don’t like it.

Carson declares again and again, “We KNOW the war wasn’t worth fighting in the first place,” as though that’s stipulated and conventional wisdom. Madness. He’s arguing that Britain would be more British under a German dictatorship than it is now.

I took the bait and watched the whole conversation and it’s so fucking stupid. I’m forced to admit Rees-Mogg conducts himself extremely well against insane questions and endless interruptions. “I’m very surprised you’re verging on defending Hitler.”

Like how dark and twisted do you have to be to make Jacob Rees-Mogg look like a patriot? Bloody hell.

I try not to give this guy any oxygen but WHAT THE FUCK is he talking about?

“No more books about people from red states traveling in the direction of blue states.”

“We hope this sets an example for other rich people that money should always come first.”

Just learned I can call my cat to me from another room by thumping my fist rhythmically on any surface, like summoning Shai-Hulud.

The flat one looks like the old Miramax logo with a TV spray painted on it.

Graphic designers: why did they smush the MTV logo?

This just popped into my head and I burst out laughing. Still remember when they cut to this; one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.

From Arrested Development, when they find George in a foxhole exactly like Saddam Hussein was

It’s the most grotesque and sadistic humiliation ritual I’ve ever seen.

I’ve definitely got mine in a box in a storage unit somewhere.

Oh I remember this toy. This is the one you had to buy if you wanted a “normal” Batman.

Today, Hegseth announced: - F.O.R.T.R.E.S.S. America; basically FALLOUT. - Autonomous Warfare Command aka Autowarcom; basically SKYNET. - Project Meridian; basically WEILAND-YUTANI.

does stockholm syndrome mean something very different in sweden?

I was working in a CD store when all of these came out. A dark time. People came in asking to buy the song they heard on the radio but whose name they couldn’t remember, and it was always always always Nickelback.

This is one of the most hideously embarrassing things I’ve ever seen.

That could be it. I thought I remembered someone telling me it was a mafia scam that became enshrined into policy.

Can Mamdani do something about the scaffolding cartel or is that just insurmountable?

Went to see Robyn on the Sexistential Tour here in LA this week. Beautiful, brilliant show. Highly recommend going if you’re even a casual fan.

Ooooh yeah. I think you’re right. His Lex Luthor era.

I hate this guy more than Bush, in a way. Bush is a dimwitted fool with a messiah complex. But Blair is an intelligent man who knowingly debased himself to that dimwitted fool with a messiah complex. With no hope of recovering his reputation, I guess he’s gone mask-off evil.
