Haven’t seen all of his movies, but I’ve seen enough to know that this is how he wants to show the world, and I’m old enough now to be firmly in the realm of Mr. Horse when it comes to that kind of shit.

Which causes everything to look like dogshit on those pages. Here’s a side by side comparison of Perry from two different pages, one clear and one not. It actually is easier to read on my phone screen. There’s no world where a $5 comic should be this inconsistent on quality.

About 1/5 of Bizarro Year None is printed slightly off, and while this kind of error is FINE with most books, it makes Pitarra’s intentionally cluttered and busy line work look like absolute shit. I thought my eyes were getting worse, but there’s evidence in the word balloons and panel borders.

Really glad my @drawfeeshow.com Lizard Calm hat came in, as I’ve needed a little treat. Didn’t realize it says “hog wild” on the back, but I’m here for it anyway.

Honestly seeing Omanyte and Omastar and the dueling coelacanths (below) really made it feel real in a good way. Also seeing the Pokémon art of real dinosaurs and of the museum researchers was really cool.

Wondering why it’s legal for a county in Illinois to send me a ticket in the mail that they’re paying folks in Arizona and Washington state to manage. Like, what the fuck is this @govpritzker.illinois.gov ? If they can’t be bothered to manage the system, why the fuck do they get the money?

Nearing 8 years of living with my cat, who has never really had an interest in laps until maybe 6 months ago when he started claiming the fiancé’s lap space. Like, Amos will circle him and walk around and over him until his lap is available.

I wanna be clear, also about the other locations, I just live in Illinois and to act like we have laws similar to Ohio or even Indiana is fucking absurd. I don’t have the energy to alt text these 4 maps of data from their report, short version is there are very obvious regional outliers/safehavens

I’m still playing even though there are definitely too many feelings right now, and what the fuck is up with Peter’s bookcase having 3 or more copies of a bunch of different books. Sony just lazy?

Decided I should finish Miles Morales since Spider-Man 2 is on sale for like $30 and it feels cruel to make me choose between a cool suit and one that features spider-cat.

Also caused me to swing by a game store and pick up the Call of Cthulhu starter set because it’s just $30, as the second I learned about the sanity mechanic, I was sold.

Who is this for? What comic shop isn’t recommending the collected editions that cost less for the consumer? Everything about this stinks to me. It would be one thing if we were still in the Vol 1 era for these things, but we’re halfway into vol 3 of Absolute Batman.

Been thinking a lot about these guys and the impact they had on my education and why I largely hate Bill Nye. Something about both of these shows that felt sincere in a way that Nye… wasn’t. I used to wake myself up early to watch both of these shows, Beakman on Saturdays even.

And yes, I’ve looked up the definition of “scam,” and it will be added to the list of reasons I hate this fucking language. Noun is fraudulent OR deceptive act, verb is defraud AND deceive. I stand by it being a weird word choice when there’s no clear avenue for personal gain by the “scammer”

From Merriam Webster:
scam
1 of 2
noun
: a fraudulent or deceptive act or operation
an insurance scam

scam
2 of 2
verb
1
: to deceive and defraud (someone)

I fucking love this movie. So much. The most BORING ASS TAKE anyone ever has is taking “adult Owen watches The Pink Opaque on streaming and it’s bad” at face value. I want to be clear, you don’t need a canonical, definitive answer to know that’s bullshit, but we have it in the subtitles: FAKE TARA

If I have to exist on LinkedIn as I look for work, I’m gonna troll it. You’re allowed to hate the em dash because it’s ugly as shit, don’t talk to me about it being a sign of AI.

Screenshot of a reply to a LinkedIn post telling people to cut the em dashes because it’s a sign of AI.

The reply says “someone should tell Poetry Foundation about all the AI they’ve got up there” and links to an Emily Dickinson poem.
