Postponing the fate of the world just to style on some evil spirits or robots or whatever really does feel in line with the brand...

Sonic and the Secret Rings (via #ProjectReignition) is great because I'll finish a tough mission and it'll give me the magic macguffin to leave a region and continue the story, but then it'll be like "or you can stay here and parkour to do weird challenges" and like, yeah, I'm down to parkour a bit

Not knowing who directed Return Of the Jedi is true, deep fandom. If you know who it was, then you’re a fake fan.

I know there's a fan art trend of a feminized Draco Malfoy right now, but can I suggest people make this art about Amity Blight instead? There's less Earned Media for the terf queen right before her new show that way Or, like, maybe go back to Petra Parker fan art, that's always awesome

It truly was an insidious move on the part of Sony to time their "you don't actually own games" maneuver at the same time as they release an exclusive game like Wolverine, which we don't really want to own anyway

Here's a look at Lt. M'Ress in #StarTrekTAS' "The Practical Joker"⬅️ and in #StarTrekSNW's "Tomorrow's Enterprise"➡️. In the former episode, Caitian hands have four fingers, while in the latter, M'Ress has five fingers, giving away that an extra is wearing the make-up (and it's not CG). 1/2

The mechanic didn't actually charge for his time spent on the car when I picked it up today, which was a nice gesture since there was an issue he didn't catch last time and there was no further repairs to make today

No, you should not pirate the Harry Potter show to avoid supporting JK Rowling.  So, over the past few weeks, I’ve talked a lot about Harry

Go get this book and read it. Get it because it is full of important insight & analysis and is incredibly well written. As *an absolute side benefit*, your buying this book will irritate Evangelical gatekeepers & theobros. The better Live Laugh Love does on the charts the angrier Matt Walsh gets.

If stories or plays or movies (or even *and* instead of or) started a trend where in the second act of the movie, a velociraptor stalked into the scene and extinguished a light source, would people start talking about that as a subgenre, or would it just be a meme

TODAY'S COMIC: Mitch? www.sheldoncomics.com/comic/mitch/
PANEL 1: A bleached hair barista with glasses and a single earring holds up a cup out of a line up of coffees.
BARISTA: “Ok, I got an order for MITCH.”

PANEL 2: The BARISTA looks down at the cup, trying to read the name.
BARISTA: uh…”MITCH, KING OF AMBER?” 
Off-panel character: Is it a vanilla latte?

PANEL 3: From behind the BARISTA, a group of people wait for their coffees. Behind them stands the WITCH KING OF ANGMAR from Lord of the Rings, in a dark cloud of smoke.
BARISTA: Yes.
WITCH-KING: IT’S WITCH-KING OF ANGMAR.

I've had so many discussions about Star Trek over the last two decades that boiled down to "Wow, it'd be amazing if Star Trek just did a <WEIRD GENRE> episode. Can you imagine?" This season is a freakin' gift, and people are so blind to that XD

FELLOW STAR TREK FANS: This week's episode of Strange New Worlds is going to have a high-concept premise, colloquially known as a "gimmick". It just *will*. We don't need to make that observation *every week*, assume we all know that and save us the time when we discuss it. #startrek

The return to physical media is a radical act. A book in your hand or a record on the turntable belong to a world beyond subscriptions, licenses, and corporate permission, and they can be lent, inherited, annotated, repaired, and loved. They remain when the platform fails and the servers die.

Book your tickets now for ZyxxCon II: The Wrath of Con! bit.ly/zyxxcontwo And check out the new and exclusive zyxxart from @justshannanigans.bsky.social for our poster!
A picture of the crew of the Bargarean Jade all squeezed into Bargie’s Photo Booth together. (Yet another thing we didn’t realise Bargie had.)
AJ sits next to Pleck and is flexing his right arm. Pleck is making a peace sign and wears an eye patch. C-53 is slightly hiding behind Pleck because he thinks this is cringe. Old Derf is behind C, with a long white beard. Dar is standing to Derf’s right. They are squatting and bent over in order to fit into the booth. Nermut is in the centre of the picture, standing with one little bird leg on AJ’s Helmut and one on Dar’s leg. 
The text across the middle of the poster says ZyxxCon II: The Wrath of Con. Smaller text in the lower right hand corner says Saturday, Oct 10th 2026 @ Pine Box Rock Shop  Doors open at 2:00pm
The font is ITC Serif Gothic in white. The background is jade green and the crew are featured in canon-typical colours.

We should replace the term "detransitioner" with "double-transitioner" because really it's transitioning twice. And that opens the door for the concept of "triple-trans."

Enough time has passed, I think Denshattack is one of the best pieces of media I've ever consumed full stop. GOTY and it's not even close, even in a year where Tomodachi Life, Rhythm Heaven, and Splatoon Raiders released. It is a MANDATORY experience.

COMIC: Libraries
PANEL 1: GRAMP, an older bald man with a grey mustache, wearing glasses down on the edge of his nose, holds out his hands as a LIBRARIAN (latino man with a goatee) hands him three books.
LIBRARIAN: ‘K, you’re all checked out. Books are due back on the 15th.

PANEL 2: The LIBRARIAN holds up a finger as he continues.
LIBRARIAN: And a reminder that the library now checks out power tools. And baking pans. And gardening seeds. And robotic kits.

PANEL 3: GRAMP looks impressed, while the LIBRARIAN leans in to whisper.
GRAMP: WHOA! When did the library get so awesome.
LIBRARIAN: Well, that’s our secret, Captain…

PANEL 4: The LIBRARIAN now wears pixelated meme-glasses, fireworks going off in the background.
LIBRARIAN: We’ve always been awesome.
A sign on the counter reads: Don’t forget to “checkout” our FIRE WORKS
