The thing about someone ‘improperly receiving benefits’ is I don’t care. Oh no did someone get food or health care? Good!

I keep thinking about Backrooms, that it’s a movie made by someone young now, and is about people having to wander around and sift through the banal and garish detritus of the late 20th century, warped and monstrous things being built from flimsy memories of that era

Walking away from the board meeting like Verbal Kint, dropping the Patagonia puffer and putting on an ascot as we cut back to an increasingly frantic board room.

Where are the grifters for good? Where’s the louche and handsome older European who tricks the AI company in to footing the bill for a “data center” that suspiciously easily converts to public housing and mass transit when the bubble pops?

Happy birthday to a triple bill of horror royalty 👻 🦇 Christopher Lee was born today in 1922. 🦇 Vincent Price was born today in 1911. 🦇 Peter Cushing was born yesterday (close enough!) in 1913. Now that’s spooky…

Historian of abolition here, history tells us how we got here, to put it succinctly “John Brown was hanged for treason and Robert E. Lee was not.”

shake it up
panel 1: “I need to shake up my way of thinking,” a man says. His thoughts (represented by magnet letters) say ‘SELF HATE’.

panel 2: The man shakes up his thoughts.

panel 3: The rearranged letters now spell out ‘EAT FLESH’.

“Uh” the man says, hesitantly.

panel 4: “I built a tea shelf,” the man says, showing off dat shelf, a rearrangement of the letters. He is clearly preoccupied though, as his thoughts still spell out ‘EAT FLESH’.

I hear King Charles is addressing the US congress today. I don’t know why you’d want to spend time with an anachronistic, powerless, largely symbolic institution, but if the king wants to waste his time that’s up to him.

I for one am shocked, shocked that Marvel comics would put plot details required to follow one story in a different story to force you to buy both stories.

Doug and The Slugs worked on the screenplay together. Huey Lewis & The News both worked on the screenplay, but independently, at different times.

Apple Music, I think a good feature for your phone app could be if when someone hits the “search” button that took them to a place they could search for music, instead of a list of categories and another “no, I mean search” click.

None of you understand, the president literally poops gold. America is in so much trouble that he has to be pooping constantly. For the economy. All the time. In every meeting. None of you appreciate the incredible work he’s doing.

Panel 1: At the top it says "Beginning of year:" A man with messy dark brown hair and a green t-shirt is standing next to Shen, saying "This year, I'm gonna become rich!" Shen is saying "I'm gonna become goth!"

Panel 2: The man points at Shen and laughs manically, saying "HAHAHAHA!! What a dumb resolution!" Shen just looks back at him sadly.

Panel 3: At the top it says "End of year:" The man is now in a payphone booth, with raindrops outside hitting the glass in the night sky. He has 5-o-clock shadow. He's on the phone asking someone "Hey dude ... Can I borrow some money?"

Panel 4: It's revealed to be Shen he's talking to, who is smiling smugly on his phone, in full goth getup. To describe the getup: His hair is dyed a super dark brown, and has "X" and ankh shaped hair clips. His hair also has bright purple highlights. He has dark purple eyeshadow and eyeliner former the bottoms of "X"s below his eyes. He's wearing a choker, 2 necklaces, and tank top with mesh sleeves. He also has a mesh bracelet, purple-painted nails, and his phone has a charm of the Sanrio character Kuromi.

I know I’m not the first person to say it but the hyper commercialization of the Grinch story is pretty sad and a perfect illustration of the ability of capital to absorb critiques painlessly

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.
It's an artistic representation of a circulatory system walking through a kitchen, as drawn by Dave Gibbons and written about by Alan Moore.
It happens a lot 'round here.
