Does anyone know how to be in a relationship when I just want to sit and draw comics all the time? Anyone got any experience with that? Asking for a friend.......

Trailer to Pressure looks like horse shit. A last gasp of the tone deaf American propaganda machine to use WW2 to say look how mighty and good we are. Same with that football WW2 movie which looks dumb af.

Class struggle. Upper middle class gate keepers determining what is art so they can control the wealth, ignoring working class people's art forms unless they can profit from them (Basquiat is a prime example of this.)

A coming of age story for bitter people in which I realise, at the very end, that oh right, yeah, everyone and everything is annoying, so I might as well quit trying to find someone or something that isn't and bask in the annoyingness of the whole world. Eugh, but like good eugh.

Listening to older episodes of This American Life and it's not because the show used to be so good, it's just that the world was better, or at least on the surface. Idk, fuck, all the episodes these days are about how shit everything is becoming.

Jack Kirby used an exploded diagram of a Winchester 94 as reference for this scene in X-Men #10, 1965.
X-Men #10, 1965. Inked by Chic Stone, lettered by Sam Rosen, dialog by Stan Lee, and probably colored by Stan Goldberg.

I can never not quote Jonah Hill in Superbad whenever somebody says or talks about any kind of "you scratch my back I scratch yours" situation and it gets me into lots of awkward situations.

www.bbc.com/travel/artic... I'm sorry Sweden, you already stole Skåne, Halland and Blekinge from Denmark, you don't get to steal our unwritten cultural codes of conduct too. This some Danish ahh shit

'You're not to think you're anything special': Why Swedes hate standing out
Swedes prize equality, dislike boasting and often prefer to blend in. The century-old idea of Jantelagen helps explain why – and offers visitors a key to decoding Swedish culture.

As far as I can tell, the only reason to have kids is so that you can rewatch old cartoons from your childhood and teenage years without feeling like you're wasting your time. Did I get that right?
