The traditional way of defunding the police.

A wild-haired man in a goldenrod, high-necked sweater and tweedish blazer stands with arms upraised in exuberant joy as the cop behind him in the massive wicker effigy is about to go up in flames.

Why is the Mayor of Lazytown helping draft bills with Gavin Newsom?

Idiots exist who have no comprehension of what a pronoun is. And then there's Stephen King. From Apt Pupil by Stephen King.

The day I entered my Metallica Load phase. Meaning I cut my hair after decades of long hair. Thanks to Covid and my stylist moving away, I'm back to long hair. Plus all that beard shit, while in the same relative places, is gray now.

From my exegesis of Pynchon's Mason & Dixon. I know, I know. What does that have to do with Mason & Dixon? Get off my back! What are you, my editor?!

I would like to get a flattering letter some time. My first year out of state in college, I once got a letter from the girl I had a crush on where she said she loved me like a brother. Was that flattering? It just seemed cruel and world-destroying at the time.

Thinking on it after all these years, I still think it was cruel and world-destroying but also probably a lie. What she really wanted to say was almost certainly, "You're being pathetic and I don't know how to deal with this. Please go get laid and forget about me. You're in college, you loser. I am sucking two dicks as I write this."

Technically, the many TITS and asses of evil.

The cover of Eclipso: The Darkness Within #2 which prominently displays Starfire's ass and nearly Black Canary's taint and Phase's ass (partially obscured by the Direct Shop ISBN box). I have used Corel Photopaint 2000 to change "The Many Faces of Evil!" to "The Many Asses of Evil!" I did it with my own dexterity and tools in Corel Photopaint. It was really very simple but then I've been using it for 25+ years. You don't fucking need AI, assholes. Or a newfangled photoshop program that comes with a monthly subscription. If you can imagine it, you can fucking do it yourself with tools at hand.

my Neopets will only fuck to the Meepit Juice Break theme.

Gender & Sexuality
You may play a Neopet of any gender or sexuality. There are no mechanical differences based on any of these choices.
You are free to present your gender and/or sexuality in any way that suits your character.
For example, you may find yourself playing a Uni that uses he/him pronouns but is painted Royalgirl.
Before roleplaying romantic encounters with other characters, it's important to know what content everyone at the table is comfortable with. We advise that players begin campaigns with a Session 0, where they can discuss questions related to this, including:
• How much romance is okay 'on-screen' before the scene needs to fade to black?
• How much sexuality is okay 'on-screen' before the scene needs to fade to black?
We are planning on putting a Session O Guide into the final book, but we are counting on you to do this yourselves for the Playtests!

Excerpt from my blog about me. I mean about comics. tessatechaitea.blogspot.com/2024/01/just...

Comic books are way better than reality because this cop probably won't be charged for murdering all of those people due to being mind-controlled and not being responsible for his actions rather than if this happened in reality, the cop wouldn't be charged due to "qualified immunity" and the excuse that he feared for his safety. Why is it always the person with the gun who "feared for their safety"? It's so much easier to plead self-defense in court when you've murdered the other person and they can't testify against you! And it's obvious people with guns fear for their safety. That's why they have a gun! And it's also why they shouldn't have a gun because they're fucking scared of everything! And since their first thought is to use the gun in a conflict, they figure if the other person has a gun, they're going to use it on them! So they just start shooting like a maniac and then plead self-defense later. Regular citizens shouldn't be allowed to plead self-defense against a murder charge simply because they felt scared or threatened. And cops especially shouldn't be able to since they're supposed to be protecting citizens at the risk of their own lives! Not at the risk of all of our lives! This is why people love firemen and hate policemen. Because firemen actually do risk their lives to save people and policemen won't fucking risk a single hair on their fat mustache to save even children.

They're never the hero of the story. It's why they hate art.

"Here it was again, the most ancient of roadforks, one that Paul had glimpsed before, in Kroner's study, months ago. The choice of one course or the other had nothing to do with machines, hierarchies, economics, love, age. It was a purely internal matter. Every child older than six knew the fork, and knew what the good guys did here, and what the bad guys did here. The fork was a familiar one in folk tales the world over, and the good guys and the bad guys, whether in chaps, breechclouts, serapes, leopardskins, or banker's gray pinstripes, all separated here."
-- Kurt Vonnegut, Player Piano, 1952

What’s a comic book costume you know is terrible but you love it anyways?

Cover of The New Teen Titans #22 or something. Brother Blood serving cunt in his white high collared cape with his snake toque and bloodhound mask. Terrible straps all over with his diaper looking crotch thing and clip-on boots.

Just had a bowl of this and, while delicious, it also might be a chemical weapon.

I don't know why or when I saved this Turning Point USA advert to my random photos folder (probably to dunk on in a comic book review) but posting it here will probably get me in trouble even though it's just a thing they did years ago and now I'm sharing a piece of historical Internet ephemera.

Turning Point USA advert showing a woman holding an AR rifle or whatever with the copy, "Give me on reason why what I own is any of your business..." The color of the font changes from blue to red with "any of your business" which just makes the point of how threatening this happy woman and her happy gun are being.

Me being the voice of reason and satirically defending Harvey Weinstein during the #MeToo movement:

Scary Grunion Guy tweeted, on October 12th, 2017, in a satirical manner (just in case you thought I was really defending the monster, you monster!): "People who look like melted candles stuck on sloppy dog turds probably get lots of consensual pussy so just wait until lawyers say things!"
