@varmaz.is While I am enjoying the new direction of T-Minus, I am missing the daily space news updates and wondered if you had any recommendations for where to go to replace that part of the show?

@feap.bsky.social I was wondering... Is there an text archive of past global countdowns from The Briefing?

"Why do you want to work for us?" should never be a required question in a tight job market.

Hey. Anyone with a stupid amount of BTC want to give me a couple?

Uses presence tense? Do you have any examples of that?

Does Jerry read romance? Because my wife, @patriciadeddy.com, has a book he might like.

GI Joe was the first. When I saw the ad for Secret Wars I thought 'Wait, I can just get one series and get to know all these other characters easily?' It got a little crazy from there....

As they celebrate the 1986 Red Sox at Fenway Opening Day, I think they should have had, instead of a moment of silence, a moment of uproarious cheering for Bill Buckner.

Is it wrong that I want to see them fire up a game on it?

So, you think making not-even-thinly veiled references suggesting someone is homosexual like it’s a bad thing is okay then?

Look how sad Cyclops is. Do you think he just realized he actually has heat vision, @gailsimone.bsky.social ?
The cover of X-Factor 10, which features a portrait of Cyclops in which he looks exceptionally sad.

What I love most about this New Mutants cover by Barry Windsor-Smith is that in the audience of three is Magneto.
The cover of New Mutants 46, featuring X-men and Morlocks breaking through a wall, presumably into the X-mansion, in front of Cannonball, Magma, and Magneto. Colossus leads the way shouting: Clear out, kids - - this is a job for the X-men!

I shall continue my peeveing at the "unknown element' then =D

John Eddy @jaydeflix.bsky.social · 18/03/2026
Okay, now I am curious... One of my pet peeves in science fiction is "it's made from an unknown element" which makes me want to angrily wave a periodic table at the TV. But now I'm curious. In theory, could these new (to us) particles lead to those unknown elements?

The Amalgam character Speed Demon (Flash/Ghost Rider) really should have been named Ghost Runner.

We've all been there, Pete.

And, specifically, it's only monthly if you want a full-time role. Hourly rate for part-time.

"What is your expected monthly salary rate?" I can't remember the last time I've seen someone ask for *monthly*.

@bradfo.bsky.social fwiw, I love my head blade (www.headblade.com). The trick is figuring out the best schedule and keeping to it.

Hey, @gailsimone.bsky.social… Would Rogue buy a Nissan Rogue? Or would she think that was too silly and thus Remy would buy[1] it for her as a joke? [1] Or, I mean, steal.

What's funny is I was sure a couple of these I JUST scanned in a different box but I am not sure I ever bought straight dupes. Alt covers, sure....

Maybe tonight I'll reset up my blog and start posting pictures.

It is infuriating.

I don't even know how SOME of them are scanned in.

John Eddy @jaydeflix.bsky.social · 21/02/2026
Bad: I ran out of bags and boards. Good: There was a sale so I have 1000 coming in. Bad: But I can't do anything til I get here. Good: But I found a box of bagged and boarded books I can scan. Horrible: But I found that some of the books are already scanned in. But not all of them.

I have one golden age sized comic, The Tick Golden Age Number 1, that is going to require me to find a single bag and board to fit it. I am irked. And a nerd.

I had, foolishly, some vague hope that we could at least teach her about alt-text. I know the display name was a lost cause.

John Eddy @jaydeflix.bsky.social · 19/02/2026
Idea: a comic book database that flags comics with problematic creators.

Oh look, she finally blocked us.

I am sure someone has considered building a text parser into a screen reader but that wouldn't work out well.
110
John Eddy @jaydeflix.bsky.social · 18/02/2026
The words are only there for people who can see them. A screen reader doesn't parse graphics to find the text, it uses the alt text.

John Eddy @jaydeflix.bsky.social · 18/02/2026
Yep. Probably muted us.

John Eddy @jaydeflix.bsky.social · 18/02/2026
I made sure to only pick ones that I could find in a search. I recognize that the ableism of most of those words is antiquated, so I tend not to call out their use even if I *try* to avoid them.
000
John Eddy @jaydeflix.bsky.social · 18/02/2026
There and more, really. If one is ableist, then they all are.
100
John Eddy @jaydeflix.bsky.social · 18/02/2026
Lastly, I didn't tell you to change your display name. I simply pointed out that it wasn't friendly to screen readers and that is you being ableist by ignoring accessibility. And screen readers do indeed read your display name when reading a reply.
010
John Eddy @jaydeflix.bsky.social · 18/02/2026
And what’s your opinion on the ableist slurs like stupid, idiot, cretin, or moron?
