This sleek look would be even better with ear protection and a piercing whistle.

Boy, sure would be a shame if people brought loud AF whistles to where ICE was doing their horrible bullshit. I'm certainly not linking how to make them with a 3D printer or to a post with more resources in the comments.

Happy Turkey Day, y'all I hope there is something in your life to be thankful for, both today and every day going forward!
A fake Little Caesar's pizza add displaying a pizza where the meats, peppers and olives have been arranged to create a turkey image. The top text reads "WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW?" and the bottom text reads "$5 Fucked Up Turkey Pizza" with a *. The * text reads "lol you'd think we would use turkey meat for this but nah, we're cheap and so are you"

A photo of Dr. Mrs. The Monarch from Venture Brothers sitting at a table and looking at a laptop while seeming a bit vexed. Underneath, a screengrab of Twitter user named "Prismatic Wasteland" is posted, which reads "We are getting fewer and fewer usable alternative names for flunkies. "Henchmen" is too gendered and henchpeople just doesn't have a nice ring to it. You can't say "minion" without thinking of the little yellow guys. And don't even get me started on the word "goon"

The New Adventures of Superman & Clark
A Tumblr screenshot that reads: "People get so confused trying to figure out the Lois/Clark/Superman situation that somehow they come to the conclusion that Clark is cheating on Lois with Superman. I mean Lois clearly has nothing to hide, every from here to Krypton's seen Superman fly her with a chaste hand around her waist. But Clark puts an awful lot of effort into making sure no one ever gets a pic of him and Superman together. What is he worried Lois will see?!? People shake their heads sadly every time Superman visits the Daily Planet and then Clark emerges from a closet disheveled and tucking his shirt back into his pants. But if Lois won't see it, there's nothing they can do."

The classic Edward Hopper painting Nighthawks, depicting three customers and one poor food service person having to deal with serving three customers by himself in the dead of night. "C'mon, where the fuck is Debra," he thinks to himself sourly, "This was her shift, she asked for it specifically! I'm not even supposed to be here tonight, what the actual fuck, this place is bullshit. And you just know that dude who has only been ordering coffee for the last three hours won't even tip. I hate my life."

I made a shocking discovery today. Lucky the Leprechaun has a multitude of canonical superpowers that derive from his marshmallows. His attempts to prevent his cereal from falling into the hands of thieving kids no longer seems whimsical or selfish. Such power should not be held by mortal children.
The back of the Lucky Charms cereal box showing Lucky the Leprechauns unleashing his spectrum of entirely marshmallow based superpowers. Each different shape/color grants a different ability, so named in each facet of the "rainbow." Hearts = granting life to the inanimate, Stars = flight, Horsehoes = superspeed/time acceleration(?), Clovers = good luck, Moons = Invisibility, Unicorns = Color manipulation, Rainbows = Teleportation, Balloons = Floating. This is insanity.

To be fair, I know a lot of Marvel fans who talk shit about Xavier's child soldiers (mostly about asshole Xavier, not the self-defense training), but it does tickle me that Marvel just retconned Captain America's chipper teen sidekick into a murder machine and everyone was mostly fine with that.
DC fans: BATMAN MAKES CHILD SOLDIERS! ALL THE ROBINS ARE CHILD SOLDIERS! BATMAN IS A BAD PERSON CUS HE MAKES CHILD SOLDIERS!
Marvel Fans: This is Bucky Barnes he's a literal child soldier for the US army. They got him a little dress uniform and everything. He's so cool. This is Charles Xavier's child soldier school, every once in a while we get a new class of them! Aren't comics fun!

Finally got a hold of @ryannorth.ca 's Star Trek: Lower Decks Warp Your Own Way and it was fan-freaking-tastic! Absolutely as amazing as you would imagine a Choose Your Own Adventure Lower Decks romp written by Ryan North would be! 11/10! (Buy it now, turn to page 38. Ignore this, turn to page 82)
The cover to the graphic novel Star Trek: Lower Decks - Warp Your Own Way. It depicts the awesome Beckett Mariner and the other Lower Decks crew falling through space as various shots of Beckett Mariner and weirdness are portrayed maze style with conflicting arrows.

If anyone out here in Bluesky land is interested in trying out my fave PbtA horror RPG Monster of the Week from @evilhat.bsky.social games OR interested in a campaign set in a city that's 2 parts Gotham City to 1 part Boston, I have good news! I'm running both over on StartPlaying! Links in replies!
The cover of the horror RPG Monster of the Week. It depicts a huge, eyeless yellow monster with rows of teeth and tentacles attacking valiant would be monster hunters. The monster hunters include a little girl floating and using magical abilities, a well-armed individual in tactical gear trapped in tentacle's grasp and another hunter slashing the monster with a big sword.

Having loved @ceejthemoment.bsky.social's previous pitch black tale of a L.A. serial killer "Maeve Fly" immensely, I picked this up right away. A naive teen girl attempts to survive a plague that ramps up libido to feral levels & all the monsters it enables. Pageturning, disturbing & powerful 10/10

Captain America stands in front of a bunch of exploding figures on fire while looking to the right and holding his shield. He says "Let's not get carried away. I've known GOOD vampires.

2nd read of 2025 - Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros I'd seen a lot of talk about this one and so I picked it up out of curiosity. Solid romantasy w dragons, spicy sex scenes and a dark academic setting. I can see why people are big fans and I can see why others are critical. I liked it, tropes and all

The cover of Gail Simone's first novel Red Sonja: Consumed, showing a lock of long red hair and colorful braids curling around the hilt and blade of a gold and silver sword. The sword is battle damaged but gleaming with a golden horse's head at the top of the hilt.

Talk shit all you want about Guy Gardener and the new Superman trailer (I'm psyched, personally) but anything that gets us one step closer to immortalizing this scene in a cinematic way is a net positive for humanity
