My little joke made me wanna do a full rewatch and indeed a bit of fan art why not who's it hurtin'

A poster that reads: Brock Samson in "THE SPY WHO TEASED ME"

It depicts the morose face of Brock Samson over which towers a portrait of Molotov Cocktease. In the foreground, Brock's Dodge Charger is running over a person while taking fire.

It doesn't happen very often but every time I come across a photo of Moby I feel like something's missing so this time I fixed it

Moby with a drawn-in ginger goatee, looking to my mind very much like Rusty Venture of The Venture Bros. TV show.

After a lengthy amount of time, I completed and posted the last page of 'Woodland Secrets,' the latest Edie Copperpot tale. For those who like introspective, slice-of-life fantasy stories, and cats feature predominantly in this one. You can read it here: www.msgierillustration.com/edie-copperp...

A comic panel from Edie Copperpot: Woodland Secrets. To the right, Edie (a young girl of 11) walks through the city streets with a black cat walking next to her. To her left a trio of kids around her age look after her, baffled by her feline companion. A pair of adults looks on in the background. A caption box in the upper portion of the panel reads, "...that Edie was accompanied by a steadfast companion."

I'm hearing that he saw the Boner 4Ever building and, while driving by, thought it said Bron 4Ever and that's ultimately what got him to sign.

I'm assuming it's some algorithmic mistake, but the LeBron James news on the Inquirer's homepage is paired with a photo from a No Kings protest? What do I know...

A screenshot of the homepage of the Philadelphia Inquirer. The headline reads The King of Philly, in reference to LeBron James choosing to sign with the Philadelphia Sixers. The headline is paired with a photo from a No Kings protest, presumably a mistake.

Fuck the reflecting pool. This has not gotten nearly enough coverage or generated the proper outrage. People thrown in prison for 30-50 years for the "crime" ofmaking zines and belonging to a book club!! This is straight-up totalitarian atrocity. Political prisoners thrown in a gulag to rot.

I really enjoy EB White's take on New York and New Yorkers.

An excerpt from EB White's Here is New York
There are roughly three New Yorks there is first the New York of the man or woman who was born here who takes the city for granted and accepts its size and its turbulence is natural and inevitable second there is the New York of the commuter the city that is devoured by locusts each day and spat out each night third there is the New York of the person who was born somewhere else and came to New York in quest of something of these three trembling cities the greatest is the last the city of final destination the city that is a goal it is this third city that accounts for New York's high-strung disposition it's poetical deportment it's a dedication to the arts and it's incomparable achievements commuters give the city its title restlessness natives give it solidity and continuity but the settlers give it passion and whether it is a farmer arriving from Italy to set up a small grocery store in a slum or a young girl arriving from a small town in Mississippi to escape the indignity of being observed by her neighbors or a boy arriving from the corn belt with a manuscript in his suitcase and a pain in his heart it makes no difference each embraces New York with the intense excitement of first love each absorbs New York with fresh eyes of an adventurer each generates heat and light to dwarf the consolidated Edison company

I'd love to see LaVonnia Moore reach her goal, the fundraiser has raised $33,563 and there's less than $1,500 to go. 📚 I've donated $20 this time around, which is a lot for me since I've been unemployed for ten months. Would anyone be willing to match me?

The Tube Train, by Cyril E. Power, linocut, 1934.

Description from The Met’s site - “Inspired by the modernity of London’s subway system, popularly known as the Tube, Power featured it in many of his signature linocuts. The disengaged passengers on this crowded subway—a scene familiar to many urban dwellers—prefer to read their newspapers rather than interact with one another. Alienation, a by-product of modern life, is a theme often present in Power’s images of the London Underground”.

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way

Herman Melville on moderates, all the way back in 1857:

“You are an abolitionist, ain’t you?”
“As to that, I cannot so readily answer. If by abolitionist you mean a zealot, I am none; but if you mean a man, who, being a man, feels for all men, slaves included, and by any lawful act, opposed to nobody’s interest, and therefore, rousing nobody’s enmity, would willingly abolish suffering (supposing it, in its degree, to exist) from among mankind, irrespective of color, then am I what you say.”
“Picked and prudent sentiments. You are the moderate man, the invaluable understrapper of the wicked man. You, the moderate man, may be used for wrong, but are useless for right.”

March 8, 2026 - Tehran at sunrise today. But the sun is hidden behind a sky filled with smoke. After a night of intensive strikes on oil facilities, thick black clouds now hang over the city, turning morning into something that feels like night.
