Despite the fact that I was never really into Power Rangers, I am absolutely blown away by the new @wizkidsheroclix.bsky.social Iconix Power Rangers set! The figures look magnificent and they're so much fun to play.

I took a look at an upcoming @wizkids.bsky.social Dungeons & Dragons release in my new review of the Eldritch Enemies and Maddening Monsters of Ravenloft miniatures boxed sets! Some of the weirdest and coolest figures out there, and I'm ecstatic to add them to my Cthulhu Mythos collection.

When people say they’re anti-AI, they’re clearly talking about generative AI in the arts and LLM slop that C-Suite jackoffs want to use to replace them. You know this. I know this. Everyone knows this. So the “then don’t use spellcheck if you hate AI” talking point is disingenuous horseshit.

Interesting article about naming things, and I particularly like this point: “Look around in your home. Who or what has a name? Your family members, your pets. You may even have named certain objects of significance.” I have books for that! 🤗📚

I hate that I'm defending Christopher Nolan who I can't stand for other reasons but too many people are being wrong about this: the ancient Greeks did not think of their gods as being essentially Greek and having a true appearance that looked like Greek humans.

A person claiming there's no politics in his works likely has no training in how people with political agendas can use interview framing to make his statements look supportive of their agenda. Weir self-identifies as Libertarian, which implies a lot of "a pox on both your houses" naivete.

it's time to tap the sign again -- understanding the origins + history of classical antisemitism tropes means that you can be clear on what legitimate critiques of a state you might want to critique might be & what might be promulgating 2000 year-old scapegoating conspiracy theories
