There are SO MANY graphic novels coming out this fall that I'm excited about I can hardly stand it. Everyone's getting published in October. (Except us, we're coming out next spring. Plenty of time for me to yell about my peers and their amazing work first.)

I just added the M-VAVE FM Synth to my Amazon cart and it said "Based on what you added, you probably need a nose hair trimmer"...
Amazon suggests the ROYAL Birdie Manual nose hair trimmer for men.

The overall plot involves one of the local rat scavenger gang leaders finding a medical pod with a one-armed catgirl in it, who's been partially mind-wiped and doesn't know who she is, but does know she's wasn't previously a feline (it's a cyberpunk-ish setting with high bio/nanotech) /2

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Skydivers alert emergency crews, assist after plane crashes near East Troy airport
Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.

We’ve spent many, many hours over the past few months searching the rock pools of Cornwall for a rainbow sea slug. Today, we finally found one! Absolutely worth all the time we’ve spent - it was truly breathtaking.

I'm very please to announce a public release of my drag-and-drop bookmarking, game-making, and wandering tool Scrubjay! Scrubjay is a weird website builder that lets you cobble together web elements, images, links, text fragments, etc into a series of nested rooms...
"SCRUBJAY" sits over a bunch of images of frogs, birds, doors. it's a very 90s look

There's a scene in the movie "They Cloned Tyrone" where two evil and very white scientists have a conversation in their secret underground lair about how you "just have to boil the chicken, you don't even need to season it at all, the boiling brings out all the flavor" and that's this person's vibe

Discworld QOTD, from The Wee Free Men
Witches are naturally nosy,” said Miss Tick, standing up. “Well, I must go. I hope we shall meet again. I will give you some free advice, though.”
“Will it cost me anything?”
“What? I just said it was free!” said Miss Tick.
“Yes, but my father said that free advice often turns out to be expensive,” said Tiffany.
Miss Tick sniffed. “You could say this advice is priceless,” she said, “Are you listening?”
“Yes,” said Tiffany.
“Good. Now...if you trust in yourself...”
“Yes?”
“...and believe in your dreams...”
“Yes?”
“...and follow your star...” Miss Tick went on.
“Yes?”
“...you’ll still be beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren’t so lazy. Goodbye.

In out latest failed attempt to find a Nazi unicorn, we interviewed Dana Simpson, famous for being a unicorn, writing unicorn, and basically being an expert on the topic of unicorn. She says Nazis suck, she always thought Nazis suck, and every unicorn ever thinks Nazis suck. Her mane is fabulous.
