So they get rid of Jonathan Majors who was comparing himself to MLK and is MAGA and then they give us Kelsey Grammer, who compares himself to MLK and is MAGA.

@seanferrick.bsky.social @elittlechild.bsky.social As we approach the Puppet Episode of SNW, wanted to tag the two of you into a copy of a rant I posted about it as a Facebook comment. I'm doing this because I think very specifically, people have misunderstood the BUSINESS MODEL of streaming Trek

@doctorow.pluralistic.net @taylorlorenz.bsky.social Probably contentious to do this but I wanted to toss a bit from a Gemini chat I was using as a sounding board without having to slow down and articulate it. I use these things to articulate racing thoughts, make sure there's a plausible structure.

For reference, I created the first website about Kal-L in the 90s as a teenager which led to me being solicited to pitch DC for years. Loeb kind of had me under his wing. I have stories about that era. Won a bunch of baldies and got credited for supplying a premise in SUPERMAN #178.

Special Thanks to me credit in the issue

So... I'll try to avoid anything not tied to a solicited rejected pitch but the angel in this picture was my take on Matrix nearly a decade ago. Breaking down my take: Matrix is an angel who sometimes gets bodies created by scientists out of protoplasm, inspired by dreams. It's how she incarnates.

Richard Spencer said Stephen Miller was "tougher than any cuck" in 2017. Miller said that Spencer's claims were "100% false". Miller's wife (who Miller didn't catch COVID from while living together) is now moving out west to go to work for Elon Musk. You couldn't write this stuff.

Very excited! I read your Q&A with League of Comic Geeks. As it happens, I was solicited by Mirage. (Only ever dealt with Murphy.) Also a big Morrison fan. Grant's stuff inspired a pitch to DC when I was solicited by Eddie Berganza. Interesting you mention Matrix a couple of times in the Q&A...

Incidentally, funny how people who claim to support local government suddenly jump to scare quotes when black people who live in an area describe that neighborhood as theirs.

Teslas are so efficient. I'd look at a Ferrari with that deco and think that guy has a small dick. I'd look at an F150 and think that guy drinks energy drinks and laughs at his own jokes. I'd look at a mini Cooper and see an insecure nerd. The cyber truck manages to say all of those things at once.

Could someone explain to me why Trump says that Powell couldn't be his attorney because she "would have been conflicted"? Was she suing him too? Was he sleeping with her? I don't recall her disclosing any conflicts involving Trump before. @akivamcohen.bsky.social @kenwhite.bsky.social

Trump's Truth Social Post:

Sidney Powell was one of millions and millions of people who thought, and in ever increasing numbers still think, correctly, that the 2020 Presidential Election was RIGGED & STOLLEN, AND OUR COUNTRY IS BEING ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED BECAUSE OF IT!!! Despite the Fake News reports to the contrary, and without even reaching out to ask the Trump Campaign, MS. POWELL WAS NOT MY ATTORNEY, AND NEVER WAS. In fact, she would have been conflicted. Ms. Powell did a valiant job of representing a very unfairly treated and governmentally abused General Mike Flynn, but to no avail.

I can't believe you didn't call out Quark's Federation Experience as a reference to Star Trek: The Experience in Las Vegas from 1998 to 2008. All I can figure is that it didn't have the global impact on fandom that it had in the U.S. because there were several times I expected it to come up before.

I did a deep dive on Insta as to why Marrok from Ahsoka might be a woman but the big takeaway is that I think Marrok is Mara Jade, the dark Jedi who married Luke Skywalker pre-Disney reboot. Ahsoka's timeline is close to when she met Luke in the old books and she worked for Imperials under Thrawn.
