Very this. We are ambitious and ready, but we need money to do, uh, everything! It's a catch-22: we need money to make things happen, but you need things for your money. And we are ad and AI free, no seo or ceos, and that makes it tough. popheist.com/products

My FB feed is filled with indignant posts about how nobody is remembering the Jewish victims of the Oct. 7, 2023 attacks Well, I do remember them I remember them as the first victims of Netanyahu's decision to allow those attacks to occur and set off all of this horror, just to save his own ass
haaretz.com
Netanyahu got an explicit warning before Oct. 7. He didn't brief security chiefs
In September '23, UAE President bin Zayed called Netanyahu to deliver a harsh warning. Netanyahu did nothing. An extensive investigation, conducted for a new book, reveals the PM's failures surroundin...

Really disappointing to see people I really respect plugging Tom Cruise films in 2026, he is a monster and an abuser and a significant figure in a deeply harmful cult whose members actively make the world worse - "Mr. Movies" is a fucking opp!

Discworld QOTD, from Night Watch
But the helmet has gold decoration, and the bespoke armorers had made a new gleaming breastplate with useless gold ornamentation on it. Sam Vimes felt like a class traitor every time he wore it. He hated being thought of as one of those people that work stupid ornamental armor. It was gilt by association.

It’s just that Rat Queens immediately taking Upchurch—a co-creator—off the book when we (the people) learnt he abused his wife was The Example of a book “for women” taking violent misogyny “seriously.” It was a definitive industrial moment. And then it was a giant lie

This ad is in heavy rotation here in Ohio, blaming Sherrod Brown-- who's leading the Senate race-- for this woman's botched trans surgery as a child. 1. She was 19 when she had surgery, not a child. 2. Trans surgery on minors is illegal in Ohio. 3. She has never lived in Ohio. She's from Texas.

Attack ad claims Dems allowed a minor to have gender-affirming surgery. It's a lie. - LGBTQ Nation
First off, she wasn't a minor when it happened....

@rincewind.run I'm rereading Carpe Jugulum for seasonal reasons and I think Granny Weatherwax's convo with Mightily Oats about faith and Om would be an excellent qotd. "It seems that if you sees evil now you have to wring your hands..." etc etc.

I'm not 100% sure Lanterns landed the plane as well as it thinks it did, but the show was solid. If they do another one, they should find a "case" that keeps a good rhythm the whole season and have villains that don't feel half-developed.

E.T. I had a recurring nightmare where a horde of ETs, all with different skin patterns (plaids, checks, solids, polka dots, stripes) swarmed into my room and trapped me!

Not a bad finale for Lanterns. I give it an 8 out of 10 overall, which is high praise from someone who has generally hated the line outside of the JL cartoon. I look forward to more, at least.

The practical effects and claymation work in Return to Oz are so fun and unique. You can see real craft. Makes it worth the nightmares Mombi & the Wheelers gave me as a kid.

17 years ago on this very day, around this time, a man who looked like Willie Nelson asked to buy me a shot of bourbon in a bar. He said I looked pretty and asked when I was getting married (I was wearing a veil with jeans and a tshirt) I had to smile at him and say "three hours ago"

Okay. So here's what I know - I lost my day job. - I hated my day job. - I liked having a lot of money and health insurance. - But a lot of money never made me happier, I just owned more stuff. - I do still need health insurance. - I'm really fucking good at lettering comic books.

The collapse of so many distribution models that would be a steady source of residuals means actors you used to like propping up the worst ideas and products. It’s not gonna get better.

I've made it up to S18 of Taskmaster, having started with 19 and then gone back to the beginning. Alex Horne and his task team are very impressive. I do think Greg has gone a bit soft in his old age, I kinda liked when he was more of a hardass.
