Look, I want @lanedraws.bsky.social to remain employed for a long time. So I may have just pledged to this super-awesome Kickstarter to finance the second issue of "Someone's Died at Adventure Mountain," and you should, too.

Whew! Manga won. Imagine trying to push this gift out of your industry. Imagine being hostile to this audience. Because that's exactly what the American comic industry did letting the weirdos screaming about "forced diversity" take point.

Also worth noting: if these "popularism" fetishists were serious, they'd put AOC, Sanders, and Warren in charge. They're the most popular Democrats in Congress right now. They should run everything, right? today.yougov.com/ratings/poli...

When you listen to The First Edition’s debut album, it becomes obvious how different their hit single is from every other song. The group of New Christy Minstrels alums mostly sound like… The New Christy Minstrels. Except for that one track…. #nowplaying #musicsky

I remember going with my Dad to pick up a TripTik from AAA so he would have all the directions needed for our trip. Apparently, TipTik is now an app from AAA.

I feel like we've lost something valuable in American film culture when I realize that everybody who makes movies defaults to "What if we did 'Steamboat Willie,' but as an ultra-violent slasher?" and nobody seems to fall back to "What if we did 'Steamboat Willie,' but as a softcore sex comedy romp?"

My dad is always complaining about various shows being heavy-handed with social commentary, and I tell him “yeah, they’ve been doing that forever. Look at Star Trek.” “You keep saying that, but I don’t remember it being so ham-fisted.” THATS BECAUSE YOUNGER YOU AGREED WITH IT, YOU ASS. :D

I'm all for connecting with fans, but yesterday a remote viewer tried to perceive me with their "Demonic Wishing Eye", & I had to divert their gaze into a straw doll shaped like Scott the Woz. Please do not do that. Thank You.

Lately, I've been reminding myself that 75 million voters chose Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. We didn't defeat Trumpism at the ballot box. But remembering that 75 million US adults rejected hatred and fear helps me stay encouraged during these difficult days, weeks, and months.

Republican support for gay marriage has fallen to 41%. For those in the LGBTQ+ community who do not believe they are coming after gay marriage next after their draconian anti-trans restrictions, you're in for a surprise - we are all in this together.

BRB — checking the Hague’s website to see if it’s possible Musk could have a warrant issued for undermining a democracy, destroying an international aid network, and being callously responsible for the deaths and/or permanent disability of at least hundreds of thousands of people.

Yet another slimy statement from the company that controls the dominant share of streaming. Daniel Ek won’t protect musicians against AI — his “philosophical” question diminishes the real work that real artists do every day, as do Spotify’s poverty-wage payouts. We need the LWMA!

This is really the perfect use of generative AI: to create a report whose purpose is solely to exist as A Report, which no one is supposed to read because no one involved in its creation even pretends to have the slightest genuine interest in the actual facts at issue.

As much as there is to relish about the world’s richest man getting unceremoniously offboarded by the very government he spent a quarter of a billion dollars to install, the joy quickly fades upon remembering: Elon Musk made your life worse. And the true extent of his harm will continue to unfold.

The only stories I want to read about Elon Musk are investigative pieces about why the hell he hasn't yet been arrested for illegally demolishing the federal government in order to line his pockets and steal data.
