Bought a DVD of Returner at a mall once and the subtitles talked about a ring so long before I realized the subs were a sweary version of Return of the King, not subtitles for Returner.

Comics and opera are actually the same thing (the super-art) from different directions.

Every so often I throw Juno Temple in a post because that's how lesbians get their wings.

"Batman should kill because he lives in a world with killers" should have to be extrapolated out all the way, not to "I should get to kill," which they want, but to to "Carrie, Miranda, Charlott & Samantha should kill." "Balki, Larry & Urkel should kill." "Keeley Jones & Rebecca Welton have killed."

Two lines in this I use a lot and think to myself even more.

fuck all of you for abandoning trans kids. "i turned out fine" fuck you "its a distraction" fuck you "its not a death sentence" FUCK YOU

Is Mafalda ashamed of you?

"Reclining Nude with Cat" is such a different vibe than "Lying Nude Woman with Cat".

This is the current table of contents for Us Living in Fictional Cosmogonies Volume One. Big book. Frasier to Smurfette to Sethe to Whitley Gilbert, Sailor Mercury, Mister Miracle, Dr Dana Scully, and Inigo Montaya. I could cry.

It's important to learn you can be so full of bullshit you exude it in a tremendous radius and still no one else has to swallow it.

are you fucking listening to yourself right now you lousy fuck?

De-stress. "Watching Movies"

The stuffed toy we thought might be a buffalo, a bear, a dinosaur, a bumblebee... and how you're supposed to stand the stuffed bird.

I know this means well, but please remind yourself and others that white people are not soon to be a, much less the or the most ethnic minority in America. Great Replacement is bull and so is counting all nonwhite people as a single group opposite whites.

De-stress. "Green Lantern fans can really complain a lot."

Austin’s only and oldest queer and feminist bookstore was vandalized this weekend. Someone threw a hunk of concrete at the Pride flag painted on their front window, smashing it and damaging the inside of the building. This would be an amazing time to show them some love. Ebookwoman.com

I need y'all to understand what the NYT, Dem donors, and centrists are doing here. They're pushing the narrative that trans people went too far and we deserve what is happening to us. It's pure victim blaming and it's not done yet, there's a Confessore piece in the works with the same framing.

Tearing up Us Living in Fictional Cosmogonies to make a new order and new book (again). Pictured: Madchen in Uniform & Girls Revolution Utena.

Post-Bloomsday anecdote: My great-grandmother on my mom's side apparently had only one off-color joke she would tell, and that was the joke that appears in Ulysses about making water and making tea, but not in the same pot.

Archie Goodwin's time on Detective Comics is one of the strongest runs anyone has had on Batman, not just as a writer, but an editor. Toth. Chaykin. Aparo. Simonson. Goodwin used an amazing selection of artists (only barely missing having the first Frank Miller Batman in the mix).

Anyone wondering if David Watts is a gay song, this is a paraphrase of it's origin: I wanted my brother to marry this beer guy so I'd have free beer but instead I wrote a song about the school head I crushed on but used beer man's name because I still see mine all the time.

I fully believe in holding people accountable and that extends to me really making fun of any of you who think serious drinking or a commitment that heroin, professional speed use, or daily meth intake can't facilitate an otherwise sharp person believing some real dumb stuff with their whole heart.

Flight of Bones is such an off comic. Brainchild of the fake geek girls artist who complained Jenette Kahn didn't deserve to work in comics. Three people credited for story. That artist gone halfway through. A dig at chaos magick. Inconsistent narration, misattributed dialogue, meandering non-story.

LAPD shoves an unhoused woman to the ground so hard her skull cracks open and she’s knocked unconscious. They then carry her to the curb, prop her up and abandon her. Witnesses took her to the ER.

Really impressive how A.G. Sulzberger has completely trashed what credibility the New York Times had remaining.

Here's where I ask you to read my ongoing series, Dracula Ought to Be Weird. tinyurl.com/lustfordracula tinyurl.com/nosferaturem... tinyurl.com/mamadracula

Remember how songs used to be misattributed in patterns back in the early fileshare days? Coffee Shop Girl was by Ozma, every Ozma song was by Jack Off Jill, and all parodies were Weird Al Yankovic? Stand up jokes are like that today. Badum-tsssssssssss...

There's not actually a lot of difference between this and what the 80s were, really. The decade of Flash Gordon, Superman III, Look Who's Talking and Oliver & Company, and of so many 50s-themed movies and 50s-revival movies was just like this.

A dead growing police culture has for generations proselytized barbary as can-as-can Americans invade elsewhere and themselves.

hey. my friend gabi's homeless. legitimately completely utterly homeless. even the shelters are turning her away. she has pretty much nothing except her clothes and her phone and the people she knows. trying to use the reach i have to expand that support network. please help. ko-fi.com/gabigool

Sometimes some of you think I make fun of Kurt Vonnegut too often. I don't make fun of him enough.

I'm not getting in on this part early, but I am bemused by the hate and the dismissal of Alto Knights. I'm on *say nice things about it* mode purely in response to "I thought a Barry Levinson movie based on a nonfiction history would have more fights" or "Can't believe De Niro is in a long movie."

Always courting controversy, people are apparently unhappy I brought this up in the book, but y'know. ko-fi.com/travishedgec...

NPR really has fallen off. It's not that they were great at some point, but this is sadly defficient.

You have to admire people who work on children's movies and do this.
