My optometrist loved the shirt. He had no idea what Videodrome is. Here’s hoping he gets one for himself and wears it at the office.

“It’s amazing that others in this room underwrote electing a man who, in the last week, single-handedly destroyed all of American science. It’s amazing how much good science you can destroy with $320 million and RFK Jr, very fast.” — Seth Rogen’s censored remarks presenting the Breakthrough Prize

I’m working on something just for fun (just for me) between bottle feeding, tummy time, erratic sleep shifts and my two comics gigs:

This is something we can all do.👇🏼 File a complaint with the FL and DC Bar to have Pam Bondi disbarred for not complying with the 9-0 Supreme Court ruling to return Mr. Garcia from El Salvador.

to me, if i was an ice agent or police officer or anything like that, i would think about what happens after. because whether it's 4 years or 40, there will be an after. they made movies and tv shows about the guys who hunted down 80 year old nazis. there'll be an after

Thrilled to share that CEMETERY KIDS DON'T DIE Vol 1 was shortlisted for the 2025 Prix Aurora Award for Best Graphic Novel/Comic! Thank you to the Canadian Science Fiction & Fantasy Association (CSFFA) for this recognition! @oni-press.bsky.social @danielirizarri.bsky.social @gegeschall.bsky.social

Here’s a toast to @rdouek.bsky.social, baring his soul and wearing his heart on his sleeve in a way most comic creators seldom do. Give this a read. You’ll be glad you did. 🍻

Honestly this was a tough thing for me to write, but there were some things i felt like i needed to share. Worth a read, I promise. open.substack.com/pub/richdoue...

Just clarifying, though this is not difficult to grasp: Anyone working on an industry project with a notorious transphobic bigot is OK with transphobic bigotry. The end.

Look, I get that podcasting is neither free nor cheap, but if your solution is to allow a 40 second ad break every ten minutes - and one that will pop in mid-sentence at that - then this is the last time I'm listening to your podcast.

Jason Statham films ranked in order of how specific his job title is.

I am quite literally Here For This right now.

Once again remembering that - when scripting dialogue, especially when tipping into an emotionally explosive exchange - cutting out the ANSWER to a leading question can make a world of difference. Let the character who asked figure it out in real time and then EXPLODE.

Damn. Nicky Katt. He was one of those Gen-X actors who was so frequently just THERE, in maybe a scene or two, and stole the whole show. I recently revisited Linklater's generally forgotten SUBURBIA, and he was such a presence. Amazing. RIP.

Other books of his get well-deserved love, but DC VS VAMPIRES continues to be @ashcanpress.com having the most fun. The pairing with the great Otto Schmidt makes this one of my favorite reads month-after-month.

The only AI generated artwork I want to see.

John Milius is 81. Walter Sobchak in The Big Lebowski was partly based on the Coens’ friend, the mercurial & brilliant Milius, thus creating one of the greatest movie characters ever. ‘This is not ‘Nam. This is bowling. There are rules.’

Ambassador Spock modeling the proper “fuck you, make me” response to intimidation tactics. Our current-day institutions could learn a lot from him.

Tom Cruise rn

After many years of impassioned calls for an Oscar recognizing the art of the stunt, the film academy has decided to give it an official award.

Reposting because I still love this piece.

Somehow, the future is both going to be a dystopian techno sci-fi hellscape AND we're gonna have coal and measles and robber barons and a permanent underclass. Philip K. Dickens

This is the good stuff, friends.

🚨THIS IS NOT A DRILL🚨 Dumped, ignored, and saved by late night 80s television. If you've never seen this film, you owe it to yourself to watch this. I've seen it on 35mm three times and it is so gorgeous, and the DVD has done it no favors. Getting this on 4K is going to be a priority.
