Would it be ridiculous to move to a country where I can buy fresh eel so I have an excuse to buy an eel filleting knife?

Some at the animal shelter has never seen a Labrador retriever or a rottweiler.

If you have to harass •desktop• users to scan a qr code and install your app maybe it’s time to admit that nobody needs your app to begin with. I’m sorry if that means you can’t harvest data to sell and send notifications but just accept it.

Here’s a fun tip: go to Amazon, make a list of all the comic TPBs you want, then take that list to your local comic shop and have them order it all for you. Then spend the next two weeks gleefully waiting for someone at the store to call you and tell you that your order came in. Trust me, it’s cool.

I had a minor cardiac event today. I went to the comic shop and there was a gigantic “FOR LEASE” sign on the front door. Fortunately the store is just moving.

@neguse.house.gov DO IT FOR BOULDER!!!

If you want to rescue a dog this is the time of year to start looking. Puppies are starting to appear in animal shelters and they’ll need good homes.

This is the second time my fonts turned up on the cover of a Games Workshop book and I LOVE IT. A flying steampunk dwarf!

The band Dune released the album Land of the Blind earlier this year and it is •amazing•. They’ve figured out Sabbath, Kal-El, Kyuss, and Acid King and put it all back together. Give it a listen: ripplemusic.bandcamp.com/album/land-o...

Has anyone every borrowed $150,000 to spend three years in grad school because of a random message from a junior admissions staffer on LinkedIn?

If you want some great free music the Cvlt Nation Sessions are great: cvltnation.bandcamp.com

The older I get the more I think that Dr. Doom is right. The other superheroes are just trying to protect the status quo. Doom wants to usher in a new age of peace, happiness, and scientific progress. And end poverty. He’s the good guy.

I just got a phishing email pitching Tim Horton’s branded Yeti coffee cups. That seems awfully specific.

If Tim Cook lets the Vision Pro team knock off the Meta Quest he should let the Notes and Calendar teams knock off Google’s superior software.

The ending of Alan Moore’s run on “Saga of the Swamp Thing” has totally different meanings to people who don’t and do read DC superhero comics. The story of the Swamp Thing can be read as over or just the beginning of something new.

The Reddit “best” algorithm is the worst post sorting algorithm I’ve come across. It’s worse than the Instagram algorithm, which doesn’t seem possible.

I’m going to name my upcoming book typeface “Classic Yet Modern” so people have to stop using that in their font bullshit.

@samanthafish.bsky.social released a new song and it’s great. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LUC...

Just imagine how cool it was to be the designer for Wizard magazine in the nineties. “Yeah boss, I’m just collecting some inspiration for a few feature layouts. I get all my best ideas from this stack of indie books.”

If you’re marketing a product to people who do creative work for a living you probably shouldn’t use AI generated art in your ads.

*NEW PROJECT ALERT* Today we are pleased to launch Neon Deutschland, a new project devoted to the majesty of neon signs in Germany. Join us here on Bluesky: @neondeutschland.bsky.social Or over on Instagram: www.instagram.com/neondeutschl...

They weren’t cheap, but the flights are what’s really making this the most expensive concert of my life.

Sometimes Pinterest is still useful. Here’s a board of comic covers with cool mastheads: www.pinterest.com/pin/supertyp...

Not only does AI hallucinate data that it uses to answer questions, sometimes it hallucinates a different query and responds to that one instead.

I GOT TICKETS!!! See you in July, England.

The twist: Because Disney owns Star Wars and Marvel comics we can have a story about Peter Parker becoming a Sith Lord and bringing Gwen Stacy back from the dead.

If you want to understand what Colorado is really like, someone cut off their locks and is selling them on Craigslist.

ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY KAL-EL!!! metalinjection.net/video/kal-el...

Imagine a world in which, instead of watching a boring football game to see the commercials, people went to comic shops to look at the cover art.

and if elected, my fellow Americans, I will end DOGE's reign of terror and replace it with a new agency: the Government Oversight And Transparency Services Executive

People suddenly realizing that the tech world is full of far right sexist racist wackos: have you never read the comments on Slashdot?

Actual description of a real comic book: “The first edition of Intelligent and thoughtful horror tales with a moral, told without unnecessary gore or sexual content…” The Comics Code is dead and gone. Let’s keep it that way.
