You can always tell the Batfam fan artists who read the comics vs the ones who have only ever read AO3 fanfiction

Hypothetically, which of these Polar Boy looks (from DC’s Legion of Super-Heroes) for a cosplay? Hypothetically, for DragonCon? Hypothetically.

ME: [complaining about muscle knots] HIM: You should just get a massage. ME: I don’t like strangers touching me. HIM: [staring at me] ME: …oh grow up. You know what I mean.

Happy birthday to my friend Shaun (latverian_lad on IG), who isn’t actually on Bluesky, but I won’t pass up an opportunity to repost this photo from NYCC.

“Conclave” award season marketing is crazy, damn

Haven’t done any criminal law stuff since the bar but, uh, I don’t think the crooked mayor and the cops are supposed to do that (and why is the crooked mayor involved)

Tapping the sign

It’s actually kind of impressive as to how bad of a legal writer Clarence Thomas is, for a Justice. Part I of the dissent (which none of the others joined) is a recursive mess, where he cites *heavily* to his own dissents on past cases. Like, there’s little binding law to support his contentions.

Should have been at the club, instead I was at home and emotionally devastated by a comic book issue about a fictional X-Men character from a series that I loved as a kid.

I hated the government long before it was cool, fyi

Everyone going, “That’s illegal!”, isn’t grappling with the fact that these people don’t give a shit about legality

Twink cops should be called ‘piglets’

Hey hi, if you’re looking to get Girl Scout cookies, here’s a handy way to get your Thin Mints and support trans Scouts.

Next Bond villain is going to be the guy who was mean to Jeff Bezos in middle school.

Not to get all Warhammer-y, but two months into 2025, I understand why Perturabo said, “You’re all fucking incompetent lunatics and I hate you all”, and just quit the Siege of Terra

Apropos of nothing, just a reminder

Periodically play in a “Werewolf: The Apocalypse (20th Anniversary Edition)” game, and I am nothing if not predictable in picking a tribe

Leg day to start the week provides enough rage to carry me through to Tuesday

looking forward to Uncle Ben being resurrected as the new Punisher or something in a year or two

They don’t want you to know this, but if you manage to make the therapist cry you’ve won at therapy and don’t have to go back.

Ready for the greatest of physical tests: assembling and painting Warhammer 40k miniatures.

someone put their pronouns in their email signature in 2017 and now the world's most irksome Boer has my social security number

Men only want one thing, and it’s to be Gabriel Seth, Chapter Master of the Flesh Tearers, Lord of Cretecia and Guardian of Rage.

Friendly reminder from the greatest member of the X-Men that people are crap!

Fellow Americans: When you see your king giving you orders in a thick South African accent, don’t you feel a little bit ashamed?

A three-day old Baja Blast, two cigarettes, and a fistful of mood stabilizers hate to see me coming.

Big and *deeply* unpleasant Nightwing cosplayer turning out to be a right-wing Republican? Color me shocked.

One of the cosplay suggestions I get a lot, weirdly, is Mysterio, and in the spirit of being more positive, I’m turning, “People think of me as a fruity weirdo! 😡” into “People think of me as a fruity weirdo! 🥺”

The opening paragraph of Philip K. Dick's final novel, THE TRANSMIGRATION OF TIMOTHY ARCHER, belongs in the opening-paragraph hall of fame

Happy Valentine’s Day. I only have like 6 pieces of red clothing, and 3 of them are Red Hood cosplay pieces, because nothing says love like Batman’s angry son
