IDK who needs to know this, but...
When you call one of Senator Adam Schiff's local CA offices and he starts droning on, wait until he says "I got a few options for ya" and hit THREE.
That transfers you to speak to a live human being instantly. (You might be put on hold, ofc).
Just press 3.
Happy friday the 13th, where we honor a special man whose name starts with J who died for our sins, and returned from the dead...to then violently make us pay for those sins with a machete.
Fans like me love Lugosi’s Dracula & the movie, but there are shortcomings: the movie has NO soundtrack, Bela has no fangs, the ending is a bit anticlimactic—Van Helsing stakes Drac offscreen.
Worse, Universal didn’t use Bela as Dracula again until Abbot & Costello Meet Frankenstein. A crime.
Definitive is a matter of opinion. Bela Lugosi in this movie definitely created the iconic image of Dracula most people know & imitate. He physically does not look like Dracula from the book, & this, like most movies, pick & chose what bits from the book to use.
I LOVE Etta Candy! She needs to become DC Comics’ Rick Jones, helping one hero after another, until she get powers of her own.
The only thing I wonder is…
The Target near my home in Brooklyn & the one near work in Manhattan are staffed mostly by my black & brown neighbors. I don’t care about the corporation, but what about those workers?
They’re not psychic. A.I. is listening.
That’s a complicated question. They probably don’t care about their smell, but they can probably completely control every bodily function, and they would want their nutrition, respiration, perspiration, etc to be as efficient & physically as possible.
So… sweat? No sweat? Urine? Swamp ass??
I always wanted Sarek to make a subtle Vulcan smirk & say “she will be ecstatic” 🙄🖖
Ageism is out of the closet. & to all who think it’s justified—take it from someone whose existence was illegal in half the U.S. when he was born, b/c his mom was black & his father was white: every bigot ever told themselves their hate for whole groups of humans they don’t even know is justified
Hey @msnowcomms.bsky.social
I like to listen to news after work, and after my local news turns to sports crap at 6:30 I wish I could listen to MS now But @arimelber.bsky.social keeps having these crap guests that I do not need to hear like a former exec from Goldman Sachs. & “The Weeknight” is a no
How are they bringing Wash back from the dead? Because otherwise, don’t bother.
A cartoon from the 1950’s that’s more relevant than ever 💔
Hailey's been stuck at 8 percent of her goal for ages... can we get her to 10 percent TODAY please? <3
Thanks to @splashpages.bsky.social for shouting Crit One in their crowdfunding roundup!
The campaign has entered its last 72 hours so jump in and help us reach out next stretch goal!
Can we replace all posts about our current political situation with pics of amazing giant slugs? Way more palatable 🐌
Always weird when garbage fights with garbage 🗑️
She’s a former student of mine, a most excellent student, artist and person with an excellent horror webcomic!
(& while you’re there, vote for Lisa Burdige @lisaburdige.bsky.social in the category “Best Graphic Novel Non-Fiction” for our book “Love Letters, Every Day”)
Every once in awhile I think about this Nancy comic and it makes me laugh every single time. Absolute perfection.
“Every Republican president comes to office, cuts benefits for the poor, cuts taxes for the rich, raises prices, and then bombs a Middle East country.”
@mehdirhasan.bsky.social explains how Trump’s ‘anti-war’ campaign was a lie, noting the president has bombed seven countries in his second term.
I am working on a story gathering the feelings from DC Comics employees about the recent news about the ownership changes coming to WBD.
If you are a current DC staffer open to talking (even if not for attribution), DM me here, or at chris.arrant@reedpop.com or chris.arrant@gmail.com.
Americans rise up against your government.
Saw this recently on the 24/7 Alfred Hitchcock channel on Amazon Prime. It’s an outstanding episode of a fun series, especially great are Alfred’s intros & outros.
While you’re asking, how about the elevator zapping big gun instead?
I’m done wasting time on a Right Wing troll.
You’re referring to her questions about trans athletes in her book. Admittedly not great. Not the same as actively demonizing trans kids & literally legislating to take away their voting & medical rights.
But that’s what YOU chose, when you didn’t oppose Epstein’s best friend becoming president.
…In particular, anti-trans violence was endangering our community across the nation. Unlike the vast majority of elected officials, Kamala Harris listened to trans people back then – and she took action to make our community safer…”

Ok. “In the early 2000s, trans rights were far from being part of the national conversation. Politically, it was difficult to get any lawmakers to listen to the concerns of our community, and our most basic needs were not being met…
Keep telling yourself that, while people are bombed, children die from the ending of USAID, American women & children go hungry for lack of SNAP, trans ppl are robbed of their rights, & people are kidnapped off the streets by masked secret police.
Love Logopolis. I watch a little of it whenever I notice it’s playing on @plutotvca.bsky.social . Ridiculous plot, but such an interesting tone for the greatest Doctor’s final adventure. Great pairing with 5’s first ep, “Castrovalva”
