In case you think this is a joke

The story of a thief, an internationally acclaimed animator, and the unlikely partnership that would change the trajectory of their lives - and mine. 💚

"MIYAZAKI'S LUPIN" is big, it's back, and it's covered in cracks.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

Here’s the video of the incident

The reverb 🤌

Jesus fucking Christ. I'm used to a dull, limited definition of "the blues" that thinks it all springs from Robert Johnson and doesn't include, say, Mamie Smith or Lonnie Johnson or Charles Brown or Dinah Washington in its canon, but that's actually a million times better than this.

The most accurate recreation of DS9 I've seen.

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it).

But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

The shadow of Ultraman is long in Japan.

Japan has a wrestling camp for kids where at the end they have a show match in front of their parents to show off what they learned.

Thought you'd enjoy this.

Out of curiosity, have you read Kaijumax? It's world's away from either of these projects, but pretty fantastic as well.

You really can't beat Cowan and Sienkiewicz. Two artists made for each other.

I was on the same discussion board as him way back when and remember when the news broke. I'm glad for the Milestone Compendiums, but man, I would kill for an Icon solo collection.

As someone who isn't a 4k enthusiast, I would love to know if we'll ever get standard Blu Ray editions of these releases. I don't want to overpay for the 4k when I don't have a 4k TV or player.

the movie poster for Midsommar with the young woman wearing a floral laurel around her head and crying is replaced by the face of Ernest P. Worrell from the Ernest movies making one of his trademark contorted expressions with one eye pointing inward and one looking at the camera and his mouth twisted into an O-face with an Elvis lip curl. The poster says "Ernest Goes to Midsommar" in the comic sans-esque "Ernest goes to" font in red with a yellow drop shadow and the original serif "Midsommar" font in a weathered off-white

this is why I pay for photoshop

That is pretty much how the space program started.

Hang onto this image of CDC's full list of underlying conditions tied to severe risk of COVID.

If you're an adult aged 18-64, RFK Jr. is now making you show some proof of one of these underlying conditions in order to get a COVID vaccine.

Look, it’s definitely in a smoke filled alleyway in New York City at around midnight and a couple of trash cans got knocked over in the process 😂

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without AI, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think AI can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an AI and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth. SHAPIRO: You would rather put a gun in your mouth?

SHAPIRO: You would rather put a gun in your mouth? SIMON: I mean, what you're saying to me, effectively, is there's no original way to do anything and... SHAPIRO: No. SIMON: Yes, you are. SHAPIRO: That seems like a kind of absolutist take. SIMON: Not only I think is it a fundamental violation of the integrity of writers and also of copyright to - you know, when I sold all the scripts I sold, you know, 150 to HBO and, you know, maybe another 50 to NBC, I didn't sell them so that they could be thrown into a computer with other people's and be used again by a corporation. So... SHAPIRO: So would you ever agree to a contract that saw any role for AI at all? SIMON: No. I would not. SHAPIRO: Huh.

Kitty looking at a woman in a black leather costume that covers her face. Kitty's thoughts: And, besides, we're room-mates. Take more n' a mask to disguise you from me, Rachel Summers.

Kitty Pryde be like, "I know Rachel Summers' body like the back of my hand. No way could she fool me by covering her entire face!" Extremely hetero.

She doesn’t need a hero, she is the hero we need. 🤩
