An Ides of March card with lil’ Ides candy reading Et and Tu?

Fortunately we were able to get to Walgreens this year early enough the Ides kits were still in stock.

I’ve said it before, but it’s as if the vengeful god of the Old Testament actually exists, but just for this guy.

In fairness to your cat, DEVO’s whole thing was wiggling around in a manner consistent with displeasure.

I’m sure it’s concurrent with most media discussions migrating over to Youtube and Reddit -two mediums I’ll never engage with for those purposes. And that’s just a being an old thing. But man, don’t the olds deserve some legacy media too?

A strange side effect of the moribund state of games journalism is how much it’s affected my enthusiasm for new games. All the conversation around a big release absolutely hyped me up to be part of the zeitgeist.
Granted, I’m a cheap-ass who rarely buys full price regardless, but I miss the energy.

“That’s great! Are they also an interesting character?”

“…”

“Do they contribute to the texture of a well-written movie?”

“…”

“Is there any value in their addition other than providing a Leo pointing meme for the audience?”

“It’s Bib Fortuna Jr.!”

I feel like the parameters of the boycott could easily accommodate expansion to include not allowing your black and brown employees to be kidnapped by the fascists using your stores as an ad-hoc barracks.

Yoshi’s sick-ass malcontent opposite, WaYoshi.

Just barely in time for this sacred Mario holiday. To my surprise, I realize I’ve seen very few concepts for WaYoshi. So here’s that. A WaYoshi. Conceptually.

That’s fascinating. I wasn’t aware of her at all, and I’m no neophyte to Star Wars.

I was attempting an Arthur Rackham vibe with this one, which is an ambitious artist to attempt to emulate.
If nothing else, I am pleased with that ogre’s drip.

It was very strange seeing the embarrassment of your own product that defined superhero movies for so long in a completely different genre.
If a pair of terrible child wizards with matching Dorothy Hamill bowl cuts got you popular enough to make a movie, that’s what you work with.

A cat that hates my guts but still wants to sleep on my lap.

I like cats because even when they hate your guts they still want to sleep on your lap.

Heartbreakingly gorgeous and visually inventive in a way no other studio even approaches.
So a Cartoon Saloon movie.

It’s a small poetic justice that Noem be so publicly humiliated in a way so specific to the cowardly, messy-ass administration she hitched her fortune to.

As Alien: Earth slowly and methodically drained all goodwill earned with a strong start, Babau Ceesay remained one of the sole reasons to continue watching. Good stuff man.

Solely because I’m pleasantly indifferent to them, I remain startled by the fervor for Thin Mints. If that’s your thing, great, but it shocks me to be so far outside a consensus.

Mitch McConnell is still kicking and that dude looks like a used condom worming its way out of a suit.
