I wish some major media outlets would do broad reports on the impact of death threats on our politics, and on who's doing them (MAGA men mostly from what I can tell), and why law enforcement appears to be doing so little about them. They are such a big (submerged) part of our politics now.

He's SO great! I just feel like they aren't writing to his full range maybe? I don't know, I can't quite figure out what's not clicking for me.

If it helps, he's still around pretty regularly in flashbacks. But yeah, he definitely brought some much-needed levity and charm to the show, and they didn't really add anything to compensate for that loss.

(From is my current mystery box show of choice, and any time I watch a different mystery box show, I think about how I'd rather be watching From--which hasn't helped me enjoy Paradise. I don't dislike Paradise! I just can't figure out if it's got the juice.)

Paradise is a very strange watch which oscillates wildly between "That was surprisingly thoughtful/well researched" and "is this show actually terrible?" and I never know where I'm gonna land.

The weird "artsy" cover songs Paradise uses in its soundtrack have always been baffling, but I think they peaked with the serious, melancholy ballad version of Elvis' Hound Dog this week.

EXTREMELY open to non-games work too. Aside from my technical background, I’m also a published author many times over (comics, prose, and nonfiction), community organizer, and propmaker.

I wish these kids weren't so Apple-obsessed because it's keeping them from recognizing a true star:

Still in shock, devastated by the loss of Jacopo Camagni. An immense artist, a titanic talent, a good man and a dear, dear friend.
Treat yourself with one of his many superb comics. From his superhero work in Marvel to his graphic novels. Everytime you enjoy his art makes him stay longer with us.

PETITION: Don't Let the Federal Government Regulate Your Reading Not one country's freedom and liberty has ever been increased by banning books.

Don't let the American government decide what books you and your family are allowed to read.

Looking for a way to stand up for trans people today? Here's something you can do RIGHT NOW:
Take ten minutes to get on the phone and help stop this violent, dangerous bill. The linked post has all the resources you need to make that call. Go go go

I've reached the point where I now have a dedicated theory notebook, so that's where my head's at

Even with every vaccine and paxlovid, Covid is no joke. Ugh.

(I'm mostly better, but the lingering symptoms are really kicking my ass this week)

Please read this thread and get involved where you can, and barring that, tell literally everyone you know this is happening

I love Puerto Vallarta and I'm very worried about what's happening there. I hope everyone stays safe.

I'M BACK WITH ANOTHER ONE, BAYBEE

Thrilled to be a part of WICCAN AND HULKLING: RAID OF ULTRON coming this June!

Writing Phyla-Vell and Teddy has been an absolute blast, queer siblings are such a rare sight in comics (especially rad sword-swinging ones) and I'm thrilled to tell their story.

This weekend, a comic fan from Nunavut told me how much having a Canadian superhero from her part of the country means to her.

These are the moments that remind why I do what I do.
