Being anti-senseless death and anti-war should not be a radical position.

And yet it always is.

In case you’re just waking up, the U.S. has teamed up with Israel overnight to start an illegal war of regime change, apparently on a presidential whim with no involvement of Congress, and they are already committing horrific atrocities.

George Lucas’s hand written ideas and sketches for Star Wars ships.

George Lucas’s handwritten ideas for ships in Star Wars. I actually had no idea he primarily designed the X-Wing.

I’m really excited about the creative stuff I have coming. My Alani the Invincible gn with James Anthony; my continuing Crom series with Drawnsword; a new space ninja series with Drawnsword and a couple of other things!

We literally know now that anti-trans legislation was pushed by a pedophile ring to allow a pedophile ring to serve a pedophile ring’s interests, and legislators have decided the best course of action is to keep doing what the pedophile ring wants.

When Star Wars named a character Ima-Gun-Di, everyone said it was lame and ridiculous.

If 2000 AD had done it, it would have been seen as keen satirical British wit.

I keep hearing that the Epstein files are so big if we held everyone accountable everything would collapse. And no it wouldn’t. These rich guys don’t do any actual work. They aren’t actually important or useful they are just rich.

When I think of the absolute worst human beings I’ve ever met in person, all of them are small business owners.

With the exception of the floppy hat, this is unironically almost exactly my concept for rebooting The Spider.

As I keep saying: I have no idea why it's illegal to throw your kid down a flight of stairs and permanently disable them and yet it IS legal to refuse medical care that results in the same outcome

I watched the full Robotech Macross saga a couple of years ago and was amazed at how good it was. I probably wouldn’t have liked it as a kid, so I’m glad I saw it when I did.
