Salaryman Gengar

Oh jeez, just remembered Ellis & Grant creating a faction of mutants who did basically that for their first X-MAN arc (the “urban shaman” version)

The Mark Frost who worked on TWIN PEAKS is the same one who wrote the Fox FANTASTIC FOUR movies?!?

He did a podcast with the Earthworm Jim guy which ended up requiring an apology on Reddit due to statements re: “racial bias”, etc. during Black Lives Matter. He’s the most openly right-wing of the MST3k vets.

Given their similar political trajectories, Michael J. Nelson playing Morrissey for an MST3K sketch has aged hilariously well.

Excited for your PAUL DESTINE/COBALT MAN book!

Jeez, Roy Thomas telling this story and thinking it doesn’t make him look like an asshole.

Pretty much anyone before the 19th century is guaranteed to have a lot of political beliefs I strongly disagree with. So to keep everyone from groaning at me saying “William Shakespeare”, I’m gonna go with a tie between Steve Ditko and Jean-Luc Godard.

Thank god that event is over, if only because you would have bugged someone until they brought back Tad Carter & the Promise.

I remember Shawn handing out bans left & right when ppl photoshopped it to be Shawn complaining about ppl not conforming to his tastes

Passed by a place called Blue Dolphin driving through Maryland but couldn’t grab a pic. Didn’t look burned down!

It was weird to go mostly offline for a few days and then look at the news and be reminded there’s an ancient angry senile man working with the worst of the worst to wrench this country back to some fever dream of the 1980s and 1930s.

As much as I love “Ronald Reagan Cut Up While Talking”, this is a pretty moving SCP remix

I think two things are simultaneously true:
1. There is a vibe shift happening; AND
2. Every centrist & right-winger is working very hard to make sure it remains exclusively a vibe shift away from “the left”.

Thinking of how for years every centrist or right-wing rag complained about “nanny state leftists” & now that no Dem politician is complaining about Sydney Sweeney, those same rags are talking about how it’s a sign the Dems no longer control the conversation.

Oh, I am very interested in your thoughts on that book.

Congrats to the AI bros for inventing “Ronald Reagan Cut Up While Talking” from the horrifying creepypasta, “Ronald Reagan Cut Up While Talking”! scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-1981

Feel pretty sure Chris Claremont wrote this scenario twice already!

… does JMS… know anything about the American Revolution? It was an incredibly factionalized time!

Worst part of travel is how the three shells they give you at rest stops & hotels aren’t as good as your three shells at home.

As a Marvel reader of that period, I think we need a support group… or a class action suit.

I was just in NYC and Mamdani is doing an awful job. He locked all the police in a subway tunnel and has criminals driving a fusion bomb around Manhattan to lure out Bill Ackman!

Preferred: sentences short, narrators reliable.

The story of Braxton Bragg being told by his own men that he had wasted his own army. The Confederates who thought Jeff Davis was a Union agent

Ethan from LOST is Tom Cruise’s cousin?!?!

Signed Dashiki-style jersey with the name “Davis” on it hung up like an athlete’s jersey.

Caption for exhibit labeled “Signed Angela Davis ‘Civil Rights: All Stars’ Throwback Dashiki Jersey”

Was in Manhattan for 24 hrs & went to the Guggenheim for a bit. The Rashid Johnson exhibit nearly had me laughing with this piece.

I love not only that this is true but that Dexter Holland is as much of a Guy Fieri-ass frosted tips goober as ever, he just sort of took a break from the HB pop punk scene to be centrally involved in curing AIDS and is now back focusing on his "Gringo Bandito" hot sauce

I think they’re running various crypto scams and Trump Media, but still!

My mom went to Villanova a few years ahead of the Pope and we joke about what it must be like to be getting the alumni newsletter if you were his year.

I feel similarly about the people angry at pop artists for ripping off (genuinely great) Silver Age artists, but not the companies that actually refused to give them back their art or give them a stake in their creations.

Lara Trump not running for Senate honestly surprised me too. Do they see the wheels coming off? Or is it just too much work to campaign when they can already get money for just existing?
