Katalina Kalzone: Man About Town

Episode 123: Quentin Quire (feat. Scott Platton) — Part One: The Rats & The Children

In this episode, Connor and @scottfree.bsky.social disrespect their elders with Quentin Quire, the cavalier Kid Omega! Created by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely, Quentin is one of the most iconic figures from Morrison's then-polarizing and now-legendary run on New X-Men.

An instantly-leaked internal bulletin at the politicized federal law enforcement agencies just so happens to say what the Trump admin and its allies want it to say.

This is how it works in authoritarian regimes, the cops are too busy with propaganda and repression to actually solve crimes.

Strong suggestion that when you speak out about how @dc.com
Is transphobic and getting played by comicsg@te, tag the official dc comics account so they see it. (I tagged the wrong handle before)

Episode 1: Things Are Happening That Have Never Happened Before

Zalagang!

The Kibitz is now live to the public! The show where a pedantic yapper and a bimbo genius chitchat about whatever the hell they want. Join @connorgoldsmith.bsky.social and @jordanblok.bsky.social as they dig into the latest happenings in culture, dissect the news, and simply queen out.

In Episode 122 of CEREBRO, Connor and writer @planetx.bsky.social traverse the multiverse with Gatecrasher and her Technet! Created by Jamie Delano and Alan Davis, these interdimensional, time-traveling bounty hunters are best known as foes — and sometime friends — of Captain Britain and Excalibur.

The way this made me do an actual spit take 😭

PANEL 1: MATTIE sitting on the floor in front of a bucket. MATTIE: Man, I put all these crabs in this bucket to watch them fight to the top for my amusement… PANEL 2: MATTIE peering in close to the bucket. One claw is raised, holding a little piece of paper folded over. MATTIE: …But it looks like they all just started trading ZINES in there! MATTIE: Kind of annoying. PANEL 3: MATTIE grabs the zine. MATTIE: Hm? PANEL 4: Close up of the zine in MATTIE's hands. The title is STEVEN, THE CRAB DIRECTLY BELOW ME, IS A PIECE OF SHIT! MATTIE: Haha okay this is pretty good

Also after you do, seriously do yourself a favour and go read Paul Cornell's Wisdom mini and his run of Captain Britain and MI-13!

I'm genuinely thrilled it's so much easier to buy wide legged jeans again! I despised the skinny jean era (for me specifically) 😫

Still thinking about this almost a month later 😭❤️

I’m not going to hyper-focus on every action and word of this administration, especially since there are no consequences, but it’s hard to say that the white South African who has been spouting Nazi shit publicly for a while now somehow accidentally did a gesture similar to the Nazi salute twice

your joke is really inconsiderate of boys who are not yet back in town

A moment for the romper ✨

You’ll probably see this screenshot floating around a lot but it really was wonderful to see Lynch put a scene in Twin Peaks: The Return where he has his character literally stare at the camera and say that you should either support trans people or die. I needed to hear that in 2017

To pay respect to everything we've lost with Lynch's passing, I'll be showing a selection of his films in the Deadlights Theater tomorrow from 2pm to midnight.

This day of programming is free. All are welcome.

Yessss. Truly a masterpiece. ❤️

MS: I've noticed that all the way through this conversation David, you've referred to him in the present tense. DL: You have to keep Angelo alive. I believe life is a continuum, and that no one really dies, they just drop their physical body and we'll all meet again, like the song says. It's sad but it's not devastating if you think like that. Otherwise I don't see how anybody could ever, once they see someone die, that they'd just disappear forever and that's what we're all bound to do. I'm sorry but it just doesn't make any sense, it's a continuum, and we're all going to be fine at the end of the story.

Le Carre's TINKER, TAILOR, SOLDIER, SPY is a feat nobody else could have managed. Not a wasted word, sharp as cut glass, but simultaneously murky, opaque, like a silted stream.
