Why is TASK a 7 episode pretty good tv show when it could have been a really good 2.5 hour movie

i will be in the comic shop day one to read the gospel of swamp thing. swamp Thing meets the lord

Halloween Ends is like the stealth best Stephen King film adaptation! I think it’s so much fun and I couldn’t believe how many people seemed to hate it when it came out, especially after how disappointing I found Halloween Kills

the city of los angeles burned in january in part because of a man who couldn’t stop generating images of burning cities on ChatGPT, and then after he lit the fire he asked if the fire he started was his fault

jackson you are correct that this is terrible but I can't disconnect the bad part of my brain that wants to roll around in that sorta discourse like a pig in the mud

why can’t we have a Twitter that people I like to follow are on that isn’t run by tech poisoned dorks? is this that meme about pick two and the third point of the triangle is “not mastodon“

They should have let hugh jackman sing in wolverine vs deadpool

apropos of nothing, just remembering the time a Google Docs full of sexual assault allegations was circling in a tech mailing list and open source pioneer Richard Stallman started posting that he simply couldn’t read or refute any of the claims against a peer because Google Docs isn’t open software

crushed by a redwood tree in the middle of a baseball game in an act of anti-labor violence - Blarple.net a review of Thomas Pynchon’s Vineland

still turning over my thoughts on ONE BATTLE - if you are confused about the shape that whole thing takes, I wrote up my take on VINELAND last month and just fixed the thumbnail!

happy tuesday! I’m on the lookout for more podcasts that discuss comics or manga. who’s got the good stuff?

happy one year anniversary to my ace hardware tv antenna, you are a terrible device that barely works, but I will always cherish the Ravens/Bucs game where I had to hold you in place for the full 3 hours to get signal

the guy who put manga in borders did an interview last week, good stuff

computer is good, apps are evil, and while their intent is neutral screens are not safe to touch, the only pure way of interacting with software is through the interdiction of a keyboard and mouse, or trackball if you're working with truly cursed but powerful software, like SAP

the kansas city chiefs are an evil football organization

wish that jared leto wasn’t in that new tron movie because the trailer/pitch is pretty fun and the new nine inch nails single is pretty sick!!

Death Is Just A Change David Lynch has gone on to whatever the next place is. I’m very sad about it; it came at a hard time for the city of Los Angeles, a place he dearly loved, and it’s hard not to think his change of cons...

Really sorry to hear about the sudden passing of Kaleb Horton, a fantastic writer. Only seems fitting to share what he wrote for David Lynch kalebhorton.ghost.io/death-is-jus...

I think I’m gonna go see it again in IMAX now that I know the shape of this thing and am not just blinded by pure hype

The D*lbert Project It was 2013, I was starting to develop a Twitter following, and I was mad that media people seemed to be having a good time. So I thought I’d use Twitter as a way to freak them out. That was my entire...

I didn’t know him, we weren’t mutuals, but I’m very sad to hear about the passing of Kaleb Horton. He was the kind of thoughtful, personal writer I aspire to be, and he was also just a really good poster!

I think I severely damaged my enjoyment of ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER by watching the trailer too many times and especially by reading (and getting frustrated with) VINELAND

Cobwebs by World Champ Game Co. A TTRPG of Truth & Danger just beyond the shadows. Conspiracy investigation and human horror.

I love COBWEBS by @worldchamp.bsky.social! It’s a spooky mystery game where everyone takes turns playing as the investigator, the people they encounter, and the mystery itself! Plays pretty quick, has easy rules that build tension, and great quickstarts included!

I’m like 20% of the way through the run and I’m ready to say that sandman is only more popular than this because everyone’s libraries were able to stock copies of sandman and not this

cannot believe it’s taken me 30 years to read swamp thing. he’s meeting the justice league and fighting demons and robot alligators and going ”oh no!! 😱” at the horrors. this rules

the Metroid mode is like if tetrisphere was good

if you’d believe it, @wheatus.com!! here in chattanooga!!

I got 3 clears on hades and adored every second I spent with it. when I unlocked Excalibur as a weapon aspect for my sword it melted my brain. I still believe king arthur is out there in the snow area waiting for me, like a secret ninja in mortal kombat. I don’t wanna play any more of it ever

nothing better than a tactics rpg with an extra long title and frighteningly high chapter number. thank you kaga-san
