The retelling of Hulk’s origin in his 1st solo issue has 2 panels where Hulk seems uncharacteristically murdery.

Remember, if you’re hurled into a plate glass window with enough force to shatter it, just stick your arms out and you should be fine!

The podcast Behind the Bastards had a few episodes where they read and dunked on his action novel “True Allegiance.” Pretty fucking hilarious.

Prologue from the original Star Wars movie novelization. Relatable content!

Deranged!

Buy a set of metric and a set of SAE hex wrenches. They’re small and cheap.

I don’t need this uncanny valley android to tell me what I already know from personal experience!

I finally got on the right meds less than a week before everything shut down in 2020. It felt like a superpower to be equanimous as everyone else melted down. Didn’t last forever though. In the last few months we’ve had to change the mix to try and keep up with [gestures vaguely].

i know the 'Irish stock market' is a real thing but it sounds vaguely racist to me. like it's what the Americans call a board behind the bar with all the drink prices on it

Thank you Chris Knight for whatever contribution your character may have had in that.

You will be missed.

Real Genius has been important to me since adolescence, inspiring me to learn and create and to seek a balance of work and fun. The movie is about grad students working with lasers. Decades later, I'd stumble into fulfilling work with lasers for ForgeGreensboro.org and @lasersteve.bsky.social.

I have been skeptical since November 6 that we'll have anything resembling free and fair elections for the foreseeable future. Not that I'll shut up or stop acting up about what's going on, mind you

Very sad to hear about Val Kilmer. I know he's been unwell for several years now so it's not a particular surprise and may in fact be a blessing after a long ordeal, but that doesn't make the news much easier to take.

I was a fan from his first starring roles, in Top Secret and Real Genius.

Oh my!

Never got the appeal of fancy Lego sets for adults. Then I saw a Lego Space Battleship Yamato. Suddenly I’m interested. Then I see it’s something called a MOC. Then I learn there’s a whole ecosystem for buying custom sets of bricks for custom builds and I’m like “Step back from the precipice NOW!”

Never seen it. Marketing didn’t appeal to me as a young adult. As a fifty-two year old, in today’s burgeoning hellscape, should I watch it for the first time? And for context, I’m a lover, not a fighter.

“Thus our saga ENDS—as ALL such quests must end—with TYRANNY destroyed—with FREEDOM TRIUMPHANT—forevermore!”

“If HYDE created the potion…he must have ALSO created an ANTIDOTE!”
Why? Why would he do that?
But, of course, he did indeed do that. Because reasons.

Uh, yeah. Some of y’all didn’t grow up watching Star Blazers and it shows.

Add me to the list of people just hearing about this now. I watched the first two docuseries on PBS back in the day, and they were vital, necessary viewing (Yes, I was a kid then. My parents committed to educating us re: the necessity and history of the civil rights movement). I'll be watching this!

Maybe it flew under the cultural radar because the characters had been a heterosexual couple in a past life? Maybe because it was a syndicated show? Maybe because it was science fiction?

Rewatching ‘90s Trek lately and just got to the 1995 DS9 episode “Rejoined.” I was shocked to realize that actress Terry Farrell shared a passionate kiss with another woman onscreen 18 months before Ellen DeGeneres did.

From an email I received today about a part we need for one of the lasers at the makerspace.

“According to Trump's latest policy, All the products shipping from China cause tariff. We have declare 43USD for this goods,When the goods arrive at US Customs,DHL will contact you to pay the tariff.”

This was a rough panel to read in this moment.

Oops 😬
