Every second the murderer is not arrested is another second for feds to hide him in a place that would create a jurisdictional fight. He's on video killing a person. You have to arrest this guy an hour ago, but you might still have time now.

the video is out, there is no reason to not send local law enforcement to arrest the ice agent in question and yes i know they will refuse to hand them over and you treat that exactly how you would treat it under any other similar circumstance

losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people

really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

It appears ICE murdered someone in cold blood today and their plan is — per usual — to create a fog of lies so the killer does not face justice. We simply can't let that happen. The shooter has to be arrested and so does Bovino. They can't just kill people on the street.

This is a good list, though I probably would have highlighted Jonsson over Hoffman in The Long Walk

It's Epiphany, which means it's time for Cuddling Kings in Medieval art

Me, every year. 😅

_At least_ Epiphany. But I've said it before: if I had my way, the tree stays til Candlemas. It's senseless to end things so abruptly with no alleviation from the misery of the remainder of winter. Medieval folks absolutely had the right idea celebrating Christmas until then.

Here is a thread of some horror movies hitting in 2026 that I think look interesting. Inclusion in this thread is not a guarantee of quality, just an interesting trailer or creative team. I will update throughout the year

Today, my kid is back in school, which means I can finally get back to making comics. Boy I really lost like 3 weeks there, huh? But at least I printed out reformatted scripts for my dumb artist brain and a list of at least FIFTY CHARACTERS I HAVE TO DESIGN. The hell, @benitocereno.bsky.social?!

Re: are creator-owned comics and shared universes incompatible ideas
I think they are incompatible except to the extent that some people make their own intentional CO universes — ultimately a shared universe means letting someone else dictate your creative decisions to at least some degree

Some Image titles try to work around this by allowing character crossovers +

The main broadcasters have blanket licenses in the UK for music. So they can basically use anything they want

I need a British person to explain Eastenders’ music budget to me. How can they just casually drop Bennie and the Jets in the background of a scene

Does it have to do with being BBC? Do they just have infinite money

Also does someone get murdered at the Vic every Christmas
