A great list, mainly because a top 10 SF movies of the 70s list is going to do double duty as best ever SF movie list and have a shot at being a decent “best movies of the 70s” list.

Watching this excellence again, Fraction and Lieber discuss making the magic happen with Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen. The hidden powerhouse here is @matthewbogart.bsky.social, who is phenomenal at editing and producing this piece.

I have these prints decorating my apartment and people always ask about them, by the way did you know that because of these prints that WES ANDERSON asked Bill to work on Isle of Dogs because it's true anyway you too can own something that is good enough for WES ANDERSON
It's getting to be that rent-y time of the month, so this is your reminder that I've got a bevy of fun pop culture prints available for shipping all around the world (along with a new-ish Boy and the Heron Miyazaki/Ghibli print): mudron.bigcartel.com

This is WILD.

In case you can't make it out, Musk's kid is saying "You're not the president and you need to go away."

I WONDER WHERE HE COULD HAVE GOTTEN THAT IDEA FROM.

The Trump administration is scrubbing the CDC’s website of documents on reproductive rights issues, sexual health, intimate partner violence, and more.

I'm trying to save them.

You can find the deleted docs at CDCGuidelines.com - I'll be adding more over the weekend.

That time myself and @bigredhair.bsky.social played Spock’s parents in the theatrical production, TREK IN THE PARK.
CBS did a piece about it, which is still on YouTube. Check it out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KI5...

Hi. We’re a group of comic book writers & artists who are furious about Project 2025, The Heritage Foundation’s plan to consolidate power under authoritarian rule. So we made a bunch of comics to explain their agenda and move you to vote against it. stopproject2025comic.org
Stop Project 2025 Comic
Trump's Project 2025 is a detailed plan to shut you up, and shut you out. Don’t let it do either. Read on, then vote.

This is one of my favorite webcomics, and I highly recommend it! @paulguinan.bsky.social knocks it out of the park with the historical accuracy of this story, and @davidhahn.bsky.social's art is phenomenal! If you've ever wanted to learn more about the Aztec Empire, this is a great primer!
One of my favorite pages in our AZTEC EMPIRE webcomic series is this page depicting Motecuhzoma’s bedroom.
The events being depicted here happened 505 years ago LAST NIGHT.
