Deep in my heart, although I could not articulate its form, I believe that there's something marvelous about the idea of "Scottish Frankenstein."

My takeaway frrom GDT's Frankenstein was that, while Elizabeth loves all living things, she spent most of her time capturing living things in nets, putting them in jars, or playing with them like pets, which implies that no matter who had the most influence on him, the Monster was roundly fucked.

DSA stands in absolute opposition to the proposed deal to pass Trump's billionaire budget. Healthcare is a right, not a bargaining chip.

Thinking of this little guy again...
Teenie O'Gill, the Teeny Guillotine-y, was a character toy I designed with the intention of (a) building it in Blender and (b) producing at least a few 3D-printed models. I never got all that far with it, but it still felt good to design a lovable guillotine!

There's nothing quite like reading a comic book which is 90% exposition and dialogue, yet at no point is any speaking character depicted with their mouths open or with any kind of expression on their face, and it costs seven dollars.

Watching Sapphire and Steel for the first time. Really had no idea what to expect from this show, I thought it was going to be some Avengers type program...

Just heard the terrible news about the passing of a much-beloved local artist, Dalton Webb, after a host of overlapping medical issues. He was a genuinely lovely guy and a tremendous illustrator. His first childrens book was published in September.

We ended up watching this televised Mousketeers Special from the 1970s on Disney+. Irrelevant of its quality, for some reason they left in all the original network broadcast ads -- Shake N' Bake, as a f'r instance. It was like watching an old VHS cassette. Truly vertiginous experience.

Bluesky doesn't need a dislike button or rude filters. What it needs is a quiet little individual notification that people get when they're the reason why the OP muted a thread.

A funny thing you find, reading old Superman comics, is that it's Jax-Ur who is clearly intended to be Superman's primary nemesis among the Phantom Zone Villains. A former colleague of Jor-El's, a mass murderer, sometimes given to nobility, an egomanic -- he really should be Superman's Doctor Doom.

I hope I'm rated Rude As Hell.
If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Mamdani quotes Eugene V. Debs, who earns a roar of approval just at the mention of his name.

I've got too many over-sized hardcover Little Nemo collections. However many you feel is a reasonable enough number, I got more than that.

Strangely true.
He’s been dead for almost 20 years but honestly it’s weird that Grandpa Al Lewis somehow didn’t have a role in this NYC Mayoral race.

I must confirm that I, who have nothing, actually have a lot of things.
I must confirm that when I get knocked down, I do *not* get up again, and you are in fact going to keeo me down.
I must confirm that my name is *not* Prince and I am *not* funky

I've been trying to quit Diet Coke for five or six years, with little luck, so I'm grateful to Coca-Cola for exhibiting such open contempt for their audience with their AI posturing that quitting will be easy. My health doesn't motivate me, but spite? Spite I can work with.
