If one of your biggest criticisms of the new Superman is the inclusion of Krypto, not how he was portrayed or what they did with him, just that he exists and is THERE, your opinion about anything else is invalid. You don't get comics, and that's fine, but your opinion is worthless.

I was at Costco yesterday and this guy was wearing a shirt that said “my real kid beat up your trans kid so I took him out for ice cream” and I have never come so close to hitting someone in my life. If I hadn’t been there with the kids there would have been blood. A day later and I’m still mad

@scalzi.com I am re-reading the Old Man's War series in anticipation of the upcoming release of The Shattering Peace and I was wondering, are there and "official" illustrations of the various aliens? I have my own mental picture based on the descriptions in the books and there are a lot of fan

Maybe by the time my youngest gets to this age I will be able to understand how a simple instruction to a 6.5 year old of "Get your shoes on please" takes 10 minutes, repeating 17.5 times, two trips up stairs (when the shoes are in closet where they always are), a trip to the bathroom,

Is there a term for the way apps and software companies constantly "update" their app/software to change things that worked just fine just so they can make it look or seem different for the new version, but make it measurably worse than it was before?

So sitting here the the Children’s Hospital waiting for my son to be discharged (still don’t know why he has bled twice now), looking out the window at the rooms across the way and I see they seem to have a lot more decorations and toys and stuff in them and was wondering why.

Hot take: The school could opt to do remote learning every time there is just the chance of snow and I wouldn't be made because I value kids safety above all.

I think about the time S.H.I.E.L.D stopped The Hulk with a puppy bomb at least twice a week. One of the best moments in comic history.

So I came across the box with all my old CDs today and was showing them to my son and he wanted me to play some. I realized then that I don’t have anything to play an CD with anymore. None of my computers have disc trays, my car doesn’t have a cd player, nothing. Blows me away that something that

I am so over people being attacked for doing necessary things to go about their day as a “you don’t care about climate change/the economy/society/whatever moment by people that spend more time hunting for gotcha moments to make themselves feel self righteous.

I think the funniest part about the whole “Gulf of America” thing is that he can “officially” change the name to whatever he wants, it is completely meaningless. Territorial sovereignty extends 12 miles from a countries shore. We don’t own the Gulf NOW,

@elliottkaybooks.bsky.social Hey, I wanted to tell you that I've been working my way through your books, and Grand Theft Sorcery is just really really good! The stuff you're doing with the vulnerability of your lead character is especially strong.
