I hope the Martian Microbes are doing ok, just vibing deep below Mars’ frozen surface, knowing nothing about the shit that is going on the thin surface of Earth.

It is 100% justified to hate bullies.

The basic promise that America is built on is that all are welcome here. ICE is the antithesis of that. It should not exist.
BTW when I say abolish ICE, I mean abolish it entirely and replace it with exactly nothing. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. That's it.

I’ve been screaming how Tate is an expression of depression, of convincing yourself that your depression is empowering
Absolutely impeccable timing for this. Exquisite. Pristine.

A man told me yesterday that it was important to "take emotion out of the equation“ when analysing the situation in the US, at which point I told him very calmly that "a woman who disagrees with you is not necessarily emotional".
Ladies, it was a breakthrough.
I should have done this years ago.

It’s really hard to imagine how a genetically engineered species could have their genetic engineering altered over the course of a millennium. Bashir likely did it over a long weekend on Risa.
As a 90s Star Trek fan who had to put up with a LOT of "DS9 isn't REAL STAR TREK!" I find it especially offensive when the twerps use DS9 to justify their hate campaigns against the new shows.
"DS9 established there are no female Jem'Hadar!"
That was 800 yrs ago. This is sci-fi. Stuff happens

Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind.
It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty.
Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face.
Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.

I have long been a loud advocate for the opinion that horror films *DON'T* need to be recognized by the Oscars, but I will say I'm really thrilled for everyone that was nominated today. A lot of amazing work and talent in that batch of filmmakers.
Crush it, gang! I hope you get your gold!

Great to see Oscars love for SINNERS (even as my oh-so-cool friends decry it) but I'm also loving seeing a few noms for BLUE MOON in there too with was a small, theatrical, bittersweet treat with a rascal Ethan Hawke leading performance. Also, lots of other films! (Just not 'No Other Choice'?)

Finally some good news
I wrote about a giant-sized 2025 for comic shops, as I talked to retailers like @thirdeyecomics.bsky.social, @capecowlcomics.bsky.social, @commanderking.bsky.social, and more about a banner year for shops that was fueled by big books and a massive influx of new, young comic readers.

Let’s get something out of the way early: it appears to have been a great year for comic shops. While not everyone in the direct market 1 thrived, the retailers featured in today’s look at the year in...
