Dear @thekylestarks.bsky.social

I was floored with delight by the loving violence you have chosen in all of the references and shots taken in WrestleHeist 1, truly magnificent and ruthless work... and that's a shoot, brother.

See quoted post!
Also, I I will say the show has accurately captured the rare but particular: "This campaign has gone on too long and the DM has lost the thread while also making everyone who joins start at first level" experience of DnD.
Stranger Things is definitely the most lavishly funded Bran and Bloodraven theory video ever made, but what I really hope is that Chris Claremont is getting a royalty check for the latest batch of episodes.

QT has bugged the shit out of me for years, but as someone who loves Black Hawk Down, I would love to sit down and talk to this nose clam addled maniac about that movie :D
Ummm…”Toy Story 3”?

Really, QT?

@alletson.bsky.social Mr. Terrific is deeply fucking rad and feels emotionally honest in every beat.

@socialistdogmom.bsky.social while it's been a while, I'm pretty sure The Believer is great.
At least early 20s in the early 00s video store employee me thought so; it was on my employee favorites shelf for a loooong time.

You're bound to see people attempting to parse out just how to talk about the death of Hulk Hogan.

There is no parsing here, because he doesn't deserve it.

If you're looking for a con run by an all-volunteer staff, is a nonprofit, and aren't making millions or associated with vile bigots, might I suggest attending GeekGirlCon?
💟 GeekGirlCon needs your help. 💟

GeekGirlCon has always been a home for geeks on the margins — a space to celebrate, connect, and belong. That space matters. And it only exists because of you.

My floppies "to read" pile has gone from 50 to 25, with hard work, focus, and diligence.

(And taking a break from reading novels.)

I love comics but I'm picky, and that pickiness means that when stuff doesn't it, it can be demoralizing, but when a book hits it reminds me why I love comics so much

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. ”Hard mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, or Marvel)

I often think about how much I love comics, and how the last 10-15 years of my life has changed how I read the.

I mean, I'm still floppies, but right now I have like 50 unread floppies in my pile + collecteds etc.

Sometimes I still devour stacks, but my life can't align to read the way I want to.

A question: If I offered coaching for writers--troubleshooting projects or habits, pushing through blocks, leveling up, body doubling sprints, things like that--is that a set of services people would be interested in? I'm doing a bit of that right now, and finding it both fun and fulfilling work.

I'm watching The Order, and and laughing about how thanks to @socialistdogmom.bsky.social I already know what happens to this Weird Little Guy :D

I genuinely love this podcast, and the most bonkers thing (other than the fact there are only 2 kinds of boy in the written works of Lois Duncan) is I've only read 3 books they've covered, tops.

Also, if you didn't know, Sweet Valley High is FUCKING INSANE, like late season 90210 insane.
New! Kelly & Katai are joined by handsomest LoDunc boy, @Patrick_Ehlers (TMNT Sourcebook, @NinCartSociety) for DON'T LOOK BEHIND YOU, the story of the stupidest little idiot ever to enter into witness protection. They talk Mommy Sues, accepting mediocrity, and more!

Bad Karma has stayed with me as a true delight of a read, and the book is a great piece of physical and lasting art.

Thank you for making an action thriller for grown ups!

Watched Deadperine and, that movie would have been way better without Deadpool.
I'm kind of furious that the most pathos and emotional honesty we've gotten in any X-Men movie to this point was forced to piggyback on that tired ass schtick.

And yes, I laughed at times and enjoyed the fight scenes.

This New Mutants book was my first X-book of any kind, and 2 years later when I picked up X-Force 13 and went all in on it, it took my far too long to recognize some of the characters that were in both :D
X-books that were on sale with cover dates of January 1990.
