Holy heck god damn is this book a fascinating read. The prologue hits the term “unalive” hard and compares it to so many ways we’ve softened words around death - including “deceased”.

Just a little ways through and fascinated.

In a significantly weirder case, "Sleeping Lady with Black Vase" is a 1928 oil painting by Róbert Berény. It was lost in WWII, and considered looted by the Nazis and likely destroyed afterwards in the chaos... until someone recognized it as set dressing in the movie "Stuart Little."

Yes, really.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

"'They’re spending more money than I would even tax them,' [Mamdani] said in an interview with MSNBC last week."

This is the message. Make it clear that these billionaires aren't just worried about losing money. They're worried about losing the ability to exchange their money for power.

About half the true crime podcasts trailers I hear have the narrator going “but what if this is about ME?” and it really keeps me away from the genre.

Moulin Rouge is a garbage banger. It is NOT GOOD but fuck does it still hit.

To be fair, most of my experience with it was watching it a few times on a marching band bus as a teen. So.

I don't get this. Why does Spider-Man have his jeans and sneaks on but superhero top?? Why is Gwen looking straight at camera? Why is Harry's hand... under his laptop? Why is MJ reading like if the book touches her bare skin, she'll die. Who free balls a book and sits like that.

An outstanding run, and an appropriate button. I’m so excited to get the collection of this into people’s hands.
Here’s my and @matlopes.bsky.social back cover for BATMAN & ROBIN: YEAR ONE #12.
I felt like we needed just one more smiling image of B&R in their tweaked costumes to put a button on the issue/series. Thanks for letting me squeeze it in there @amarino2814.bsky.social @roblevin.bsky.social @dc.com

POSTER: In my post I invented the Don’t Misunderstand the Torment Nexus Metaphor as a cautionary tale

CTO: At long last, I have misunderstood the Torment Nexus Metaphor from the classic post Don't Misunderstand The Torment Nexus Metaphor
"Torment Nexus" comes from this tweet and is often used now to describe the kind of negative experiences you can have with social networks, like getting dogpiled or harassed or being pushed into conflict
