Please let the people in charge of Star Trek learn this lesson. SNW may be ending, but it's not too late to bump up the Academy season orders. We can have fewer CGI drones and Colbert voiceovers in exchange for more hours of young adult space drama.
The Pitt got greenlit for a season 3, out next February, and the announcement has very funny comment from HBO chairman Casey Bloys that’s like “yeah, turns out if you just make a TV show like how we used to make TV shows you can have a 15+ episode season every year 🤷♂️”

Just absolutely the gold standard of comics podcasts, and a couple of absolute mensches to boot. Jay and Miles are going to be a very tough act for anyone to follow
Sharing some news that those of you who have listened to 513 already know -- Jay & Miles X-Plain the X-Men will be coming to an end later this year.

@xplainthexmen.bsky.social is one of the only podcasts I listen to. I'm really sad to see them go, especially with how wild the 2000s were for X-Men comics. But they get to end their show on their terms on one of the best X-Men runs after 12 years of quality content. That rules.

I am so here for a slow-burn romance between Jay-Den and Reymi. We already know gender is irrelevant to Reymi!

the lesson here is that everyone should have more gay sex
Imagine if you had told these guys a year ago that they would become torchbearers for the Olympics because they had such hot gay sex on a television show

Where is The Boyfriend Bluesky? This new season is more ridiculous than the last one!
Kazuyuki, let me give you my number. These little boys in the Green Room don't get you. You need a grown man.

Rough House at Green Lantern during MAL weekend is wild. Started hooking up with the friend I went with, then a stranger got me fucking him while like three other men had their hands all over me. All the while watching other guys sucking and fucking all over the dance floor. I love being gay.

Picked up a pass for Mid-Atlantic Leather this weekend. First time attending. Mildly worried I may be biting off more than I can chew but I have to try once, right? Besides, I need a reason to wear my harness, I almost never put it on.
