Did Tom Morello join Filter for this new album? I swear to god they're using the Bulls On Parade riff on track 2. Track 3 sounds heavily inspired.

I didn't go to SDCC. I still spent hundreds of dollars on it. I'm pretty good at spending money.

@ryannorth.ca I don't see my favorite Canadian writer on any con guest lists, not even Toronto. If a guy wanted to exchange money for your scribble on Squirrel Girl # 1 (and maybe Squirrel Girl #1 too), how would he do that?
I just read you were on Project Wonderful - thanks for that, it was great

I'm thinking about traveling to comic cons this year. I'd be going by myself, and I'm mostly interested in collecting signatures on my favorite books. Should DragonCon be on the list?

It looks like there's bluesky drama. I guess people can get bad words in through the domain verification system. It seems like they forgot to apply a profanity filter to that. I'd think that be a straightforward fix, technically. Apologizing and rebuilding trust with an enflamed community is harder.

I don't understand how I'm supposed to discover people on Bluesky. I have two followers. It seems like this message will reach those two feeds, then it will die. There are no hashtags. Popular With Friends is down, so I don't think I'd appear on that feed. How does this platform work?

TIL if you search "that episode" on the internet, an episode of CSI about furries comes up. Why does this happen? I don't know, but it makes me happy to know the canonical episode of television is about weirdos having fun being weird.

People keep talking about how freaky and horny this platform is. I'm getting none of that. I need a... different class of follows.

I'm watching Mutant Chronicles. Thomas Jane (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005048/) is not sure where to insert a key. Devon Aoki (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1226817/) shouts, "Put it in the hole!"
Jane, "Which hole?"
Aoki, "Any hole!"
Jane, "This one? It doesn't fit!"
Simply amazing stuff.

Years ago I wrote fiction daily. I self-published a book of poetry and prose; I even managed to sell a few copies around town. Then life got in the way. For decades. But now it's not in the way anymore.
How do I shake off the rust and get back to telling stories with meat and merit?

Intro post: I'm a freelance developer, cishet but love that you aren't, nerdy about comics and games. I am on the tail end of that RV Life curve - the one where I say "fuck this" and get an apartment or something. I migrate between Colorado and Minnesota. I try to make 6,000 watts of solar a day.

@jamesthefourth.bsky.social Sorry to bug on a holiday weekend you but the W0rldtr33 ARG discord is wondering if the password in issue 3 should work.
I got a bsky invite to ask this question. Love the book, looking forward to the website opening up. <3
