Me, getting ready to leave the house on a very wet morning: better wear a jacket over my hoodie.
Me, after being in the rain for more than 10 minutes: "I have successfully made contact with the Prime Minister of Kamino! They are using a bounty hunter named Jango Fett to create a clone army!"

ICYMI DC are doing a series of...sigh..."punk rock" themed variant covers, inspired by that Superman film a few months ago. As @richjohnston.bsky.social pointed out on Bleeding Cool, DC are just plonking for the tired old cliches (spiked hair, safety pins, et al).

I haven't been to a Supanova con since 2018, and after this I strongly doubt I'll ever venture there again. The overwhelming response on their Facebook page has been "read the fucking room", a sentiment I wholeheartedly endorse.
Pretty wild coming back from NYCC where everyone asks what the convention scene in Australia is like and seeing my "don't even bother" sentiments reinforced in such an incredibly reaffirming way...

“The Life of a Showgirl” is now Billboard’s biggest album debut since Adele’s “25” in 2015, though some critics have accused Swift of gaming the system by releasing 38 variants of the album between physical copies and digital versions.

RIP Jane Goodall
My favorite anecdote was when The Far Side ran this cartoon. The Jane Goodall Institute was NOT amused, and threatened litigation, until it found out that Jane Goodall herself had seen the cartoon and thought it was hilarious.

I was 17 when Cobain passed, and it hit hard, but Bowie had me in tears; I had just got off work when the news broke and I had to sit down in my local shopping centre to process it.
Which rock deaths messed you up? My parents didn’t tell me when Lennon died because I was a toddler. I found out in 1st grade and I cried a ton.
Rozz Williams death was really awful because of how he died and lonely because I was away at an activist training & no one else had a clue who he was.

Good lord, how embarrassing. As if Katy Perry last year wasn't bad enough.
Seriously, thirty years ago Snoop was seen as dangerous, *the* hardcore gangsta, now he's spruiking the footy? Especially after endorsing the POtuS? FOH.

US rapper to entertain 100,000 fans at MCG in September

Australian artists to be added to bill, say show producers
The AFL might be Australia’s indigenous game, but league officials have secured another international A-list performer for the entertainment at this year’s grand final with the announcement that American rapper Snoop Dogg will grace the MCG.
The 53-year-old is an unusual fit with the athletic arena having become synonymous with marijuana during his three decades in music, especially given the AFL is currently wrestling with its own illicit drugs policy. Continue reading...

Despite myself, I saw the new Fantastic Four movie earlier, and without spoiling...I don't think I've ever seen a film where the deus ex machina was responsible for firing Chekhov's proverbial gun.
Not a critique (I liked FF: FS on the whole), just an observation.

I wish nothing but peace for a man who rarely seemed at peace.
He was instrumental in my career and I thank him for that.
Though he was certainly complicated, I strongly believe Marvel, the direct market, and possibly the industry itself, might not exist today without what Jim Shooter did as EiC.

The trial is taking place in Morwell, the next town over; the media focus has been such that people are queueing to enter the courthouse & view proceedings.
If you've been to Morwell as frequently as I have, you'd understand why I find this grimly amusing.

Peter David is the first writer I remember reading everything they did. When I was a kid his writing helped create my love of comics, but also my inspiration for wanting to write comics. Spider-man 2099, X-Factor, Aquaman, Young Justice. The list goes on. I wish I spoke to him more. RIP.
