Definitely a candidate for creepiest vintage Halloween mask of all time.

Not kidding: this game has gone long enough that the MLB gameday graphic has reset from a night to daylight scene.

*taps the sign* (or in this case, cautionary comic panel)

A few shots of the newest iteration of the Marve: Universe Of Super Heroes exhibition, opening to the public today in Ludwigsburg!

One of, no kidding, seven pieces so far today that I'd share widely (and maybe pay to subscribe to) if it WASN'T ON THE NAZI-FUNDING PLATFORM.

Political analysts, musicians, historians, creators, news outlets, all of you, please get it together. Use one of the *many* good alternatives to substack.

Morrie Turner's pre Wee Pals work is a particular revelation.

A favorite black and white movie? Okay.

What video game do I consider perfect? Like, utterly perfect?

Nothing else comes close.

Can't believe I forgot this one.

This whole thread – support the good people who use a newsletter platform other than Nazi-supporting Substack!

Similarly, here's a screenshot I took on Saturday, August 23rd.

Looking over the official Oasis merch and not sure which model of shirt I'm gonna spring for. #oasis2025

Well this seems really great, coming right on the heels of today's announcement of the reduced approvals for this fall's COVID vaccine.

Good god, today alone I've seen a half-dozen posts I nearly read/shared, then realized they linked to substacks.

SO AGAIN, FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK:

Substack promotes, pays, and profits off *literal* nazis. It's the nazi bar of online publishing platforms. Use someone else for yr newsletters.

Substack is bad bad bad, part #1473 in a series. They entrap, they fund fascists, they profit off you using their platform.

(Guess it's time to pull out this image yet again.)

From out of the stacks, in honor of the 40th Anniversary a couple days ago – my copy of the Doug E. Fresh/Slick Rick The Show/La Di Da Di 45, signed by the Human Beat Box himself (at a show at the much-missed Canal Room in NYC, back in 2005).
