I never understand why writers insist on making Captain America sound like a grandpa. Yeah, he’s from your grandpa’s (or great-grandfather’s) era, but he didn’t live through all those years. When he woke up, he’d still have the mindset of a man somewhere in his 20s.

ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

These lyrics, from the Greg Kihn Band song “Jeopardy” of all things, has been floating in the back of my head for a while now. I don’t know if my subconscious is trying to give me a warning or a reminder, but it feels apt.

Some BETTER LETTERER for you. And before the inevitable "that's not how I do it" replies, keep in mind that, by and large, this is how it's done in pro American comics (Marvel, DC, etc.) I've worked for all of them. More tips: blambot.com/pages/letter...

I worked in a local retail place that required us to personally greet every customer, ask if they needed anything, and check in with them every 10 minutes. All it did was annoy and creep out customers who wanted to browse in peace.
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.
