@jamieloftus.bsky.social I don't think Mel Brooks would mind; I heard on NPR, years ago, that Irving Berlin used to decorate a large Christmas tree, in his home, every year, for many years.

@jamieloftus.bsky.social Here's something I made for this time of year, back in 2007, for the VCU student newspaper, where I was their one regular, reliable volunteer cartoonist. It's based on a scene from "Spaceballs,"...

@jamieloftus.bsky.social Just spotted Alfred Molina high up in the credits for "Ladyhawk.." If #thebechdelcast hasn't covered it yet, will you, at least for Molina, one of your favorite guys? :)

@jamieloftus.bsky.social Trying to beat the birthday rush, I finished Raw Dog. I read every word. I'm not married to you because I'm way too old for you, and probably too disabled. I'm a walking social faux pas. See? I did read it all. Thanks.

@maryjopehl.bsky.social I prefer riffs done by you and Bridgett, because a female perspective is more original, sadly more rare, and you don't talk over the original content nearly as much as Mike, Kevin, and Bill do. 😸

@comicsworkshop.bsky.social Friday, I think it was Casey who helped me feel like a grandad. I'm with her about primitive bathrooms. At 5, I had to use a log-built multi-user outhouse (thankfully alone) at a state park. Dreamed of it, that night. Woke me up in time. Decades of such dreams. ...

@maryjopehl.bsky.social You & Bridgett: WAY better than Mike, Kevin, and Bill, who talk over movies a LOT. None of you did that in original MST3K. Please consider going back to that. I'm having difficulty finding anyone to watch with me, because all my friends complain "Can't hear the movie!" 🙀

@maryjopehl.bsky.social Just watched and loved your work with Bridgett on "Earth Angel" RiffTrax VoD. Got 2 friends to watch with me. Had to use subtitles (Thanks.), as some riffs talked over the movie, and riffs were much louder than quiet movie conversations. They didn't become fans. Sorry.

@tiedyeeric.bsky.social All I keep up with are podcasts, Twitch chat friends, and reading, so it's great to hear music again. And yes, the drawing for my nephew, Jonathan, is based on a Kliban cartoon.

@tiedyeeric.bsky.social Guests & attendees at RavenCon helped me to subscribe to Filkcast. Just heard my first episode. Ship captain and pirates song made me uncomfortably sad, but I loved everything else. Best to Helvetica & all.

Good to meet you, last night. Do you think a Spawn of Raw Dog book is in your future, with follow-ups, and finally being able to visit parts of the country that were previously COVID problematic?
Oh, and dogs in a kitchen. Kroger released a circular with Halloween-themed treat recipes.

I heard you're going to be in the Richmond, Virginia area, tomorrow. I hope you haven't had to cancel. You're the first person from one of my subscribed podcasts who will have been anywhere near me. I'm looking forward to saying "Hi," tomorrow evening. I hope you get to rest well and relax.

I'm reminded of the story of a farmer who saved money by not feeding his plow horse. Then it fell over, dead.
G.K. Chesterton said "Poor people object to being governed badly. Rich people object to being governed at all."
Look up "regulatory capture." That's what this is.

Fearing repercussions from your government. Fearing the sudden loss of healthcare for your whole family. Fearing that what the government intends for you is mere sadism—trauma without purpose or justification. This is what evil men do when we let them spend a lifetime doing evil without consequence.

@blindtemple.bsky.social I listened to you, today, on the Gaining Advantage podcast, with Dale. I hope that the #free5e program is legal. I want to help.

@echoplex.bsky.social Hi, all. I've been avoiding news, for years, for health reasons, even more, now. I haven't been avoiding you. Wishing you best, and thank you for keeping your eyes and ears on things. Looking forward to the midterm elections and 2028.

<Sigh> I'm going to enjoy all the paid snow days. (I waited 40 years for paid days off.) But really, Richmond, VA area, snow is not so scary. And you're getting so little of it.

@amberruffin.bsky.social And then the feedback (?) tone shrieked in my ear. I know you feel bad about that. Lulz: I restarted my phone, hoping that was it. Nope. Skipped ahead a bit, and all was fine again. :)

@amberruffin.bsky.social Listening to you &Lacey talk w/ Mike Beach. W/ my 99% ADD, I vaguely remember loving reading Waiting to Exhale & How Stella Got Her Groove Back. All I remember is the "Everything's $1" yard sale, and how the betrayed woman found true love with a refuse man. I'm a janitor.

Back in 2007, volunteering for the #VCU student newspaper, I created two comic strips, inspired by family #Thanksgiving. These were part of my ongoing series, Pizza from Scratch.
The fire extinguisher with the weird brand name was an antique already, in 1977.

@drwendywalsh.bsky.social the next art challenge for 2024 @desertbus.org that I joined was to show "A Day in the Life of Deirdre," as the Zeta shift named "The Orb," effectively a Magic 8 Ball with a big red button, instead of a view window. Deirdre starts a "dance party," when button is pressed.

@jamieloftus.bsky.social Sorry BlueSky is also awful for you. I'm mentally ill, too, though mostly in remission after 30 years' clinical depression. I was raised always to act as though everyone knows who I am, always to be polite. Sorry I forget social media are a thing, and am only 1 person.
