These guys suck, but I want to emphasize that the people who found news media sites, and then sell their sites to anyone but their own employees, need to have rotten fruit thrown at their heads for the rest of their lives whenever they appear in public

Guy inventing the flathead screwdriver: I can't wait for this to be used by wildlife rehabilitation professionals to gently shuck barnacles off of sick sea turtles. Its primary purpose
I keep telling people this and no one believes me: at least at DC, there is no such thing as “ongoings” and “minis” anymore. There hasn’t been for about 5 years now. Every single set of 6 issues is an audition to the readers for more.
AIPT@aiptcomics.com · 7h agoDC extends ‘The Deadman’ to 12 issues following fan response @martinmorazzo.bsky.social #comicsky Get the scoop:
Beyond hyped for these!!!! Next request: Dredd Compact that has all of the movie tie-in comics (preferably in a format that would shelve well next to the 4k disc...)

I've lived in apartments for the last 10 years, and instead of making room for a desk by getting rid of comics, I just made my desk out of comic boxes! Problem solved.
if you look real close at culture you'll see that most creators come from middle to upper middle class backgrounds. the poor are written about A LOT. but don't get no chance to speak for ourselves. obviously this creates wonky misshapen caricatures.
I pulled out my first appearance of Ghost Rider and yeah, Ryan Gosling *makes sense*
If Flintheart Glomgold and John Rockerduck didnt exist Scrooge McDuck would be a completely unlikable monster. Even Barks toned him down over time. Hell, he WAS a monster in Italy for years until that version of him was toned down to align with the modern revisions of his personality and backstory
Cheryl Lynn Eaton@cheryllynneaton.bsky.social · yesterdayBatman will always be popular because people love the fantasy of pretending a billionaire isn't depraved.
Don't make comics for awards, acclaim, or sales. Make comics for the misfit weirdo thumbing through discount boxes.
In order to reverse declining church attendance, the Vatican has decided to expand outreach to the furry community. Attendance has risen, but the debate over what Jesus's fursona is has led to some new schisms.
The Last Halloween is so goooood

Okay so here's how this will work: - 48hr turn over -I will be editing: *single issue comic script up to 30 pages *Comic pitches from 3 pages up (I don't think I'll be useful for less! *Short Story length prose *Novelette turnover may be slightly longer -Sensitivity reads doable with discussion
Danny Lore@weredawgz.blacksky.app · 2d agoi will likely post something more official in a day or two, but i'm interested in doing 48hr turnover single issue/pitch edits ranging from 100-200 depending on the requirements
It’s a double feature from me today! For SOLRAD, I wrote about last year’s PAUL AUSTER’S THE NEW YORK TRILOGY, wherein a comic long hailed as one of the all-time best finds itself incorporated into a context it was never designed for:
SOLRAD Magazine@solrad.bsky.social · 2d agoToday on SOLRAD, we feature Hagai Palevsky on the successes and failures in PAUL AUSTER’S THE NEW YORK TRILOGY by David Mazzucchelli and Paul Karasik @dialhforhagai.bsky.social solrad.co/cracking-und...
I plan to have a playtest copy for my upcoming solo game The Crown and The Crow in this! I've been picking away at it for a long while and I'm very excited. You play as a line of 13 rulers of a nation, forward and back through time, leaving legacies both amazing and terrible. Also there's a crow.
Whimsy Machine@whimsymachine.bsky.social · 4d agoLaunching a new game jam all about the amazing ttrpg community I'm proud to be a member of! The TTRPG Collective is an incredible place full of excellent and supportive folks, plus cool resources readily shared. I'd love to have you (YOU!) join up! #ttrpgs #indiedev itch.io/jam/ttrpg-co...
There is no version of yourself you could become that would satisfy the people who hate you. So you might as well be who you are.
You know ai is the future because every time a popular creator gets caught using it they have to make big dramatic statements and beg their viewers for forgiveness
First *BIG* batch of Pintober orders just went out into the world! Miss the campaign? Order before the pre-order shop closes! shatter-stained-glass-halloween-pins.backerkit.com/hosted_preor...
Man this is brilliant for a number of reasons: 1. It costs the city $5k to make a bench, so they can't replace them quickly 2. It looks terrible to remove them, so it keeps bouncing between city/county/state/transit to see who has to be the asshole 3. Every passing day shows change is needed in gov
wishda@wishda.bsky.social · 5d agoThe DSA in Wilmingotn, N.C. has created a "crisis" by putting benches at city bus stops, after literal decades of the city promising and failing to do so.
In the "sequels better than the original" discussion, you gotta put Honey Nut Cheerios right at the top.
Idea: We have a civilian leader of the Seattle Police Department like we have a civilian leader of the U.S. military. What better way to have our police department protect and serve than having someone who they should protect and serve in charge?
Erica C. Barnett@ericacbarnett.bsky.social · 6d agoAnd the announcement is now public, though not online just yet. Wilson will hold a press conference tomorrow morning at 11 "to introduce Chief Sayles and provide information on the process for a permanent chief."
btw going to the ODYSSEY cost over $100 for two folks in NYC with a couple waters, a hotdog, some candy, and subway fare. i have concluded that comics are CHEAP, y'all. buy more comics.
Well everyone, it turns out throwing that protein in everything was actually for me, because I should be having 180mg a day. So if anyone has suggestions for protein packed stuff that isn't disgusting or just plain chicken breast, I'd love some suggestions!
Costco in particular goes really early on seasonal goods compared to other retailers for kind-of-almost-interesting reasons related to their unique business model and operations strategy
Aine Yore, MD 🏳️⚧️🇮🇪@aineyoremd.bsky.social · 6d agoRetailers I am BEGGING YOU it is still July stop it stop it stop it
as a straight dude I agree too. it's evidence of a weak will and/or poor attachment to good values, and we've all got LGBT friends or family. more practically I've seen way too many people go batshit fucking crazy down the transphobia waterslide
Max Dubler 🏳️🌈@maxdubler.com · 7d agoSquishiness on trans rights is a dealbreaker for me because (a) it’s a straightforward issue of personal freedom and bodily autonomy much like abortion, and (b) the right is obviously coming after us cis gays next.
Hold on now. Let's not blame the factory when deregulation is clearly the problem.

I want a 90 minute movie culture. And if we are going to insist on two hour-plus movies (the odyssey was THREE!), then I want intermissions
