I’m watching the original Colombo series in order and the episode with Martin Landau as twins was stellar. And in a better world, Dabney Coleman’s gum-chewing police detective would’ve gotten his own series. Legit gave “genuine police officer in the 70s” vibes. Just stellar.

As long as Marvel insists there be multiple X-Men books, one title should be exclusively drama, comedy, and romance—no fights, no deaths, no events (other than beach trips, fireworks, and festivals where everyone wears yukatas)
Asher Elbein@asherelbein.bsky.social · 7d agoOkay, I'm genuinely throwing this out to people: what are your mildly shit-stirring takes on X-Men comics and characters?
Insane that AOC is being quoted as saying "Woke 1 was crazy" when this is what she actually said. youtu.be/SFwAnMLBSOw?...

Again, woke 1 was not silly. None of the things that Black people asked for were inappropriate or unnecessary. Y'all just stopped listening to Black people, and started talking amongst yourselves about what you thought woke was. Then you called that silly. You listen to nazis over Black people.🤷🏿♂️
If you’ve ever read King’s On Writing and wished there was another book on the subject as good as that one, there are two: Mamatas’s Starve Better and the HWA anthology On Writing Horror. Starve Better will do more to prepare you for the realities of freelancing than a college education or workshop.
