First thing Fabrizio says about the Vini Jr. saga being how the contract talks at Madrid just went great is too funny man.

Of course Kiyotaka Taguchi used miniature sets like in Tokusatsu production even while directing a hand-drawn anime lol. He just can't help himself. His two loves are practical miniature sets and action choreography.
It's fun to see more people discovering Ten Thousand Swords Against Heaven lol. It's extremely fucking sick. www.pcgamer.com/games/i-desp...
I desperately need this TTRPG to become a videogame—it's one of the coolest things I've ever seen

Think it's funny that guys were trying to run 'Emily Wilson is just against and doesn't like or appreciate action cinema' and she's out with a new piece wherein she loudly proclaims her love for Die Hard. Hilarious. 😂😂😂
drew this so my friend would be motivated to finish the script she's working on for a shang dynasty inspired fantasy
I’d like to keep having a place to live where i can continue to only get a half night of sleep lol
I hate to have to do this again, but starting another (hopefully smaller) GFM. We are trying to start new endeavors, but we need to stay housed until then. gofund.me/f1aa8129f
Funniest thing about that Verge chat on Bluesky is the talk about this place being a hub for Sports because they got some news reporters and official team accounts on here lool. That ain't how it's done. You need the culture--the really diverse global audience, the compmakers, cool editors etc.
This is how playing opponents with Donnarumma as our goalkeeper feels:
are we hype yet (made this title pg illo last week & andrea from design just sent this over)
E-Ink technology being under the monopoly of one single corporation everybody has to pay a licensing fee to is one of those deeply depressing realities I get bummed out by.
Everytime I watch training footage of Xabi Alonso at Chelsea, I'm just struck by just how much better he is even retired than all the players he's coaching lol. That first touch, the passing with perfect technical empathy, the reaction speed, just how elegant & easy on the eye he makes it all look.
To any editors that follow me: I am looking for writing work! I would love longer work, obviously, but I am opening myself up for shorter work as well-- back up, single issue, etc. Quick turnover right now in particular
Check out some early design explorations of Grave Seasons' player character (whatever you choose to name them!) It was tough to land on just one look for the default style - they make everything look good ✨.
Staring into the distance as I wonder how on earth we'll even begin to replace this. He's 1 of 1 man.
Life just ain't the same when they replace your favorite bald man in the game with another bald man instead.
'Go to hell' is basic. 'I hope a thing you liked as a child gets a Dynamite comic' is smart. It's possible. It's terrifying.
Only one man can save Britain from itself now. Bob The Builder.
Basically the height of caricature at this point: Israel is demanding that as part of the ceasefire agreement with Hamas, it be allowed to continue attacking Gaza.
THIS IS NEXT WEEK AND YOU ONLY HAVE A FEW DAYS LEFT TO SIGN UP (extremely threatening)
fun news! @chriskindred.com & i are bringing our a game to ANOTHER COMICS WORKSHOP and this time it's ONLINE so anyone can come! register here. bring some questions & come hear us yap about visual narrative. it'll be fun! boydsmills.org/workshop/gra...
The decommissioning deal between Hamas and the BoP inevitably falling apart due to Israel's flat and outright rejection of it, which the underlying framework that established the BoP allows Israel to do, is not exactly surprising.
Some snaps from this weekend of Kurosawa and the GOAT translator, Monika Uchiyama at screenings for TSatP and Charisms
With Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s GREAT The Samurai and The Prisoner playing in theaters and the man himself doing the rounds here in the states, I thought I’d share my interview with him from a few months ago. A career highlight: inreviewonline.com/2026/04/20/f...

It is a constant source of anger to me how, without dismissing the harm Tories caused, so many people who condemned the Conservatives anti-asylum/immigration policies are happy to defend Labour's when they are actively worse in practice. Bad policy doesn't cease to be bad based on who implements it.
I can't believe I'm about to head into a season of football without either 'KDB will pull off some magical nonsense' or 'Pep will somehow figure it out' buffs. Like finally feeling true mortality 😔😔😔
