BrooklynVegan, Alt Press, et al being unceremoniously shut down by a company owned by the guys from Good Charlotte that’s also owned by Live Nation is a plot that would happen in a direct to video sequel to Richie Rich.

“Chimes at Midnight crew? We went to a place called Mistress Quickly’s for sack once.” Lover of trash cinema. I have a Buttondown now: https://buttondown.com/rjkarol https://ko-fi.com/ROBERTKAROL8064
I think it’s fascinating the media spent 15 months going on about how No Kings was ideologically incoherent and now that it is confronted by the DSA, going “no, not like that!”
Love the ongoing bit in SWAN BOY of Cassie finding Rona amazingly cool and everything Rona does accidentally validating that.
Just submitted to @wwnorton.com and @pushkinpress.com for June 2027 publication: my biography, the first, of Rudi Gernreich, who was one of the two degrees of separation between Karl Marx and Cher.
The spoiler I’m angriest about for BND is that fucking Paul is in the MCU
GHOST IN THE SHELL: STANDALONE COMPLEX doing a whole episode about a cinephile while everyone else is dissing outdated physical media is a hell of a thing!
Something darkly hilarious about how hard the conservative establishment is fighting to make Helen Andrews happen. She’s saying all the awful things they like, but she’s not terminally online in the popular way.
This definition of American citizenship means Martin Van Buren no longer counts as an American.

Was weird at the end of BRAND NEW DAY when Sadie Sink showed up and said, “I’m gender-swapped Nate Grey, Spider-Man’s canonical best friend!”
No, you’re crying to Moby’s “New Dawn Fades” instrumental!
Really enjoying this one so far. Always happy to see James Urbaniak too
Jessica Ritchey@jmritchey.bsky.social · 4mo agoDave Made a Maze (2017). A group attempts to resuce their failbuddy from a cardboard maze he's built, only to find it come to manevolvent life, complete with corrugated minotaur. Wildly imaginative, tactility in your sets, props, and costumes is one of the most powerful weapons for fantasy films.
Trying not to be a twelve year old rn, but astronaut- WHAT- werewolves?
John Jakala@jjakala.bsky.social · 3d agoFound another example of this same panel construction by Byrne. Now I'm wondering how many times he used this same composition with Spidey or other characters.
I cannot believe this even HAS to be boosted. It is essential that we protect and catalog this degree of comic history.

Pitchfork reviewing Ween & Primus the same weekend… that office must smell like airplane glue and Scotchgard rn.
SLAM FRANK is about to replace Chapo as the NU-related thing I know ppl from and am also afraid to mention!
Really crazy how serious writers are writing books about tech billionaire geniuses who are complicated and flawed, but human, and then the same types in reality are just comic book supervillains.
Honestly, I think it’s awesome a bunch of ppl are fighting about whether THE ODYSSEY is good or not for academic reasons.
This is why I tell my son every morning to watch out for cassowaries. We live in North America.

GAINESVILLE, FL (AP): local historian begs nation to stop making their work topical, prescient, and relevant.
To be fair, I was this close to using the Tim Robinson hot dog meme as well.
In this house, we believe no one is ILLEGAL, we trust SCIENCE, and Henry VII’s lineage are PRETENDERS.
