The thing about the Western comics versus Manga debate is that everyone uses Western comics as a shorthand for Love and Rockets. That's just one book, not a medium... or even a genre. What about Spider-Man or the other one?
@casparw.bsky.social Love that Masumi’s shirt here is both a Home Sick Pilots reference and a fairly apt description of the cast of the power fantasy!

#ALL50RTS Day 43 8. BELLE AND SEBASTIAN - “The Boy With The Arab Strap” (98) A track that makes me intensely nostalgic for my late 20s with a lovely nodding dog scout campfire beat. I once hung around in Pret just to see if they’d fade out before the wanks bit (they did) youtu.be/dN1iW-ee5I8?...

Tom Ewing@tomewing.bsky.social · 12mo ago#ALL50RTS Day 42 9. JOHN CALE - “Paris 1919” (72) I once worked out what’s going on in this magnificent song and posted my conclusions on Twitter, however I’ve now totally forgotten them. Unconscious forces resist rational capture I guess - actually maybe that was it youtu.be/q5YHqWqhFkU?...
I remember as a small nerd I used to often morbidly think “what if *I* die before that book/LP/comic I want comes out?”, obviously this was a skill issue and I should have been yelling “you OWE me mister” at the artists I liked
Will James@willjames.bsky.social · 12mo agoI'm glad I went to WorldCon today because someone just got up to the mic and told George R.R. Martin to his face that he's going to die soon and started to ask whether Brandon Sanderson would finish his books and everyone started to boo.
Los Camp! play Green Man Festival tonight. 📍 Far Out ⏰ 19:30 (60 min set) It’s the Big Welsh Gig, our triumphant return to GM, 17 years after our last visit. Who’s with us!?

Has there ever been a better first-four-songs-of-an-album sequence than that of Big Star's #1 RECORD?
I don't draw a lot of fan art, but I felt compelled to scribble this out because I'd have loved to see what @al-ewing.bsky.social would've done with Li'l Joey.
#ALL50RTS Day 15 36. PATTI SMITH - “Land: Horses / Land Of A Thousand Dances / La Mer(de)” She loves horses, best of all the animals. Thrilling, intense, silly, visionary, provocative, occasionally quite embarrassing, i.e. everything you’d want from rock in 9 minutes youtu.be/cSk6jfln84A?...

THE HUMAN LEAGUE - “The Black Hit Of Space” Incredible title which becomes even more incredible as you realise “hit” is in the pop sense and this avant-synth banger is a hard SF parable about a song so inescapable it creates a singularity youtu.be/Mkg1OjgqTck?...

Many of this Labour government were indie kids at uni back when bands as dangerous as Kingmaker were singing about bombing the House of Lords, they’ve seen where this can lead
The most important part of republican fascism is the demand you must be nice to them.
Here’s to Brian Wilson, and all the heroes who go on great adventures in their dressing gowns.
In honor of Brian Wilson's passing, here are the four categories of Beach Boys songs: 1. surfing is great, you should try it 2. I have a good vehicle 3. I reach beyond myself into the ineffable, and that's where I find you, my love 4. sloop john b

My Reactionary Views Are Transparently A Mid-Life Crisis (But Here’s Why That’s Good Actually)
Mark Millar being a full-blown ComicsGate supporter is not very surprising but the impact he had on western comics (especially in the oughts) now feels like a full-blown tragedy. There's no real excuse for his stuff that can hold up when he's openly declared his allegiance to fight the "wokes".
A group of Labour MPs, peers and supporters write: “We should legislate to root out DEI in hiring practices, sentencing decisions and wherever else we find it in our public bodies.” Devastated to see how quickly this has arrived in the UK mainstream. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The thing with Pedro Pascal is he not only gives a fuck; he knows he's huge enough to spend all day trashing bigots safely because entire franchises are built around him atm. He's no dispensable Gina Carano-tier secondary guy. This also underlines how most famous artists as big as him are cowards.
Absolutely fuck everyone involved in this show. They know. They all know. It's impossible not to at this point. Lithgow had a CLOSE FRIEND reach out and try and get how awful this is through to him and he's more than happy to take the role and is "curious" to meet Rowling. Absolute fucking scum.
Danielle Froom 🏳️🌈@danifroom.bsky.social · last yr.Lithgow confirms he hates trans people: "following the announcement, he received a text from a 'very good friend' who is the mother of a trans child [asking him to leave the show]... As for whether the criticism has soured the role for him, Lithgow replied, “Oh, heavens no.” ew.com/harry-potter...
