The irony that the BBC blurred out the Protect the Dolls slogan on a Strictly contestant’s tshirt for their social accounts as “political” but will happily dedicate a two-part doc to the woman who uses her billions to fund lawsuits to persecute transgender people www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/...

Two-part documentary on J.K. Rowling announced by BBC Factual and BBC Scotland

The documentary will use her life as a lens through which to explore three decades of profound social, political and technological change

one thing that’s really funny is that the mighty morphing power rangers know karate and judo and also they each have a pistol

Lena Dunham in HBO pitch writing GIRLS on the whiteboard, then wiping away the S so it says GIRL, then adding a dollar sign so it says GIRL$, then wiping it all away and writing ARLI$$

yknow, one thing about this massive bot farm outtage that's kinda made me feel optimistic, is just... how inorganic this massive swing towards the right we've all had to endure over the last decade is. It's all fucking fake, it was fake from the start, and we know how to kill it

And that means them, istockphotos, all going away basically. Slop will replace the. This is bad. Bad bad.

I already had my hackles up and heard Gillis drop the line and my gf and I were both out. Who the hell talks like that now. Wait wait. I know the answer. Throw them into the sun.

Canadian comedian, Dan Levy, calls out the disgusting misogynistic remarks made by Shane Gillis on SNL. 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏

First: all the Midnight books are great. Three different flavours, three exemplary comics. That said: I was waiting for, and did get sight of a bunch of old school retailers scratching their heads, wondering why the FF title was their slowest seller, and Spider-Man was their best.

If you’re wondering what the vibe is going into the midterms the New England fall fair I went to today had a crochet guillotine for sale.

Man who won’t give his employees piss breaks claims many piss breaks on the horizon

The vibes when someone who is clearly a speculator walks into my comic shop and asks which books are hot.

Thank you everyone for all the love today. There's a lot of great stuff on the way.

Over the last few months, I was noticing less and less books on my invoices were clocking in at $3.99. So I dug into the data and came out with this.

That’s today

From July-Nov 2026, Marvel has published/will publish just one title at $3.99: Generation X-23. Unless something shifts, the Nov issue will be the last that Marvel issues at that price point, with the rest of the line having gradually shifted to the $4.99 price point.

NEWS: I don’t like transphobes and here is a short list of why. 1) They are full of shit.

Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man implies the existence of Hostile International Spider-Man

Mild-mannered Clark Kent implies the existence of a continuum stretching up to extra-spicy-mannered Clark Kent.

Good grief, thanks to a video on Instagram, I've just discovered that the Criterion edition of Lone Wolf & Cub (that I've had on my shelf for about 9 years) has a secret compartment in the spine containing the blueprint for the weaponised babycart..!
