1. Not sure when a new, on-the-record rape allegation against a sitting president isn’t considered news — especially considering Trump was found liable by a jury in a similar case — but it was ignored by most mainstream media outlets

Trying to get back in the livestream horse... And this is about what's we're gonna talk about: www.youtube.com/live/cg7rsr8...

Today on SOLRAD, we feature an Exclusive Excerpt of PAPA DREW A THOUSAND BIRDS by Ahmadjan and Maren Amini published by @levinequerido.bsky.social solrad.co/exclusive-ex...

since WHA is poppin, please look at this panel that helped me reframe the learning process

thinking about what "making art" means to you? read witch hat thinking about what "being an artist" means to you? time for blue period

This weekend on #SundayGrind: Zombie 2 … or is it just Zombie? Leave it to 70’s Italian cinema to get complicated w/ titles. Join us for eye poking, shark slapping, goopy horror that only Lucio Fulci can dish out. Kicking off 7pm (after Magic) at @anyonecomics.bsky.social #Zombie #ComicShop

Yeah, sometimes I wear certain clothes for social media posts... Not my boss leather jacket, tho, certainly not... 😅 Anyway, the team that does these real fun new Frog n Toad books has a new one Tuesday AND we're hosting them Thursday November 5th. That is all.

This video is doing waaaay better as a YouTube short than almost anything I've put up there. 🤷

i really do think that a successful impeachment and removal of hegseth is a live possibility if dems win the senate. he is a genuine disaster.

AABB member @redgoldsparks.bsky.social has edited this series of essays the explore the power of queer comics & why they, in particular, terrify the right wing. Check it out here:

Folks, today was a lovely one at the shop. That's all. That's the post. Get off your device now. Good bye. Go!

And as an aside - you should not doubt how fucking uncool D&D was in 1998 as a game, and how poisoned that particular well had been for a while. Baldur's Gate turned that around, and if you do want a road from D&D then to D&D now, it does strike me that Bioware's needs more credit than they get.

We come back to the idea of Execs who really don't understand art or why people make art, in any way, finding ways to absolutely annihilate those that do, in a death of a thousand cuts and then one big 400-person cut. It's heartbreaking. The western games industry kills a NIntendo every year.

over 1000 views on this thing which is not a whole lot but i think is a pretty enormous amount for a person talking about anything in independent comics lol thank u for your interest in this stuff www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ytyq...

The annual auction to benefit the Ed Asner Family Center is live, featuring many comic book/pop culture goodies. I've contributed signed copies of Dark Future, the Kraven What If?, all 5 issues of Spidey '94 & the Seekers Into The Mystery TPB. Bidding open till 10/29. comics.ha.com/c/search/res...

Yesterday I livestreamed for th first time in over a month... Check it out and let me know if I should get back to it! www.youtube.com/live/Juzz4Mc...

I have called for the SoA to facilitate whistleblowing from staffers and authors alike, in the absence of voluntary transparency. I would also like publishers to explain why, if they believe GenAI use is either ethical and valuable, they aren't prepared to say how they're using it.

The Society of Authors has withdrawn from the ill-conceived concession to the dark side that was the "ethical GenAI" charter because of the mass and vocal outrage of authors. Publishers need to be made afraid of this level of anger too.

Was missing tiktok a little as I counted in the restock...

An absolute master

Hot take: Paramount hates glow in the dark.

Sometimes you just get an idea and, even though your resources, skills, and time are not really up to fulfilling it... You do your best. I'm proud of doing it, even if it's super sloppy.

The British Fantasy Society does not allow the use of generative AI in any of its spaces. For more on this, read the interview with outgoing chair Shona Kinsella from earlier this year. This position has not changed since last week's AGM. ⬇️ britishfantasysociety.org/its-a-cheat-...

Look, this is dumb and badly made but I literally couldn't stop thinking about it once I had the idea. OK? OK?!

I don't think most Americans understand yet what a global laggard the USA is turning into here. Media instead told us that electric vehicles were a fad that didn't work.

When you're chronically online AND you have a cool store with lots of fun little things on display... You make this video. 🤷

This actually might be one of my best reels in ages. www.instagram.com/reel/DefdECI...

When you've been pounding away at something you need to write for ninety minutes and you skipped one part to at least get started on the last section before bed and your first sentence is, "Consider the fruit tree." It Is Time For Bed.

The last 2 days have been very encouraging. I don't know what other shops see but I see a very comic-hungry public that really want help navigating the complicated world of a medium they don't know well. Literally our whole mission statement, stolen from Friends of Nancy: Comics are for EVERYONE!

This is my LCS and they tolerate my visits with admirable good humour

We ARE open 12-6pm today, Monday October 12th!

That gradual spike around 2018 before the pandemic explosion is when shonen jump went online for free.

Good people I live near a smallholding and enjoy observing the animals. There used to be a rooster who had a crow like a donkey's bray, "HEE HAWWWW" all day long, but alas he was eaten by, I believe, "some bastard fox".

watson was like, "damn, this was going to be a nice short case file for a minute, but now i gotta explain time travel using steam. damn damn damn" www.qwantz.com/index.php?co...

Madame Defarge would be delighted. Just when you think they can't go any lower, they sink to new depths.

Defund and abolish ICE. Melt down their weapons and shift its budget to social services and affordable housing. Ban everyone who led or worked for ICE from any government job. Corporate death penalty for the companies that aided them. Citizenship to all of its victims, should they want it.

I’ll be at NYCC all 4 days roaming the floors (especially Artist Alley) and will have some zines, copies of Superguy 1 and 2, and other goodies on hand Check out the link to see what creators much cooler than me are doing this week at the con!
