My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today.
Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.
*nicest
Seeing the outpouring of love and sadness for him today has proven that there was nothing performative about him in the slightest. He really was just that good of a dude

Currently on season 2 and he kicked a car so hard the airbag went off and hit the guy in it.
Watching a show where the main character has superhuman strength but the show itself refuses to admit it is endlessly funny
Season 1 Reacher was kind of a dry wit reluctant hero with a special set of skills while Season 2 Reacher is more of a giant serial killer with an insatiable bloodlust for people tangentially related to whatever happens to be going on with the plot.
I see why folks say this is the least season lol
We watched Obsession (2025) tonight for our Halloween Spook-a-Night Movie and I don’t have any quippy little jokes in the review this time, you can click to see it: boxd.it/gX3NK3
Bsky has a neat new feature where you can add link buttons to your profile so I went ahead and cleaned my mess up a bit (and got Graphic Designer in again finally!) so lemme know if these links work, please!
Check out @stepharts.bsky.social 's dope new webcomic Fox and Raven if you're looking for a really cool comic to follow!
If this was the days of webrings I'd be directly linking to this from Hammerhead with a blinking, dancing Snoop Dogg gif

My first five TTRPGs in the order I played them:
1. Dungeons & Dragons
2. Mutants & Masterminds
3. Pathfinder
4. Something like “Quick Action” or something? I can’t find anything about it anymore. SUPER rules lite.
5. Space Kings
Ayyyy more Looney Tunes, hell yeah! I even see Speedy Gonzales back there, that’s awesome.
Shame about what movie they chose to play it in front of, tho. (I wonder how deliberate that is considering how WB treats the IP?)
Just finished Birds of Prey vol. 1 and 2 by Kelly Thompson and really had a good time with them! Very fun, super cool action, great characterization. The fake “plate misaligned” coloring style is a little blurry but the art overall is spectacular, especially Leo Romero’s pencils.
More Big Barda pls
Marvel bought the rights to Miracleman, a character popularized by British writer Alan Moore. Then turned some schmuck American into Miracleman leaving nothing but the costume of the og character in common with the character. Then they changed the costume into a much worse one. Why? To all of it.
As I said in the caption: with apologies for the artists/designers who has to redesign the costume by corporate mandate to make it more modern, that was a straight up impossible gig and you did the best you could given that

I really thought I’d be done with the colors for today’s Hammerhead by now but it turns out I’m the SLOWEST COLORIST ON EARTH still, so it’s gonna be a little later today.

I tried making a title screen for Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 look like the one from Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike. Adding this to the previous existing elements to further 3rd Strikeify Mortal Kombat. Thanks again to my bro @blondetanamobay.bsky.social for helping me animate this together.
