Crime Suspenstories # 22. You most likely have never heard of it. Maybe you know stories inspired by it, like TALES FROM THE CRYPT or CREEPSHOW. But, this one comic had a bigger impact on the industry than any other single issue.

My prediction that Kevin Smith will reference his own joke and have Deadpool be a janitor on the Death Star as it blows up comes closer to being fulfilled

Philosophers: How can one understand, let alone explain, Zero, a lack, the fundamental emptiness contraposed with existence? Americans: Easy. I imagine a nothing-burger

I would have assumed far and away the most common answer here is Rose. I'm losing it at how wrong I am

en.wikipedia.orgJohn W. Campbell - Wikipedia

John W. Campbell, considered the father of modern science fiction, was the editor of ASTOUNDING (later called ANALOG). He was a true believer in ESP, and encouraged writers to include it in their stories he would publish. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_W....

Dragon Cobolt@dragoncobolt.bsky.social

it is still so fucking funny to me that to understand a huge chunk of AMerican pop culture you need to remember that a bunch of people were just positive that ESP and psychic powers were, like, real

In addition to being a major publisher of "Golden Age" figures like Asimov, Clarke, and Heinlein, Campbell also worked closely with L. Rob Hubbard on the first version of Dianetics, before later falling out with him.

This is great to hear. Like Motern Media, WNUF Halloween Special has that magic DIY sauce that makes you want to make art, because normal guys can create something incredible.

I don't think this will happen but on the slim chance it does I want to be on the record. Astros and Rangers go 1/2 on the last 2 games. Astros make the playoffs with a losing record. Astros get hot, go all the way and win. Rob Manfred is forced to resign in disgrace.

Finished Billy Bat vol. 2 and 🤯

You're telling me there's going to be 18 more volumes of this? How can it escalate beyond the fictional cartoon bat existing as a real force of both good and evil and telling ***** to betray *****?
