I don't have very many followers, but it's never a bad time for follower curation. Trans rights are human rights. Disabled folks deserve respect. Nazi's can f*ck off. Pineapple is an acceptable pizza topping in certain circumstances.

Who ya gonna call? 8x10 prints in stock! #godzilla #ghostbusters #kaiju #gmk

For spooky month I watched the 2025 version of Dracula directed by Luc Besson. Possibly the worst adaptation of Dracula I've ever seen. Bottom 5 at least, and at this point I've watched like... 40 of them?

I'[m glad the creatives over at WOTC Are unionizing. It;s a good thing. But... the company is still evil, and working for the company is still condoning that companies behavior. Union or not, Hasbro doesn't deserve our money. Don't let the corpos use the union to wash the companies image clean.

Anyone who shows up at my house gets a full scoop out of the candy chest. Whatever age, adults included. I bought this candy to being some people joy, damnit!

JON STEWART: “So in the FUTURE we WILL use A.I. to cure diseases… but right now it’s mostly murder, surveillance, and surge pricing for the McRib — What a trade! I’m getting the sense you guys might be full of shit.”

If you want to give your peanut butter cookies a little extra pop. Add in some finely chopped hazelnuts. It's real good.

JRR Tolkien: You paint that picture of the key scene from the Two Towers where Frodo and Sam fight Gollum? Donato Giancola: Sure did, Ron, real fuckin' sexy just like you asked. JRRT: What.

"Even bad pizza is still pretty good" No. You just haven't had bad enough pizza yet. There's pizza out there being served so vile it will make you question life. What I'm saying is respect Little Caesars

I just cooked up some lovely braised pork and broccoli to put over rice. I would really like to know if it's good, but because of this damned cold I can't taste it! Sigh. At least it's nutritious.

Just watched "Videodrome" for the first time. ... Long live the new flesh.

While my thoughts on pizza are manifold and impossible to summarize in one skeet. I will say that Detroit style is the best to make at home in a normal oven.

I misread that as "Klingon Hearts" and I suddenly wish we had a long running Klingon Soap opera. Human soap operas are all about melodrama, vengeance, forbidden love, evil twins and sudden betrayals. Klingons would love that sh*t, and a Klingon made soap would just be balls to the wall awesome.

Er... I've been told both that I'm terrifying, and that I'm a teddy bear. So... Split the difference at a 5?

The Tism says i have to be uber specific about this so here goes. I like very strongly brewed coffee mixed with an even amount of milk. 1-2 for sandwiches. 3-4 for eating with butter or Jam and 5 for welsh rarebit. Ill eat anything 2 and rightward without complaining.

Ahhh, the perfect banger to slap on in the background while I make mecha. (Also, artist is Venjent, they're amazing, go follow them youtube.com/@venjent )

Watching "Masters of the Universe" (2026) since it's out on streaming. It's honestly kind of sad. This film is deeply ashamed of the material that it's trying to cash in on.

All three hosts eliminated, like one of those parties where the only people who live there are already asleep somewhere unseen. The world will now raid the grandpa's liquor cabinet of America

Normally I don't repost info-hazards but this one is clever enough to be worth it.

Today was a good day. Went to a local indie comic expo. Saw some friends I don't get to see often. Bought some stickers, from artists as said expo. Decorated my shotgun with some of said stickers. Yup. A good day.

C.J.Henderson was an absolutely amazing dude. I saw him at conventions a few times. The man had a love of the craft and a love of stories that was immediately evident and positively infectious. He made me excited to read not just his work, but all kinds of other works as well. I miss him.

Used bookstor finds! I've never heard of this book, probably because it came out before I was born. It's a fantasy comedy and it's illustrated by the great Phil Foglio so it's bound to be right up my alley!!

Used bookstore finds!!! Small press graphic novel. Signed both the author and artist. Someone bought it at a convention back in 2010.

Just watched "Night Patrol". Pretty good stuff. Good enough for that it's legitimately aggravating that it's not better. Good cinematography, good sound, and some great performances, let down by some questionable screenwriting and directing choices. Still... 6/10. Worth a watch or two.

There have been numerous changes to the American workplace over the past few decades that have made life much, much more difficult for neurodiverse people in particular. It's infuriating.

rt if u hate nazis and love boobs

Making your own hummus is both easy, and really friggin tasty. Especially if you make a few personalized alterations... Like say an extra clove of garlic and a tablespoon of Cholula. I call it "Angry Hummus".

Just finished the first short story in "Beating hearts and Battle Axes". Hot damn. That's good stuff. I think I shall have to limit myself to one story a day or I'll kill the whole compilation right now.

Oh wow. That's absolutely horrible. I should hate that... But I don't. That is gnarly as hell in all the best ways. I can't call it beautiful, but I can call it very, very well made. Well done.

A fantasy short story compilation with an American Hockey League ticket in it as the bookmark. Sometimes you see something and it just feels right. I'm gonna call my dad.

Oof. I just read your post in the most uncharitable, pedantic way possible, and I gotta tell ya: it's not looking good for you.

I'm not a Pokemon guy but I kind of hope that new little dog evolves into bigger and rounder forms until it's just a Katamari.

Oof. Big oof.

I like when Musicians use AI art for their albums. It makes it so much easier for me to know who to ignore. If you can't be assed to get real art for your cover, why would I expect you would bother to put real music inside it?
