My kid found a streaming channel with every…single…MST3K episode, and it is fukin amazing. One of the best shows ever

Perhaps the best find for me from this years NYCC, while a signed Stephanie Phillips hardcover volume of her Harley Quinn run is awesome, has to be this Trump card based on John Carpenter’s film, They Live, where it’s Trump from one angle and alien Trump from the other

Also think the expo halls need, aside from the publishers and data people, more fan based art and cool/fun collectibles and popular merch

After spending several days at NYCC, I am once again asking the professional political science associations I’m a member of (cough cough APSA, MPSA) to revamp the conference model to make it a norm that attendees dress in costume of their favorite real, fictional, or personally made up characters

After spending two days at NYCC where I met and talked with dozens of artists and fans from all over, one thing clearly stands out when it comes to art and community, which is: fuck AI

Sorry, we’re gearing up for @newyorkcomiccon.bsky.social tomorrow and Saturday so we’re deep into prep right now

After years, I think I’ve finally come to the realization that so many of my issues stem from never having been made an orphan, adopted by a billionaire; and turned into a crime fighting superhero

Now that the Straw Hat flag is being used in reality as a symbol of revolution, very fitting, this pushes me further to consider developing an entire course on the politics of One Piece. Also helps that there’s so much content to cover both in the anime and its influences into the our world

“Gen Z protesters are uniting under an unlikely symbol”

Why Gen Z protesters worldwide are flying an anime pirate flag

Gen Z protesters from Indonesia and Nepal to Madagascar and Morocco, are rallying behind an unexpected banner: a grinning skull in a straw hat.

Holyfuckballs with the “bucking tradition” and noting Trump “believes” rampant crime. He’s not bucking tradition he’s violating the constitution and civil rights of all Americans and rampantly lying to justify doing so. @npr.org is another example of why the US is fucked

Jon Green @jongreen.bsky.social · 6d

unfortunate and incorrect use of an Oxford comma here

NPR @npr.org · 6d

President Trump is bucking tradition and legal precedent in pushing to deploy the National Guard to Democratic-led cities like Portland, Oregon, and Chicago due to what he says is rampant crime and to support his crackdown on illegal immigration.

I’m with you there…that look needs to go away. This look 👆seems more festive yet formal enough for a conference

So this motherfucker unironically wants to punish other countries for detaining US citizens while he’s ordered the detention and imprisonment of US citizens and legal residents at home without due process

Trump wants to punish countries that wrongfully detain U.S. citizens

A new executive order aims to strike back against “hostage diplomacy.”

I’m just kidding. I don’t care for football and won’t be watching anyway I just love how Bad Bunny has set off the snowflakes in magaworld who’re having a collective hissy fit

So apparently I will be watching the Super Bowl halftime show this season for a change, as that’s a helluva pitch

Now that the #Yankees can look back on their complete 2025 season, my advice is to fire Boone and hire Mattingly to replace him

Quick Look at the live action of the #Yankees game

Kevin Baron 🧙🏻‍♂️😈☠️⚾️ @kevinbaron.bsky.social · 7d

They hit the ball off Gausman but mostly pop ups and grounders. I’m hoping with Toronto’s rookie pitcher today you’re right that the second time through will be good. They need to wake up their bats. I’m less worried with Fried on the mound but Toronto’s line up hits and doesn’t strike out much

Kevin Baron 🧙🏻‍♂️😈☠️⚾️ @kevinbaron.bsky.social · 7d

Okay #Yankees …I can really use a strong bounce back trouncing of Toronto today in game 2. Y’all really need a win before heading back to the Bronx

There are shocking moments when I sit and try to comprehend that this administration is acting based on years of right wing propaganda. Trump believes cities like Portland are burning because the teevee foxes tell him so…and he acts on it
