TIL the Mac command key icon is based on an ancient Nordic symbol commonly used to denote cultural locations and points of interest. Seen these signs all my life, used Macs for decades, never made the connection.

Thank you, my finger was getting very tired from all those likes.

Glorious. A must-read for me.

The original cover from 1988 went hard. This was all that the public saw before they cancelled the arc.

Timely reminder that everyone should be (re)watching Over the Garden Wall. We’re just starting our third (fourth?) round.

A long, long overdue visit with these chaps. What an absolute delight.

#Dustborn

The 2030 #NobelPeacePrize goes to a brave and committed champion of peace – to a man who keeps the flame of Justice burning amid a growing disorder.

Peace laureate Samuel Ward has shown that the tools of Justice are also the tools of peace. He embodies the hope of a different future, one where the fundamental rights of squirrels are protected, and their voices are heard.

Also isn't it fascinating how Dustborn reviewed well on all the websites that force you to buy a copy before leaving a review. Hmm yes very interesting I wonder why that is

We teamed up with so many incredible comic artists to bring Dustborn’s issue covers to life.

In honour of spooky season, we had to share this one from issue #3 by @leocolapietro.bsky.social🧟

This is accurate, and both terrifying and thrilling.

Pressfire, one of Norway’s top gaming sites, played Hello Sunshine at the Tokyo Game Show…and they loved it: “Red Thread has something really special going on here. Not only does it look striking, it was also a lot of fun to play.”

It'a pretty good, actually! But that doesn't matter to the rage farms and grifters. They saw a lucrative opportunity to get clicks and views. But their obsession with Dustborn is fascinating — I think they secretly love the game.

🎶 But it's actually sweet
All the time you've spent on me
It's honestly wild
All the effort you've put in
It's actually romantic
I really gotta hand it to you, ooh
No man has ever loved me like you do 🎶
