We soared to the heavens... we looked down 'pon our blue marble with hushed wonder...

...then we told some stupid jokes and had a good time talking about Fela and The Last Witch...

I feel like NASA will totes be sending us a bill for the fuel.

This attack in Manchester is a vicious example of anti-semetism.

It's also going to be used as an excuse to murder more Palestinians.

What a weak, cowardly, pointless, harmful act.

Conor McCreery @conormccreery.bsky.social · 14d

We're less than a week away from the release of FELA: Music is the Weapon! (and when you must rush, immediately, to buy).

But don't taske my word for it - let @parttimefanboy.bsky.social tell you the book is awesome too!

This is exacly what modern capitalism is aiming for - oligopolies everywhere. Then we can have the illusion of competition, but none of the benefits for workers or customers.

As a Canadian, it doesn't get much better than having your work talked about on @cbcradiocanada.bsky.social

Issue #3 of The Last Witch hits your LCS on Wednesday.

It's the issue my kids tried to get banned. They were NOT happy with a narrative choice I made, so a gentle warning, things are about to take a turn....

OK, I know what the Clips 'allegedly' did is no bueno for basketball.

... buuut, I can't help but enjoy the fact that all these mega-rich owners who live by the "wealth=right" mantra, have their knickers in a twist, because someone even wealthier than THEY are is playing by their own set of rules.

The best part of this whole Kawhi-Aspiration thing? The fact there is a plastic water bottle in front of Steve Balmer as he and Joe Sanberg of Aspiration rave about how being a Clips fan means you're making a conscious choice to fight climate change... 😂

One nice thing about following the Jays while in Europe???

Not having to live through watching this bullpen pitch-by-pitch. I know they grade out more middle-of-the-pack than horrible, but damn... the five minute summary videos are stressful enough!

I'm not going to say that when I finally have 30 minutes away from all work and familial responsibilities that I watch a bite-sized piece of KPop Demonhunters...

... but I'm not, NOT, saying that either.

@loganmmurdock.bsky.social Love the Real Ones (even got a Q in the 'bag). I'm a graphic novelist and myself and @jibolaf.bsky.social have a book coming out through @harpercollins.bsky.social next month about the legendary Fela Kuti.

We think you'd dig it. May we send you a digital copy?
