It's HUMBLE YOURSELF BEFORE COMICS, so we reviewed a film, AGAIN. Don't worry there's also comics in there but like, the big headline is I saw a film and I talked about it because it was kinda related to comics. SORRY! buttondown.com/humbleyourse...

the fact that so much of James Gunn's DC Studios works are about Tunes and Music and Bands is maybe his biggest gesture towards Grant Morrison, in this essay I will

watching vids of the 20th Anniversary Macintosh, that's how apple-pilled I am; I think PCs just made me forget that computers could actually be great

The nation-state is an outdated idea and its institutions should be abolished by any means necessary for the betterment of humanity as a whole; this applies to the X-Men, for more, pay me

X-Men Don't Need Britches 💙💛 @rphutch1975.bsky.social · 8h

What's an opinion about X-Men that'll get you sent to jail? Is Jean really interesting or really boring? Should Logan have stayed dead? Do you think a certain x-mens outfit is positively horrendous even though people seem to love it?

The Brood Saga is better than Dark Phoenix imo 🤷

also yeah in the final accounting

brat and it's completely different > brat

unless you're completely heartless, you've realized by now that brat is really an album about disassociating at the club; which is great! it's just not really bratty; this, on the other hand? oh this is as brat as it gets, with the assist from a certified brat and playful sexual tension throughout

the guy from wheatus turned 52 over the weekend: at what age do you think him singing "teenage dirtbag" is gonna stop getting funnier?

The Whole 'Being ElNarez' Thing, Pt. 2 @elnarez.bsky.social · 19h

you gotta admit it: Steve Jobs, that guy, he was wrong about many things but he was entirely correct about what a computer ought to be

The Whole 'Being ElNarez' Thing, Pt. 2 @elnarez.bsky.social · 19h

watching videos about the nextcube and it's tripping me up how much modern computing owes to this thing; besides how big and stupid it is and how underpowered everything is everything else about it has remained nearly as is; an imac today is just a nextcube with all the fat trimmed

god the nobel prize in economics usually offends me but this one plain and simple pisses me off

NOBEL PRIZE IN ECONOMICS AWARDED TO PHILIPPE AGHION FOR "EATING PAINT"

The Whole 'Being ElNarez' Thing, Pt. 2 @elnarez.bsky.social · 1d

the best way to understand my beef with economics as a field is to read *ANYTHING* about economics; fake science for dumb assholes, pure neoliberal ideology passing its doctrine as rational, fuck the Royal Bank of Sweden for imposing itself and pretending it's something that matters

The Whole 'Being ElNarez' Thing, Pt. 2 @elnarez.bsky.social · 1d

SEE THE CALLBACK WORKS BECAUSE THEY JUST AWARDED THE ECONOMICS PRIZE TO THE COMPLETE DIPSHIT THAT ADVISED MACRON ON HIS ECONOMIC POLICY AND DRAGGED FRANCE THROUGH AN INSTITUTIONAL CRISIS BALLOONING INTO AN ECONOMIC CRISIS

Slutty, triumphant and at least a little bit demented, Kesha takes a chopped-up accordion sample and builds a ludicrous song out of it where every other line is completely iconic, all delivered with either implacable swagger or the most camp dramatics imaginable, with the end result being pure joy
