Was so happy to have @denizcamp.bsky.social & @javierrodriguez.bsky.social sign this magnificent book at NYCC. My favourite in the Absolute line.

After the signing we also both walked away saying what incredible sweet people Javi and Deniz are. So refreshing

And Deniz’s t-shirt game was STRONG!!!

I mean beyond that, she was having an affair with a source and article subject without telling her editor. Even if he didn't go on to be the nazi health minister that'd still be a firing offense

I bet you're thinking I'd use this opportunity to give John Constantine an actually good movie. But no. There's no better tribute to that depressed Scouse chainsmoker than a forgettable Keanu Reeves movie. It's exactly his kind of luck.

20th Century Men is getting a film (which it deserves) but so is Three Fingers and Fishtown and Flex Mantello: After the Fact.

I'm turning every weird and non big-two comic I've enjoyed into a feature film.

lets say a wizard has cursed you with a lot of money. you are going to become permanently brain damaged simply by being in possession of so much money. the only way out of it is to spend a lot of money on something ridiculous and not at all useful

what would you buy to break the curse?

fidget toys are meaningless. my child will fidget with the same things I did as a kid: roller-ball mice and the .38 revolver my papaw kept in his glove compartment.

ditto young adult fantasy. I don't think that's mostly AI yet but I'm pretty sure the ratio will stay the same one it is

I’m so sad I missed the final TGAA stream 😭 I’ve been binge watching them since April and wanted to thank @onsta.bsky.social, whose streams got me through my animation projects. I’ll color it later, but here’s a gift for you and Karina 🤗

the point of this is minimizing loss of life. Killing two million Israelis isn't any better than killing two million Palestinians. The goal is to avoid total war scenarios.

People were doing this about Steve Bannon right after the 2016 election and it was stupid then and I STILL see people running with copy from him about his Master Plan For World Domination as if it tells you anything except that he likes to hear himself talk.

recurring gripe of mine: stop talking about these people like they’re fucking supervillains, Palmer Luckey is grifter bullshit artist who is going to steal a lot of public money in exchange for buggy vaporware, he’s not Lex Luthor. they get off when breathlessl hyperventilating about them like this.

Kate Ross @kateross.bsky.social · Sep 6

The Merchant of Death, billionaire Palmer Luckey, rebranded the DOD the Department of War.

Peter Thiel/Palantir gave his company, Andruil, a billion dollars in January.

This is Palmer “I love killer robots” Luckey.

Origin story on rename below, as well as him hanging out with the worst people.

and medicine is important research, of course. But a doctor doesn't care if you're at 110 IQ or 125 IQ. Both mean a healthy fulfilling life for the patient

oh yeah. they've completely abandoned long term chemical effects leaving it to just medicine. which is wild since Lead Theory and the effects of industrial runoff are all well documented. You could have engineered fallout's mentats by now going down that chain

Genuinely: Paywalling content is not a thing I love doing. I'd rather create in a world where writers & artists could share our stuff literally freely. The Flytrap is cooperatively owned by its founders, who put in a ton of as-yet unpaid work to produce ALL our content—including one free post/month.

The Flytrap @theflytrapmedia.com · 18h

We do have a paywall, and that's because journalism has a cost. We pay all our contributors 0.50c a word & the founders haven't been compensated for the year, so we do ask for people to pay for our content. We still haven't made a profit this year, so we are unapologetic about that.

NEW! After the initial introduction of intimacy coordinators to film & TV productions following #MeToo, the industry seems to have soured on the position. Do intimacy coordinators stifle creativity? Do they keep actors safe? Erica W Smith investigates:

okay now that I've read some of these quote posts I must add my actual most normal opinion that everyone insists is extreme

Reading for fun doesn't make you a reader. And that's okay. The industry would go under if it had to live off people reading for the art of it.

What's your totally ordinary opinion about books that you nonetheless find compelled to share when asked on a social media site such as this one for your most extreme/unhinged/hottest takes?

I'll go first: manga is popular among young people because manga often features young people.
