“Doctor, tell them I’m not a werewolf!”
*SMASH CUT TO THE FUTURE*
“Oh Harry, whatever happened to you?”
“Oh, my future self probably didn’t tell the locals he wasn’t a werewolf, Sarah. These things happen.”

Happy Columbo’s Day

Screenshot from Columbo. He his talking to his dog, which is sitting is the drivers seat of a car. “Okay, I’m gonna put you in charge. You take care of the car. You’re a responsible dog. When I get back, if the car’s okay, I’ll give you another cookie.”

Day 286: My dudes, I am just fucking exhausted these days.

A single panel comic drawn with India ink and a sable brush with minimal inkwash shading. The panel depicts me, a skeleton in my normal clothes, sitting on the floor of my kitchen with a cup of coffee next to my longhair cat Margo who is glancing over to make sure I'm still sitting there. The captions say "I am so tired today, but I still must watch Margo eat."
Beneath the comic is my signature (Kat Baumann), today's date (10-13-2025) and the time I spent drawing this (50 minutes)

Derek Jacobi's performance as the War Master for Big Finish has become one of the best villain characters in all sci-fi, I absolutely love how uncompromisingly vile Jacobi plays him, the stories never give him the slightest hint of secret caring, he is truly the most evil man there is

I'm pretty sure this was the first DC comic I bought. I got it at a local gas station when I was 8 or 9 years old. I remember thinking Dove was *so hot* on the cover, and that I'd get in trouble for buying it.

A picture of Hawk and Dove, issue 6. Dove is standing on the cover looking very sexy and talking to a giant robot that is looming over her. She's saying, "Hawk says you're tough, but you look like a pushover to me!"

Hawk is beaten up and laying on the ground just behind her.

it’s just remarkable how much of what’s wrong with this country can be put at the feet of overachieving dorks motivated by bottomless self-regard and ressentiment.

They try, but they made the island SO advanced it’s absurd that they didn’t get the secrets they wanted
They have touchscreen technology (in the 60s), they could literally shut down some of Number 6’s senses, it’s absurd
I also think they went to the Moon in volume 3, but I only heard the first one

Sam Lowe @greenlantern44.bsky.social · 1h

Yeah it just won’t be a thing, no matter how hard they try

Sam Lowe @greenlantern44.bsky.social · 1h

Actually speaking of the Prisoner Big Finish’s reboot of that was another thing that just didn’t work, I actually did watch through the original series, and the reboot didn’t hold a candle
They made the people running the island too powerful
Also they did the clone episode second

Sam Lowe @greenlantern44.bsky.social · 1h

I listened to the reboot without any context, and yeah it wasn’t my thing
Big Finish’s Space: 1999 reboot was much better
Of course that one has been defunct for the last few years

The war on rainbow crosswalks has come to Texas.

After DeSantis cracked down and tore up rainbow crosswalks across Florida, the community has resisted in protest.

Now, Abbott is doing the same in Texas, seemingly at the direction of Libs of Tiktok.

The War on Rainbow Crosswalks Comes to Texas

A Republican state lawmaker called Texas “the biggest funder of transgenderism in America”...wishful thinking.

@bigfinish.bsky.social's new Sherlock Holmes series, Sherlock Holmes Untold, is an entertaining romp through the missing adventures. You can hear me chatting to other Sherlockians about it in their their podcast www.bigfinish.com/podcasts but don't let that put you off buying it.

Israeli leaders screamed their genocidal intent at the top of their lungs all the way through.

No crime in history has been so confessed to as it actually happened.

But almost all Western media outlets suppressed this.

Kudos to @scotnational.bsky.social for not being one of them.
