obviously plenty of other things should have already been disqualifying but people willing to defy Trump publicly and appeal to decency as their reason for doing so both seem pretty good

Michael Bohacek, a Republican state senator from Indiana who has a daughter with down syndrome, says he will vote against redistricting in Indiana after Trump used the word "retarded."

The guy shot two random people with a gun, I don't think you can say he wasn't assimilating into our culture
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

Thanksgiving Eve Stranger Things drop kinda created chaos… very different needs and wants throughout the household, a whole lot of “can you kids help us cook/clean/get ready????” and a lot of “can we watch it now???”

Alright, finished with the floor level isometric map of this cursed mansion turned orphanage for tiny lovable maniacs. Lots of little secrets and nonsense I hope my players find…and I promise not to freak out if they never do.

If you're an educator in NJ please consider signing onto this letter in support of the Immigrant Trust Act. This bill helps ensure that immigrants can still access important services without fear of detention or deportation. When our students are afraid they can't learn.

I would use up one of my three genie wishes to have them change the design of Vecna in Stranger Things so he looks exactly the same as he does already, except now he’s wearing dress shoes

I posted this comic about how I used to have this theory that Quantim Leap could only have been made in the 90’s, but maybe I might have to admit I was wrong since they rebooted the show in 2022, but I’ve since come to the conclusion that I was still right!

a sure sign that a comic of mine has been picked up by the algorithm on Instagram is when I start getting lots of comments from random people letting me know they "ain't reading all that"

Is it corny for me to say I’m really grateful for Stranger Things? As they’ve gotten older it’s gotten harder to get our kids to watch stuff together as a family - and my eldest headed to college soon - but this show they’ll sit with us to enjoy. They love it more than we do! It’s kind of special.

I think they should’ve checked to see how many good songs there were in the second act of Wicked before deciding to break the movie adaptation into two parts

It is a little silly that I publish a brand-new mini every month and don’t make the comics available to people outside of Monthly Club members who are subscribed at that particular time. I ought to setup an online store for back issue, what are good options that don’t cost a lot of $ like Shopify?
