I, uh, I got it pointed out to me that I never actually explained what my Glorantha project, Secret History of the Horse Sun, actually...is.

So I did.

The Big Pent Collection Post: Secret History of the Horse Sun

It has been pointed out to me that I haven't actually ever written a post explaining what the hell Secret History of the Horse Sun is. So, uh, doing that now! The Fuck's A Glorantha Glorantha is a…

The key here is that "Lawyers will not just sign their name and bar ID# to what a paralegal gives them, even a Birbmom tier paralegal." is an untrue statement, and needs to be qualified with "good". Good lawyers will not do that.

Many lawyers are not good lawyers.

so i don't talk about 1999 much but it remains the best written gacha game i've ever seen but also the most impenetrable if you are not, in fact, basting in world history of the 20th century and random fields of literature

I don't drink coffee so not crossing this picket line won't be difficult for me, but the rest of you should probably be prepared to caffeinate in an alternate fashion

Starbucks Workers United @sbworkersunited.org · 4d

BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless Starbucks finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting.

If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.

Starbucks unionized workers say they'll strike on Nov. 13 if coffee giant doesn't finalize contract

Union members say they are ready to strike on the chain's Red Cup Day if Starbucks doesn't finalize a contract with their union by then.

so the good news is Extreme Justice stopped being 75% fights and that's significantly better for its legibility and quality

the bad news is parts of it are still made of piss, i am told this yellow is probably the result of early digital coloring techniques that the colorist wasn't good at

Mors Rattus @morsrattus.bsky.social · 5d

on a writing level, it has been 4 issues and about 50% of the panels have been fight scenes which are basically incomprehensible, with very little in the way of actual events happening. the plot barely advances.

there's only 19 issues of Extreme Justice and I'm dreading the next 15

1995 is the worst year in comics that i, personally, have had to read

Mors Rattus @morsrattus.bsky.social · 5d

WHY DOES THIS ENTIRE COMIC LOOK LIKE IT’S MADE OF PISS

This is supposed to be Ronnie Raymond bursting with nuclear fire, but it looks like he’s covered in acidic piss.

Mors Rattus @morsrattus.bsky.social · 5d

WHY IS EXTREME JUSTICE SO UGLY AND HARD TO FOLLOW

WHY WERE 90s COMICS LIKE THIS

Mors Rattus @morsrattus.bsky.social · 6d

extreme justice is extremely ugly and i do not like perceiving it with my eye holes

Mors Rattus @morsrattus.bsky.social · 6d

Solid ending, honestly, and Stein-Firestorm having to defeat Sun-Brimstone was very cool.

Mors Rattus @morsrattus.bsky.social · 6d

Firestorm is now done. Next stop on my read is Extreme Justice, as I have determined that the potential detour to Wonder Woman: War of the Gods would not be meaningfully relevant.

okay i forgive firestorm for a lot of the annoyance i've had over the elemental arc, issue 96 was a gorgeous and shockingly well researched toe dip into Yoruba mythology and I loved it

Mors Rattus @morsrattus.bsky.social · 12d

The further I get into the tail end of Firestorm, the more convinced I am that the full elemental was a mistake, and it sucks that Ronnie and Mikhail are just...kinda gone.

Mors Rattus @morsrattus.bsky.social · 12d

i do not think i've had a more surreal experience in a while than having a coworker show off a photo of his fursuit in a meeting as his halloween costume

and knowing that he doesn't at all understand why this would be surreal for anyone else

The narrative that rabbis aren’t showing up for Mamdani— or that nobody believes that economic and labor justice are core Torah values — is false.

Baseball statistics are beautiful, wonderful things and baseball rules are intricate and interesting and baseball is the most boring game to watch that has ever been invented

yeah it's funny how forgiveness and grace are only for guys who are or were nazis
