Bills movie done. About as expected. Wonder what the next random football team with a fanatical following will get the rom-com treatment? *Glances at the Packers*

Watching "Holiday Touchdown: A Bills Love Story." A sequel to that romcom revolving around the Kansas City Chiefs, but this time about the Buffalo Bills/set in Buffalo NY. Because nothing says romance like a small-market pro sports team? 😀

Next week's DC Calendar posts: A Legion of Substitute Heroes member! A space hero! Another Shazam character! A Golden Age hero! And did someone say "a fitting end for his kind?"

You know how a few months ago Corus shut down a bunch of channel with very little fanfare?

Last month, WIldbrain shut down a quartet of their channels up north and, well, they did it with class and gratitude towards the audience.

Here's how Family did it:

Silver age panel. Her invisible plane hovers low above the city and Wonder Woman is jumping into it, carrying Steve Trevor under one arm. Narration: “With an effortless leap, WONDER WOMAN boards the Amazon plane that responds only to the vibrations of her own voice….” Steve says, “You certainly don’t waste time on a takeoff, sweetheart!” She replies, “I want to investigate the graveyard of ships, and return as soon as possible, Steve! I’ve a lot of fan mail to answer!“

On Prime Video: another tourism ad to "Experience Abu Dhabi." Said experiences shown include a trip to an aquarium, outdoor activities, fine dining, cars, etc. Again, no mention of this guy. 😀

Happy Brak Friday, everyone!
An image of Brak, a character from the Hanna Barbera cartoon "Space Ghost" and subsequently "Space Ghost Coast to Coast" and "The Brak Show". Brak is an alien guy that kind of looks like a cat that wears a mask and has two pieces of fabric behind his ears; but he's anthropomorphic and also wears red gloves. He's a weird looking fella.

Growing up in the South, I remember the appeal of the Confederacy lore in school was because a bunch of fucking idiots took being called the descendants of traitorous losers really personally.

They had to create a reality where their ancestors were heroes.

Silver age panel of a pair of hands and a certain ring with a certain uniform shrinking into it. Narration: “As FLASH presses a hidden spring in his ring, he activates a tiny suction motor within the ring that pulls in his uniform at the same time that an invisible gas shrinks it to tiny size again….“ I have no reason to share this panel other than so I can say “tiny suction motor.“ Tiny suction motor. Tiny. Suction. Motor.

Thanksgiving's over, so here's the Christmas edition of my Jellyfin server (though I activated the Christmas movies library a few days earlier per arranging stuff):

Why don't we like "AI?"

You try to put it into everything in nonsensical ways.
It doesn't work the way you claim it will.
You don't pay for the work you use to generate it.
Your intent is labor reduction without a contributory return.
You know it's unpopular so you try to hide it.
You lie about it.

Black Friday is here. Job situation aside, this year's much less spendy than last year... mostly since I bought a bunch of stuff last year in anticipation of riding out whatever Trump part 2/2025 would bring (and I was right).

There aren't any Black Friday deals on RAM this year, and you can thank AI for that

I sat down to write this story hoping to point people to deals on RAM kits for their gaming PC builds, but after an extensive search, I'm sorry to say there aren't any promotions worth even considerin...
