Reasons to go to the public library: 1. It’s cheaper than buying a book 2. You may be vaguely curious about a book but not desperately needing it 3. You may see another book by the same author 4. You arrogantly challenged your rival to a music duel but you don’t have a violin 5. Check email
The story I wrote as a 10 year old, shamelessly ripping off Fighting Fantasy's City of Thieves, had one (er) good bit, which was where a bard was singing We Built This City, but with the lyrics replaced with "We built this city/on orcs and trolls". For this alone, it is not the worst song ever.
I have to admit, running a business like Iron Circus isn't easy, never HAS been easy, but lol it's so fucking rewarding. It actually does my soul such good. Knowing for a fact I am doing my part to provide the world with genuinely Weird Shit it needs. Anyway, off to the ICC offices on a Saturday. 🙃
Honestly the part of this that I really hope more people recognize is the foot stuff. There's nothing wrong with having a thing for feet, ain't my thing but have fun! But when you're a director who is KNOWN for having one, has a history of abusing his power, and shoves them into MANY of his films...
This month marks 3 years since I drove across the country with 2 yowling cats and moved to Jersey It is wild to think about because honestly I feel more at home here than I ever did in Oklahoma and can't imagine wanting to go anywhere else in the US. Aside from pricey rent, it is my Ideal Home.
When you get a new pair of high quality headphones, it's very important to "break them in" to unlock their full potential: spill a cup of coffee on them drop them on the floor 5-12 times use them as a primitive sort of swiffer to collect a healthy coating of cat/dog/whatever pet you have's fur
So this morning I was cleaning up a bunch of leaves that had blown against the house during the recent windstorm and disturbed a MASSIVE gyne (queen) bumblebee who was sleeping under the leaf litter. 😭 I put some dry grass mulch inside an overturned pot and deposited her there. Hope she lives.
I have a policy of not promising anyone anything unless I'm 100% sure it's going to happen, and that's not the current situation. I have no idea what their programming needs are going to be, the internal politics going on, and the deal still has a ways to go before being formally approved.
MICE (Massachusetts Independent Comics Expo) 2025 haul. Since I have many many many books and zines, I try to limit myself to ones where the author is doing something interesting that I want to keep referring back to. On that note, every year I walk away with 2-3 Bulgilhan Press books
I think there's nothing wrong with watching movies at home or on a laptop or phone or plane but it IS a markedly different experience than watching it in theaters in the format and environment it was designed for and the fact that executives continue to say they're the same is the real problem
A sure sign Blue Prince is an excellent puzzle game: I was emptying the dishwasher a half hour ago, and suddenly had a moment where I realised there was something I should try out in the game. My brain had been working on that detail in the background without me even realising.
Oh fuck those terms. Anyone who uses them sincerely needs to touch grass and stop being a 4chan piece of shit. You are not laughable, you are not pathetic. Everyone's journey is different and it is okay if yours is more difficult and takes more time than others. It's still yours.
I've tried repeatedly over the years, and never found anything. Late 1970s/Early 1980s. How To Play Chess book, in a comic format. I think three-panel structure, which makes me think a newspaper or magazine reprint. Glamorous people playing - Hal Foster-y art. Pieces as occasional characters Help?
The quote I got from some douchebag going Y'ALL ARE PRUDES BEST DIRECTORS ARE SEX FREAKS If you can't tell the difference between a director making a horny scene or movie and a friend of Harvey Weinstein continually putting women into positions to perform his specific fetish what are you doing
Sigh. Are we still doing this? When I was a kid, every news story about comics began with "Bam! Pow!" because boomers only knew about Adam West Batman. But a 2025 France 24 report about accountability for sexual assault at Angoulême??? This is the least "Bam! Pow!" comics story you could report.
