The Uncanny Magazine Year 11 Kickstarter features solicited essayists Senaa Ahmad, Charlie Jane Anders, Kelly Sue DeConnick, A.T. Greenblatt, Del Sandeen, and Rachel Talalay! www.kickstarter.com/projects/lyn...

Why separate the author and their work when you can just toss it all into the dumpster whole? Roll it downhill and into the sea in one piece. I can't do the mental gymnastics, I just throw things that have gone rotten into the trash. It's also easier if there's no pedestal involved to deal with.

When someone talks about whether you can separate someone from their work, I know the someone they’re talking about is a white man. Marginalized creators (including young women who are that man’s victims) are never allowed to have their work considered apart from their marginalization.

I see we've reached the "famous artist credibly accused of sexual assault wasn't actually a great artist and you're a chump for liking him" phase. Consider that pretending terrible people can't make great art helps terrible people who make great art whedon their way into vulnerable communities.

all of you saying “oh that big white fantasy writer, i loved his work but what a terrible guy, you should read these marginalized writers instead” — you are saying go read bodies, not stories

It's been a while since I fell on the stairs but I can say falling on the stairs while carrying an air conditioner hurts more than not carrying an air conditioner. Hopefully haven't set back months of physical therapy, ha ha ha. Eating Ibuprofen and muscle relaxers in-between sleeping jags. Ow.

Some prime Evan Dorkin, Derek Thompson and me Predator Bad Blood from days gone by!

Woke up, AC dead, 90 degrees. Pull books off bookshelf, pull shelf to get to plug, restart, unplug, power, no hum. Haul it down 3 flights of stairs to the car, make Costco before closing, return it, grab new AC, home, haul, second flight of stairs fall down, fuck knee up, arms. Can't install. Hot.

To this day, one of my favourite bits of anything Bill and Ted. Them thinking Genghis and Chaka are married still gets me.

If you know, you know.

Bless you, Count Binface.

Make as few pedestals for people as possible. You can see them more clearly that way.

AP story waits until paragraph 16 to mention police & prosecutors are accused of conspiring to protect the cop who's apparently the real killer, until then making him seem like a lone wolf

Just a jaw-dropper from the state whose attorney general is currently trying to execute an innocent man. innocenceproject.org/missouri-cir...

20 years ago today (!!) I sent out this email announcing my first-ever show on #WFMU, which took place in the wee hours of the morning on July 5, 2004. Tomorrow I’ll celebrate by starting with a selection of songs that I played on that very first show. I hope you can tune in at noon EDT!

I got an advance PDF of Hello Darkness #1 from @boom-studios.com and I read it and enjoyed it. Nice mix of ongoing stories, done-in-ones, weird bits and pin-ups. Swell line-up of talent, everything looks great. Worth checking out/supporting. Anthologies are a hard sell, so, good luck, everyone.

Today's socks will be Moomin style.

Today's Patreon post: Sketches/notes for an unproduced Milk & Cheese superhero strip, worked up for the similarly unproduced 8th issue (Milk & Cheese # Hate). Going by percentages, there's potentially 7 or 8 good gags in there. Maybe 9! $1 a month unlocks the yocks! www.patreon.com/posts/unprod...

Yesterday's Patreon post was about Fight-Man, because someone sent me some interview questions about one of the few Marvel characters even the IP lawyers never heard of. W/four pages of pencils, scanned from shitty Xeroxes made at the Marvel offices back in the day. www.patreon.com/posts/gettin...

I wish I could talk more about all these awful movies but I'm allergic to superhero movies, Tarantino, and Tarantino-wannabes, so I haven't seen a lot of them. But The Goonies. The fucking Goonies. I saw it when it came out and it made me want to torch children. Temple of Duh-lite horseshit. Awful.

"What are four films you don't just love, you'd want to rewatch in hospice care."

"What are four films you don't just dislike, you despise."

"What are four films you don't just dislike, you despise." Two of these obviously for the same reason...

This Buckaroo Banzai remake is gonna suck so hard.

they keep inventing new guys
