also I wish people understood that if I had time to work on a project for free I'd do MY stuff?! like I have a million projects myself dude

Let me state this as politely as I can

People can get used to anything.

My snap reaction to the very concept was "Ah haha, those kids are doomed" but then, on consideration, I thought "compared to a cosmic horror threat, the difference between a Boy Scout and an SAS paratrooper is basically a rounding error..."

OH LORD, PROFIT!

THE BOX!

THE BOXXXX!!!!

Vampires. They have screen presence, y'know?

Gah! The pirates! Nobody needs to see Michael Voorhees twerking in a banana hammock.

I could get in way over my head with drunk wishing. Gimme the sorcerer who can make health food taste like tiramisu.

Not Wolverine for damn sure. Really don't Anna be around if he gets paranoid. Kurt & Bobby seem like they'd be regular giggle twins though.

Beaker seems like he'd be gentle & have warm hands, while I would not trust Animal with the nuances of my will.

D'awww...

In response to some bullshit going around:

Can we please fucking destigmatize men being nice to / caring about / engaging with kids? These are normal adult mammal instincts; what's fucked up is that we beat them out of people based on gender and/or assume they're inherently predatory.

MAH BABY!

Oh good, instead of driving a hundred writers and artists out of business and throwing every endeavor premised on the clear communication of thought into limbo, it can ruin EVERY writer and artist while sending schools, courts and publishing to HELL.

Crypto at least has uses. Those hackers who hold hospital records for ransom would be up the creek without cryptocurrency.

...I did not say "good uses."

The first panel shows a crow with the title "How to live a good life". The second panel shows a crow cawing at itself in the mirror with the subheading "Make friends". The next panel says "Explore" and shows a crow looking into a commercial waste bin. The next says "Try new things" with a crow eating something vile. The next one says "Be curious" and shows the crow grabbing a hissing cat's tail". The final frame says "Get a hobby" and shows the crow looking closely at a book of matches.

They're gonna get to the part about showing kindness to the stranger and look up all mad. "If this is a joke it's NOT FUNNY! Who added this to my bible???"

You look like the MCU design of The Hamburgler

"Why bother to read what someone did not bother to write?"

Iunno Spike, my wife is certainly educated & independent. Your theory suggests I am, therefore, NOT mediocre-and-worse, and that notion is just difficult for me to parse.

With 23 years of continuous work as a letterer, and over 30 years of print/production experience, I’m now unable to find any new lettering work in comics.
Please keep me in mind when staffing your creator-owned projects and please consider requesting me on your WFH projects 🙏

So if “the odds of nuclear war*” are 1-2% a year, that does not mean that in fifty years we’re almost sure to have one. It means there’s a very low probability every year.

3/3

*I have problems with this assumption too. “Nuclear war happen” is a highly stochastic, squishy, multicausal disaster.

Boiled down, it’s “If I just flipped a fair, balanced coin and got heads TEN TIMES IN A ROW, what are the odds I get heads AGAIN on my next flip?”

The answer is still 50/50. Probability is blind to the past. It doesn’t owe you anything.

Holy shit, I just read an interview with David Gross, a Nobel Prize winning physicist who just got a $3m prize, and his pull-quote about how unlikely any of us are to live fifty more years is based on a fundamental error in understanding probability.

Is the lesson "Maybe bullying land grabs to restore ephemeral notions of 'historic greatness' are more trouble than they're worth"?

Naming my security company after the giant evil eye that, crucially, was too distracted to see the actual threat sneaking in

WHO THE FUCK'S IDEA WAS IT TO LET THE HORSES PERFORM SURGERY AGAIN? THEY HAVE GOT HOOVES FOR HANDS. MAYBE MR. DUMPTY WOULD HAVE HAD A CHANCE IF WE'D HAVE CALLED A DOCTOR RATHER THAN FUCKING SEABISCUIT.
