Just leave Substack. Please. Ghost and Beehiiv will help you.

you shouldn’t learn about bands from shady TikTok manipulation, you should learn about bands by hanging out with a girl you like but are also extremely afraid of

Looks like I'll have about $50 in the bank after my phone bill goes through this week.

Please buy a chibi commission!

I'm sure someone will correct me on this, but I don't think there's *ever* been a Box action figure.

Going off all these emails from BBTS I'm guessing a container ship from China has cleared customs.

I've just stopped following outlets over this kind of thing. After their ninth or tenth vaguebooking, soft-spoiler headline it's clear they don't care if anyone else gets the same experience they did.

Damon Lindelof Reveals Why He Signed Anti-Paramount-WBD Merger Letter "Hollywood, believe it or not, is a blue-collar town," Damon Lindelof said Monday on why he signed an anti-Paramount-WBD merger letter.

“Hollywood, believe it or not, is a blue-collar town...“It’s thousands and thousands of Grips and Gaffers. Drivers and Decorators. Builders and Boom operators. Camera teams and Caterers... And they’re all about to get f*cked”

Is this because the new Marrina figure doesn't come with alternate headsculpts because I am RIGHT there with you...

And it's a bit concerning that he is a major investor in Substack.

Marc Andreesen is shaping media into his vision and some of y'all are just letting him. You are letting SS use your left leaning journalism to launder right wing extremism. It's making me nuts.

There are going to be so many stupid takes using Magyar’s win to argue that Dems should keep tacking center-right, when I think the far bigger takeaway is that “we will go after the people who corruptly destroyed the government” has *extremely* broad appeal

USAID can absolutely be part of that

The same week the NYTimes was devoting its significant resources to producing this ridiculous piece about Lauren Sanchez Bezos's call for rich people to not worry and be happy, Ryan Hass, an independent journalist in Oregon, was investigating this horrifying story about a death in an Amazon plant.

A comment that I made on a Facebook post from Planned Parenthood Action Fund. My comment reads: Hi, I'm also running for U.S. Senate in Maine. I'm a feminist public health professor and, at the age of 27, was the youngest president in the history of Mabel Wadsworth Center (the northern most in-person abortion provider in Maine.) As president I also championed an expansion of their resources to include services for trans clients. I'm also the person who famously chalked in front of Susan Collins' house in 2022 asking her to support the Women's Health Protection Act. It's time to support the next generation of leaders.

Hah. I was looking at it from the action figure side -- honestly never considered some people might just buy it (or the rest of the line) for the cards.

If this is your thing, this is a ridiculously great Man-Wolf/ StarGod figure. I was that sucker who paid full price and I still absolutely love him. No regrets.

Just saying.

It's the same figure. They even include an updated Ursa head if you want to use him that way. 🙂

Crap, I was convinced this guy's name was Major Ursa because he was ha ha ha a Soviet military officer who turned into a bear and it's a pun on the constel--you get it right?--but NO he really is just Ursa Major and I am revealed as both a fake toy geek and a fake comic geek.

Get cool stuff! Support a cool magazine! That's a win-win!

If you're a fan of shows, @okbjgm.bsky.social has probably worked on one you love, and he's putting a ton of actual props and swag on the auction block for a good cause. Go check out his feed and look for stuff from The Witcher, Charmed, Dark Crystal, and more.

And the Nerf rep was very interested, did we need/ want anything else, oh and what's the movie about?

So I explained. Comedy-drama. Second coming of Christ. And there was a loooooong silence on the phone. And then the rep said, very calmly...

"That sounds like blasphemy."

And hung up on me.

...make product placement deals with a few toy companies (very low budget movie). One toy that was specifically referenced in the script was Nerf-- a basketball and football. Sooooo I got on the phone with Nerf and launched into my spiel. Prop master, working on a movie, we were hoping...

TRUE STORY -- I once worked on a movie about an LA lawyer who finds out she's been chosen to give (virgin) birth to the second coming of Christ. Hilarity ensues. Never got released, don't bother looking.

ANYWAY... said lawyer already had three kids, so we needed lots of toys and tried to...
