We're back! FOC is Monday!
More deranged Heavy-Metal-esque madness from @mercuryeric.bsky.social @mikeshenderson.bsky.social @nolanwoodard.bsky.social @airy.bsky.social @frost.house.gov and myself! From @imagecomics.com !
I had forgotten they had beef!
Honestly, if it's a battle that was sneakily important on certain axis (as Inoki-Ali fostering the imagination for MMA as a thing), but left neither man looking particularly great...maybe Drake and Common's brief jabbing at each other?
Oh, is there an existing parallel there, or can I just start developing my Roc-A-Fella as NJPW theorem out of whole cloth?
Thought I had 'cause I heard a bar about "Takeover" being the better diss than "Ether" and people doing revisionist history of Jay-Z winning the battle: People who weren't around at the time are judging it by Pride/Japan rules rather than UFC Unified Rules. I'm sure this will find its audience.

Lots of good stuff in this week's What's Good, coming some time this afternoon. As a heads up, y'all don't need me to tell you about the Nine Inch Noize record, I'm sure. Signed, 'Guy who went and found someone that pulled the footage from last week's stream'.
i would really like people to get over the idea that comedy is particularly dangerous to authoritarians. if it was we wouldn't be here.
It's a nice thought, but the evidence ain't there.

My variant cover for ACTION COMICS #1100!!!
This is one of my all time favorite covers.
I made it quite a while ago, not sure when it was coming out. I was thrilled and honored when I learned it was going to be released on this landmark issue of Action Comics! Whooo!

I got 00's Indie Kid which I 'spose is technically correct? I didn't really clock what answers seemed obviously 90s, which is where I thought I would've landed.

SF’s Civic Joy Fund is one of those hidden-picture tests: Do you see a lamp or a woman’s face? Are billionaires using tax loopholes to advance a technofash takeover of public space, or are they philanthropists swooping in to save the arts when no one else will? www.coyotemedia.org/how-could-yo...

I've mentioned this before but Kids These Days would be shocked to learn how much time used to lapse between a theatrical run and a home-video release
When I was a kid, "Possum Kingdom" was always on bc it was one of my mom's favorite songs. For @chron.com's series on media that gets the Texas Experience(TM), I wrote about urban legends and having a Young Mom.

tl;dr: if you're currently using Affinity, there's ways to increase your accessibility of resulting PDFs. Screen reader users will still have issues though.

I'm a little over half way through, but if you want a good primer as to why I stopped following combat sports years ago, Luke Thomas and Pablo Torre give you one.

I've only given the whole thing a single run-through, but that was my immediate thought. And I was less tentative about it.
View of the spine of a handmade notebook. It has a stitched open spine, blue cloth covers, and a string and button closure.
Front cover view of the same notebook.
Blue and white floral endpapers, kind of a willow pattern vibe?
Inside pages. You can see how this binding opens completely flat.
It is finished!
I’m in love. This one is mine!
(But if I were to make a few more notebooks in this sort of style to sell to help pay for bookbinding materials, would there be any interest?)

I never had a set vision of my wedding. I just didn't want to be stressed.
But a single search led me to the hellscape that is the wedding algorithm, a machine that perfected the art of making me feel weird, broke, and ugly.

If you peeped the first part of Zilla Rocca chronicling his journey to starting his own label that I linked in What's Good, the next one is out. I would LOVE to hear the demos he mentions here, also part of the reason why A&Rs aren't a thing anymore, heh.
