Hey, remember when conservatives called for James Gunn's firing from the GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY series and Alan Horn and Kevin Feige actually fired him and Gunn peaced out and then Marvel had to hire him back because the couldn't find anyone to make GofGv3? Caving to reactionaries never works out.

Here's a radical fucking idea; instead of catering to fanbases who don't want to be challenged in a new medium, MAKE NEW FUCKING THINGS. Put money into marketing those new things and create new IP. Hollywood did this for DECADES. variety.com/2024/tv/news...

Dear TV writers. I am BEGGING you. PLEADING WITH YOU. Absolutely desperately BESEECHING YOU. *For the love of god* stop having your characters tell the fucking scorpion and frog story.

Glad you like it! One of the few albums I bothered to buy a physical copy of.

If ironcircuscomic reaches out to you in a weird way be aware it’s a scam. @ironcircuscomics.bsky.social is the legit account. You’ll notice the lack of header, the lack of followers/following, and the lack of posts. Consider reporting this for impersonation/spam/etc.

I have completely abandoned the shitter site. I use this and Mastodon.

I love some weird stuff. So this Japanese Jazz-Punk album was right up my alley! It is whiplashtastic and crazy! Highly recommend if you love chaos. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gxnv...

Seen it in so many times. They over-estimate the power of their outrage. The "hardcore fan" perspective is insanely smaller than the whole audience. I keep thinking of what Al Snow said about wrestling fans that apply to so many of others who think they can do it too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=iidl...

Someone has made the point that it is probably a short lived grift to get mad hate-dorks donating to them before they disappear forever. Because no way they are going to be able to keep up with Godot's progress without just merging every change the main repo makes.
