If we’re honest, all politicians are skeletons. It’s just that some are more skeletony than others.

I know it's not really the point, but hey man, a good way to avoid image-destroying sexual misconduct is to not treat your fanbase and subordinate employees like an a la carte hookup app.

I actually wish Tolkien had finished working out his conflicted ideas about orcish freewill and souls, because, yeah, “sword that detects a species” does get a bit of side-eye from me.

It’s a fictional story. Of course the reason he’s a mass murderer is because of the writers. We’re talking about the specific fictional stories in which Batman allows a mass murderer to keep murdering out of some misguided ethos, b/c his own personal journey is more important than innocent lives.

“Many that live deserve death and some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them, Frodo?” Yes, actually, Mithrandir. That’s why I have this sword that glows blue when fuckers who deserve to die are close by. Also I have a magic ring so they can’t see me when it’s stabby-times.

There’s a huge difference between some kid and the joker who has killed hundreds, if not thousands, of people. The idea that ending a mass murderer is some irreversible step onto the path of darkness is absurd. If Batman wants to redeem people, there are better options in his rogues gallery.

Your art is fantastic, and it's been such a cool thing to witness how your own journey of self-discovery has reflected in your storytelling, becoming ever more authentic and compelling. We're lucky that yours is one of the voices telling stories in our world.

There are two elements to the immunity decision that are particularly extreme in a way that many will miss: (1) motive is irrelevant and (2) immune acts are not just excluded from prosecution, they’re excluded from evidence. /1

The real frustrating thing will be the next cycle (b/c we live in hell) when they'll use that pre-existing anger to justify ignoring warnings from folks they already dislike, and using that disbelief to fuel the dislike. Oh wait, that's what happened THIS time. Discourse. Discourse never changes.

I mean, the refrain pretty much goes: "Sure, Bill/Bree/Salty/whoever was RIGHT, but they're still BAD!" Of course, the framing as "BAD" stems entirely from anger at the initial accusation that was just proven right, but why allow logic or facts to confuse things here? Just call yourself Cassandra.

One thing from Alan Wake I didn't expect was liking the character of Barry Wheeler. When he was introduced, I was like: "Ugh, who is THIS asshole?" But by the end of the game, that Christmas light-wearing doofus really grew on me. He's a needed light-hearted counterpoint to the rest of the horror.

I think I'm almost done with Alan Wake, and I'm really regretting not having streamed it. There were so many moments where I was just having SO MUCH FUN, moments of cool revelation/recognition that would have been great live - I fully intend to stream Alan Wake 2 once I get around to playing that.

Finally started playing #Alanwake and here are my initial thoughts:

1. I kind of hate the combat.
2. I absolutely love everything else about it.

If Omelas is such a utopia, then why do people walk away from it instead of riding a Segway or something? Seems pretty sus to me.

Saw over on the bird site: an unofficial imagined page from a Columbo / Batman crossover. Art by Colin Craker. I have to admit, I’d love to read that story.

(I was spoiled for A LOT of Alan Wake 2 through watching @ashleyroboto.bsky.social streams, but I'm so glad I got to see this absolute insanity. I especially love Sam Lake obviously having the time of his LIFE throughout this ridiculous, fun sequence.)

Booted up Control again; want to finish out all the DLC missions I never completed before moving on to Alan Wake and later Alan Wake 2. I'm really digging this whole connected universe Remedy came up with.

One can make a point how white western evangelical Xians embrace Zionism as part of a larger suite of conspiracy beliefs in line w/ what's in the "Protocols." What you wrote read more like: "and that's why the Protocols are correct, actually." If that wasn't your intent, reconsider your phrasing.

I always find amusing the weird crossover marketing deals the #Fortnite folks come up with. Like, Metallica? Really?

Then again, it's pretty hilarious when the kids in the house are shouting "GIVE ME FUEL GIVE ME FIRE GIVE ME THAT WHICH I DESIRE!" Pass on the music to the next generation, I guess.

Sympathy for having to deal with that. Perhaps there is some small comfort in the fact that you didn’t have to include an aside explaining latent heat and the refrigeration cycle. I mean, I’m assuming. I don’t know your family.
