"Trump Says 'I Guess' Americans Should Worry About Iran Retaliating on U.S. Soil: 'Like I Said, Some People Will Die'
Quite the headline from People.com

Daily Beast, Jan. 26: “During an appearance on CNN’s State of the Union, the Oklahoma Republican rallied behind ICE agent Jonathan Ross, who fired three shots into a vehicle in Minneapolis, killing 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good.” www.thedailybeast.com/markwayne-mu...
Markwayne Mullin looks and sounds like some backwoods ding-dong that Raylan Givens has to throw in his car trunk on JUSTIFIED
Could I come play in that not-real (yet) CW DC line?? :D
So, Noem is out and a guy without a college degree and any relevant experience but who was briefly an MMA fighter is now director of Homeland Security
No law enforcement, security, immigration or intelligence experience
No experience managing a large organization
Just a MAGA dude with a temper
Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.
But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.
kind of crazy that if you have enough money and don't like what you see in the media, you can just buy up every film studio, news station, and social media app and change it
Did you guys know there's a brand-new SCOTT PILGRIM videogame today from the same folks who brought you that awesome SCOTT PILGRIM TV show last year?
Figured I should return to this post and drop the go fund me link:

The He-Man creator Rodger Sweet dementia situation really has me bummed. No one involved in creating a billion dollar franchise should be suffering from medical debt. Its one if many stories like it, but with the current gutting of the entertainment arts it cuts deeper.
When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946.
In 2007, the US president was born in 1946.
In 2017, the US president was born in 1946.
And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

The American people want affordable health care and cheaper groceries, not another forever war in the Middle East.
Happy birthday! I discovered the glories of Paul Auster because this book cover caught my eye...
Cover art for Ben Bova’s book Mercury. Artwork by John Harris.
Literally judged this book by its cover and discovered a new favorite author because of it. Artwork by John Harris
The Dell paperback cover art to A Wrinkle in Time and A Wind in the Door.
Hey, it's my birthday! Yes, AGAIN!
Last year I asked you to show me your favorite comic panels.
This year, I'm asking you -- as a gift to me -- to post your favorite book cover art!
I'll start!
Mine's a twofer, as I LOVE the paperback artwork to A Wrinkle in Time and A Wind in the Door!
A wonderful piece. The full size version is even more eye-catching.
Going to be a bit basic with these two, as they have very similar vibes, but I give you the wrapround paperback edition of Gene Wolfe's Shadow Of The Torturer and Clive Barker's Weaveworld.
The original artwork for Isaac Asimov’s book Robots and Empire, art by Michael Whalen. Robots Daneel Olivaw (you can just see a little mechanical piece in the gap in the lower back of his shirt, but otherwise appears human) and Giskard Reventelov (the obviously mechanical being) are shaking hands. In the story, this is when they basically tell each other that they would die in the other’s place if necessary.
Happy Birthday!
I love Michael Whelan’s art on Isaac Asimov’s books, but Robots and Empire in particular gets to me, because it’s portraying a specific emotional moment in the book (despite being two robots who ostensibly have no emotions).
One of my favorites. Perhaps the best depiction of Fafhrd & the Gray Mouser ever.
Close up of the hardcover jacket cover art from The Dark Tower VII: The Dark Tower. It features a cowboy holding a gun and a rose at the base of a tower.
Variation on the cover art from The Gunslinger, it features a cowboy and a raven standing in front of a tower.
A cowboy standing in front of an open door with a tower in the distance.
I'm a big fan of Michael Whelan's work for King's Dark Tower series. From the original cover and plates for the Gunslinger and then the cover & key art for the finale.
(The Dave McKean stuff for Wizard & Glass was great too but I can't find clean clear art for the originals.)
Also, Happy Birthday!

The front cover to Dragonlance Chronicles Volume 1: Dragons of Autumn Twilight by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. The art (painted by Larry Elmore) features three individuals facing the viewer: a bearded man with a bow, a woman with a blue crystal staff, and a mustachioed man in armor with a sword and shield. There is a poignancy to their expressions. In the background lurks a large red dragon.
The front book cover of De Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien. The artwork (by an unknown artist) shows a number of simply drawn Dwarves, all nearly identical with their grey beards and hooded robes -- the only differentiation is the color of their clothing. They're all looking at a figure in the center who wears a green cloak with a pointed hood over his head. His bare feet stick out, and he is smiling and waving. This, presumably, is de Hobbit.
Happy birthday!
My favorites embody the two ends of the fantasy art spectrum.
Dragons of Autumn Twilight cover by Matt Stawicki, featuring Flint Fireforge, Tanis Half-Elven, and Goldmoon
Dragons of Winter Night cover by Matt Stawicki featuring Sturm Brightblade, Laurana Kanan, and Tasslehoff Burrfoot facing off against blue dragons
Dragons of Spring Dawning cover by Matt Stawicki featuring Kitiara Uth-Matar as well as Raistlin and Caramon Majere before the Tower of High Sorcery in Palanthas
Happy birthday!
I really love the 2000 rerelease covers of the Dragonlance Chronicles with art by Matt Stawicki. He used really bold, saturated color when a lot of fantasy covers were less so, and it really made them pop
Happy birthday!
I reserve the right to update this but the cover(s) that immediately leapt into my mind were for the DEEP SPACE NINE duology “Avatar,” which kicked off the post-finale novel continuity.

Ari Jaaksi posted an article about color filters and black and white film that expands on his most recent video. It gets into heavy color theory, but is pretty interesting. Did you know that magenta doesn’t really exist?

The people on twitter have been hearing me scream about this for years but never forget that Max Landis is QUITE LITERALLY A SERIAL RAPIST. HE HAS SEXUALLY ASSAULTED AN ALARMING NUMBER OF WOMEN, WAY more than ever contributed to the number of articles exposing him for it
Fucking hell when I pointed out this morning Ellison had a history of hiring (untalented) men who faced allegations of sexual harassment, had no idea a new one would drop in hours www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...
So sad to share that legendary colorist Tatjana Wood has passed away at the age of 99. Her pioneering painterly touch graced scores of DC & Vertigo series. She was truly one of a kind and a special friend. May her memory be a blessing.
