Cuber 2.0

Usually more like regular army propaganda.

I got a big raise at my email job today, going to splurge and buy a big hard drive and an external cd player for my laptop. Maybe a new pair of pants.

Even my oaf senator Fetterman had actual progressive bonafides before he went mask off as a Republican. This guy was grown in a lab to be the perfect nazi podcast guest.

I thought the nazi tattoo mercenary dude announced he was dropping out of the senate race to spend more time with his family and also fleeing to norway. How is he suddenly the frontrunner.

The american direct-maket comics industry puts out so many Horror Genre comics and I don't think there's ever been one that's actually scary. Obviously not everyone can be Umezz but I'm not sure we need so many versions of Cullen Bunn.

"Dark Pyramid" #1 (and like 3 pages of #2) by Holden, Tobin, Colella, and Esposito. I started reading this because I liked the cover design, but I've seen this exact boring comic a dozen times. The page on the right is where I gave up.

Galactus and silver surfer

Experimenting with this fun Galactus piece by @kellybrack.bsky.social

I was so focused on the punch that I skipped right over the gag where she’s drinking from an oil pump lol. Might be the best joke in the whole book.

"Dominion" by Shirow Masamune. This (mostly) drops Shirow's pretense of social commentary, to focus on the screwball gags and sexual preoccupation with heavy weaponry. Patlabor but evil.

Yeah, its a good one.

“Zine Panique: Metal Flesh.” This would probably be a bit more substantial if I could read French. Lale Westvind draws a bunch of little dinosaurs. A one-pager from Chantal Montellier would have pushed the book over the top.

It always catches me off guard whenever Colombo takes pity on the killers at the end, like oh this asshole pedophile is your boy all of a sudden?

This is why God punished Pokemon to only speak their own names.

Johnny Cash as a megachurch preacher is such inspired Columbo villain casting.

I was going to say it couldn’t have been that recent but shit 2018 was 8 years ago.

Ghost in the Shell (1989–1990): A detailed side-profile illustration of a young woman with short black hair and intense red-brown eyes, her face and neck overlaid with glowing white circuit board patterns resembling electronic circuitry. A complex mechanical headpiece with robotic arms, wires, cables including a green and blue one, and a small rectangular device labeled with Japanese text and the date 1989.5.25 is attached to the top of her head. The background consists of intricate dark green circuit board designs with geometric patterns. The artwork is signed by Masamune Shirow.

Greg Rucka accidentally made Batman canonically Jewish but no one ever acknowledged it.

I tried rereading that a little while back and had the same problem. It doesn’t read well as a collection at all.

I feel like I need to go back and finish the last 2 episodes of GQwuuuuuuX before I can have an informed take on Evangelion 2: No Anno DLC Edition. I assume they didn’t stick the landing on that one.

I stand corrected! (I'm sure I knew at some point about the Ruppert/Mulot ones)

I'd be all over this but the lettering is a big turnoff.

I feel like I remember something about how part of their goal was to translate the books and then shop them around to other publishers to do print editions, but as far as I know it hasn't happened even once.

I'm fascinated by the Europe Comics' business model where they pump out a TON of translations that you can only find as ebooks on select library apps where absolutely no one reads them. Print this one out and sell it at the Yellowstone National Park visitor center!

"Grizzly Jam" by Alice Chemama. A nice summery comic for a snowy winter day. Comics readers tend to be dismissive of this sort of "edutainment" comic but I think there's a lot of untapped potential for comics as an educational tool, particularly in the area of environmentalism.

I picked these ones because they had the simplest headband design, last couple I tried from other brands ended up breaking at the hinge points. Hard to find something cheap that isn't just going to break on me.

KPH40 Utility The KPH40 Utility Series On-Ear Headphone is an all-new way to experience the Sound of Koss®.

I'm stubborn and refused to ever adopt airpods so my phone is useless for music lol. I use a pair of budget on-ear headphones from Koss and they sound great. koss.com/products/kph...

Last year I got a crappy little chinese ipod knockoff and I love it. I put a 150 gb SD card in it, and I've been slowly filling it with pirated techno music and badly compressed 2000s anime. I'm sure sooner than later I'll buy an external disc drive and will start collecting used CDs.

No one ever talks about how the removal of disk drives from laptops contributed just as much to the destruction of the music industry as music streaming did. Two sides of the same coin.

"A Witch's Life in Mongol" Vol. 2 by Tomato Soup. I'm enjoying this but its still stuck in the table-setting stage, the main character has now been traded to her third (or is it fourth?) benevolent slave master.
