IT day job. Forever DM. Longtime comic book nerd. 8x cat dad.
I am an atheist, but I want to stress just how badly this makes me want there to be a Hell for these fucking ghouls to experience the eternity of vengeance Jonathan Edwards preached in Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God.
A favorite example of Nightcrawler's charm, from The Big Dare (one of the vignettes added at the end of X-Men Classic reprints back in the day). Wolvie dares Kurt to walk through town without his image inducer. Kurt beats his fears by being his lovely, charming self.
So I saw this screenshot and I got curious. I looked it up the value of a shilling, which was £0.05 (1/20th of 1 £). 15/week would be £0.75. The Bank of England inflation calculator shows £0.75 in 1843 is today worth £83.18/week. £4,325.36/year. £2.08/hr. I did that math wrong... right?
Can't say I'm surprised at Hegseth wanting to cut ties with the Scouts. Literally every one of the 12 points of scout law directly oppose the corruption, selfishness, and immorality of this administration.
The cornerstone of my delicious applesauce walnut cookies. Also, the namesake of this spicy kitty, Walnut Buttercup.
First ever trip to NYC to see Critical Role live at Radio City Music Hall, and I was lucky enough to catch @gregpak.net doing a signing at Midtown Comics. First time I've had the pleasure of meeting a comic writer in person (and gotten a signature!), and Greg was an absolute delight.
Waiting in line to check out and I see this and hear @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social sternly saying "stop. making. new. Oreos!" in my head.
