Scott McCloud’s incomparable “Understanding Comics”.

I swear you can open this book to any page and it’s amazing.

When I was younger and researching the autism diagnosis criteria and symptoms, I thought “oh I couldn’t POSSIBLY be autistic.” Because when I read “takes everything literally” I thought it literally meant EVERYTHING and I was like “I don’t take EVERYTHING literally, just most things!” And I just realized the other day that it didn’t actually mean EVERYTHING and that was an overstatement.

i've been seeing this around a lot lately as like a little memey jokey thing but "this is what they took from you" is a fascist meme.

"they" are jewish people/"the global elite"/"cultural marxists"/"globalists"/"the woke left" etc.

and it's basically the same as "RETVRN" like this is explicitly a fascist thing that fascists say about their fascist beliefs

please don't go around saying it

you can talk about capitalist enshittification without invoking fascism, and just because YOU mean something different doesn't mean it's not invoking those things it's explicitly meant to invoke

i know that "unalive" is part of larger worrying trend of self censorship but if you really are in a situtation where you have to avoid the words "die" or "kill" the english language already has centuries worth of much better euphemisms. the iconic and perennial "six feet under"? the lovely imagery of "pushing up daisies"? "shuffle off this mortal coil"????? literally anything from the monty python dead parrot bit???? you have so many options. please try to be more creative at least

when I see something dated 2019 I think “oh that’s not too long ago” and then I remember that 2019 was not only five years ago but those five years have somehow contained several lifetimes

Goober Grove - Unpoker I was not aware this was a real variant of poker until after I started drawing this.

A lot of people talk about the "mario timeline" i.e. placing games in chronological order, which is respectable, but currently i am thinking about how long in-universe 1 mario game is. How long is a level? You could probably bang out at least a couple smb3 levels in a day (if you were mario), but something like pendulum castle is likely an all-day affair. This is also not accounting for the times that mario has an offscreen picnic between levels, or takes a nap in a picturesque field. Food for thought.

the way people are still trying to call 'chat' a pronoun months later.....

i have to wonder if it's a case of a lot of people internalizing (correctly!) that following grammar rules is not the end-all-be-all, that prescriptivism is BS, etc, and then extrapolating off that to conclude (incorrectly!) that if language is ~fake~, then all descriptive terminology for grammar/linguistics just Doesnt Mean Anything.

I had a dream last night that some of my friends were planning on making a Rhythm Heaven movie, but in the dream I couldn't imagine what it would be about because Rhythm Heaven doesn't really have a plot. If you wanted to make a Rhythm Heaven movie, what would you make it about?
