If I had a nickle for each time I was talking about @hankgreen.bsky.social with a friend -- and had to identify him as "Brother to @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social , who wrote The Fault in Our Stars" -- I would have two nickles. Which isn't a lot, but amusing it was the same friend both times.

If your campaign slogan isn't some variation of "Get a Kluwe", istg.

Can folks do me a favor? I was on Bluesky early & it was great. Mostly. I hit the eject button in January. I came back, many colleagues are here, but still donβt know I am. I co-created Halt and Catch Fire. I write TV & comics. Hereβs two favorite set photos. Repost? I am in the wilderness.

WAIT WHAT! I had no idea there was more Aetherbound content on the way. I'm ecstatic.

What are the vibes of this book compared to Aetherbound?

I also don't like it, so I've decided (just now) it's common for people to modify their blasters to be more silent.

Hell yeah. IIRC, there's a comic page where Nightwing offers a kid a lollipop that he (Dick) took from Batman's utility belt. Then there's a gag about it being next to the shark repellent or knockout gas or something.
Darrin Calvin (@darrincalvin.bsky.social) reply parent
Yes and no. This version is Terranotron from the 2003 RiD continuity. In the toy package 2-pack with Grimlock he was originally called Swoop on the packaging, which was quickly fixed. Most other lines, Swoop is still Swoop. Except when he's not (see: Strafe and Divebomb).

I was about to make the same comment.
Darrin Calvin (@darrincalvin.bsky.social) reply parent
Hmmm. I wonder if there's a shared etymology with the Polish word for 'white'. BiaΕowΔ
s is a Polish village (and surname) which sees it's way into German as Balfanz. It translates as, if I remember correctly, "[a person with a] white mustache"

I have a friend who's birthday is coming up in May. I've previously got them Christopher Cantwell's Briar, @alterici.bsky.social's Heathen, @jacksonlanzing.bsky.social and @collinkelly.bsky.social's Wifwulf. Glowing reviews for all, I'm told. Anyone have suggestions for comics with a similar vibe?
Darrin Calvin (@darrincalvin.bsky.social) reply parent
I really need to start reading the names of people who post before I read the post. I really went, "Wow this is really cool, I wonder if Kelly has seen this?" Pretty safe to say you have.π

"He doesn't know it but he's a Lich's phylactery" is hilarious because it lines up with a Warforged Warlock concept I had, which was more or less "He doesn't know it but he's the host of a banished god"

Yeah, no idea. Both M-W and OED note the first recorded usage was 1813 for flammable, but neither note a source. Actually, nvm, the online OED says the original source is a translation (of what, I dunno) by Thomas Busby, an English composer.
Darrin Calvin (@darrincalvin.bsky.social) reply parent
Inflammable is older, comes from Latin inflamarre, "to set on fire" Two centuries later we get flammable because some wiseguy decided inflammable was confusing (because it kinda is) and they chopped off the in-. Instead of the new word replacing the old word tho we got both for double confusion.

In the server's defense I may have just said "cocoa" as a shortcut, so pretty sure that's on me.

I once ordered a hot cocoa at a Denny's and the server brought me back a Coke, so now I very pointedly say "hot chocolate" so I'm not understood.

This reminds me that I didn't read any Ayn Rand until college. Found Atlas Shrugged lying around, thought it was mostly fine as a book. English teacher suggested I read The Fountainhead because I was an architecture student. I have never hated a book more.
