ReedPOP Responds to Threatened Boycotts Over Relationship to ICE ReedPOP of NYCC, C2E2, ECCC, MCM, Star Wars Celebration, BookCon, and MagicCon has responded to boycott threats over its relationship with ICE

Just FYI, you won't see me at the big ReedPop conventions (ECCC, SDCC, C2E2, NYCC, etc) because their parent company is infamous for feeding people's data to ICE.

Honestly it wasn't a hard call, half these shows put all the artists in haunted basements now anyway bleedingcool.com/pop-culture/...

If the truck is not covered in scratches and mud and does not have some questionable detritus in the bed, the other trucks make fun of it in the parking lot.

A reasonably large, velvety American Staffie mix named Rosie is cuddling a tall, long, rangy kitten named Garbanzo. Rosie's fur is very short and neat and sleek, and she's an appealing blue-and-white coloration with soft light brown eyes, a cold nose, and a happy wag for everybody. 

Garbanzo's fur is fluffy but dense and short. He has a lean angular build and a narrow face and might have Oriental Shorthair ancestry. He has a loud, musical meow and loves to put his paws on the people he likes. 

They are both lying on a queen size human bed with red cotton sheets. Rosie has Garbanzo tucked against her belly, under her front left leg. Her muzzle rests gently on his head and neck.

Another picture of the previous pair Rosie and Garbanzo snuggling. 

This time, the sheets on the human bed are blue. Rosie is lying on top of her dog bed on one side of the bed, and Garbanzo is lying where the human would sleep normally. They are both sleeping on their sides and their noses are touching even in slumber. 

They look very content and comfortable, and clearly love each other.

Here's a picture of a dog snuggling a half-grown kitten. Two of them. Timeline cleanse!

I know it's a fun place to shop for stylish clothing, housewares, beauty products and packaged food at affordable prices. The problem is the bigotry. Spend the billions in reparations to the people you threw under the bus.

Anne Frank died of typhus in a camp

she wasn't shot
she wasn't gassed

she got sick
and had no healthcare
poor nutrition
unsanitary conditions

this is what we are seeing
these two things are the same

I don't trust you

that's it

we have to LET THEM ALL OUT!

Fishtopher, a classic brown tabby cat with green eyes, sits in a sunbeam. He is brightly illuminated and looks out into the distance. His pupils are small from the light, and he looks relaxed but alert. He places his front feet together politely, with his tail curled towards his body. Matilda, a white and brown tabby cat, sits on a basket in the background, but is slightly blurry.

One of my favorite TAS illustrations I got to do for Star Trek Adventures. The outfit is based on a never used outfit for Young Spock. It never made it to a colorist so I took a cue from Irv Kaplan's color sense. #TOSSatNight

MediaDailyNews: FTC Endorses Age-Verification Tech Web companies can collect personal information from young children in order to verify their ages, the FTC said this week in a new policy statement.

The FTC’s new policy on age verification "will allow businesses to do more of what they want to do, which is vacuum up young people's information," EFF’s Adam Schwartz told MediaPost. "It's a threat to privacy to force people to upload this information." www.mediapost.com/publication...

A series of photos of a bar of soap on a rope shaped like the Mutter museum’s β€œSoap Lady”, a saponified corpse fished out of an alkali bog. The soap looks like a person lying down, their hands resting lightly on their thighs. Their mouth is wide open in possibly a scream, and sunken pits are her eyes.

It’s pretty upsetting.

I bought a bunch of Christmas gifts from them once and they gave me a free Soap Lady Soap

Eventually my partner asked that I not keep it in the shower because it freaked her out

It was really good soap

Dan Simmons, noted racist, has died. He wrote Hyperion, which contained a good short story and then a lot of other words, which many of us read anyway because it was the Nineties and Waldenbooks had a limited science fiction section.

This is a good thread explaining the capability of those state Patrol aircraft in Minnesota. This is the same level of detail they were getting during the uprising in 2020, better than what the federal government could send, then.
