As you can see here, right from the very first day he entered our house, Jim found great difficulty in getting settled and making the environment his own.

THREAD.

3 & 1/4 years ago, with no warning, a brilliant orange farm cat wandered over from the draughty barn where he'd been living, in rural Cornwall, & decided he wanted to live with us instead.

We decided to call him Jim.

This is the first photo I took of him, on that night: December 1st 2022

So I think the thing you want do is, you get Jose Molina and/or Jane Espenson, Diane Ruggiero-Wright, Tim Minear or I dunno, Rob Thomas and Ted Griffin, or whoever you think would be the absolute best writing team for a FIREFLY revival all together and you say...

"Create us a new show."

Future generations...

Batman and Robin XI:

When I was kid, I always dug the imaginary stories of the Batman and Robin of the future written by Alfred.😊

Cheers!

After hearing a bad idea it’s fun to say: “Why don’t you take that to Shark Tank?

I know that we all like goofin' on the 1967 Spider-Man cartoon because everything is off-model and the animation is so stilted, but look at this gorgeous art from "The Origin of Spider-Man," the first episode where Ralph Bakshi took over as director:

$3.7 Billion: Estimated Cost of Epic Fury’s First 100 Hours Operation Epic Fury costs nearly $900 million per day, driven by the large expenditure of munitions. Because most of this is not in the budget, the Pentagon will soon need to ask for more money.

Never forget that the U.S. can always find money for war, but not for education, health care, or to help those in need. This is 100% a choice. And it is 100% the wrong one. www.csis.org/analysis/37-...

'Exploit' #1 (2026) main cover by artist Emiliana Pinna and colorist Rebecca Good. This comic book cover resembles has a punk journalism kind of aesthetic. The woman is wearing a white shirt, black tie and glasses. She has black hair and nail polish plus purple lipstick. Her hands have many rings and she is making a hand gesture like she will blow someone away. Her body is bursting through a fictional magazine's cover. There is both trade dress for the fictional magazine and the comic at the top. The magazine also has two men on it. The man on the left has blond hair and a blonde beard. While the man on lower right slightly covered up by an "authorized" label has brown hair and is clean shaven. The lower left side has creative credits.

AI doesn’t have intelligence and isn’t sentient! Stop it!! We can’t even treat living beings (humans or animals) with empathy and respect. Maybe work on that first.

Every Metabaron story is basically the same: “Did you know? The Metabaron is AWESOME?”

And he is. The Metabaron IS awesome.
