The issues of Mr. Majestic with the Ed McGuinness art are some of my favorite comics ever. I just love his art so much. Pure comic book fun.

This shit is just so cool. The first issue has Mr. Majestic restructuring the entire solar system to save it from a Galactus type monster.

Mr. Majestic is my favorite Supermanalog (of which there are so very many).

Maybe the most fun issue is #3, where Maj goes for a night on the town with Maxine Manchester, who would have been a great and fun character to integrate more into the DCU when they did the New 52.

Deep thoughts about AI and "artificial life" that are probably more relevant than ever. How long before the Church of Gort is a real thing?

This last line from Maj is just my intoverted ass every time I get dragged out of the house. (and I left in the panel above because it's just funny).

I've seen a lot of these video game covers lately. Did Mr. Majestic do it first?

The plot of issue 5 involves this orange-skinned monster who wants to take over the world with a nonsense-filled speech and the most unbelievable part of it now is that the audience sees right through it and laughs at him, because the speech itself is just the normal stuff the orange-skinned monster who currently thinks he rules the world says and that people applaud him for.

Seriously. Ed McGuinness was born to draw this kind of character.

Surprised we didn't get an Ultravixens spin-off series. 5 years earlier they absolutely would have warranted a mini.

Sadly, Ed McGuinness leaves to draw Superman properly after issue 6, and issues 7-9 do not appeal to me nearly as much artistically but also they do the first 3-part story when all the other ones have been single parters and it is not very good (YMMV).

Plains Bison | Bryan Maynes

fun fact holes in the ground created by bison rolling in mud form important habitats for other creatures, providing shallow ponds for amphibians to lay their eggs

Also, something that struck me as so funny when I was watching the TNG pilot....

137-year-old Bones McCoy tells Data (about the Enterprise): "You treat her like a lady. And she'll always bring you home."

Which is funny when I just watched Voyager, where Janeway treats her ship like a battering ram, and it still brings her home. Twice.

the notes on this post give me life

[3000s]

sometimes older people get annoyed when i say "no problem" instead of "you're welcome" but the truth is it's literally not a problem

[3000s]

and sometimes you're not welcome

there’s something very beautiful about being able to try again tomorrow

[mintbecrazy]

I have been trying tomorrow for the past 3 years

[kosmogrl]

and you still have tomorrow to try again

Photos of Trans Women Depicted as Saints and Religious Icons [x]

October 25, 2017

With Virgenes de la Puerta (“Virgins of the Door” in Spanish), Juan Jose Barboza-Gubo looks to honor the lives of Lima’s transgender community. The photographic series, created in collaboration with Mroczek, reimagines trans women from his birthplace—including activists from the Peruvian trans rights organization Feminas—as saints, cultural icons, and religious figures from 19th century portraiture.

[…]

“Virgenes de la Puerta is showing as part of Canon at the Museum of Sex in New York until January 15, 2018. Part of Canon is also on display at the Lugar de la Memoria (LUM) museum in Peru, which is providing support for Peru’s first art memorial to remember LGBTQ victims of hate crime.

I just googled this and… yes, it’s absolutely real.

And there are so many articles and videos and discussions. Like, the scientific community is buzzing about this.

So much research will have to be redone because the data was absolutely compromised, off by orders of magnitude, by using standard lab gloves.

The world is probably not horrifically contaminated by microplastics. Sterile laboratories, however, are contaminated by latex and nitrile gloves.

Thank God someone bothered to check.
