Many folks succumb to gloom and doom and defeatism about anti-war activism. This is a huge mistake. People need to recognize that the stupendous movement against the Vietnam War has never gone away . . . . We are now locked in a gigantic tug-of-war, and we need to recognize that, sometimes, in a tug-of-war, you have to pull as hard as you can just to hold your ground.

H. Bruce Franklin quoted in an Eulogy by Arvind Dilawar in The Progressive. Ninety Years of a Life to End Wars

H. Bruce Franklin, who was deeply involved in the movement against the Vietnam War, died earlier this month.

Just a bunch of silly/dumb Marvel doodles.

-Ant Man gave me an interest in MODOK. (I prefer the comics/2021 show over the MCU version. The fact that he has a family and a wife is hilarious and adorable. Also this was literally my first time drawing him.)

–Wanted an excuse to draw Ben/The Thing with his godson. And more Hulk!Dad with Kamala because it’s cute. (Also this version of the Hulk’s design belongs to @artistcaptainbendy

–In addition to Peter, nearly most of the friends have donned a Spider suit in the comics. Ned deserved his own special Spidey costume so that we can have a group of Spider scouts/Spider rangers.

-Also, if Marvel has a superhero with a split personality who is a goofball (at least in the MCU) then he needs to meet with the OTHER known superhero with a split personality that is also a goofball.

Suffering: The Collage

Ok, when I watched the opening of 1899 it reminded me of the teaser film that was going to be used as the title sequence for Zack Snyder's Justice League, so here it is, a combo of things that I've lost 🤪 It isn't much about them having parallels but about the look and idea.

I’m sorry but just simply cannot get the idea of the Riddler and Batman/Edward and Bruce sharing earphones it’s haunting me in a good way

Inaugural Darkstarathon is Long, But Not Particularly Strange or Trippy

Phil Lesh’s long-promised, inaugural “Darkstarathon” is long at 42 minutes, but not particularly strange or trippy.

It also does not resemble what Lesh described in November 2023 as a “‘Dark Star’ that pauses but never ends.”

As with his first “Terrapin Clubhouse Session,” the former Grateful Dead bassist was joined by guitarists Grahame Lesh and Daniel Donato; drummer John Molo; singer Nicki Bluhm and pianist Holly Bowling - the star instrumentalist in the bunch.

“It’s in everyone’s power to suggest a song, even if the song is not on the list,” the elder Lesh told his collaborators before they started off with a brief segment of the titular number.

“If we’re in a key and it gives you an idea for something … start playing.”

He’s taken at his word as someone later nudges the band toward “Here Comes Sunshine.” The musicians play a few bars before perhaps realizing they couldn’t pull off the vocals and moving on.

And to erase any doubt, the session ended with Grahame Lesh and Donato singing “When I Paint My Masterpiece” as a triple-time shuffle that worked neither musically nor vocally.

In between come versions of “Franklin’s Tower” (with Donato on vocals), the Dead’s 1970s arrangement of “Good Lovin’” (G. Lesh) and a Bluhm-sung “Morning Dew.”

Macabre Month 6 Part III: Ted Bundy: American Boogeyman (2021)

In today's review, I find out what it takes to track down an American Boogeyman. As I attempt a #positive review of the 2021 film Ted Bundy: American Boogeyman #ChadMichaelMurray #HollandRoden #LinShaye #OliviaDeLaurentis #JakeHays #VictoriaDiGiorgio

True crime, the lurid recounting of often horrific murders shows no relenting, cases both from the highly infamous to the obscure, are picked apart and presented in detail. In 2021, with the rise of documentaries and dramas dedicated to these murders and justice, an infamous director turned his niche of alternative true crime examinations. Fuelled by the increasing passion, he examined the crimes…
