Thread on Dan Boultwood's victim who waives her anomity to talk about the experience. For those who didn't see the original reporting, this is the only significant coverage. Maddie says how she's disappointed there wasn't more public introspection and conversation over this, and she's right.

George is a stand-up dude who's been coming up to shoot the shit with me at cons since before most of you knew who I was. This comic looks fun as hell and I want to check it out. Let's get him the rest of the way there so I can read it, come on

True words spoken from the heart. Want me to yell at you, too??? Come see the show! Three performances left!!! www.hollywoodfringe.org/projects/13372
Jake telling us to “get the fuck out” because #hollywoodfringefestival needs the theater was the perfect ending to the most entertaining 90 minutes of live theater you’ve likely to see anytime soon. 3 more performances, run don’t walk.
Goodness gracious. The great Gabriel Hardman is recommending our show!!! Look, obviously I'm going to tell you the show is good, but I'm gonna LeVar Burton it for you and say don't have to take my word for it, listen to Gabriel Hardman!!!
Just saw @jakefromcomics.bsky.social’s play Waiting For [Gal] Godot as part of Hollywood Fringe. Really impressed. Funny, smart, profane — highly recommended. I go to a lot of Fringe shows every year and this is one of the best I’ve seen. www.hollywoodfringe.org/projects/13372
Oh dang, just checked and tomorrow night's performance of WAITING FOR GAL GADOT is 100% SOLD OUT! That means if you haven't bought your tickets yet, only three more performances! Get 'em while the getting is good! www.hollywoodfringe.org/projects/13372
The people have spoken, and they love WAITING FOR GAL GADOT!!!! Four more chances to see it! www.hollywoodfringe.org/projects/133...
My play opens TONIGHT, L.A.! Word is some tix are available, but act now! If you cannot make it tonight, you've got four other opportunities throughout June to see what some are calling The Theatrical Experience of Our Times (some is me, I'm calling it that). www.hollywoodfringe.org/projects/13372
Rupert "Ripper" Giles is legitimately one of my all-time favorite television characters and I think the real secret sauce to what made that show work. His ability to ground everything while never giving up the humor and heart was a cornerstone of the show. One of the all-time great not-dad TV dads.
Anthony Head, best known for his roles in “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Ted Lasso,” has died at 72
Tomorrow is OPENING NIGHT! If you're in L.A., please come see this wild, funny, and personal play I wrote and am acting in! If you're not in L.A., you've still got time to hop on that plane! Or at the very least tell your favorite Angelenos about it! www.hollywoodfringe.org/projects/13372

At last night's rehearsal one of our cast got silly and dropped a bunch of lines and moments from the show into classic meme formats as a goof, and I was extremely tickled by them. Want to get the jokes? Come see the show! www.hollywoodfringe.org/projects/133...

One of the best things I saw on stage last year is going to be at Hollywood Fringe next month. It's by @jakefromcomics.bsky.social. You should go see it. www.hollywoodfringe.org/projects/13372
Did Jake Thomas get overly emotional and choked up talking about character deaths on this episode? YOU BET HE DID.
Nobody has died on Nic's watch...just yet! Get ready to join Nic Nino and Jake Thomas as they debate. Ellen Boener moderates. The next episode of #Superlatives drops TONIGHT at 12am PST: https://ow.ly/fSn650YOcvN #comics #podcast #comicpodcast #spiderman #comicbookfans
You're talking about "mantasy," some ridiculous sales nonsense ginned up to make men feel safe to enjoy things. I'm talking about MANT!, the fake film in Joe Dante's delightful MATINEE. We are not the same. youtu.be/7-brLyrdTyA?...
In the midst of all this chaos, it is truly and honor and a privilege to work on this book with this team. They're really doing some wonderful work here, and I am so thrilled to be a part of it.
‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ #17 is a game-changer @geneluenyang.bsky.social @freddieart.bsky.social #comicsky #TMNT #TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles #NCBD @idwpublishing.com Read @cjwritesstuff.bsky.social's review:
Doing 5 Calls about Iran madness to feel like I'm doing SOMETHING. Leaving depressed voicemails on my reps' service probably isn't doing much, certainly isn't making me feel any better, but I guess it's something. Shout into the ever-yawning void with me, won't you? 5calls.org/issue/stop-i...
HELL YEAH, I've gotten to chat with David a bit about this book and it sounds incredible. If you're in or around Portland, I bet this event will be cool as hell. Wish I could be there.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT!!! Please join me for the release of my new book -- BLACK FILM at the Hollywood Theatre. We'll also be screening my legendary blaxploitation documentary. Third Eye Books will be selling copies of the book at the theatre. Get tickets in advance. hollywoodtheatre.org/show/david-f...

First episode is @davewielgosz.bsky.social VS @jakebrianwilliams.bsky.social to determine, what else, Best First Issue, with me as judge.
Also, after salivating over all the beautiful art @marclaming.bsky.social has been posting, how could I not back this book. Just look at how gorgeous this is!!! @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/798...
I just posted a bit ago how excited I was to finally get all of @stephenrbissette.bsky.social 's Taboo anthology, now they're Kickstarting a collection of his TYRANT? Better believe I backed it! @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/com...
Hey, you know Frank Miller? One of the main inspirations for Eastman & Laird creating the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? He just did his first-ever official TMNT drawing, and it rules. TMNT #20: The 300th Issue Special is shaping up to be a hell of a thing. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...
USPS is "losing money" because people need and use it. The money allocated to it being used so handily does not mean it's broken, it means it's working. This is like saying you need to shut down a food pantry because all the food is gone. No. Wrong. That means you need more food.

Always been more of a comics reader than collector, but years 'n years ago I inherited a few copies of @stephenrbissette.bsky.social 's Taboo magazine from a friend and have always wanted the full collection. Finally pulled the trigger and found the missing issues. Great collection of gonzo comics.
I just saw this and can't stop staring at it. @jamesstokoe.bsky.social is such a master! Absolutely incredible piece.

I loved the Angelika film center, even worked there for a summer in college. Had no idea it was actually named after a person. Thanks for creating a haven for independent movies that also allowed a poor college kid to almost entirely live off of popcorn for a summer.
Just seeing this now. The Angelika really is an institution, even just thinking of things mentioned in this article, I remember seeing both Clerks and Barcelona during their first runs at the theater, and being massively affected by both. RIP to the actual Angelika - I had no idea.
Every time one of these Marc Laming Dan Dare pages shows up in my timeline I stop and stare. Incredible work, absolutely stunning!
@b7comics.bsky.social are bringing back Dan Dare in the first of 3 graphic novels retooled for the 21st Century! A fab script from @alexdecampi.bsky.social and @marclaming.bsky.social art is just stonking. This won’t happen without your support so sign up here. www.kickstarter.com/projects/798...
