Happy new followers and bluesky! I’m a writer and professional Podcaster (The Debrief Weekly Report/Comic Industry Insiders)! I write comics (kids to adult), prose, and most recently essays doing deep dives into topics like Star Trek! More projects on the way!

BC conservative candidate Jordan McIntosh was dropped after his X account called “DeathNight771” was discovered by BC NDP candidate Callista Ryan. McIntosh was caught praising Hitler and posted the N-word more than 40 times in the last year. #bcpoli #cdnpoli

I don’t collect Funkos but I sort of want the entire Veilguard lineup now just to help me overcome this grief of losing BioWare

Still absolutely gutted at the BioWare news. RIP my Dragon Age and Mass Effect children

Video games has decided to discontinue its once leading product, the video game

Very heavy news as our former studio, BioWare closes its doors today. It was a formative place for many. However, many former BioWare devs are scattered around the industry. Find them, support them. Like, follow, comment and help us prove there is still support for the types of games we make!

Gonna replay the Dragon Age series again later this year and just be sad with my complicated Thedas children

I just backed Be Yourself! Oh, Not Like That... The Deluxe Edition on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/the...

Some great news for the Canadian comics crew who also love Murdoch Mysteries

Backed! Indie and small studios need support now more than ever! Check out DUST: Origins by Airship Syndicate on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/dus...

Twitch and Amazon are being sued in a class action over claims that the tech companies harvest creators' video streams without permission or compensation to train Amazon's generative AI program. Story: www.courthousenews.com/online-strea...

Sitting through a puppet episode is my own nightmare version of a Fear Factor challenge.

Saber Interactive has denied renewed claims that it replaced a former Lead Writer so it could “use ChatGPT” in the development of the recently announced title, Rideshare “Stimulator.” In a statement to PC Gamer, Saber also acknowledged previously undisclosed genAI use elsewhere in the title.

For you fellow fans of the timeless classic: VAN HELSING. It’s getting a pretty steelbook release WITH SPECIAL FEATURES. I tell you this so someone will stop me from buying yet another copy of this ridiculous film.

Suspicious of or flat out hate generative "A.i." and what it's doing to our culture, our minds, our environment, and every other damn thing? Here's a starter pack for you! go.bsky.app/3w9a45V

FINALLY!!!!

Alex Jones, who has not paid a single cent to the Sandy Hook families despite owing them $1.4 billion, has been in a $3,000 per night suite in Hawaii for the last few weeks illegally using the InfoWars accounts to boost his traffic. Today he said there's going to be a national draft in three weeks.

Don't fucking buy Tim Horton's food, y'all. Don't buy anything that ties with with Harry Potter. DO NOT GIVE THAT GARBAGE PERSON ANY MORE OF YOUR MONEY. She doesn't need another cent of it. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Once again reminding people who run companies that they have autonomy, and that there is freedom (and money!) in trying to appeal to actual humans and not the machine pretending to be billions of them.

You haunt that narrative, Claudia!

Hi. So your boy needs a kidney & I’m officially on the #transplant list. Please share this as it would mean a lot to me to get a living donor.

I cannot be contained. #interviewwiththevampire

Canadians! Where do you buy your physical media for movies/shows outside of Amazon/Best Buy?

This has renewed life into me. I yearn for physical copies of the media I love and the Interview with the Vampire soundtrack has amazing scores.

I need physical releases of all the scores and music from Interview with the Vampire. Daniel Hart and Sam Reid are doing amazing and it needs to be immortalized in physical form! #iwtv #tvl

If the world can have Love Island, I want the Night Island/Devil’s Minion. it’s only fair. #iwtv #tvl

If Interview with the Vampire/The Vampire Lestat does the Devil’s Minion arc, I can leave this earth content.

I’m about to have the best night. #themummy #themummyreturns #thescorpionking #ps2

How big of a Dragon Age fan are you? Somehow I own a rare exclusive copy of The Last Flight, that I dearly treasure. Anyone else have rare Dragon Age merch they love?

My kingdom for Dragon Age merch. Except Funko pops. You can keep those.

To those willing to wield the wedge, you have our greatest thanks - the Wedge of Destiny Shield Pillow has been fully funded! Preorders close tonight and will be unavailable after April 30, with limited additional quantities available late 2026.

Tired of subscriptions and the “always online” tech. So bringing the classics back (out of storage) so I can listen to music in peace. #ipod (do I start learning how to fix/mod these?)

Did they really just kill Doctor Who? In 2026? 😭

Nothing like a cursed used marketplace find to really spruce up the office. And yes, he dances like he’s possessed. Can’t wait to get haunted.

Apparently if you come out of the closet publicly, you get rewarded with discounts during the pride month of June. 🖖🏳️‍🌈

Paint (by numbers heh) night and a viewing of the Mummy

I saw an artist comment that fellow artists “need to become comfortable talking about A*I” as a way to combat it, and I absolutely agree and it absolutely sucks.

@hellocookie.bsky.social and @heywhitney.bsky.social reveal why young readers are excited about the newest entry in their 'RACC Pack' #graphicnovel series. Listen to the conversation here truenorthcountrycomics.com/2026/05/22/c...

AI policies are coming.

So incredibly helpful!

Issue 4 of THE FLORIDA HIPPOPOTAMUS COCAINE MASSACRE is in stores NEXT week from @madcavestudios.com Is your buttocks ready for the terror?

Go and give these amazing comic writers the Hollywood treatment! ❤️🤟 go.bsky.app/KPW9RqB

I wish this was a unique experience but even in 2026, this stuff still happens to me in comic stores and events.

With us NOT supporting Amazon, with recent news that the B&N CEO supports AI books, with Diamond's descent and so many other factors against small pubs, now is the time to support directly! Shop indie! Tell your local comic/book shop to buy from indie pubs via wholesale! Make library requests!
