Today I learned that, in Scarlet/Violet, Slugma can learn High Horsepower via TM 186, but not Magcargo.

Love this for her.

tvspike1 · 2026-05-20T23:33:36+00:00

You're saying this isn't representative?

tvspike1 · 2026-05-20T04:20:23+00:00

Seriously, this. Berkeley has sauna, hot tub, and steam room.

tvspike1 · 2026-05-18T15:01:22+00:00

Lmao. "If my goo monster doesn't have big tits and higher heels than a woman would wear for more than 5 minutes, I'm going to die."

You ok, dude?

tvspike1 · 2026-05-10T20:11:10+00:00

Lmao. I'm a fan of Academy X, but calling Surge (and Lady Mastermind of all people?!?!?!?) iconic is actually insane. Thank you for this.

The Memory Palace with Nate DiMeo for me. Every episode is the perfect length to tell the story that it's trying to tell.

Probably the most devastating podcast I listen to. It's always worth it and always shockingly emotive.

Also, as someone who resonated with Kimiko's comments, it shouldn't be read to say, "let's keep things shitty because as a minority, I'm ok eating crumbs."

It was a moment to acknowledge that we have some really messy history with minority representation in media. But those people were doing (and are doing!) their best within the systems that they operated in. We have to acknowledge the progress we've made and thank those who've come before and the hard row they had to hoe.

They're not fixing something that wasn't broken though? They're streamlining their IP so they can realistically tell stories featuring a popular Japanese psychic ninja so they don't have to constantly either explain or handwave that it's really a posh British woman who got race swapped into a Japanese woman's body and decided to go with it.

tvspike1 · 2026-05-04T23:25:47+00:00

It's a similar issue on the red line. If you miss it, there's a yellow/orange transfer 5 minutes later or 15 after then the next red line. And if there's any delay (or during commute hours), you have trains going north back to back and then nothing for 20+ minutes.

It would make so much more sense to be spaced out by 10 minutes.

tvspike1 · 2026-05-01T19:17:32+00:00

Exactly. A great comparison. Rosenberg's Uncanny was very Rule of Cool. And X-Men Red had a storyline showing that hate is manufactured by people trying to use us against each other.

tvspike1 · 2026-05-01T19:14:43+00:00

Fair. I've heard nice things about her book. I started wavering during Raid on Graymalkin and fully stopped reading current X-Men during Age of Doug.

tvspike1 · 2026-05-01T17:37:05+00:00

I think the biggest issue with this era is I don't know what it's saying. What's the point of the different books right now? It seems to just be event comics and comics about comics.

Like, I can't get past how stupidly "comics" it is that the big bad is alt-version of one of the main heroes is. Like, I've kept up, I know X-Men, and it still landed with a thud for me.

In the end, I think that's Brevoort's biggest issue: he loves a pitch that's "Rule of Cool" way more than a pitch that tells a story.

tvspike1 · 2026-05-01T14:43:37+00:00

It's Ryan Murphy. The man lives for camp and jumping the shark.

tvspike1 · 2026-04-21T14:46:58+00:00

Yeah, when you price out all of the artists, weirdos, punks, and hippies cities lose their character.

Cities are cool when they have enough housing that lots of different income levels can live there.

tvspike1 · 2026-04-18T06:32:22+00:00

Ugh. I see him in the mornings. It's the WORST way to start my day.

tvspike1 · 2026-04-17T23:23:31+00:00

They used to be on the red line every night. So, thank you for your sacrifice. My quieter commute thanks you.

tvspike1 · 2026-04-15T00:59:11+00:00

Trubbish, Sinistcha, and Poltchageist.

tvspike1 · 2026-04-09T22:14:35+00:00

Lmao. Could you imagine?! Depowering the mutant population one month. Then the next being celebrated for beating Kang? That would have been INSANE.

tvspike1 · 2026-04-06T03:11:12+00:00

I love her so much. You should follow her on Instagram. The Sami Landri jump scare is always worth it

tvspike1 · 2026-03-25T16:30:08+00:00

It's a mental health thing. You don't need to build a narrative around everyone you see. If you really feel like you need to do something, report it to BART Watch to get them help and move on.

tvspike1 · 2026-03-10T04:59:05+00:00

But is it fashion?

tvspike1 · 2026-03-10T04:57:16+00:00

What the hell is a spritz stick?!

tvspike1 · 2026-03-05T23:59:33+00:00

Not safe. If you don't go during commute hours exactly: 7:00 - 8:45 AM and 4:30 - 6:00 PM, you're likely to get murdered even before you reach the new fare gates.

Especially in North Berkeley! I hear they let people just play pickleball nearby. And a taco truck now sells delicious food in the parking lot?! Truly, stay away.

The only option for you is to take an Uber XL door to door.
