Everytime I've heard it, it was told as a joke. Company you keep I guess?

Hey it's Dugin! One of my favorite podcasts (seemingly on infinite hiatus) that deals mostly with the occult and high strangeness did an episode on this guy! Apparently he's Putin's Rasputin.

In Alabama a ton of people were staring at me... I was like... Do I have something on my face? Oh, you just think it's weird that a Latino guy is in your small family restaurant for breakfast?

I may have some insight here actually. I recently ate in a buffet (bonus, with the local church crowd that had just been released) in a small town about 45min from my house, the type of place that has no signage or anything (beyond the name on the front) because you've either been there before or someone you're with has, so you're just expected to know "plates here, line starts here, pay here, bathrooms hidden here for some reason," etc. I am a white guy, but never been to that small town, so all the patrons were looking at us like "who the fuck are those people" simply because they knew everyone else there at least in passing or "seen around town" but we stuck out like a sore thumb simply for being "new."

Could've just been that.

Wait til you hear about Glass Lizards (and other legless lizards.)

A new one is cool too though!

lie that nasa spent millions developing a space pen and the Russian just used a pencil.

I'm like 99% sure that "lie" is in reality not a "lie," but rather what is known in some circles as a "joke." Like, "A horse walks into a bar, the bartender asks 'why the long face?'" Isn't a "common lie" just because it's oft repeated and not factual, it's a joke.

Sure, crime has gone down recently in the subway to pre-pandemic levels, but there was still shit like this regularly pre-pandemic too. Definitely wouldn't leave your anything alone on the subway in NYC.

Also afaik (been a while) there is no bathroom for you to worry about leaving your stuff, people just piss in the subway cars themselves.

Well good to hear the Polish are stable.

Basically the head dev if graphene was a dick, but tbh so is Torvalds and I'm not about to stop using linux. That dev stepped down as head anyway iirc, still works on the project (which is good, cause he's good) but just isn't the face anymore (which is good, cause he is a dick lmao.)

Even if AI is, what we have now is mostly A with only the semblance of I. "Real" "AI" is not yet "real."

Insufflator

Really weird way to say "coke straw" but you do you.

 

End of month list is up! Small one for me but that's ok!

Operation Sunshine Already Dead #4 - Final issue of this run. Will there be another? Who knows but if there is I'll get it. Love the LPOTL crew's stuff, they also did Soul Plumber but I like this series better, I'll get whatever they do next.

William Of Newbury #3 - Loving this series! Based off an actual dude of a similar name, the series follows an anthropomorphized raccoon priest traveling and ridding the countryside of demons and foul spectres. The art is great imo, sort of reminds me of the old PSP game Death Jr, but like almost watercolored.

Drawing Blood #4 - Kevin Eastman rules. This series isn't about turtles but it's still pretty interesting so far!

Honorable mention to Falling In Love on the Path to Hell (3rd print). It's getting a 3rd for a reason, it's damn good! A cowboy and a cool lady samurai die and wash up in purgatory together, what's not to love? Cool art, good writing, and O'Hallorhan colors!

Well that's it for me! What're y'all grabbing this week?

 

What do y'all like? Get as granular and varied into genres as you want!

To start, I like: Punk, HxC, D-beat, d-trakt, metal, grindcore, sludge, stonermetal, jungle dnb, hardstyle, hardbass, pre-00 country, americana, blues, jazz, western, noise, anti-music, -gaze both shoe and zoomer, and many more!

If I start posting weird shit in here like Julie, or Vince Gill, or Ernest Tubb lmao, will y'all run me out of town or are y'all cool?

 

New list! Good week for me, I'm all in on a few of these:

Minor Threats II The Fastest Way Down #4 - Love Patton Oswalt, and Scott Hepburn's world building is cool as hell.

Sacrificers #10 - Love this series. Not all in on Rick Remender but this series is damn good. Pigeon is whooping ass.

Six Fingers #5 - Last issue of this one, been a good run combined with The One Hand

Universal Monsters Creature From The Black Lagoon Lives #4 -

Dick Tracy #3 - These new Dick Tracy comics have been pretty decent.

EC Epitaphs From The Abyss #1 - It's here! I've been waiting for this and Cruel Universe! New EC Horror and SF anthologies! I tried to put it on my list back when it was announced and my shop said "shove it it's too early" lol. I hope there's an Abyss-Keeper!

What're you pulling?

 

My Bad Escape From Peculiar Island #3 - It's dumb as shit, so so dumb, but so am I lol. It's funny though.

Man's Best #5 - Not so dumb, pretty great actually. Space travel through the eyes of some cybernetic pets, a zoo world, and some double crossery?! We'll find out in this issue what's up with that I'm sure!

Powerpuff Girls #1 - Ok I usually hate anything based on a previous IP, (this is a shining example of the type of thing I mean) but goddamn I loved PPG growing up. Someone talk me out of picking this up please.

Fishflies #7 - This is the end my friends. Been a great series, can't wait for the conclusion.

Remote Space #2 - #1 was good, not sure I'll stick it out for the rest but I'll try it again. Basically the plot is human evolution took two paths, one cybernetics and space travel and the other FEV from fallout and terrestrial livin', and there's about to be a war on.

Rifters #2 - I like Posehn, not sure I'll finish this one either though.

Biker Mice From Mars #1 - Oh jeez, another cartoon from my childhood?! Someone save me from myself!

For real though can someone call Danny Antonucci and tell him now's the time to publish "Ed's Comics" and make all the comics Ed would have been reading?!

Anyway that's it for me this week, what're y'all pullin'? And seriously someone talk me out of PPG and Biker Mice lmao.

 

This weeks list! Come and get it! Big one for me:

Dawnrunner #4 - Been loving this series so far, giant mechs vs eldritch kaiju but the mechs are somehow more than just mechs.

From The World Of Minor Threats Barfly #1 - You can bet if it says "Minor Threats" it's on my pull list. Been waiting for this one! Barfly is a punk dude who looks like he got Jeff Goldblumed ala The Fly. So far only really a background character, I look forward to him getting his own series.

Batman Gotham By Gaslight The Kryptonian Age #2 - Batman's alright.

From The DC Vault Death In The Family Robin Lives #1 - I do like Batman, and Mike Mignola

Ain't No Grave #3 - Scottie Young does it again

Falling In Love On The Path To Hell #2 - missed #1 but this looks good

Geiger #4 - Super-Fallout is pretty good so far

I Hate Fairyland Compendium Volume 1 The Whole Fluffing Tale TP -The first series 1-20 in a convenient package

Ice Cream Man #40 - pt 2 of the car crash issue, the other car's perspective.

Precious Metal #2 - I like the art in these a lot.

What are you pulling?

 

List is out! Small one for me which is good on the wallet for sure!

Space Ghost #3

That's it lol. I was missing one in my box last week that should be there this week though, so there's that! What're you grabbing?

 

List is up! Let's see here..

Animal Pound #4 - Updated retelling of Animal Farm, it's fantastic.

Rare Flavours #6 - This is the end of the road. This book has been fantastic, the art is great and so is the writing. I believe it was the same team that did The Many Deaths Of Laila Starr and I'll be following these two if they team up again. Ram V also wrote The One Hand which is a great series too.

Blue Book 1947 #5 - I like cheesy alien stuff, sue me lol. It's about the history of UFOs in the US, aptly named. I already new most of it but they did teach me some new stuff too, and I like the B side stories in there. Last issue.

Lester Of Lesser Gods #2 - Silly fun

Operation Sunshine Already Dead #3 - LPOTL guys, basically vampire oceans 11, one issue after this, can't wait to see what they have next!

William Of Newbury #2 (Of 4) - Cute raccoon monk fights demons, what's not to love? Also, there was a real guy by this name in the middle ages but I don't think he was a demon fighting monk.

Sacrificers #9 - Man shit has been going down in this series.

Universal Monsters Creature From The Black Lagoon Lives #3 - I'm a nerd lol. I think they're doing all the Universal Monsters which I may or may not pick up.

w0rldtr33 #11 - Shit has been going down in this series too lol.

Whoo! A lot of shit but a lot of shit I've been waiting on. What's on your lists?

 

New list is up! Small week for me but that's alright!

My Bad Escape From Peculiar Island #2 - It's dumb, I like dumb. I got this last week though, idk why it's on this list. Was surprised to see it last week since it wasn't on that list.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles The Last Ronin II Re-Evolution #2

Man's Best #4 - I've been digging Space Homeward Bound, excited for this one.

One Hand #5 - End of the series (maybe one more six fingers). Been good!

What are y'all getting?

 

I'm kinda new to collecting but as my collection grows I'm running into an issue, I need a decent way to store them.

Currently I have two BCW plastic boxes and one of their cardboards, and at least enough comics in a stack to fill another box.

What should I do? Should I stick with cardboard for price and use the plastic for the most valuable ones or larger runs like Ice Cream Man? Should I look into Legal size file cabinets? Some other comic furniture? I'm thinking it may be worth it.

Taking recommendations or just "I do X," anything helps, thanks!

 

List is up! Short list for me but one I'm excited about:

Bat-Man First Knight #2 - 1930s The Bat-Man (just had to lable it that way instead of "Batman" huh?) #1 was great!

Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees #5 - You know me, love this series

I Hate Fairyland #13 - This one is right up my alley as well

Napalm Lullaby #2 - #1 was ok, not sure I'll stick with it.

What're y'all reading?

 

They went easy on me this week!

Primer #1 - I totally didn't used to write graffiti so I'm definitely not intrigued by the cover. We'll see, if she's more bomber than "street artist" I'll be picking this up.

Six Fingers #2 - I think I prefer The One Hand so far but it's really cool having both sides. The One Hand (Ram V) follows the detective, The Six Fingers (Other Guy) follows the murderer.

That's it! Thankfully, because next week might be kinda heavy. What're you pullin'?

IRC Clients (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

Personally I used to use Pidgin, but since I moved my XMPP to Gajim because of OMEMO I have no need to stay tied to it necessarily. So I'm looking to expand my horizons, and I figured here's as good a place as any to start a discussion about Linux IRC clients.

What do y'all use? Terminal, GUI, both?
