"Xavier Worthy must have mistaken the field for a nap zone, finishing with a generous 0.00 points." Genuinely tacky commentary by their ChatGPT bot.

"Xavier Worthy... was practicing for a career in 'not contributing.'" Thanks, @yahoofantasy.bsky.social for your laughably awful AI recaps.

Imagine distributing junk like this and asking people to pay for more fantasy insights. Maybe have one human on staff to avoid embarrassing shit like this.

In retrospect, showcasing a game-winning FG by Matt Bryant on the stadium Halo Board during the first half was perhaps tempting fate.

Playing a Matt Bryant highlight of a game winning FG on the halo board shortly before Younghoe Koo’s first doink probably didn’t help the narrative.

If yall don’t like a tv show or movie, you don’t have to post about it. You can talk about it with friends, or post about something you actually enjoy or just go on about your business.

This applies double for people trying to work in the entertainment industry

Takes place in the Elmore Leonard universe, and expands out to Out of Sight, Justified and (kind of sort of) Karen Cisco and Maximum Bob.

Cover to FROM BEYOND THE UNKNOWN 5.

Two police officers have just arrested and handcuffed "Mr. X" -- helpfully identified by a prominent wanted poster -- but Mr. X is revealed to be a gorilla in a human-like mask.

"Do you think your puny handcuffs can hold me?" he says.

Sometimes you just have to let art flow over you.

I have NEVER heard β€œdaunt” used in a sentence. Always β€œdaunted.” Even every definition I’ve found has β€œdaunted” in the sample sentence.

Two panels from a THIMBLE THEATER daily. 

Popeye drinks deeply from a poisoned desert pool, then says, "I've drunk worse stuff'n this an' paid money for it."

Dwayne McDuffie told me that there WAS a script for Damage Control during that time and that it was super close to being greenlit. I think for New Line?

It sounded very fun - but had some hurdles that would be hard to clear. The biggest one being that they couldn’t use big Marvel characters.

It’s in the top 25%. Teen Titans Go is the show that is way up there. Pulling Sex and the City numbers

Feel very lucky to say that 3 of the series I have written on are in the top 25% of most viewed programs on Netflix. One of them is in the top 10%! Gratifying to know that the audience is finding these shows and enjoying the work.

During my morning run, an old lady warned me to stay out of South Pass if I’m not wearing South Pass colors.

What are South Pass colors?!?

I am extremely late to this party but if you love classic country - or just great storytelling about larger-than-life personalities - you need to check out the Cocaine and Rhinestones podcast. Season 2 centers on the lives of George Jones and Tammy Wynette and I am loving it.

I didn’t know Peter David - we only met once - but he still went to bat for me on a pitch I submitted, helping get it published. It was a thrill hearing that story from the editor. Very kind of him to do, especially for a stranger. His run on X-Factor is one of my all time faves. Rest in peace.

War Machine. Venom. US Agent. When Marvel characters get black versions of their costumes, it almost always becomes my favorite version of their look.

I really loved Thunderbolts - and have always loved US Agent - so I’m spending a lazy Sunday checking the rust on my drawing skills.

Based on the old convo I had with @merrillhagan.bsky.social about how Jayce was originally meant to reveal having a guitar when he raises the island on the alchemist ship . Playing different chords would trigger different spells. I am forever devastated that we lost this.
