Wait is this out already? I thought it got pushed back.

If you haven’t read it, Joe Casey on WildCATs (w Sean Phillips and then Dustin Nguyen) is a great run (although it starts w having to clean up some Scott Lobdell crap).

Thank you for the excu—err reason…to reread WildCATs.

For what it’s worth, I’m rooting for Canada.

Last night, on the eve of SNAP funds expiring, there was a Gatsby-themed party at Mar-a-Lago. The tagline was “A little party never killed anybody.” Aside from the “let them eat cake” fuck you of this, DID NOBODY READ EVEN THE CLIFF NOTES OF THE GREAT GATSBY???

One thing the AWS outage should show is that these companies are far more embedded at the institutional level than people think and that’s precisely why students were asking their universities to disinvest rather than pushing individual boycotts.

It’s Carrie Fisher’s birthday.
Lovely pic of Carrie watching her mother Debbie Reynolds on stage.

I had no idea how much our takes on Kitty Pryde lined up, but godDANG your whole rundown on her was my read on her when I wrote Carrie in those books.

I've loved every ep of Here Comes Tomorrow, but this one had be nodding along like a rock song, only instead of a beat it was because all opinions expressed were absolutely correct.

Nothing to see here, just pumping my fist in the air while driving and hearing @notquitehydepark.bsky.social draw the line that connects X-Men and George Eliot on @josie.zone and @tallgirlpetunia.bsky.social's fantastic podcast.

It’s not like I actually worked w any of the folks on Dragon Day, but it still feels like a win for the team whenever someone from that cast does something cool.

No Doubt’s “Tragic Kingdom” turns 30 today! Go schedule that colonoscopy

A key part of my mental wiring is that whenever my dog poops in tall grass, my brain cues up the chorus of "Secondhand News" by Fleetwood Mac.

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

October is the best month of the year and the best ppl are born this month. This is science.

You’re an embarrassment.

Woot!!

Thank you I thought I was the only one.

The guy who says windmills cause whale suicides has thoughts about Tylenol.

Shit I thought it was tomorrow does this mean I have to go to that work thing tomorrow night?

EVEN BETTER!!

Honestly I’m gonna bump Caro for y’all on my commute this morning.

Rushing through THE POWER BROKER on audiobook so I can start @josie.zone‘s X-Men podcast is a depressingly accurate summation of my personality.

"Peter! Susan! Edmund! Lucy! Where have you children been?"
"Narnia?"
"What's Narnia?"
"Narnia business."

I am moving to the city to vote for this guy, like, tomorrow. This was the straw.

It’s been my companion on my commute for the last month or so.

If I got a decent job in Chicago we’d be in Pilsen in a heartbeat.
