I am truly enjoying my reread of the Claremont X-Men run. Rachel Summers has just arrived. JRJR was doing fine work as the artist.

The famous cover to Xmen 176 that shows Wolvie,claws bared, in the foreground and Rogue, new to the team, running behind him. The artist is Paul Smith.

This here is the good crack.

I take it as the Pirates being “in” on Baty like they are on everything else: in headline only.

The Athletic can’t keep a regular baseball podcast going, but motherfuckin’ Fangraphs publishes 3x a week. I was wrong to wander away from Meg’s wit and Ben’s central casting nerd voice. All hail @ewpod.bsky.social.

Another tick in the “we can’t have nice things” ledger. The NYT blows.

I see Bugs Bunny is trending. The Epstein files are taking everyone down.

The youngest wanted to watch Stranger Things. We decided he was old enough. It became a family watch. We’re finishing season 4. I gotta say I love this bloated, imperfect show.

I just watched Shakespeare in Love for the first time in ages. The most endearing arc is that of Tom Wilkensen who goes from thug to lover of theater. Sweet film.

They look like siblings.

Hard to get up today.

Don’t let Schumer fuck this up.

I have very very strong opinions about Wicked as an enterprise.

Mike Lupica, a blowhard blowing hard since the 1980s.

My failure to do this is my origin story.

Megan is one of our great historians writing deeply researched but entirely accessible history. BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ

I thought you were going to say Star Trek. 🤣

🤣 What was it?

I think it’s a restaurant or a popsicle. Never enjoyed one myself.

It’s a marked difference from the earlier seasons which I’m watching with my kids.

He is a barely sentient haircut whose political career must end.

I noticed this in the final season of Stranger Things.

I’m listening to a book that I didn’t realize was fantasy/fantasy (I thought it was urban fantasy) while doodling ideas for the next comic. I got into a zone, rare these days, and missed all the world building. My back also hurts. Time to stand and walk around.

Well I’m your huckleberry.

This Supergirl comic that inspired the movie coming out this summer is goddamn boring. Needs 1000% more Lobo.

I would have liked to keep Pete. #metssky

The Dodgers kind of bought those championships. Ohtani, Betts, Snell, Yamamoto, that handsome guy, the bullpen. Now, the Mets can’t buy a championship. Oy.

Man, I hope Ronny Mauricio is a good leftfielder.

His dad pitched for the Yankees in the 90s. He had good stuff but never knew where it was going. I think he was on the ‘96 club.

I thought not seeing the videos was his whole thing.

If the Dems vote to increase ICE funding for "better training" (overseen by whom? accountable to what?) I will never give a single Dem a single penny ever again
