I can’t recall another politician ever expressing this direct of a sentiment before. (depressing! it’s so simple!) it’s difficult to explain how it feels to wake up and find your country is bombing the place your family grew up. again

I started writing about BUFFY's "The Body" on the 25th anniversary and it spiraled into a personal story about other episodes that mattered to me Yesterday was the first anniversary of Michelle Trachtenberg's passing and it got me thinking about how it probably was the anniversary of t...

This post uses the 25th anniversary of BUFFY’s β€œThe Body” as an excuse to jump in the Wayback Machine to 2001 and talk about not realizing a problem in my own storytelling until I was harping on BUFFY for doing the exact same thing

Have always been curious about Sedaka's song "For Us To Decide" which became the Hiroko Moriguchi 2nd OP to Zeta Gundam. What year was it written? Was Sedaka planning to sing it himself? Why did he put possibly the greatest melody of his career on the shelf?

RIP Neil Sedaka, the man responsible for the opening and ending themes for Zeta Gundam.

In under the wire for #BlackHistoryMonth: My first new piece in over a year is a #longread on HARLEM DETECTIVE, a lost, short-lived live TV drama with a diverse cast broadcast in the NYC area in the early 1950s. It’s an obscure but significant milestone in African American representation.

There is a lot wrong with the world, and a lot of suffering. We can take solace that a man who brought a lot of joy to a lot of kids pulled through their struggle with cancer--and that their experimental treatment will now help more people in the future.

Good going, Big Bot.

Some Jim Jinkins obscurities, here's a 1983 book called "The Joy of Pigging Out" that he did illustrations for.

Despite how excellent the news may seem, do not get comfortable just yet

One key word to take this away from; "Halted," which means, the Age Verification junk is very much alive and there's a possibility they'll be trying this again

In addition to all of McDuffie's great work in and around comics, he's the one who came up with the idea of the Tommy Westphall Universe: that every show that shares continuity with St. Elsewhere in some way also takes place in Tommy's imagination.
