I very much understand

Me too! Also looking forward to Syuri/Sareee and KnockOut Bros. versus ToughStorn (sigh), but really, all the matches have some sort of value for me. Wondering if we get more hints for final Tana opponent… would love Nakamura or Naito, but would “accept” Okada.

Continually & continuously, “brilliant” people have shown they lack reading comprehension when it comes to fiction… not exclusively the comics of Alan Moore or whatever, but, like, someone’s take on Watchmen is always a pretty red flag. (Also, just once a billionaire should mention Gibbons’ art.)

Peter Thiel describing ‘Watchmen‘ as if it’s Bible fan fiction. How is it that these tech bros read sci-fi and always come away with the totally wrong message?

Am genuinely unsure who is who

We have so many things in common!

We do, but, like, I think it's very much a personal choice. I just like how it looks and feels; it's not really about me fending off the hordes of interested parties.

I want to buy Cosmic Odyssey in a language I can't read (ideally a different alphabet), just so I can focus solely on Mignola's art.

One Star Review of Waiting for Godot on Broadway I recently attended Waiting for Godot on Broadway and spent over $1,400 for two Row C seats (103 and 104). I'm a longtime admirer of Broadway productions and even hold a season pass for Shea's Performing Arts Theatre, so I came in with genuine enthusiasm and high expectations. Unfortunately, this show was unlike anything ! have ever experienced —and not in a good way. What I encountered was not the artistry, music, or emotional storytelling I usually associate with Broadway, but instead what felt like an endless cycle of nonsensical conversation between characters who seemed trapped in their own madness. I tried-truly tried-to find meaning, symbolism, or even a thread of emotional resonance. I stayed through the first half hoping the second would offer clarity. But by intermission, it was clear: this was a waste of both time and money. Keanu Reeves is an actor I respect greatly, but I cannot fathom why he would agree to participate in such a disjointed, inaccessible production. His talent was lost in a performance that defied reason rather than provoked insight. To anyone considering attending: unless you are drawn to highly abstract, nearly incomprehensible theater, I strongly caution you against this show. For the average, educated, thoughtful theatergoer, it is far more frustrating than fulfilling. In my opinion, this was the single most disappointing Broadway experience I've ever had - an unfortunate waste of money and, more importantly, of time.

TFW you paid $1400 to see Beckett’s most famous work without knowing anything about it

Yeah, same… except I was in university and listening to, rather than playing in, bands.

Not a Swampy guy myself, but I will extend to you my thoughts and prayers in this fraught time and hope for the best.

You’re ALSO hoping they announce a new edition of that Brave Old World miniseries by William Messner Loebs and Guy Davis that I always keep forgetting I am desperate to read?!

This short clip quickly summarizes why I think so much non-Kirby, non-Simonson, non-Ukazu New Gods falls absolutely flat for me.

(Also: read her Barda and her Flip right now; both so good.)
