A real piece of work in progress. Comics and music and wrestling and soccer and nature and, look, probably family stuff. Almost Toronto. (he, him)

I read it when it came out, absolutely loved it, put it back on my shelf, and have been too terrified to ever read it again, lest I no longer love it.

But now I *have* to read it again before you share your thoughts on it and sway my line of thinking, damn you.

I’ve been a vegetarian for more than a decade, and even I would eat this delicious rock.

Bucks were also AAA and NJPW champs. Kayfabe being what it is, we will never know whether the Bucks in the WWE is an inevitability or an impossibility… until it happens or never happens.

Yeah, I just meant TNA and AAA are WWE now (the former only for practical purposes, I realize) and ROH is now AEW. I’m thinking there were a few guys big in Japan and the US through 80s and 90s, but Mexico wouldn’t have usually been part of that equation

Oh, neat! Although WWE owns AAA now (right?), so I think Andrade’s accomplishment is singular. Still, nice.

Don't leave it all unsaid
Somewhere in the wasteland of your head, oh
Head, oh, head, oh, head, oh
And make no mistake, my friend
Your pointless life will end

But before you go, can you look at the truth?
You have a lovely singing voice a lovely singing voice
And all of those who sing on key
They stole the notion from you and me

Morrissey's a piece of work, but anyone who thinks that AI is saving people from the tyranny of having to be naturally talented and/or technically skilled before they can make art should be forced to listen to "Sing Your Life" on repeat for two days straight.

Bare minimum for holding a conversation: Homer, Hammett, Jackson, the names of bugs & turtles, β€˜90s DC Comics, cryptozoology, Canadian alt-rock, vegetarian options, American wrestling (but only distant past), Japanese wrestling (but only immediate present), soccer, and Polar Bear Cafe.

Jobs minister orders Air Canada flight attendants back to work Federal Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu has ordered binding arbitration in the Air Canada flight attendant strike.

Air Canada was waiting for this and it was given to them in a matter of hours. Canadians of all political stripes are behind the flight attendants. Disappointing. www.ctvnews.ca/business/art...

I lead hikes in Rouge National Urban Park; it’s fun. If you’re in or around Toronto, you should come to Markham tomorrow. We’re doing an 8k and I’ll, like, talk about animals. parks.canada.ca/pn-np/on/rou...

People posting about how they’ve never seen em dashes used before the rise of ChatGPT are really great at telling folks they’ve never read a book before.

"Goodwill Ambassador" is a pretty good short story and highlighter to an unspoken underlying strength I've felt the effect of but never consciously highlighted while reading. Paul Chadwick just has a great feel for immersive storytelling. I'll go into further detail.🧡

I read it, enjoyed it, cursed you for raising my curiosity about that MM book.
Is it self-contained? Like, do I need to know about what Absolute Batman is up to or endure a crossover with the rest of the Absolute DC Universe or whatever?

The Eisners and the Ignatzes always make me feel out of touch with comics but in excitingly different ways.

Lots of strong nominees in the latter. Haven’t read everything & ranking art is weird, but I loved Medem’s Land of Mirrors & I’m always in favour of handing B Mure as many awards as possible.
