So, in retrospect, I could see that hadn’t gone so well.

NAMJA Gyoza Stadium | Food & Shops | NAMJATOWN This is the page for NAMJA Gyoza Stadium in NAMJATOWN Town. For all you gyoza lovers, you can enjoy gyoza from selected famous restaurants. For more information about NAMJA Gyoza Stadium, please see t...

Namjatown in Ikebukuro has a gyoza stadium where the various vendors yell at you about why their gyoza is best, it's chaotic & amazing. There's also a vending machine so you can take home frozen gyoza for later: bandainamco-am.co.jp/en/tp/namja/...

Now that you've said it, I'm amazed that there's not a reality show focused on remodeling murder houses.

Stamps featuring Kate Beaton, Jimmy Beaulieu, Guy Delisle, Julie Doucet, Bryan Lee O’Malley and Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas

Canada is releasing a set of stamps celebrating the nation's graphic novelists.

These stamps feature Kate Beaton, Jimmy Beaulieu, Guy Delisle, Julie Doucet, Bryan Lee O’Malley and Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas, alongside some of their famous works.

Isaac Chotiner: "I’m not making any allegation. I’m making a simple point about how an average reader—myself included—might respond after reading this ridiculous piece" Ben Smith: "Also — and I'll stop now! — the question he's trying to get at of how you cover monarchies with endless time horizons as a journalist (this is a thing people from most major publications do) is genuinely interesting." Chotiner, with the kill shot: "Come on Ben. I refuse to pretend that both of us are dumber than we are."

If Isaac Chotiner ever said this to me, I would move to the woods.

This film is such a great combo of sharp script and skilled actors!

"... but the biggest challenge our design team will face is the 8-foot pit of concrete rubble in the back yard, left behind after the police disinterred his wife's body. Chad hopes to repurpose this space for an in-ground hit tub, but zoning might render his concept dead on arrival."

A smiling Jim Zub sits patiently at a restaurant table as I take him photo.

But wait, what is that hanging on the wall behind him? A shadowy figure with a curled moustache and a black hat?

Hauntingly upsetting photo of a human face mask staring blankly from where it is hung on a wall as if it is wearing a black coat and hat.

Working on my New Year's Resolution to clean up my photo archives and came across this fantastic set of images of @jimzub.bsky.social from a Paris dinner in 2019.

I say "accidentally insightful" because Rogan says it like this is a real, possible, desirable outcome and not a poorly considered fantasy.

Near the end, Rogan says something accidentally insightful: "It keeps getting better. Like, constantly. It's like this neverending exponential improvement."

The dream of perpetual growth with minimal ongoing effort is the holy grail of capitalism. No wonder investors are so eager to believe.

No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream, Charlie Brown.

He said "Amen" straight into the drop

Lmao Pope Leo threw a rave for an archbishop's 75th birthday this is kind of incredible

Thank you for the laugh & the earworm.

Bards: laying waste to DM plans since 1976.

Chip Zdarsky once described ketchup to me as "tomato frosting," thereby ruining a perfectly good condiment for me forever.

(I mean, I still put it on stuff, but I feel slightly bad about it)

An exciting development for the Montreal culinary & craft brewery scenes!

Aaand Aer Lingus has conveniently put a stranger in the middle seat between my husband and I, quality service as expected!

At Heathrow. Somehow managed to get my phone locked in a bathroom stall, requiring maintenance to come assist. From her reaction, I get the impression that this isn't an uncommon occurrence.

Reading this article about AI wrecking hobbies and suddenly realize they're describing the cover of Stacy's upcoming book (which has no AI, by the way).

A smiling Jim Zub on a train, with a sun-drenched train station visible out the window beside him. He is *very* handsome.

A view of a sunny Yorkshire landscape with rolling fields of green, autumn trees and some old stone farm buildings dotted about, taken from the window of a train moving away from this bucolic setting.

Also typically British, Harrogate was rather damp throughout our stay, only to burst into glorious sunshine upon our departure.

Departing Harrogate (which, it turns out, rhymes with "surrogate") and there's a chimney sweeper in the hotel lobby, getting the fireplace ready for winter. The perfect note on which to wrap a charmingly British visit!

There's also the possibility that one (or more) of his victims killed themselves at his home, and he opted to conceal their death(s) rather than deal with the ensuing investigation. Either option is dreadful beyond measure.

Our time at the castle is done, but the adventure continues.

Off to Harrogate for the THOUGHT BUBBLE comic festival this weekend!

I've written a short story every month for about 10 years, and it made me very good at the repetitive form of beginning/middle/end. Endings are easy for me because the key to the ending is always in the beginning. Here's easy hack from a workshop talk I gave awhile back:

This is a useful thought for world-building (as well as being an interesting fact in general).

No idea. The entire room is weirdly dark EXCEPT for the bathtub area, I can only assume it's a "posh British" thing.

I'm quoted in here along with some friends. D&D is for everyone, except bigots.

The boys are going fishing in the Negative Zone, leaving Sue and Alicia home alone.

and who is at the door but Felicia Hardy, Sue Storm's least-favourite person! And she's covered in blood WHOOPS

Felicia's in jail and flirting with Sue, trying to get her to help her. She says she's innocent!

And in a flashback, we see Felicia's version of events. HOW IS SHE GONNA GET OUT OF THIS ONE?? You'll just have to read the issue to find out!

Out tomorrow: FANTASTIC FOUR #5, guest starring The Black Cat AND Sue Storm (who hates her guts) and a HEIST. :0

I texted @jedmackay.bsky.social a ton to make sure I was writing Felicia well, which is how I lost texting privileges with Jed. But NO REGRETS

A panel from Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' WATCHMEN, where a circulatory system (Dr. Manhattan) walks through the kitchen. This happens on November 10.

happy circulatory system walking through the kitchen day
