Thank you, Nat!!
Any friends out there have access to this New York Times article that could send me a PDF? You’d be helping contribute to the conclusion of my upcoming Batman book!
So this new “Privacy Display” feature on Samsung’s Galaxy S26 is funny to me because not too many years ago, all the conversation about displays on phones and tablets was about viewing angles and brightness. Now the market is shifting to the opposite.
And Howard Jones was one of my grad school professors. An amazing person and scholar. Never could have imagined being in a list alongside him.
A real life honor to be on a top-notch reading list. Thank you! 🙏
What is it like living with cartoon characters in your head? Let me tell you… greatscott.substack.com/p/life-with-...
Thanks man! I thought that was you back there. Thanks for coming!
I’m headed out for the AHA in NYC tomorrow evening. Panel on comics (talking Batman and politics!!) on Saturday morning. Who else is going to be there??
@blakescottball.bsky.social 's Charlie Brown's America is so good for this; accessibly written and deals with subject material that most N. American's would be familiar with using the context of well known characters

Rain or shine, you knew the Peanuts crew would be up for a parade! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!
Folks can say whatever they want, no SNL political impersonation will ever be more perfect than Larry David as Bernie Sanders 😂
When unpacking from a move, you find loads of things you’d forgotten about. The box here is *years* worth of notes and research (doesn’t include all the digital work I did) that went into making CHARLIE BROWN’S AMERICA. Wild looking at it all in one spot!
Shit i forgot to link @blakescottball.bsky.social’s book. I already have it. You should too.

If you haven’t checked it out, The Penguin on HBO was excellent. It will be a landmark in this new era of streaming TV and Hollywood film interconnectivity. The acting is phenomenal and the writing is top tier.
Thank you, Robbie 🙏
Thank you to all the new followers. I’m following back and looking forward to getting to know folks!
Okay, folks, I’m here. I’m the author of CHARLIE BROWN’S AMERICA with Oxford and I’m currently writing a new cultural biography of BATMAN. www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0190...
Christmas came early! Can’t wait to dive in!!
Someone someday is going to get ahold of my book collection and wonder why in the world there are all these notes about Batman in the margins of this Edgar Allan Poe biography. 😂
The Outlook app is superior to Gmail.
There, I said it.
Honored to be featured by Oxford University Press over on that other app. I get to work with some of the very best folks with OUP. So thankful for their partnership!
Finally got the chance to see CHARLIE BROWN’S AMERICA in a real life book exhibit!!! As a grad student, I used to walk around those exhibits daydreaming about some distance day when my work might be on the table. Now it’s got front row placement at the @OxUniPress table!
I was interviewed for a really insightful piece in @TheAtlantic on Snoopy’s unique connection to Gen Z. Check it out!

I cannot explain it, but I love the latest @reeses commercial with the dancing skeletons. youtu.be/qafzHkc2rjs?...
Robert Caro had to cut 350,000 words from his finished manuscript for THE POWERBROKER, a book that is over 1,100 pages long 👀
So nice to see so many of the old friends from #twitterstorians over here. I missed you folks!
