Amazon Music going from Wazzu’s fight song, post-win, to “Boomer Sooner” is a vibe. Heisman for all!

A good day for books! Shipped this 208-page bad boy on the Tigers from @freep.com off to the publisher today, right on time, which means it’s time to dig into the latest from @sheaserrano.bsky.social !

Humble Comic Bundle: Roll for Initiative with Kieron Gillen by Image Comics Dive into one of comics’ most creative minds with our Kieron Gillen bundle, featuring The Wicked + The Divine, and more! Pay what you want and support BINC!

This went live last night - a big PDF bundle of the books I've written at Image. Includes The Wicked + the Divine, DIE, Phonogram, Ludocrats, the first Power Fantasy, We called them giants, etc. Basically, this is the stuff I got into comics to do, and a great chance to grab it.

And then a flash-forward to Ozymandias, from Shelley. Look on my 2-0 lead, Ye Mighty, and despair.

And then it’s more Coleridge with Kubla Khan, which yes, the former Safeco Field is, indeed, a stately pleasure-dome decreed. The caves of ice, coming soon.

First, Coleridge and the Rime of the Ancient Mariner, which I guess is Suarez (or Edgar with a line drive) killing an albatross and stopping a wedding party to chat about it. It goes badly from there, kind of like a George Kirby start.

My apologies to @megaholt.medsky.social , as my mini-Mariners fandom crash — I called losing all 3 ALCS home games and I am not dealing well with being 2/3 right now— led to a regression into my English lit major … all of which seem to apply to the M’s:

This! If I hadn’t gone for a basic ass physical in 2023, I wouldn’t have found out that my heart was failing.

If @theford.bsky.social wasn’t married to me, he would be dead from either sepsis, diabetes, a stroke, or cancer—all before 45 years old.

7 pm they’re claiming now.

Convinced this rain is the Baseball Gods’ last-ditch effort to stop me from ever seeing a Mariners playoff game in person.

Dillon Dingler celebrates his home run against Cleveland on Oct. 2

Well, that was a heckuva wild-card series in Cleveland. Excited to get a game or two in Detroit in the ALDS for the whole @freep.com crew to cover.

Screenshot reading Upon exiting, she was asked to rate her ride out of five lightning bolts, and the app suggested she leave a tip: $1, $2, or other. Five lightning bolts, Zara selected. Was the tip for the robot or the safety driver? As robots don’t need money, and the driver is a Tesla engineer likely making somewhere between $200,000 and $315,000 per year, she skipped the tip.

Lol Tesla's fake robotaxi is asking riders to tip. Comical shit. sfstandard.com/2025/09/15/t...

Guess they figured it was inevitable.

“Do not climb on Miles Morales” and “Do not climb on Spider-Gwen” signs … and nothing for Peter Porker, Spider-Ham, imply that it is absolutely OK to climb on him?

Jake Burger vs. Bryan King. Scorebug reads “Burger King”

Well it finally happened

I’m pretty sure he’s had to be talked out of wearing a full uniform to throw out the first pitch at a ballgame at least once, considering he brings his own glove.

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS 20-4 IN SUNDAY 1PM ET ROAD GAMES SINCE 2018 BEST RECORD IN NFL

interesting if very specific statistic

With how many late afternoon/night games the Lions are playing this year, having a 1 p.m. start against the Bears felt almost like a 9 a.m. game for the Monday edition of @freep.com, with great coverage from @davebirkett.bsky.social and so many others.

Judged solely on vibes, this TD should either count double, or count for zero points, and I’m really not sure which.

As a Coug of a certain age, I thought I had a cap on the wellspring of my hatred for the Los Angeles schools.
UCLA is bringing me joy I didn’t know existed.
Explaining to my MSU-alum wife @megaholt.medsky.social — Coug-splaining?— the saga of how UCLA got here … with a full Big Ten sked ahead …

The PAC-12 tried to keep this contained in a nice 1130 pm start in Pullman, but, noooo, the Big Ten decided to spread UCLA-25 all over the damn country.

I dunno, the process that hired him in 2024 doesn’t seem like one that makes good decisions in 2025.
