This was a fun book. @cliffchiang.bsky.social is, as always, magnificent
It’s a weird one. Beautiful though, Cliff Chiang art. I wasn’t at all familiar with Doctor 13 so can’t say if he was in character.
My personal theory is that people report more cryptids and UFOs at times of national stress.

Indeed. Brilliant
It is March already. 😱 It is unseasonably warm out. 😱 My first short story collection comes out April 21. 😱😱
Rabbit Test and Other Stories contains all my favorite experiments in scifi and fantasy. I'm very proud of it. :)

Hot baseball take: I think intentional walks are stupid and should be eliminated. Or you get, like, one per game. Pitch to Ohtani, you cowards! Pitch like (baseball) men!

Dusty Baker made his MLB debut as a 19-year-old in 1968, and played until he was 37 (1986), winning a WS in 1981 with LAD
He made his managerial debut as a 43-year-old with the Giants in 1993

#11 in the 40 movies I haven’t seen from the AFI 100!
Easily one of the best movies I’ve ever seen with the most perfect casting imaginable in Bette Davis.

There’s a leopard that gets involved, and then another leopard. Cars get stolen. There’s a big game hunter on a farm. I dunno man, this one is perfect.

I've watched at least 500 Pre-Code films by now, but I swear nothing has shocked me more than this scene of Loretta Young (who was cast as the good girl 99.99% of the time) smacking her (illegitimate) son for using her kimono to carry beer bottles in. From Born to be Bad (1934)
It just occurred to me--it is statistically probable that at least one person reading this has never seen Donald O'Connor stake his claim to GOAT status in SINGIN' IN THE RAIN. I must remedy that immediately:

Spent the weekend, NOT reading any news and not engaging social media.
I read, listened to music, watched movies, and played games. Overall enjoyable weekend.
Can report the world did NOT end but from the look of things everything is still FUCKED UP.
So much for wishful thinking
