Before I start screaming from the rooftops about my paperback release, something really cool showed up in the mail. The deluxe editions of @jzacharypike.bsky.social's Dark Profit trilogy. I had the honor of designing the interiors for these, so seeing them in person is awesome! Thanks so much Zack!

Today I learned that the hit single β€œLight Up The World” by the cast of Glee did not contain the lyrics β€œYou gotta give up the pumpkin pie.”

Makes much more sense now.

In my head canon, Batroc has a crush on Silk. He follows her around like Pepe LePew. #marvelsnap

Got to see @pattonoswalt.bsky.social at the Portsmouth Music Hall tobight. Amazing show, and I got to see the reunion of Shy Teacher and Drunk Principal out in the lobby.

Sigh. I know.

In the grand scheme of all the ways that Meta is helping to fuck over this planet, this is a small one. But it is yet another tiny data point that makes me feel better about packing away from using Meta products.

And if there’s ever a class action suit, I’ll be there for it.

I’m watching #elemental again and it’s honest to god one of my top 10 movies. Top 3 Pixar movies. Just fantastic.

Not enough people watched it. You should if you haven’t.

I feel like 90% of headlines for the next six months can be effectively replaced with β€œTotal Sack of Shit is Still A Total Sack of Shit.”

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate, and especially to those CEOs who are getting warned by the ghost of Brian Thompson about the chains of hell and three more visiting spirits right about now.

@cwgabriel.bsky.social did you see the Shadow Labyrinth Pac-Man relaunch? Seems like a… bold choice.

Like maybe it will be amazing. But I’m getting 90s Super Mario Bros movie vibes.

Watching Is It Cake? Holiday on Netflix. After hearing a bio for guest judge @tiffanyhaddish.bsky.social I wondered if there’s anything she can’t do.

Turns out, yes, there is. She can’t show mercy to bakers. The woman has a freakin’ cake radar, and she dismantles those baking geniuses one by one.

Oklahoma News report about the state turning down federal money for hungry kids.

If your version of Christianity wants to put Trump Bibles in schools but take free lunch out of them, you are worshipping something other than Jesus.

This is what it looks like to take the Lord’s name in vain.
