Although I’m enjoying the show quite a bit, my inner 12 year old always snort laughs when I suggest watching “Joe Nesbø’s Detective Hole” to the missus.

And Tiny Tim, who did not die, showed those men of will what will really was.
And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, swore by his life and his love of it never to live for the sake of another man, nor ask another to live for his.
I named my fists "Noel" and "Liam" because once they're done you'll be broken up for fifteen years.
I named my fists "Dunning" and "Kruger" because I haven't trained in any sort of martial art but am confident I would do pretty well.
Ere this night doth wane, you will drink the black sperm of my vengeance, Charlie Brown.
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain, Charlie Brown.

UDCCTAGWCTIALREAWST (#4 in an ongoing series): Amethyst. Amy Winston is a normal teenage girl who has just put away childish things. But then she finds out that she's really a pretty pink princess from a magical land with unicorns. Can she overcome her cringe in time to embrace her destiny?
And yes, this feed is going to mostly talk about weird DC Comics characters for a while...
UDCCTAGWCTIALREAWST (#3 in an Ongoing Series): G'Nort Rather than giving a title to another one of 19 or so human American Green Lanterns, why not toss a bone to this mutt? He's a cross between Groo the Wanderer and a GL. Plus he's an adorable doggie. He practically howls "take my money!"
Unused DC Characters that a Gifted Writer Could Turn into a Long-Running, Eisner-Award Winning Solo Title (#2in an Ongoing Series): Prez Rickard Picture the West Wing, but set squarely in the DCU, where trade negotiations with Bialya often have to take a backseat to Khundian invasions.
Unused DC Characters that a Gifted Writer Could Turn into a Long-Running, Eisner-Award Winning Solo Title (#1 in an Ongoing Series): Extraño. A flamboyantly gay space witch? How is this guy *not* DC's version of the Doctor?
Hi there, Bluesky folks. Anyone wanna talk about DC comics, Doctor Who, or Star Trek?
