So much for CBR promising never to use AI. I really miss my job, but I’m so glad that I was able to leave there with my personal ethics still intact.

My kid did a thing!! Fourteen years of getting up before the sunrise, countless miles driven, and a small country’s net worth spent on summer camps and showcases have culminated in this, and I couldn’t be happier!

One of my 14 year old’s friends gave out mix tapes as Christmas gifts, so now I need to find a cheap cassette player in 2025.

For real, though - eff these guys.

I do love cooking for the holidays.

@brianmbendis.bsky.social & Bagley (by way of Ferris Beuller's Day Off) tried reminding the world 20 years ago that dropping hefty tariffs on foreign partners leads to economic havoc and yet here we are about to find this out the hard way all over again.

For those going home to visit family this weekend: • Samsung calls it Auto Motion Plus • LG calls it TruMotion • Sony calls it Motionflow • Roku calls it Action Smoothing • Google TV calls it Motion Enhancement • Vizio calls it Smooth Motion Effect.

Decided to put together a nontraditional Thanksgiving menu this year, so I’m serving lemon meringue pie instead of pumpkin.

I don’t care what anyone says - this era of Thunderbolts was underrated. I’ve always thought the biggest misstep was not giving this run its own, new name.

I don’t see how this is a controversial take.

Emergency Questions 20. What is your most mundane celebrity encounter? I once saw Eve Myles browsing the CD racks in HMV. There is literally no more to that story.

Mike Grell was one of the titans of comics when I was in high school and college. His Green Arrow run shaped the character (and Black Canary) more than many modern fans realize. Happy to hear he’s on the mend.

Even though I genuinely like y current gig, I really miss covering comic book news on a daily basis. I think that’s partially fueling my current dive into my long boxes, a task that’s resulted in some incredible memories resurfacing.

Dang, there’s a lot of corgis on Bluesky!
