I have this problem where SOMETIMES Novocaine doesn’t work on me. Great day.

I was headbutted approximately 19 times last night by my toddler’s suffocating attempts to snuggle me to death.
I watch videos like this for tips and strategy on my (maybe?) final playthrough. This is my first time as a spellsword. It’s fun. Just a totally different thought process than a Bonk Boi. This player is otherworldly now that I know a bit more about spell stacking. youtu.be/PiMMyjnWilI?...

On my (checks logs) 8th playthrough of Elden Ring and I think I need to start a new game. First time as a spellsword, so it’s challenging at least. But I’m in the endgame of the DLC again and I’m at the Fire Giant in the regular game.
Kelly Clarkson arguing online that she should be allowed to buy a multimillion dollar toy from a shop owned by children’s book creator, who is arguing that the toy isn’t for sale, with both doubling down to the point that we are forced to know about this is kind of a perfect encapsulation of 2026.
Having a shit day dealing with social media and comics. It’s been a bleak week. But I did get a comment from an editor asking to see more of the new comic.
THE SHAPE OF MY SON Chapter 1 Pages 5-8. It's been a bad day, friend. #comics #webcomics #indiecomics
Finally read World Within The World by Julia Gfrorer and it was wonderfully unsettling.
Been working a lot into the night. So I need to chill a bit but can’t afford to watch a movie. So I’ve been watching spooky TV. I watched MIDNIGHT MASS finally. Now I’m watching CARRIE. Might switch over to BELOW.
One thing I appreciated about LANTERNS is they actually had a lot of the Nebraska details right.
This is a long while for the score to be wrong on the Bears game.
Whelp. One of the more pathetic postseasons I’ve seen in awhile. What a fucking embarrassment.
Just watched PAC last night. Had one of the best matches of the night. Absolutely heartbreaking to hear he’s passed.
Texting with my dad that the Cubs bullpen seems to have turned a corner and then they immediately gave up 6 runs.
Last week of regular season baseball makes me long for the beginning of the season, but also looking forward to never seeing a Kalshi/Polymarket/Shaq commercial for the rest of 2026.
It’s been 5 weeks since I did *something* to my foot. I can’t drive. I’m just stuck at home and it feels like the pandemic all over again. Finally getting an MRI on Friday.
Other things that made me yell “oh shit” today: a red tail hawk just biffed into my storm door two feet away from me, quickly recovered, and chased the bird who was chasing him like it was Top Gun: Maverick and he planned that maneuver even though it was below the hard deck.
I had my priorities wrong today in the annual Autumn debate of “which team will hurt me less: Cubs or Bears?”
Me looking for the clip of Brady swearing on air and then discovering why.

I have watched countless hours of monster truck content now with a toddler, and I will never not enjoy the one adult in every video who absolutely loses his mind with a conniption of swearing in front of 100 families. “OH SHIT! FUCK YEAHHH WOOOOOOO!”
On the board for lunch: finishing a panel featuring a small town bar for Thursday’s THE SHAPE OF MY SON drop. (cc @keithpille.bsky.social)
Skipping raging at the Cubs for AEW, and hey who turns my frown upside down? The Beast Mortos!
