Spider-Man was my introduction to comicbooks before I could even read — I like all the Spider-Man movies. ‘Brand New Day’ is wonderful, and easily in the Top 3 for me, right behind ‘Across the Spider-Verse’ and ‘Spider-Man 2’. So much heart, so much action, and I even teared up at the end.

You ever stop listening to a band or musician because the music reminds you of someone you used to know and would rather not think about? 

Seeing 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' this weekend with my good friend Mike Fasolo, and missing our late friend Dan Digiacomo. We three saw 'Spider-Man' together opening weekend at the Palisades Center in West Nyack, NY 24 years ago. Here we are at Rockefeller Center, December 2001...

I will never forget those nazi salutes he did

YouTube listing my "Forgotten Favorites", but they're all albums I've listened to within the last month... 🤔

‘Dogman’ by King’s X.

post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't the wu-tang clan, lauryn hill, tlc, or alice in chains.

It is genuinely bizarre that we’ve become acclimatized to right wingers throwing a tantrum every time a black person (particularly a black woman) is cast in something, but are also supposed to pretend that this is not racism but related to some other substantive concern.

Y'all remember when clear cassettes felt like the future? My first was 'Tao' by Rick Springfield (yeah, I'm a dork, and I still dig the album). I still remember the way they smelled.

July is Disability Pride Month, the month the ADA was passed in 1990, days after my 20th bday. Less than 3 months later, I became disabled in a surfing accident. Pride? Yeah, I'm a badass and all, but tired. I guess I thought it'd be easier by now...less alone? Get busy giving, or get busy dying.

This is America. Please don't re-post videos or images. Talk about it, condemn it, yes, but we don't need to re-share videos of our black neighbors being brutalized or murdered. #BlackLivesMatter

Police murdered a Black man in the street in Madison WI today. Shot point blank in the head while on the ground, tased, and surrounded by four cops. It looks like an execution. Multiple videos circulating online. Things are about to get very bad here.

This comicbook, now in my small collection, hit newsstands July 21, 1970: 'The Amazing Spider-Man' 89. Fun fact: the month on the cover of comics (and magazines) back then wasn't the month it was released, but the month it was to be taken off the newsstand if unsold.

For me, finishing a story is what it feels like to have grown a row of carrots or laid bricks for a chimney. I made a thing that wasn't there before. If you use AI you haven't made anything that wasn't there before. And you probably voted for Trump.

Official case counts likely capture only a fraction of US cyclosporiasis infections, and the outbreak is likely to get worse before it gets better.

Fuck ICE.

Using generative A.I. to make your "art" is like ordering a meal at a restaurant and then calling yourself a chef, only the restaurant staff stole all the food prepared by other restaurant chefs in the neighborhood and piled it in front of you.

I'm having a tough time today, with the fact that 1986 was 40 years ago. Just a few of the albums from 1986 in my library...

Because what goes around comes around, if you see this, share a circle, a disk, something round.

IT IS REVEALED!

Singing along with my late Uncle Jim's 1974 album this past month has improved my vocals. I'm not saying I'm a good singer, but I'm a better singer than I was a month ago. 😃

This makes us so happy. It's part of the Port of Portland's retail residency program program. The airport partners with *local* businesses to create pop-up shops! www.thepopverse.com/comics-books...

A comic book store at an airport? Yes please, now I have one more reason to fly to PDX

Forget Hudson News, PDX is getting a comics pop-up shop with Books with Pictures.

Fuck the reflecting pool. This has not gotten nearly enough coverage or generated the proper outrage. People thrown in prison for 30-50 years for the "crime" ofmaking zines and belonging to a book club!! This is straight-up totalitarian atrocity. Political prisoners thrown in a gulag to rot.

The world is in shambles, thanks in large part to the modern GOP fascists and Trump. Time marches on too fast it seems, and I struggle through exhaustion to figure out the point of it all… if I’m good at anything, it’s finding a li'l solace in minutiae. ‘Spider-Noir’ is pretty great. Some finale!
