If not for @xplainthexmen.bsky.social, I may have never started running as consistently. So they are directly to blame for all the marathons I’ve run. Thanks for everything, Jay and Miles.
Reread the first volume of Gerard Way & Nick Derington’s Doom Patrol today. What a triumph.

I was babysitting niece and nephew a couple years ago and Tubi autoplayed the first TMNT movie after something else. I would've switched it (they were little) but I was cleaning up and didn't notice until the boy froze, pointed bug-eyed: "IS THAT A NINJA TURTLE!?" "...yes." "IT'S REAL! ...HOW??"

The most powerful thing I have done in my life is hold myself accountable. That’s not always been something the people I have hurt have allowed me to do but I understand that choice even if it took me a while to get there.
It’s CRAZY how good Iron Man looks compared to most Marvel movies.
Mueller’s FBI persecuted Muslims nationwide. He was responsible for one of the most egregious, systemic violations of civil rights in the history of the FBI, which is saying a whole lot. This was Mueller’s FBI:
FBI Teaches Agents: 'Mainstream' Muslims Are 'Violent, Radical'
The FBI is teaching its agents that ordinary American Muslims are likely to be terrorist sympathizers; that the Prophet Mohammed was a “cult leader”; and that Islamic charity is no more than a “fundin...

Bob was more than a colleague to me. He was a friend. I hope that Bob Mueller‘s family is comforted on this sad day by the pride that those of us who served with him all feel. We were all fortunate to work with this great American. Bob made the nation better. Rest in peace my dear friend.
Fran and Balthier are a T4T couple and you can’t tell me otherwise.
Ya know, the digital deaging in the last stand isn’t that bad.

A cool thing is that my Spawn podcast hit 100 episodes! If you want to talk about Soawn let me know.
X-Men comics fans. Where we at on X-Men ‘97? Like, it’s fine, right? I know it made Cyclops cool. But I can’t forgive that Inferno adaptation.
One way in which I have enriched my partner’s life is that she is acutely aware of Glob Herman now and she wasn’t before. So there’s that.
"SPACE GHOST VOL. 2 #7 continues the masterclass in modernizing a classic property... it’s dark, it’s risky, and it’s easily one of the most exciting books on the stands right now." Thanks to @kpbcomics.bsky.social for this amazing review — buy your copy TOMORROW! kpbcomics.com/space-ghost-...

Ducky from Pretty in Pink could probably win at least one Lipsync for your Life.
I don’t think X-Men ‘97 is perfect but much like the show it’s continuing, it’s a fun distillation of what’s great about the X-Men.
You really don’t need to make this a bigger deal than it actually is. “Traitor” is a new four-page comic written by me with art by @comicnerdsam.bsky.social. Here it is:
To recap: Trump isn't bad b/c he has felony convictions RFK Jr. isn't bad b/c he struggled with addiction They are bad b/c they don't care about protecting the humanity of other people I can introduce you to lots of people with felonies or addiction who work every day to HELP PEOPLE
I started actually writing again today out of spite. Because I’m listening to a recent well-regarded piece of work that is so egregiously bad that it makes me truly believe that the internet was a mistake.
Breaking: the Trump admin has “temporarily” paused enforcement of a Biden-era silica rule that was aimed at combating the rising black lung crisis in Appalachia. Coal miners and their advocates have been fighting for *decades* to lower deadly silica dust exposure levels. www.msha.gov/notice-stake...

I found my pile of correspondences with #AlexToth - I’m going to film the art (maybe 15-20 piece?) and read the letters in a series of videos about my back and forth with Alex, how kind he was to me even in his gruff critiques and what these letters meant to me. I’ll post here and on YouTube #comics
