Another Sunday pancake (alt: waffle) family breakfast. I've been doing this for at least 21 years. Good morning!

I'm telling y'all right now that anyone who tried to bully me out of a regular check from the NYT would get their feelings hurt.
Wait, the same people who bullied Tressie off of this site have now set their sights on Jamelle Bouie?? As ever, they are so much closer to MAGA than they realize.

This AD&D tribute by Tim Hutchings - where he reproduced every single paragraph, table, and illustration in ink wash is an utterly absurd and compelling work of art... and it's even more gorgeous in person than as an internet fever dream. I love it unreservedly.

I can tell it's going to be a focused day at work when I can leave my headphones plugged in to my iPod instead of in my laptop listening for message pings.

I'm enjoying ORPHAN BLACK:ECHOES. My safest spoiler-free comment is that I appreciate their use of the original intro for the end credits.

Penguin Random House just bought Boom Studios? That's huge!

A weird little troll just complained that my comics post showed up in a politics feed. Screenshotted and blocked.

A successful Montreal ComicCon run! Autographs and new books from @jasonloo.bsky.social ! A Condorman and a Labyrinth single issue. Last Starfighter adaptation! The Marvel/Time from 1989! A magazine sized version of Dragonslayer (I own this story in 3 formats now)!

Heading off to Montreal ComicCon with the kids for something like the 12th year (it's 14 years old, and I know for sure that I took the kids for the 2nd edition, and we miiiiight have missed another one along the way because of birthdays/vacations). I love this tradition.

Heading to Montreal Comic Con tomorrow and THIS time I'll be organized with a LIST! And pictures! My nerdy holy grail is a copy of the UNDERWORLD BLOOD WARS movie adaptation because I designed the short-lived mobile CCG of the same name, and I want more related swag (I already own the PDF)

Sorting through the comic boxes in the basement alcove (where I keep the amontillado). Going to have to swap out a bankers box for another short box soon!

This is tangible art and artifact on a level that made me gasp and giggle: A painted version of the original Player's Handbook - every paragraph, table and cartoon! Why? Why not? It just is. "Palpable and mute/Like a globed fruit" thousandyearoldvampire.com/products/hom...

Shout TV requires a login and offers subscription packages now? There's a lot of Ultraman, Tokusatsu, and Gerry Anderson content... might be worthwhile!

I never thought I would have FOMO about the American Library Association convention, but learning that @koboldpress.com and @ethansacks.bsky.social have neighbouring booths has gone and done it! The show looks spectacular!

Watching GODZILLA MINUS ONE at the cottage. Keeping the whiskey and the tissues close at hand. I love this movie.

THE GIRL WITH ALL THE GIFTS might just be my favourite zombie movie. Heartrending and nervewracking, (and interesting to watch in the context of THE LAST OF US.)

Deleted 4500 emails with attachments in an effort to reclaim Google Drive space. Looked like work, but felt like fun!

It is incredibly disheartening to see the US Supreme Court's heel turn.

Real talk: I should have taken 2 weeks off in a row. I haven't quite hit the "feeling rested" stage.
