Bought this shirt for the gym. Two seconds after putting it on this morning, I realized it’s less a mildly amusing workout quip and more a description of my daily existence. It’s very soft.

The world's most sensitive luchador!

If you followed Who the F*#k is Frank?, C3- Pod is pretty much the same, but with a new producer and a slightly different format. It was just too hard to get everyone in the same studio at the same time. All regular episodes of the new pod are free on Patreon and we'd sure appreciate a follow.

When you can’t make it to NYCC, but your friends at @madcavestudios.com know you love The Phantom.

Zrek is over this bullshit.

Man, I missed this.

Pitchers and catchers report in 99 days.

We don’t get a lot of Halloween traffic. I wanted to make sure the kids that made the effort felt like it was worth it.

Look, Mom, we're famous—Comicon wrote about us this week! 😃 Huge thanks to the author @saintamish.bsky.social for spotlighting Zoop and our latest Kickstarter campaign. What a thrill! 👻 comicon.com/2025/10/29/z... #comics #artcrowdfunding #indiehorrorgame #horror #halloween

Stupid thing wouldn’t sit right, so I improvised.

The music teacher at school kept sending threatening messages about my son's medical absences on band days. He got mad when I told him to fuck straight off, so he escalated to the district. Tattling on the mean parent did not go the way he hoped.

It always amazes me how hard teachers will dig in against a medically complex child's 504 plan. They're literally flexing on a child for having a genetic condition that is beyond their control. These are grownups who chose to work with kids. What the actual fuck?

I just mentioned Cherenkov radiation in water in a Comicon article. There's my Army NBC (nuclear, biological, chemical) training finally paying off.

That time I made pickled frog balls.

Couldn’t figure out why the resolution on my phone sucked so much this morning until I realized I left my glasses in the other room.

Those stupid internet lists will say the 15 year anniversary is the ‘crystal’ anniversary. In this house, it’s the ‘autographed Posey ball, with 10,12,14 WS champs inscription’ anniversary. This lady gets me.

My bar looks like a crime scene as I try to figure out adhesives and working times for Zrek’s skin pants.

I need some advice from those of you who build more stuff than I do. Fanhome says to use a "flexible, quick drying adhesive" to put these pieces of ET skin together. What would you use?

One of the best things about my job is learning about other people's geeky fandoms. Pokémon missed me by maybe a year. I was already in the Army when it really took off, and way back then, all the folks in my barracks wanted to do was watch wrestling and play Goldeneye on N64.

The pod has a Patreon. All of the regular episodes are free and will stay free. We're working on building patron tiers. What kinds of extras would you like to see from these knuckleheads? Autos? Personalized messages? Experiences at the live shows? patreon.com/C3Pod702

I've been going to the gym at the crack of Christ for a couple months now. Not because it feels good or because I want to get my day started by getting the blood pumping or any of that nonsense. I hate working out. But if I must, I want to get that shit over and done so I can move on with my day.

Remember that ET game that was so awful that Nintendo gave up on it altogether and buried it in an AZ landfill? It’s on my new bar arcade. Can confirm it’s an absolute turd.

Last game of the MLB regular season. SF batted Adames first in the order because he was sitting at 29 home runs and they wanted to give him a shot at 30 on the season. 1st pitch of his 1st at-bat sent over the fence in the deepest part of the yard. I love this game.

Did you know HDMI cables only come in 6 inch or 27 foot lengths?

It’s about to go down.

Pokekon LV 2025 was ridiculous. Paneled with @micheleknotz.com, 'King Pokémon' Gary Haase, Pawn Stars Toy Expert Steve Johnston, and Chumlee. Everyone was delightful. Can't wait to do it again in May.

When every remaining game counts, and you made nice with the AV guy at the convention.

Bakersfield is wild. It rained for 7 minutes this morning. Everyone took that as a sign that it’s fireplace season. Neighborhood smells like a forest fire. It’s currently 92 degrees. Cheers.

Nerds talking nerd stuff on the Spotify.

The band is back together!

15 build stages in one session. This little weirdo's skin is all that remains.

I still have my 1st gen 80 gig ipod. Sucker still works, and is only half full, even though I have every single song I've ever known on it.

I’ve heard great things about this stage host.

My super awesome souvenir from the Pleasanton Scottish Games. Couldn’t find a dirk to save my life. This is almost as good.

Tariffs and imports have held up the next two build stages on this guy for FOUR MONTHS. Those two pieces finally left the warehouse, so I’ll have about 20 build stages to do on my little Asogian botanist in a week or so.

In which I get pissy about the treatment of Brienne of motherfucking Tarth in the Star Wars franchise: comicon.com/2025/08/29/r...

Started a new gym a couple weeks ago. Went to the old gym yesterday to cancel. It was shockingly easy. -Reason? -This gym sucks. -Word. Anyone else remember when it took a utility bill from out of state, a notarized affidavit, and a $1700 cancellation fee to leave a gym? Just me? Old. I know.

I just got called the 'Pokédex of Baseball,' and I think it may be the nicest compliment I've ever gotten from a co-worker.

I don’t know what your work day looks like today, but this is the next hour or so of mine. Yes, that is a teeny tiny glove for a half-sized Sith Lord.

I really wish there was one sunscreen on the market that didn’t smell like coconut. I’d like the option of not getting skin cancer while simultaneously not smelling like a $2 tiki drink.

Thank you to @saintamish.bsky.social for allowing @fanbasepress.bsky.social's RIPPLE EFFECTS to be part of his family's journey! I hope that #GraphicMedicine stories like this one will continue to be shared to raise awareness and representation for those with invisible illnesses & disabilities.

Seriously with the onions already. Who was the first guy who dug up an onion and was like "Hmmm. Smells like rotten ass, tastes like... rotten ass. Let's put it in EVERYTHING!!!"

Everything is Trying to Kill Us, vols. 1-7, Eric Burger. Research. For things.

Anyone know what band this is?

While the truck is missing most of the accommodations for CF camping that we were promised, we were able to get set up with electricity for my youngest child’s meds fridge and equipment by staying at Housekeeping Camp. Not exactly roughing it, but we did find some rocks and trees and squirrels.

This bugs me more than it should. The Red V in the back looks like a viper’s head. Cool, cool. Then the bottom of the V in the word is elongated and sharp to look like a fang. Other side, the R at the end is another fang, except a completely different shape. Also, the whole word is off center. HATE.

To be fair, Oildale doesn't consider itself part of Bakersfield.

It’s Thursday. You know what that means.

The exact moment I lost my Apple Watch. (It was recovered, only slightly worse for wear.)
