Hey, Ibuprofen! What are you smiling about?

I'm really hoping the rumors that Demián Rugna will direct the next ALIEN movie are true, because that would be something special.

Back in 1982, I saw Jett's music video for "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" on MTV, and it just about blew my 8-year-old mind. It was like witnessing a miracle.

It's our 18-year wedding anniversary today, which feels positively surreal with a three-month old baby in the house.

1. Be a good person. 2. Surround yourself with good people. If you follow these two rules, rule #3 will be a breeze. 3. Make sure there are no fireworks at your funeral.

I got Stephen King and Maurice Sendak's HANSEL AND GRETEL this week. I haven't cracked it open yet, but I did read an interview King did in the 80s where he talked about a version of the story he wanted to write. I'm hoping this book isn't it.

My latest acquired library copy of a classic illustrated book. Just floored by this note pasted to the inside cover. Soft heads only at this "college." The book? The Children of Odin: The Book of Northern Myths. 1962 ed., originally published 1920.

The story of fascism and authoritarianism always ends the same. The real question becomes, how long do you want the story to last?

A small reaction to any injustice gives the oppressors permission to go bigger next time.

One of the things I love about used books is the clues about where they've been or who they've touched, such as library stamps or pencilled notes. I'm reading a book in Poland from a library in Winter Park, FL, that I bought from a seller in Hungary. Like, how did you find your way to me, book?

I believe in my heart of hearts that the people will finally rise up when he starts blowing up people on canoes.

"I maintain that my novels, taken together, form an allegory for a nation that feels it's in a crunch and things are out of control." - Stephen King, from a 1980 Rolling Stone interview.

I have less than 10 books to go before I have every Stephen King book in hardcover. After that, the goal is to get one autographed copy (it doesn't matter which book). Now I'm wondering what I'm going to get obsessed about next...

My favorite part about being in the office is how my sneakers squeak whenever I walk around the building.

I think the whole Russian drones in Poland incident would have been easier to manage if my wife didn't wake up to a parade of Facebook posts that read RUSSIA INVASION!, WE ARE AT WAR! and RUSSIA HAS ENTERED POLAND! Social media is going to be the death of us all.

"We'll be sending you back in time to stop the robot." "I'm ready. I've been training for this. I won't let you or the future down." "Once you're back in 1984, you'll need to find some clothes quickly because you'll arrive naked." "I'm out."

It's a tough time to be an artist or creative, and it's especially tough if you're doing that on a freelance or independent basis. Sharing someone's posts, leaving a positive review, or recommending them to a friend are 3 easy ways you can help. And they're all free!!

Same energy.

It's crazy that it's cheaper to get a first edition Stephen King book from the 70s than it is to buy many academic books about King that were written in the last 10 years.

Showing my children our giant library: "See all these books, kids? One day, they'll all be your problem."

"If you're watching this announcement, that means I am dead..."

"Y’all getting any rain up your way?"

September 22, 1993. Belly and Radiohead at Janus Landing in St. Petersburg, FL. About 150 people in attendance. Radiohead opened. Belly delivered. Thom Yorke and Tanya Donelly ended the show singing "Untogether". Pure magic.

We got one of those coffee machines that makes 50 different kinds of coffees on Friday, and my teenage son has transformed into a barista over the course of the weekend.

Let’s be real here, a barrel full of crackers is just too many crackers.

"Why did you do this to me? For what reason? What is the charge? Eating chips? A succulent bag of chips?"

Post a non-religious photo you think of as holy

So what should Russia do about Finland?

Hats off to anyone that can stomach being in the same room with this child.

I didn't mean to come across as flippant. He could have been a prepper with thousands of sandwiches hidden away in a bunker. He could have had a submarine for all we know.

I'm obsessed with that White House video of ICE agents arresting the man who threw a sandwich at a US Border agent. There are dozens of them, armed to the teeth, as if they were expecting him to have hundreds of sandwiches.

Beware the people who are "just saying."

Brought the baby upstairs to my office. She clearly had a blast!

Do you love? 🧡 #booksky #stephenking

It's weird to imagine that it's been 16 years since STAR TREK (2009) came out and there's been two sequels. STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE came out in 1979. By 1995, they managed to make 7 movies. We should be at GENERATIONS with the new crew already.

"What happened to all the drinkable water, grandpa?" "We were all asking the AI how many Bs there were in blueberry, and it just got out of hand."

"What does 'hat on a hat' mean!?"

If you woke up in 1995 knowing what you know today, what would you do to make the future better?

Maybe the dumbest thing I've ever made?

It's crazy to me that these books are 40 years old. I can remember buying this exact issue (along with Secret Wars II #2) at Waldenbooks. I was so excited for these books!

This is one of my go-tos in the bedroom.

The sad thing about the weather services being defunded is that we'll never know when it's raining men.

Whenever I see organizations circling their wagons to defend a terrible person, I'm reminded of the simple fact that there are literally thousands of qualified people who can do the same thing that person can — and in most cases, even better — without being a liar, racist, or degenerate.

Whenever I get annoyed by Burroughs, I think about "Kill the Badger!" and how it rewrote how I saw the world when I was in my 20s. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wA_2...

Hello. I'm a homicide detective in a movie. And if you think I'm too old for this shit now, just wait until the sequel I'll be doing in 40 years.

Hello. I just got myself a cup of coffee in a police procedural. Even though I'm holding and moving the cup in a way that makes it look clearly empty, I can assure you that I'm drinking coffee from this cup.
