Pretty early on in the new baseball season but I love the ABS Challenge System. It has not felt disruptive and makes for a better game on the field in the end.

We are hanging out in the @cataclysmarcade.bsky.social Discord channel today and I asked folks to tell me about the games and comic shops that have had a profound effect on their lives. Discord.gg/cataclysmarcade if you want to join the discussion or you can just share it here.

It pisses me off so much when I see those ChatGPT ads where someone gets advice for sticking to a running routine or opening a restaurant — all that information is stolen from folks who have done actual research studies, run trials, written blogs, published essays & books. Fucking thievery.

One of the highlights of the past year has been becoming friends with @cardboard-crack.bsky.social Eidolon of the Great Revel — Aguardiente, Campari, fresh lemon juice, thyme-grape simple syrup and a splash of preserved lemon brine over muddled baby grapes. Lovely addition to the #dogsearmenu

My official name for this movie is Slevin Monkeys To Do In Denver While You’re Dead in a Duffel Bag. Do with that what you will.

I would love to see us mtg creators make a concerted effort to spend more time in our local game stores. I think it'd make us better at what we do.

All the Republicans who say hurricanes are god's judgement or whatever are awfully quiet about the fact that like literally everywhere in the country is experiencing clear skies and decent weather for ridiculously large protests everywhere 🫡

50 years ago today, Schoolhouse Rock’s “I’m Just a Bill” came out. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZ8p...

“I wonder if Paul Skenes has ever faced the same batter twice in the same inning in his career.” — Matt Vasgersian Close but not today. Pirates pulled him before Lindor could come up for his second at bat. Baseball is back baby! #LFGM

Every now and then I catch a couple of minutes of some “reality” dating show and realize that John Carpenter should be revisiting one of his classic with a modern reboot.

For fuck’s sake give Harrison Ford a goddamned Emmy.

Happy Opening Day to all who celebrate!

It has been great seeing the influx of new faces into our Discord channel. We made a LOT of progress towards getting to 500 members (to unlock a free physical booster pack for everyone). I am going to be live chatting at discord.gg/cataclysmarcade at 3pm ET if you want to say hello!

Thanks so much for all the birthday messages. They filled me with love and gratitude — and cupcakes.

Starting to watch new season of Daredevil and there is just one nagging thing that affects my suspension of disbelief. I can’t with the BB Report. How is the video news feed of a teenage girl not shot vertically on a phone?

Days of Future Past — There couldn’t be any other drink on the #dogsearmenu for my birthday this year. Paranubes rum, Lychee Soho, Campari, Meyer lemon juice, and hibiscus-pasilla chile syrup.

Hey folks! @klugalters.bsky.social made me cry today!! The quest to find this comic as a kid completely altered the course of my life.

Happy birthday to me! Be one of the first 500 members of our community and we will send you a free, fully playable booster pack of my new game, Cataclysm Arcade TCG for my birthday. Discord.gg/cataclysmarcade

Holy shit this looks absolutely insane!!!! youtu.be/xLmf1KUd0UA?...

EVERYONE AT THE FARMER’S MARKET VERY RECENTLY LEARNED ABOUT MAGIC THE GATHERING FOR SQUIRREL-THEMED REASONS AND DEFINITELY NOT BECAUSE I SCREECHED LOUDLY ENOUGH TO SUMMON EVERY DOG IN A 3-MILE RADIUS WHEN I GOT THIS BACK FROM @artofandregarcia.com

I must own this book.

Lots of cool new art released since GAMA (and more I can't spoil yet but it is so good!). aiptcomics.com/2026/03/23/e...

Giving away a free booster pack of our new game @cataclysmarcade.bsky.social to the first 500 people who sign up at discord.gg/cataclysmarcade A birthday present from me to you!

This is what I see on the rare occasions I happen to catch Bill O’Reilly hawking snake oil in commercials. They forgot to put the They Live filter on the product label.

any comic is improved by a cutaway illustration of a secret base/headquarters/ batcave

So fucking sad to learn that Sam Kieth died. I was so lucky to have his artwork grace all three covers of The Craptacular B-Sides. He was a singular talent in a vast sea of artists. Gone way too soon. Condolences to his friends, family and all his fellow-fans.

Been craving a classic diner Monte Christo and made one for dinner tonight with brioche, marscapone custard, Black Forest ham and Emmental cheese and a fig, thyme, miso, maple and butter syrup; with a strawberry, orange and mint salad. Tasted like 2am on a Friday in Brooklyn circa 1987.

Incredibly funny that the president of the United States can do this and retain command of the American Armed Forces, but I said it about a literal Nazi and got fired from a job writing superhero comics.

Somebody explain to me how Padma’s Culinary Cup is not just Top Chef albeit with mono-Michelin starred contestants? First episode felt different but the next two are just completely beat for beat templated to Top Chef.

I’m not sure I’ve ever achieved anything so simultaneously impressive and hollow at the same time. Time to treat yourself with a nap.

“Are you sure you want to delete this app? “Meg_Ryan_Yes.gif”

Spent the last 12 hours writing card art briefs for our game and while I love getting lost in creative work like that… I am not sure I remembered to eat.

A big takeaway this year has to be that Sinners and One Battle After Another were big, artist driven, swings bankrolled by WB whose future is ultimately unclear. I like living in a world where people like PTA and Ryan Coogler get to make the films they want to make with those resources.

This tastes like a terrifying clown stepped out of the 80s with a pitcher of shudderingly cold 4C Iced Tea and is going to be a staple on the #dogsearmenu

We are planning to get our tenth and final Best Picture nominee in under the wire tonight when we watch TRAIN DREAMS (which I have heard almost nothing about other than that it was nominated). Lots of great films this year beyond the two frontrunners also worth watching.

If you are GenX you definitely had a local movie theater that went through the metamorphosis from $1 Second Run > Porn > Pentecostal Church.

Heeeeeeeeyyyy, guess who wants to regulate This Fucking Guy™️ into oblivion, maybe tell your friends in California’s 72nd district to get involved in my race www.kluweoc.com

Deserted Cities of the Heart — an Al Pastor -inspired cocktail for the #dogsearmenu

We have seen NBA stars sit with ridiculous games/leads because it was gauche to hunt points. Now that the Miami Heat have bricked a free throw off that Overton window who is the most likely NBA player to bag 90 this year?

Join our discord this week for a chance to win a booster pack! Next drawing and giveaway is this Friday 3/13! discord.gg/cataclysmarc... @bdm.bsky.social

So this just works...there amazing... Garlic/parm flavored!

Have been croutoning leftover pasta with a little olive oil and Parmesan cheese for salads and I feel very smart about both my verbing and my fooding.

The NERD INFERNO Omnibus collects all the material from the out of print Milk & Cheese, Dork and Eltingville Club HC editions. 648 dense pgs full of marks on paper. Available April 28th from @darkhorse.com (If all goes to plan, I'll be doing an NYC signing on FCBD May 2nd, possibly another May 3rd).

@bdm.bsky.social So, I stopped playing MTG a while ago. But my son still plays. I taught him when he was about 9, and at age 12 was the youngest at the time to Day 2 a limited GP. He backed off a bit in high school/college, but plays regularly now. Today he qualified for the PT. Top8 at the GP.

Crazy loud Knicks crowd at Staples Center. Not as loud as Luka crying to the refs but what is.

Nine out of ten best picture nominees down. Was kind of blown away by HAMNET. Jessie Buckley continues to amaze me every time she is on a screen and turned in a performance I will be thinking about for a long time. Paul Mescal deserved to be nominated for this as well.

I enjoyed this. Would have loved to see it made without network TV restrictions but it successfully served up Rockford Files vibes with Hiaasen weirdness.
