Top 10 DC faves, off the cuff: Batman from Batman TAS/Batman Adventures Damian Wayne as written by Grant Morrison and only as written by Grant Morrison Superboy (Kon-El) Barbara Gordon Tim Drake Superman Kyle Rayner Green Arrow Animal Man Captain Marvel

This is neat. I really wish it were X-Men-focused so we could get some of those lost handheld games back, alongside the Genesis games, like with the TMNT collection, but I know the license bounced around quite a bit, so that's unlikely. Ah, well.

An underrated album you should all listen to right now: jennyowenyoungs.bandcamp.com/album/avalan...

Eraserhead. Brilliant outsider art. Never again.

TIL that Cougar Town was a real show. I always thought it was just a ridiculous TV show title that the Community writers came up with for Abed to be obsessed with.

I think part of why everyone finds Liu so captivating is that we've all been taught to see peak athletes as Sports Martyrs, but she seems entirely unbothered and authentically joyful, and that feels like a huge breath of fresh air.

Reading the comments on a YouTube trailer and getting mad at online strangers for liking something I also like, but for the wrong reasons.

Sad to hear about Tim Very. Manchester Orchestra was a band that had completely passed me by until I heard this song off of "The Million Masks of God." I immediately checked out the full album and quickly purchased the vinyl. It's incredible. RIP

The good news is that you can always listen to The Blood Brothers' 2003 post-hardcore masterpiece "...Burn Piano Island, Burn." They can't stop you.

Thrice Audiotree set. Romeo Is a Dead Man NJPW New Beginning in Osaka New comic books A good day.

The Mummy is like Pirates of the Caribbean for me, meaning I enjoyed the first film tremendously for the playfulness and derring-do, but would be happy never to think about the overblown sequels again. However, I can't help but be cautiously excited about this.

The daily briefing newsletter from my local major newspaper is split between featured stories at the top and "trending stories" at the bottom. The top stories have always, frustratingly, been almost 100% local sports, but I at least used ot find actual local news in the "trending" section. Now...

Joyce Manor putting out yet another full-length album that's shorter than most EPs is god-tier punk shit.

I got sent a review copy of the new Dragonlance Legends hardcover and the cover treatment feels evocative of an old Zelda cartridge, which I love. Side note: let me know if you or anyone you know would like to pay me to write about Dragonlance!

Kumail just looking for any opportunity to show Kingo bod.

Saved this to read for later, but this weekend may finally be the weekend I revisit this underappreciated classic of cinema.

Today is a good day to Bomb the Music Industry!

Every interaction I’ve ever had with someone else’s pet:

God bless Billy Bragg, still out there being Billy Bragg.

Ultimate Heroes Reborn? What a cursed thought.

This is my library. TN's State Secretary Tre Hargett is essentially intimidating local libraries into hiding or removing books he/the supermajority GOP doesn't like.

I've been playing Tactics Ogre: Reborn, and man, that game gets bogged down in its last chapter by sidequests that basically amount to "do a bunch of repetitive battles until you get to the bottom of the dungeon" right as it's about to hit its climax. Kills the pacing.

The Masters of the Universe movie seems fun, and I'll probably see it, but man, I wish it didn't look 90% like a video game cutscene.

This company is 1000000% out of ideas.

This A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms review brought to you by someone who has definitely never seen The Princess Bride.

There's also a bit in here about how GRRM and Condal fell out over changes to HotD. It reminded me of how I sometimes see people on the LOTR Reddit complaining about changes in the movie in a way that makes it sound like they really just wanted the movie to be Peter Jackson reading the books aloud.

One of the few great works of the internet age that had remained good is sadly no longer good. This sucks.

For years, fans have come up with weird theories, accusations, excuses, or whatever for GRRM not finishing Winds of Winter. For most of those years, I've insisted the explanation is simple: He's lived with this story so long that he's now bored with it. Turns out, I was right.

Thinking about this Guillermo del Toro quote as I turn 41 today.

World’s a fuck, share an island.

Where are my early 2000s Solid State Records listeners at?

The IWGP World Heavyweight Title is the New 52 of wrestling championships. WK20 was a Crisis-level event. Restoring the Heavyweight Championship and merging its lineage with the World Heavyweight is a retcon that introduces legacy numbering to NJPW. In this essay...

"No, young one, I am not angry at you. I am just disappointed."

Still a few I haven't gotten around to just yet (primarily The Phoenician Scheme, Wake Up Dead Man, and Highest 2 Lowest), but here's a ranking of 2025 films I did watch. (A Minecraft Movie is cut off at the bottom somewhere. The less said or seen of it, the better.)

Just finished watching NJPW's New Year Dash and man, that Yuto-ICE promo 🔥🔥🔥

I need someone to put Equilibrium on 4k Blu-ray. @arrowvideo.bsky.social came through for me with the TMNT movies and Conan the Barbarian. Where are they with this one?

…this year will be better than the last.

Just sent off my most evergreen text exchange.

Suffering from post Christmas exhaustion. Can’t think. Need something fun that will numb my brain, something I can fall in and out of sleep while watching without issue. This’ll do.

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, passed the test. He will diminish, and go into the West, and remain Tiny Tim.

My wife lost a game of chicken with the "maximum bid" button on an auction, so now I own these second edition copies of The Lord of the Rings, complete with the original maps and everything. Merry Christmas to me!

I want more character as much as anyone, but what the Marvel Cosmic Invasion really needs is a survival mode like the one they eventually added to Shredder's Revenge. deadline.com/2025/12/marv...

Thomas Jane as "Bones" McCoy is some inspired casting, and I'm angry it's only for one episode.

Internet hive mind, what are some examples of musicians primarily known for working in punk and adjacent genres putting out sincere Xmas albums? I'm already aware of Dustin Kenrue's "This Good Night Is Still Everywhere" and Brian Fallon's "Night Divine" (both worth a listen).

The existence of David Finch and David Fincher implies the existence of David Finchest.

Hell yeah, Coheed & Christmas. www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4T6...

Repo Man (1984, dir. Cox)

My wife and I are taking her niece to her first concert tonight. She wanted to see Silverstein in Nashville, which means I get to see Thursday in Nashville. That, my friends, is what we call a win-win.

If you like old school Midwest emo, FORWARD by First Day Back is essential listening. Just came out last week, and I instantly fell for it.
