Has NYC Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani met with Jimmy McMillan yet? I’m not making a joke here. McMillan may be a serial fringe political candidate but he’s famous for one quote: “The aren’t is too damn high!” Mamdani’s push for affordability wouldn’t be hurt by a puff piece photo op with this legend.

The existence of “Casual Sex” implies the parallel existence of “Ranked Competitive Sex”… and if I can still win a pro wrestling title at age 54, I think I’d still have a shot at winning a regional sex title, too. Is there some kind of indie schtuping tournament I could enter. Hahaha… “enter”.

Shipping container homes are dumb. Tiny homes can be very cool. A well-built cabin in the woods is awesome especially if it’s near water.

If you voted for Trump, fuck you. I hope you smarten the fuck up and get it right next time. But still… fuck you.

The Epstein File Transparency Act is just another page in the shittiest Choose Your Own Adventure book ever written. There are still a dozen ways for Trump to ensure the files don’t see the light of day until he’s dead… and that’s assuming he hasn’t finally had the most incriminating shit destroyed.

Oh, sorry, kid, sorry. I’m not used to the laughter of children. It cuts through me like a dentist’s drill.

Bring money. Buy comics!

Was Maxine Dupri cosplaying as Fit Finlay on Raw tonight?

I miss Eric the Actor. I wish he had flown with balloons.

Took a peek at the current social media of a former acquaintance. I disassociated when their political leanings leaned too far to the right for me. Wild to see the journey from stripper to escort to p0rn performer to religion. Except for the right wing bullshit, I wish her well.

I believe in the death penalty but only for email/phone spammers and scammers.

Can you grasp just how shitty Dr. Oz being an elected official was that people were eager to vote for Fetterman? Thank the Panther god that this big, dumb Sasquatch isn’t running again.

‘Cuz I’m single and unprepared to mingle!

I was today years old when I found out out that Douglas Adam’s co-wrote two episodes of the kids cartoon Doctor Snuggles. I’m watching the first of the two right now. I’m pleasantly surprised to find Peter Ustinov was the narrator/voice of the titular Doctor.

And then sometimes you’re reminded that Sideshow Bob’s full name is Robert Underdunk Terwilliger… and all is well for a few moments.

Random Anthony fact: I think runny egg yolks are gross. I have rarely ever sent food back at a restaurant but when I do, that’s almost always why.

The Toronto Transit Commission should pay me to ride the buses and subways all day and, if anyone is playing something loudly on their cel phone WITHOUT HEADPHONES, I would get to smash the device out of their hands with a shillelagh.

How about casting a Magneto with a German accent? I’d be curious about seeing Christoph Waltz in that role… wouldn’t you?

My biggest pet peeve about any comic shop is if the back issue bins are in alphabetical order. If I come in with a list and I know what I want, don’t make me conduct a forensic examination of your store in the faint hope of finding one or two books.

Someday, Megatron will yell at Soundwave about surveilling the Autobots and Soundwave will say he already has the info. Then he’ll press his eject button and Rumble will pop out, dressed like Rick Astley, and sing “Never Gonna Give You Up”

Thanos holding Megatron in gun form and Megatron is studded with Infinity Stones. There. Now that I’ve written it down I can stop thinking about it CUZ ITS DUMB.

BaltimoreComiccon.bsky.social is upon us, and every year, they release a themed "Yearbook" to coincide with the convention. The theme is Jeff Smith's BONE, and I decided to honor not just Jeff Smith, but Charles Vess as well by doing my take on ROSE, their graphic novel prequel.

“Happy Valley” is another excellent example of British television doing scripted drama much better than the US. Quality over quantity. Three seasons of six episodes over 9 years. An HBO or Netflix might be able to do it well but no American network, needing 13-22 episodes a year, could do this.

Hey! Look at this very cool thing! I won’t tell you what it is… YET. But I will soon.

This man is a god damn sexual tyrannosaurus!

I’ve reached an age where my daydreams about what I’d do if I won the lottery are looking more and more like the plot of Brewster’s Millions. I’m in my mid 50s and have no kids. After I take care of a few people, who would I be saving for or leaving anything to? Might as well have a few adventures.

If Popeye has the strength to squeeze a can of spinach so hard that the lid rips open and the spinach flies up in the air… why does he need the spinach?

Bread not circuses. I’m watching a video about the Buffalo Bills’ new stadium and the billion dollars of taxpayer money various levels of government have given the ultra-rich Terry Pegula to build this thing. Plus, new seat licences and higher ticket prices are going to leave many fans in the dust.

The Pope condemning global wealth inequality is the right message from the wrong person. Your literal palace is its own country, pal.

Ricardo Montalbán screaming “THIS IS CETI-ALPHA FIVE!” is the single greatest line read in the history of cinema. You either agree or you’re wrong on purpose.

we have always been at war with eastasia.

Spent the evening cleaning and tidying while listening to the Jays thump the Yankees on the radio. Life ain’t too bad.

Found a slightly better spot for my living room cat cam so I can see three of the four most likely places she will be. It’s called “good parenting”, folks!

I play this Buzzfeed game almost every day. I’m never gonna bookmark it. My friend Andy used to play it every day too and he’d always post his results. I used to go to his feed and use the link in his results and compare my time. Now that he’s gone, it’s my excuse to see his photo and say hello.

Gave Chloe some catnip for the first time in forever. She seems pretty mellow.

If I ever did a TikTok dance video, it would be to recreate this Rodney Dangerfield classic. youtu.be/Q0X-oA2l-1E?...

I made short ribs and garlic mashed potatoes today because I’m friggin’ awesome and I deserve awesome stuff.

5:30pm is still too early in the day for one person to have smoked and drank enough to make an entire bus smell like this. These are 3am smells.

HEY! COMIC BOOKS NERDS of #BLACKSKY! (Comic nerds in general, really.) I recently assembled a list of brick-and-mortar comic book shops across the United States and Canada. Please check out the list and then go check out these stores! ruttgaizer.com/the-almost-d...

Fuck him. He’s rude to droids.

This would be a great time for a significant other to be here to cuddle up with me and let me tell them how cool my night was and then they tell me how cool I am and I would ask them about their night and they’d tell me equally cool stuff and I could tell them how cool they are… and then kissing. 😊

Stopped to grab a quick bite on my way to run some errands. This place has two counters and two tables. 16 seats, total…. and a sign that says “no dine in please”. Friendly.

A former co-worker posted a Charlie Kirk photo with the message “RIP. If you don’t like it, unfriend me.” So I took him at face value and unfriended him. If your heroes make their bones by sowing bigotry or hate, we probably don’t have much to say to one another anyways.

Ted Cruz thinks he’s charming. I wish there were enough voters in Texas who understood that he isn’t.

Call it virtue signalling, if you like. Either way, Disney doesn’t need my money.

How about a Star Trek zombie story where all of Starfleet’s cannon fodder return from the grave to attack the bridge crew? “Red Shirts Risen” “Night of the Living Ensigns” “The Walking Red”

I have Big Bottom by Spinal Tap stuck in my head. This is not a complaint cuz that is a legit great song.

I tried to imagine Gene Hackman’s Lex Luthor wearing the green and purple battle armor but it feels incredibly wrong.

Is “bird blindness” a real thing? 😁

Again, VIA Rail gets me to my destination only 20 minutes behind schedule. That’s something of a minor miracle for VIA.
