It is absolutely a Thing that as I've grown older my fondness for the Chicos, the Ringos, the Renos — all the solid hitters and game sustainers — has quietly eclipsed my adoration of the Complicated Geniuses. Yang yields to Yin, and most likely back again.

You vomited at the thought here first.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility ❤️🏳️‍⚧️❤️

Fünfundfünfzig. All systems go. Seize the silent weapons of a quiet war.

Her changes change her changes endlessly.

Pleased to meet you. It's my birthday too, ja.

Happy 14th Day of Wonder. The word is Ink.

Anyway, happy 14th Day of Wonder to those who still celebrate. Happy birthday to the girl who made the tapes, and circulated with those others, born in the same hospital as me within the same hour, whom I would not meet for another 17 years. Happy one more. 55 is 22 and 33 like they are.

This is precisely the sound quality of that tape, that summer, the ratted out foam on my ears, the empty lots, the future.

Pacific Rim it is, then.

"You won't 'bridge' anything. You'll publish for a year or so and will be read by a small percentage of the 500 people that are poetically literate in the United States. I don't see why you expect more nor why more would be preferable." -J. Spicer, draft 1947 letter to the editor of Bridge magazine

Maybe it's the allergies. Anyway, my ILL from SFPL came in. Back to reading the collected letters of a long-dead, alcoholic, queer, bigoted, self-loathing, hilarious genius. It's 1944 and he's worried he might force himself to believe in God.

Why am I tired? I'm a practical person. I have practical coping skills. I can, if I want, implement practical coping skills that I've read about. I know there are books here in the house that have practical applications for well-being that I could have read if I wanted to. I've seen videos that peop

Go and take a flying fuck at a rolling donut, you disingenuous bot. Go and take a flying fuck at the mooooooooooon.

If I decide to sell some used fountain pens on my site, d'ya think the "When the man in the ragged coat traded this to me for the stones in my pocket he said there was a great magic in it. Never got it to spell anything myself, but you look keen" angle still plays?

Please get back to us, Mr. Ray.

And it done me in the end. Speculum et Lux.

This Criterion Collection sale is lucky my birthday's coming up.

20 years and a week ago, turns out, was one week after we were late with the "breather/exposition" chapter of Dorothy. Huh. Things were falling apart all over the place then, too.

Saddle up.

CRUISING (1980 - Friedkin)

I'm headed for a Cliff.

peace out, fuckers

You all know what my raygun is.

Accidental Tao - 2016 "The mainstream view is that we, like computers, make sense of the world by performing computations on mental representations of it, but Chemero and others describe another way of understanding intelligent behaviour – as a direct interaction between organisms and their world."

Kreb.

I first read MAGE in the Starblaze Graphics volumes. Sam Kieth's name doesn't show up in the credits until V-three, but once you know he was in the mix, you can see his notes throughout the Wagnerian development. I have difficulty expressing the emotion I attach to this work. Ave atque vale.

Oh wow, 63 is so young. Comic book artists die so young. This is a big one for me. See you in the Great Local Comic Shop in the sky, Mr. Kieth. And anyone out there who's pushing an art tool across a piece of paper or screen today in the effort to make sequential comics... I love you.

“Oh! thou clear spirit of clear fire, whom on these seas I as Persian once did worship, till in the sacramental act so burned by thee, that to this hour I bear the scar; I now know thee, thou clear spirit, and I now know that thy right worship is defiance.” -Moby-Dick, CHAPTER CXIX - THE CANDLES

"Transporter accident?" "Yes, sir. Apparently Commander Bowie and Lieutenant Cave were on the pad when Doctor Lynch... well, he got involved."

I invest everything I make from my light into buying bigger bushels. It's a problem.

ALFRED, SON OF THE BAT — The Ultimate Experience In Meowing Terror

Santa Clara resident here: Don't kid yourself. We only wants yeggs with Cowboy Jim energy.

I knew Jughead had issues, but not that he would casually drop "adornment".

Keep on Truckin'...

Into the last third of this last book in a trilogy and already I wonder what to read next: something I've got that I haven't read, or something I can re-read because it came up and I'd like to know what new me thinks of it? In truth, I owe @mikechenwriter.bsky.social an amends.

Take it down a notch, cowboy. drafthouse.com/movies/plane...
