Me at 2:16 AM: wow it's crazy that KRS-One had such a meaningful cultural footprint that Sublime wrote an earnest tribute song about him when he was only 26 years old.

My high school's Wikipedia page only lists two "Notable Alumni." One is the current governor of AZ and the other is Rachel from The Real World San Francisco. I wouldn't have considered her to be more famous but thanks to our current administration her husband is 14th in the line of succession

Tomorrow is Chris Conroy Day and everyone should observe.

New character idea: Martin Manhunter

Oh yeah that's the good stuff

I want to be excited about the new Muppet Show but I find the current Kermit voice unsettling.

Me when I get a six-digit authorization code texted to me: "Oh yeah, that's a good code."

New year, new...job?! Still at DC Comics, now in the new position of Director, Book Market Sales! Allow me to sell you some books.

Found an apple in my work bag that I forgot to eat the last time I was in the office more than two weeks ago. I bet if I eat it I could extend my break (due to getting sick).

It's good

About to have my first cara cara orange of the season.

When I saw IT'S COMPLICATED with my mother in the theater back in 2009, about halfway through she leaned over and whispered to me, "This is a really good movie." Sixteen years later, I felt an impulse to say the same exact thing to my girlfriend during MARTY SUPREME.

My phone died at the airport on Christmas Eve and I wasn't able to get it fixed until today. I was so gloriously unburdened by distractions that I felt like I took the Limitless pill.

Amazing end to the year! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all the support you showed the absolute universe, KO, and DC Comics as a whole this year! Best fans. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

So angry about that Health and Human Services video I just saw that I can’t even bear to repost it. Leave trans people alone and let them have their healthcare and live their lives, period, end of sentence, stop being so FUCKING weird about this!!!

DC solicits are out, revealing that the legendary Denys Cowan @denyscowan.bsky.social is joining Nightwing as our ongoing artist with #136. A brand new mystery. A brand new Bludhaven. And the covers by @jorgefornes.bsky.social are going to blow you away. I'm so excited for this new arc.

Leaving for NYC in the morning, new Taylor just dropped, still riding the post-ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER high. Other than the persistent horrors feeling pretty good

The only thing weirder than watching the "AI actress" coverage roll out is when I realized its creator was someone I did multiple improv classes with many years ago!!

One of the more fun things I've been working on: the DC K.O. bracket challenge! This was something we were excited to pull off from the start, and I love that an interactive element like this works so well with the story itself. Submit your bracket now: www.dc.com/ko

Submit your complete DC K.O. bracket before Tuesday, Oct 7 to be entered into the Grand Prize promotion—and pick up DC K.O. #1 by @ssnyder1835.bsky.social and @javifernandez.bsky.social, on sale Oct 8

Who will I see at NYCC??

Did a Wikipedia deep dive on the supporting cast of ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER and discovered that Dan Chariton, who played Comrade Josh, co-wrote the 2003-2004 SILVER SURFER series.

Someone in my neighborhood is doing a Matthau purge.

We’ve been cleared to share it, so we can say we did a variant cover for Absolute Martian Manhunter 7, dropping December 24! The book slaps, we were delighted to be asked to contribute. @denizcamp.bsky.social and @javierrodriguez.bsky.social really have something special with this book.

DC W.I.P.: ABSOLUTE BATMAN #1 is on sale now and look at this thing!! Black and white Nick Dragotta art at 11x17”!! (Banana for scale.)

Absolute Batman 15 December @jockbsky.bsky.social and I tell the story of the Joker, a nightmare re imagined for the Absolute Universe by @nickdragotta.bsky.social and me…. Excited for this one.

At the end of last month I thought to myself, "This year has been pretty rough, but I'm going to focus on what I can control and try to shift that narrative in a more positive direction for the final third of 2025." Results have been mixed so far!!

Just did the Monday NYT crossword in 4:22. Must train harder to get under four minutes.

Got a new little Leuchtturm for my birthday back in June and been carrying it around but the only thing I’ve managed to write in it so far are my star ratings for night 1 of the G1. It’s been that kinda summer.

Honey Don't, but I do—recommend this movie, that is! (I haven't seen it.)

I was genuinely stoked to eat at a Cracker Barrel for the first time a few months back and it was mainly pretty bad. Waffle House lives up to the hype, though.

Between Michael Ian Black in SUPERMAN and Mather Zickel in FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS, it’s been a great summer for The State and The State-adjacent performers portraying TV news people in superhero movies.
