My dad sent me this

The vanity plate on the car in front of me, not bothering anybody: “MCF” My brain: “Ah, yes. My Chemical Fromance.”

Music for the month of August! This is out of 1,626 minutes streamed through Apple Music. If CDs listened to in the car were included, Bob Mould and Maxtone Four would’ve been #1 & 2, easy.

Yeah, Spotify Wrapped is fine, but Apple Music lets you see your top plays every month! Here’s my July. If time spent listening to CDs was included, that Aimee Mann number would probably double.

Born Nov. 2, 1974, Cornell Iral Haynes Jr. -- known to the world as Nelly -- is 18,530 days old today, matching Wilford Brimley's age on the day 'Cocoon' was released. Congrats Nelly! You've reached the Brimley/Cocoon Line.

I don't understand modern culture, I just know thirty five years ago I would've had a two-page strip with these idiots ready tomorrow for a FedEx flight to the Deadline office. Instead I drew this dumbness in a minute before going to bed. I old.

As happens once or twice a year, I woke up with a song from the movie “God Help the Girl” stuck in my head. This led to me listening to the soundtrack this morning, which means I’ll listen to almost nothing else all week, which means I’ll have to watch the film this weekend. God, I love this movie.

Quote tweeting to remember to show my daughter tomorrow. Love these!

Writers—every time you think to yourself, “Wouldn’t it be cool if these characters were related to each other?” Take a deep breath, and then throw yourself down a flight of stairs.

All it needs is a “, Big Brother!” at the end and I’d believe this was an actual manga.

Interviewer: Can you explain this gap in your resume. Scott McCloud: See that space BETWEEN the panels? That’s what comics aficionados have named “the gutter...” Tagging @scottmccloud.bsky.social ...

A comic I wrote for Free Comic Book Day! @pencilforge.bsky.social killed it with the artwork on this one.

On this #420day, we celebrate the 52nd anniversary of performers “Gail & Dale” singing the hit, “One Toke Over the Line,” on Lawrence Welk. Neither had an idea the song was about pot, and Welk thought the song was a “modern spiritual.”

Hid this bad boy somewhere in the yard for the egg hunt today.

Question for the hive mind: my 5-year-old’s Japanese class is studying how people live in Japan—home life, school life, stuff like that. Is there a good kid-friendly slice of life anime available in an English dub?

Happiness as a music critic; trying to write about a song today whose vibe reminded me of an ‘80s song—a SPECIFIC ‘80s song, but I couldn’t put my finger on it. Then in the car, the song I was searching my brain for came on the radio: “All I Need Is a Miracle” by Mike + the Mechanics. Made my day.

Why does this echidna look like he’s about to drop the hottest jazz piano album OF THE YEAR

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

Currently listening to Live’s “Throwing Copper” and I made this meme.

Punk rock allows FOUR chords now? Getouddahere, showboats.

Warnock: They are busy attacking ordinary people. They don’t understand what it’s like to ration your prescription drugs or what it’s like to try to figure out how to afford groceries. In the words of that prophet who just spoke at The Super Bowl: They not like us

Went to play a playlist a friend made on the free version of Spotify. It plays one as and says “Enjoy the next 30 minutes commercial-free!” Reader: it played ONE song, then FOUR ads. Then two more songs, then three MORE ads. Cripes.

Checked this band out on a whim—very glad I did! Definitely worth a trip to the @oldrockhousestl.bsky.social on a Thursday night. theartsstl.com/on-tour-mich...

I’d never make it on Chopped but I’m an expert at Leftover Surprise. Today’s tasting menu: 1/3 of a bbq pork quesadilla (itself made of leftovers from another meal—leftoverception! 😮), 2 T-ravs, 3 hush puppies from last night’s fish fry, & a few pieces of gyro meat from a not-too-fresh Greek salad.

Spotted @rays666hell.bsky.social at the St. Louis Public Library!

There is a special place in Hell for people who put a half-empty backpack in the overhead bin on a full flight.

Listening to “Houses of the Holy” in full for the first time in a very, very long time, and man, I’ve heard the Stone Temple Pilots cover so many more times that the original version of “Dancing Days” just sounds weird to me now.
