I owned this Crayola Designer Kit as a kid where I’d draw spaceships and cars for hours. It’s what made me want to go work for NASA (pre Challenger explosion). It was the coolest toy and literal hours would melt away as I drew.

Supergirl was a solid 3 out of 5. Good adaptation of Woman of Tomorrow. Felt slow at times that’s my lone gripe. Milly was great. The film was always better when Lobo showed up. Score was fantastic. Was just very cool seeing Woman of Tomorrow as a feature film. I look forward to a second watch.

As a guy who is just diagnosed with carpal tunnel I’m sad to hear that @hbomberguy.bsky.social is going through difficulties with his wrist. The pain can be awful. Rest up, chum.

I should get back into Bluesky. Threads has become kind of toxic even though there’s some great interactions there as well. Maybe I’ll start posting on both.

“I’m not the harasser. I’m the one being harassed.” - Smash JT. Watching this for some reason this morning after watching @alyssamerc.bsky.social brilliant video. It shocks me how little sense Smash has and listening to sycophantic followers helps him none. youtu.be/DlwX5xUiqzk?...

My good buddy @phymns.bsky.social has a Kickstarter for his sequel series Pleasant Life. You don’t need to have read the first graphic novel to enjoy this nerdy slice of life book. Don’t worry - you can also grab the first book too. Find it here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/ada...

Exciting.

The first issue comes out TOMORROW!!!! We get gay with it.

Spice Girls + Pride!

Great to see the CU Podcast covering the @alyssamerc.bsky.social lawsuit in a positive light and calling out Smash JT for the idiot that he is. Team Alyssa 100%. If it goes to trial I’m getting a T-shirt made. Great job @contricode.bsky.social and Ian.

Just read a nice article about Galaxy and @planetx.bsky.social on Bleeding Cool. Well deserved.

Love this photo: my brother Harif and I playing Mario Bros in an empty arcade. RIP Razz Ma Tazz in Perth Amboy.

Searched for and found myself on Plex. How cool.

Went over to a yard sale today and picked this Jean Grey #1 J. Scott Campbell 9.8 CGC for a literal steal. My first CGC comic - I have a couple I need to send in myself.

Heard a rumor that @hbomberguy.bsky.social may be dropping the Adobe video this very week. Also I may have started the rumor.

My copy of @evandorkin.bsky.social Nerd Inferno has arrived can’t wait to spend the weekend reading this humongous tome!!!

Did you preorder your copy of Nerd Inferno? Cause I did. And I can’t wait for it to get here.

I got a gift card from work so I preordered Nerd Inferno. It was the right move. Now I just have to wait 26 more days.

ChatGPT, who’s the most badass of them all?

Someone called SmashJT “SmashGPT” and that’s the most hilarious thing I’ve read on the internet this morning.

Literally my reason to be on Bluesky: to follow what @alyssamerc.bsky.social is up to. She’s sharing stuff on the Smash JT case and he would be foolish not to settle. And I haven’t even read anything yet. Team Alyssa 100%. Now I have reading to do.

(Possible) transphobe Mauro Mantella is already back to writing Bloodshot several months after the controversy. He apologized, deleted his Twitter, and I guess that was enough for the fine people at Valiant Comics. Just continue to run that company into the ground, Alien Books.

Well this is exciting news.

Just learned my 80’s crush @dianefranklin.bsky.social was in a TV movie with my favorite actor Bill Paxton that I’ve never seen or heard of and my mind… is… BLOWN. Looks like it’s on YouTube so I’ll be adding it to my list of flicks to watch ASAP.

After reading @nicoleamaines.bsky.social Bad Dream and hearing there was a biography written about her, I immediately ordered it. Can’t wait to read about her life and what she had to go through.

Sophie Turner as Lara Croft. Yes yes and yes. Looking forward to the Tomb Raider show. At least they got the look of Lara right.

Finished Bad Dream. Amazing story. Never knew the character before this and this was a great origin story. Written by trans actress @nicoleamaines.bsky.social who played the character on Supergirl?!? NEED TO WATCH. @ryehickman.bsky.social your art was amazing! And @planetx.bsky.social Galaxy too ❤️❤️❤️

If you read Young Heroes in Love or Major Bummer in the late 90’s from DC Comics we should absolutely be friends.

I’m going to go with… Strangers in Paradise Box Office Poison Young Heroes in Love Harbinger

Spirited Away may be the best animated film ever made. That list is short for me. Aladdin, Akira, and Spirited Away. Movies that astonish me every time I watch them. Still. After all these years.

What was your biggest impact on the internet? Writing for Newsarama I wrote some amazing articles. Most were lost when the servers were wiped but a few were backed up. Thank god. Still proud of these pieces. Here’s one I wrote 2002ish about then defunct Valiant Comics: sequart.org/magazine/281...

Happy New Year to the people who make BlueSky for me: @planetx.bsky.social @alyssamerc.bsky.social @catdespira.bsky.social @griffintalkscomics.bsky.social Looking forward to 2026!

Growing up I fell in love with Jim Valentino books like normalman, Shadowhawk, and Guardians of the Galaxy. I was blessed to become friends with Jim. He sent me a normalman trade which I just pulled out and found this Captain Everything he drew for me. Solid guy.

Edgar Wright’s The Running Man 2025 is easily his worst film. It’s just kind of stupid, boring, and basic. Shame. The cast is good and Glen Powell is a great actor. But it pales in comparison to the much surprise 1987 film. Arnold’s film was just so much fun.

Watching David Harbour’s Violent Night. Fun Santa Claus action film - I like it a lot on the rewatch. I’m totally in love with Alexis Louder. She’s great. If you’ve never seen her in Copshop I very much recommend that film.

Today’s my 50th birthday. Officially old. But I asked friends from around the world to send happy birthday videos and I love the response. Makes me feel a bit better for my first day in my 50s.

Seventh Christmas flick: Red One - a great holiday action flick with Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans trying to save JK Simmons Santa Claus. Good buddy movie that delves deep into Christmas mythology. Really like this film the second time around.

100% incorrect.

Sixth holiday movie: Elf. It’s a pretty great Christmas flick and Will Ferrell is outstanding. He really sells the film.

We were promised a Buckaroo Banzai sequel. While everyone has aged out, I would love to see a new BB movie whether it be a legacy sequel with new actors or a BB reboot. Must be Wild and crazy. Plus Bree’s two things.

@terrymooreart.bsky.social - I was trying to buy the 1/2 price softcovers of the series (to replace my individual volumes) but they aren’t coming up 1/2 off, even when in cart. Not a big deal as I don’t need them … but I WANT them.

Watching the documentary Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story and it’s making me tear up a bit. So sad what happened to Reeve but I love how he continued to hope for a cure to his paralysis. I guess I can cry on a Friday night.

You know what’s a great Paul Dano movie? Little Miss Sunshine. That was a heavy hitter cast and Paul shined in it (pun intended) while barely speaking most of the film.

My YouTube wrap up came and two of the top 5 that I watched in 2025 are channels that I watch/hate watch. Not sure how I feel about that. They aren’t awful channels by any means but def are very right leaning which I’m not. Trying to figure out what this says about me.

I’m shocked. SHOCKED… … that Red Letter Media is on Bluesky. It’s probably thanks to Rich Evans who is up on what the kids are doing these days.

Asked for Metroid Prime 4 for birthday/Christmas and can’t wait to play it. I do still need to get to DK but I’m having too much fun still playing old Switch games. Any Double Dragon Gaiden fans out there?

I admit I’m an Alyssa stan - so there’s that. But first off Alyssa is gorgeous. Second, she’s not sitting around having to look beautiful for anyone. Third - why does 8 Bit Eric sit around saying, “Hey… I need to make Alyssa “pretty” with AI. Didn’t he want to take her for a bucket of chicken?

Fifth Christmas movie: Kiss Kiss Bang Bang - a wonderful Shane Black / Robert Downey Jr Christmas movie. All the Shane Black tropes rolled into one awesome flick. Been too many years since I’ve seen this. Like meeting an old friend after so many years.

I may abandon Bluesky. I primarily come here to read messages by @alyssamerc.bsky.social @planetx.bsky.social and @catdespira.bsky.social … but I personally get zero interaction. My posts are quite boring I realize. But my boring posts do get attention on Threads.
