The Saturday Evening Post has seen a lot since 1821. Follow along as we take a look at the moments that defined each American decade since 1900.

So, my radiation dates have been scheduled. I kind of considered sneaking a spider in with me, but honestly, I don't want the great responsibility.

In James Gunn’s excellent new 𝘚𝘶𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘯 film, the Man of Steel takes on giant monsters, Lex Luthor, and what heroism looks like.

There comes a time for every podcast when they do a Taylor Swift episode. Today is that day as @troybrownfield.bsky.social joins me for a discussion of "Bad Blood" on the Summer of 2015 music video series! Apple bit.ly/3ARR4Z6 Spotify spoti.fi/40SBUNH YouTube youtu.be/MeCjrGrwxYM?...

The Boss dropped “Born in the U.S.A.” 40 years ago, and people have misunderstood it ever since.

For all the people cry-assing about there needing to be a Military Appreciation Month whenever Pride is mentioned . . . it was May. You missed it. In fact, you've missed it for 26 years. It was designated by Congress in 1999. 1/

Che and Jost's traditional joke swap was hilarious, but not nearly as funny as that plantation burning down. Has anybody put that shit to the Gone With The Wind soundtrack yet? Btw, saying "Fuck the Confederacy" should not be controversial in 2025. That's a 160 year-old ass-kicking. Get over it.

Any coverage of the Amazon tarriff disclosure story by @cnn.com @foxnews.com.web.brid.gy, the broadcast networks should remind everyone that the GOP desperately wanted Citizens United. You made sure corporate political speech was protected. Reap it.

One week to go until Surgery #1! For the record, I will probably be off of social for a few days after surgery as I’ll be in the hospital at least five days. So me not posting won’t be any kind of bad news, unless you count several days of soft foods and liquid as bad news.

Got some new project news as soon as I'm able to talk about it.

Just a reminder that you can now preorder Captain America for Dummies by @stuartmoore.bsky.social, Avengers for Dummies by @geneselassie.bsky.social, FF for Dummies by @hunterblackcomx.bsky.social, and Marvel Comics for Dummies by me at your favorite book outlets.

I don't know if I previously missed it, so sorry if it's old news, but for anyone who is interested, Amazon has preorders up for Micronauts and Rom Epic Collections.
