This is one of the best single issues I’ve read in a very long time. If you’re not reading “Assorted Crisis Events” you’re missing out. It’s brutally honest, insightful, great comics work from @denizcamp.bsky.social @ericxyz.bsky.social Jordie Bellaire and Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou

I loved Thunderbolts*. I thought it was terrific. Florence Pugh is a charisma and charm MACHINE. You can’t help but root for her and empathize with her and like her.

Episode III said

Just here to saw Sinners was a masterpiece. Wow. That’s a movie that’ll stay with me.

We rewatched “O Brother Where Art Thou”, SUCH a great movie.

It’s weird that the Severance season 2 score isn’t available.

They should just give Britt Lower an Emmy right now. Seriously, her work on #Severance is just incredible. The amazing and subtle distinctions and variations on a character are just remarkable. This show is one of the highlights of my week.

The Super Bowl had 3 completely different nightmare fuel ads: (1) the Seal seal (2) the tongue thing (3) the cowboy hat head kid Please do less of this, ad people

40-22 and it wasn’t even nearly that close of a game. It might as well have been 40-8 or something. Wild. Not the outcome I was expecting.

Definitely my favorite Soviet Cold War-era indie band.

Surprise, you’ve been traded to the Lakers.

McDaniels as Patriots OC feels uninspired. Clearly the team has had success with him, but I wonder if maybe some newer, more up and coming offensive mind might be better for Maye.

Have to wonder who the one schmuck is who didn't vote for Ichiro to get into the HoF.

Women’s claims of sexual abuse must be heard – unless they’re about master storyteller Neil Gaiman, apparently | Marina Hyde

Watching new Severance made me realize how much I missed this show and just how good it is. We went back and started watching it from the beginning.

I have unironically loved Lynch’s “Dune” for 40 years. Even if he didn’t love it, that’s ok, those of us who love it REALLY love it.

On a more positive note, I finally read this. What an amazing book.

I wrote about Neil Gaiman, and the women accusing him of sexual coercion, assault and abuse. www.vulture.com/article/neil...

Men would rather wreck the fucking world than get therapy.

Skeleton Crew is the most fun I’ve had with Star Wars in YEARS*. *not “better” than Andor, but more fun, and totally different.

I like seeing the old-school Broncos uniforms. They’re much more fun.

Ugh. The stupid Pats aren’t even good at losing.

We saw “A Real Pain” a few days ago and it was excellent. I really identified with the David character and a lot of the time I was very activated by Benji. I’ve known some Benjis in my life.

My favorite comics of 2024 included 2 different comics (“Kneel Before Zod” and “If you find this I’m already dead”) drawn by the terrific artist @danmcdaid.bsky.social www.panelpatter.com/2024/12/jame...

It's time! Here's @sinisterjhk.bsky.social favorite comics of 2024: www.panelpatter.com/2024/12/jame...

I don’t write a lot about comics these days but I couldn’t let a year go by and not write about my favorite comics of 2024 over at @panelpatter.bsky.social There were a lot of books I loved this year. www.panelpatter.com/2024/12/jame...

The Bills’ uniforms look almost identical to old-school Patriots’ uniforms.

What I find hilarious is all of these NFL teams that are like “oh no we can’t bring in Belichick, he’ll be disruptive, he’ll want too much control” as if what they’re doing is actually working. Your team’s terrible and/or irrelevant! How would Belichick make it worse? www.nytimes.com/athletic/598...

To kick off my coverage of 2024 in comics, I talked with folks like @kierongillen.bsky.social, @definitelyvita.bsky.social, @trungles.com, and more about what stood out to them this year, whether it was comics, graphic novels, trends, experiences, or whatever. It's open to non-subscribers.

My top music for the year.

Never forget the true meaning of Cyber Monday.

nobody does more brutal fashion reviews than the irish

I started watching “Slow Horses” and I am probably the first person to report this but it’s very good!

Finally saw Transformers One. That was a lot of fun! Very solid, entertaining movie.

Really interesting first episode of Dune:Prophecy. Definitely a lot to think about and a lot of mysteries. Also really strong season 2 debut for Silo. Wow. Such a good show.

The Pats offense looks…pretty good?
