Just finished the final issue of @yayforzig.bsky.social’s Miles Morales run. What a blast! It was nice to see Miles and Peter together again-been too long seeing them play off each other like this. And I would really like to see Raneem continue to serve as Miles’ unique villain. This run managed

Man, I miss the JMS Spidey, who could be funny and not because he was a loser or being weird, but he had like, genuine jokes. And still had a good relationship with the other heroes.

Someone tell Mel Brooks to sue

@372pages.bsky.social you’re telling me you passed on a book that’s SO popular, it is on two separate “hot picks” tables at the Barnes and Noble? You gave us Shart, while apparently “Carl” has a character named “Donut” based on my cursory glance. There’s a lesson there, I bet.

In a shocking development, the easily called reveal was the reveal. No reason for the diving mask other than to try to keep the further heel-turn reveal hidden, I guess. Admittedly, there were some clever bits here, but I feel like the way the info was doled out made it feel messy. Again, if this

Up to date now on Amazing Spider-Man- not sure how to feel about the “Alecto” reveal. Feels really bizarre and like there should be more…gravitas around that? Like, that’s a wild swing. We’re just moving on? Ok. I wish we had more focus on Ben. I want him to have a damned story! And now Peter’s back

The Lego Gameboy process continues

“5 Below- cool stuff $1 to $5, but actually also more, and we’re going to be incredibly vague about where that line ends now”

Hot take- it’s ok to hate things because they’re not good! Not everything in pop culture needs to be rehabilitated because it was crapped on. This game was both different AND horrible! Spider-Man 3 was lame and didn’t do the characters justice! Newer Simpsons are kind of lame! Just be kind about it

My 4-year-old just tried a PopTart for the first time and said it “has sauce” and is “kind of like a pizza”, which has me worried she either has been having some really terrible pizza or I bought some really off PopTarts

The inner workings of a Gameboy, apparently. Slower going this time around!

A new Silent Hill and a new Castlevania announced on the same day?

YESSSSS!! I have long missed these two on MST. All this AND Mary Jo as well? Maybe we can get more than 4 episodes if all goes well……?

FB keeps suggesting video game fan groups that ALSO love generative AI. These dorks envision a bold future where literally every game is a remake of an SNES or Gameboy Advance game that all look EXACTLY THE SAME AS EACH OTHER. And they act like THEY did something by having the idiot machine make it

Rules of capitalization: if you don’t know where one goes, add it to be safe.

But this is why his base loves him. Because he’s a racist who is openly racist. They want permission to say these things again and he’s giving it to them. We know no one has the guts to say anything because the press has no balls and politicians don’t want to upset racists. This will do nothing

Is USA Today posting stupid shit ON PURPOSE, or did they actually think this headline was not dumb as fuck? It’s a real mystery.

At the children’s hospital, where they are playing “Gangsta’s Paradise” in the cafeteria. Seems to be going a bit hard for this crowd, but ok!

What’s funniest here- that it’s a flop by the metrics every other movie is judged by? That this article BASICALLY OUTRIGHT SAYS that Trump is using the White House for his own gain (no fucking duh)? Or that it’s STILL going out of its way to portray the movie as a huge success?

I even shoveled twice!! I got my snow, I’m done for 2026, now.

Spider-Man Noir #4- woof. Look, I’m trying to not just hate on everything, but what is happening here. It’s KIND OF connected, in that characters from issue 1 are showing up despite having no real plot relevance. This feels like either an attempt to reboot the series and add as many new characters

The Lego Gameboy set is gonna take awhile, so here’s the game cart that J made. Maybe more this week!

Read issue 3 and I still just…I don’t know. There was a subtleness and pacing to the original series where, he could talk about punching and fighting Nazis and it was good. This just feels campy and weird. Maybe it’s because reality is so fucked up, but this doesn’t have the same magic that the

Happy 6-year anniversary to the time a child (4-5 years old) came to our workplace wearing this hat. And me having to explain to an “English as a second language” family why he couldn’t wear it anymore.

If I ever use Siri, I usually end up telling it to fuck off. As a teen, I would spam the AIM chatbot “Smarterchild” with swears until it refused to talk to me…if I ever become dumb enough to use ChatGPT, I will probably actually get it to work right!

Having too much on my mind, making me stressed, now seemed like the perfect time to finally finish “Expedition 33” and be emotionally devastated by a video game. Good choice, good choice!

Finally seeing a longer promo for the Scrubs reboot and seeing JD in a sweater jacket is making ME feel old. But, you know, looks funny!

Catching up on Amazing Spider-Man 17 and while I’m glad we’re getting some connection between his “crew” and who Hellgate is, I’m still not super interested in this story. I’m finding the stuff on Earth more interesting right now. I also hope we get slightly more story about this, but I’m also

I only hope that when I pass, I have lived in such a way that social media does not blow up in mockery at the news. Realllllllly looking to get some mileage on this sentiment this year, soon, just for any other people? Universe? You hear me?

Finally read this- really enjoyed the overall story. It so expertly managed to capture both the “final battle” excitement and the “total despair as the plan falls apart” aspects. But despite being so prominently featured on this and the main cover, Wolverine is “Sir Not Appearing in This Comic”.

Not a bad pull for my Blind Bag on Ultimate Endgame #1! I’ll roll the dice again with the new Daredevil series too.

This is some multi-tier goodness here. 1. Mamdani looks like a happy dude and it’s great to see him with the kids. 2. Ms. Rachel is also such a good person and got our daughter to start talking. 3. Both these happy people piss off the right A LOT. 4. A gif of this can be used to mock them A LOT

Finally caught up on Stranger Things- I’ll admit the whole season wasn’t what I expected fully. There seemed to be pacing issues and I guess I expected a bigger focus on Eleven or maybe other characters. But overall, I enjoyed the finale. My only complaint really was that the military part

Made the mistake of informing my 4-year-old that her pizza slice had sauce on it, so now she wants a new one. Thankfully, this slice that is coming off the same piece apparently does not contain sauce and can be eaten.

Now that I realized I like these crazy Lego sets, I may have developed an expensive new hobby.

I don’t think my daughter’s new toy doctor’s kit is taking the medical profession seriously.

My politics have (thankfully) changed a lot over time, but having been on the wrong side for a while, I know how this will be spun and how people will convince themselves this is ok- that because Maduro was bad, that this is just fine. I also thought that when I didn’t know how to think properly.

My 4-year-old just discovered the joy of ketchup, not only for nuggets and French fries, but also for her diced cherry tomatoes. Which just seems redundant.

Ok ok ok…maybe fireworks tonight aren’t as enjoyable. You get like, the two main nights and then you gotta stow it for the other 363 days, sorry. Side note: the neighbors here suck.

This time of year really makes you appreciate just how many different college football bowls there are and how lucky we are to have so many months without them.

I’m in the wrong time zone, happy new year, but at the wrong time.

There’s one fun thing about being in this particular area for New Years- being able to set off our own fireworks, which is fun, despite my age

Seeing regional political ads is interesting. Where we live, we get a lot of ads for politicians/groups giving simpering support for Trump. In the deep-red state where my in-laws live, we just got an ad for pro-environmental/sue Trump group. And I don’t think they liked it as much as we did.

Watching more of “Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man” finally and it’s a shame this show didn’t get talked about more. I know we get a ton of cartoons with their own take on Spidey and his supporting cast, but I like what this one is offering. Plus, some real throwback references, like Identity Crisis

Decided a few days ago to pick back up “Vampire Survivors”, because it’s been awhile. Several days later and now I can’t stop playing and there’s still tons of stuff to unlock from the dlc updates. Can’t they see I’m in too deep?!

Merry Christmas!

The George C Scott version of “A Christmas Carol” is still just an absolute delight- granted my other experiences are “Mr. Magoo” and “Mickey Mouse”, but you know, I think this Scott guy might actually be just as talented.

Former coworker of mine, posting this on FB, having a REAL normal day

Some super job packaging there, Amazon. You could hit roughly 20 more books in there. I can’t wait for my next package to be loosely wrapped and fragile.

…they seriously censored his name?? Is this a joke??
