I'm ready to jump in with a rebooted Defenders--the classic Gerber/Buscema book, not the Disney+ TV show--and a miniseries for Ultra Boy.

Howard the Duck's slogan during his 1976 presidential run was "Get Down, America!"

It was sometime in the early 21st century before I got the joke.

Resignation is Trump’s last chance at redemption Donald Trump’s presidency is a morality lesson — he’s a living example of what happens when a man is given power that far exceeds his character. It is time for America to acknowledge the lesson and…

This article baffles me.

a) Trump isn't resigning. His immunity as President is the only thing keeping him out of jail.

b) Resignation won't redeem him. It didn't redeem Nixon.

c) Trump isn't INTERESTED in redemption. Besides, that would require confessing his sins.

All I can advise is "Don't spend too much time in the produce section."

"Without stating your age, post your favorite film released the year you turned 18."

Good year. Thought about RAIDERS, TIME BANDITS, GALLIPOLI... but realistically, it's this one:

I say this as an American and a descendant of Ashkenazis:

Why the hell SHOULD Palestinians believe in the Torah, Chuck?

Yours is literally the logic used to justify pogroms. And the Inquisition. And any anti-Semitic act committed by gentiles. "THEY don't believe OUR holy book."

Fucking hell, man.

Weirdly, I stumbled across a facsimile edition of the debut issue of LOVE & ROCKETS yesterday. The same shelf held a MEGATON MAN title of some kind, so I was in a momentary time warp.

Here are their first six tracks on YouTube, at least:

Yeah, they've sadly escaped the whole streaming environment somehow. One more argument for physical media, I suppose...

(I was in grad school, DJing at UNC's student radio station, and clerking at the Record Bar downtown.)

Our kids haven't lived with us in 11 years. What are we, chopped liver?

And I don't from anyone who either had or taught or was a school-age child from March 2020 until June of 2021.

No, but I hear he's gonna be on Roger Taney's podcast.

The live 1978 "Baba O'Riley" from THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT was recorded at Keith Moon's final show. In comparison to the 1971 original, it's clear how much Townshend and Daltrey have improved from their early days; Pete's entrance is just thunderous.

It's also clear how much Moon has deteriorated.

Gotta love it when they put it in writing.

K talked to me about this one (I don't play) and I admitted that I too would have grouped four terms around the particular nerdery we three share.

When you punish a person for dreaming his dream, don't expect him to thank or forgive you

I had forgotten the Romney bit, but the rest of it is still screaming in my head.

I voted early! At 9:00 a.m. on the Saturday before Election Day! There was a line!

#VoteYes

So, today is drive, plan, class, class, writing conferences, lunch, plan, plan, class, writing conferences, drive, cardiac rehab, drive, shower, drive, Korean food, live theater, drive.

I suspect the new For All Mankind will have to wait until Saturday.

"And the people did feast upon the lambs, and sloths, and carp, and anchovies, and orangutans, and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats"

Aw, biscuits!

I could never get the hang of Thursdays.

My exercise physiologist cheerfully put me on a weightlifting regimen today... without replacing ANY of the aerobic regimen I'd been doing for the last month.

We'll see how I feel about this change in the morning.

Thank you. I'm still traumatized from years of seeing Antawn Jamison's name and not seeing Antawn Jamison's name.

There was literally a pangolin that flew combat sorties with the CIA in a dirty war in Laos that then died after drinking too much gin, so there’s at least one pangolin whose record is morally ambiguous

This reminds me of the time I saw a guy in the audience at a Carolina Chocolate Drops show try to advise Rhiannon Giddens on how to tune her banjo.

In order to protect our men, we’ve constructed a labyrinth and trapped Jolene inside it
