It’s better than when I told my therapist I’ll be moderating a discussion/Q&A at Comicpalooza and he said, “Is that the hotel downtown?”

I wrote this.

I can only read comic books when they’re actually published in hardcover/trade paperback form.

Anybody else do that shit?

I’m always amused when people on both sides say, “We need to take our country back.”

When will y’all learn that we never had that muhfucka to begin with?

If @criterion.bsky.social ever does a box set of Will Ferrell-Adam McKay movies (suggested title: STAY CLASSY, AMERICA: THE FERRELL-MCKAY QUINTOLOGY), Tom Carson should write the essay.

The last time I saw this in a theater, the end-credits sequence gave me vertigo as I was walking down the aisle steps.

There is only one person who can get Bluesky working again.

Houston’s gotta be the only place in the world with irresponsible nuns.

Reason #98 I Was a Weird Child: My 8-year-old ass would watch FRIDAY NIGHT VIDEOS and listen to the station it was simulcast on at the same time. (My station was 93Q FM.) I also did this whenever HBO or Showtime aired concerts for the first time. youtu.be/2gx8olV3RGE?...

Too Close for Comfort - College Sweatshirt Heaven College Sweatshirt Heaven - Commish looks at the 1980s TV show and does a deep analytical dive into all 129 episodes where the main character wore so many different college sweatshirts.

I just found out about this. sickos-newsletter.beehiiv.com/p/too-close-...

Reason #7 I Was a Weird Child: In the mid-‘80s, I watched TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT religiously and wanted to have a collection of college sweatshirts like Ted Knight had on the show. I even spent one month listing the sweatshirts he wore on each episode.

NIGGA I WAS 10!!

Top 5 items that were used by adults to keep me in line as a kid:

Alamo Drafthouse: Far from Fantastic The nationwide dine-in cinema chain remains popular despite accusations of union busting and allegations of sexual assault.

When you see articles about Alamo Drafthouse fucking up its brand and remember when you warned @texasobserver.org readers this is where they’re heading four years ago. www.texasobserver.org/alamo-drafth...

Beatrice Foods Commercials 1984-86 YouTube video by Kenshi Kitsune

Reason #18 I Was a Weird Child: During the mid-‘80s, I mostly ate Beatrice Foods. I even wrote an essay in class about how Beatrice was a real person who came from Rome and started a food empire.

I read it aloud and ended it by singing the theme from THE GOLDEN GIRLS. youtu.be/QZayzJX31l4?...

I wrote this.

Reason #78 I Was a Weird Child: Back in Catholic school, I was obsessed with Blake Edwards movies and came up with the cast list for an imaginary Biblical epic directed by him called THE ROSARY. Julie Andrews is the Virgin Mary. Richard Mulligan is God. Bo Derek is Eve.

I was 7.

Reason No. 45 I Was a Weird Child: For my freshman year of high school, I begged my mom for a pair of cowboy boots, b/c everyone on MTV wore cowboy boots.

When I got the boots, I used to wear them with khakis and aquamarine polyester pants.

It was 1990. No one was wearing that shit.

Maybe it’s because his first term still resonates with me due to those four years being also, personally, the worst years of my life, but I’m always stunned by people who didn’t see any of this coming.

The muhfucka literally did a dry run a decade ago!

It’s funny that people think Zendaya is distancing herself from That Show because of Sydney Sweeney, and not because the new season looks like a trainwreck & she wants to focus on the 15 other movies she’ll be in this year.

Remember, all of this could’ve easily been avoided if you stopped being racist/sexist/scared of change and just voted for the light-skinned lady.
