Supporting a fun book that reminds me someone needs to reprint How to be a Superhero from 1990. You don't need me to tell you Daniel Kibblesmith is hilarious. But thanks @chroniclebooks.bsky.social for amplifying it.

I don't know if this should be concerning, but currently, Fanboy Planet is getting a ridiculously high amount of traffic from Singapore. Something going on with nerd culture there?

I did not have this on my spam bingo card — got an Instagram request to join in on OnlyFans content. Once again I remind people that despite my having written a book called I Was Flesh Gordon, I was NOT Flesh Gordon.

This is pretty cool.
The Government is now shut down, but apparently nobody called the school in the Bronx that had come to the Capitol for their tour today, so they're getting the treat of a lifetime since AOC agreed to give them the tour herself!
I’m loving this for all of them!

I dreamt last night that I was shopping at a Sears and they had signs up for a special 50% off all Mark Rylance toys. And I was mad because there weren’t any. I woke up and thought, has Mark Rylance ever been in a movie that had action figures?

One of these rich dudes invested in a food company with all proceeds going to kids in need. The other started Sundance Institute, boosting the lives of countless artists. Hey modern rich dudes, don't be a typical greedy AI crypto-prick, be like these two.
