@tomking.bsky.social Quick question from a comic retailer: has Helen of Wyndhorn #5 been delayed? It seems to have disappeared from the Diamond and PRH sites.

I love classic film but there's a lot I've never seen before. Watching The Seventh Seal for the first time tonight and I'm blown away by the cinematography. Also, the line "We carve an idol out of our fear and call it God."

Turned on PlutoTV because I didn't feel like making decisions, and landed on the Original Star Trek channel. The episode: Mirror Mirror. @georgetakei.bsky.social Mirror Universe Sulu is pretty amazing. So much love to you.

Loving this new track from Cosmo Sheldrake, and really excited for the album to come out in April. I hope this take ends up on the final version!

My kid just asked me, "What would happen if I ate your eyeball?" and all I could say was, "I'd have to tell @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com that I've found the Corinthian."

@neilhimself.neilgaiman.com random question (and apologies if you've answered this elsewhere!): what are your thoughts on the ways comic publishers age grade comics? For example, is the 'mature readers' tag on the Norse Mythology comic accurate?

My kid (age 6), talking about "Feliz Navidad": "I like this song! But I only hear it at Christmas time."
My wife: "That's because it's a Christmas song."
Kid: brain explodes

My partner and I have been studying Turkish for a while. It's not an easy language for which to find instruction, so we rely on Duolingo. Some of the sentences are truly funny. Example: İki kedi hakkında rüşvet iddiaları var.

Just discovered that the Grandmaster under whom I briefly studied taekwondo was the guy who trained the guy who is now considered the "Father of Taekwondo" in India. I knew that Grandmaster Lee was an amazing teacher. I had no idea that he had such an impact on the art.

My kid loves to draw. It's so much fun to see what he comes up with, and to watch his skill develop. Tonight he pointed out the Caldecott medal on the cover of the book we were reading and asked if maybe he could win one. I hope someday he does! More importantly, I hope that he just keeps drawing.

Okay, I'll admit it: I've been using Google Podcasts. Given that they're shutting it down at the end of the year, I'm on the hunt for a new player. Recommendations?

I love Calvino. He's not all-weather fare for me, but there are some passages that stick, no matter how long ago I read them. This is one of them. (And it tracks for me, with social media.)

All right. I'm done teaching until January, so I have a little more time during the day. Still not up to full capacity, but really want to try in earnest to get back to writing the book I've been chipping away at. Suggestions on how to manage time when you're done with life around 4 pm every day?

Having a down day today. Not sure why. It gets better, right?

Lately I've been revisiting albums that I haven't listened to in years. Today's picks are Led Zeppelin III and IV. Is it sacrilege if I skip Stairway?

I was admitted to the hospital 32 weeks ago today, and discharged 29 weeks ago today. It is only in the last week or so that I've had enough energy to work a full shift without feeling broken the next day. Sometimes progress is so slow. It's nice to be able to look back and see some improvement.

The thought of Foghorn Leghorn as a university president is, quite frankly, the funniest thing I've seen in a long time. Well done, Ivan Cohen!

I'm operating under the assumption that the many worlds interpretation holds up even if the universe is a simulation. And the amount of data involved in that assumption is absolutely staggering.

My kid, like all kids, has his momentary obsessions. His current one is Mario. Now listen: I come from a family of Sicilians and never in my life have I heard the phrase "mamma mia!" as much as I have in the last three months.
