@mikemignola.bsky.social I used to give my kids copies of the Christmas issues of Hellboy you would create this time of year, like the Krampus comic.

Is there something you’d recommend?

I'm now impressed that Dinosaur Comics has a "Share on Bluesky" link.
I don't think I'll do this often, but I do see Bluesky come up more commonly as a sharing option.
Comic is kind of fun, too ;)

For Maths fans, 2025 is a square.
45² = 45 x 45 = 2025
Also,
9² x 5² = 2025
40² + 20² + 5² = 2025
My favourite?

I would love for games to become backyard games again
I am absolutely guzzling the kool aid on my favorite player's charity, which exists to decommercialize youth basketball, since it's burning kids out and potentially making them worse players.
While American kids are getting overworked and hurt, kids in Slovenia say they "felt free" playing hoops.
