Passion Pit, I just wanted to listen to a banger and y’all got this AI slop on here like it’s gonna help you.

I listen to this song a lot, and did not realize the CD cover was a deer threatening to crop dust a rabbit.

Aaaahhhhh I just love learning this wildness. Folks out in the streets side eyeing the kids saying “six-seven” when we’ve been doing this shit for as long as we’ve existed.

Language just continually evolves through circumstance and necessity.

Holy heck god damn is this book a fascinating read. The prologue hits the term “unalive” hard and compares it to so many ways we’ve softened words around death - including “deceased”.

Just a little ways through and fascinated.

I don't get this. Why does Spider-Man have his jeans and sneaks on but superhero top?? Why is Gwen looking straight at camera? Why is Harry's hand... under his laptop? Why is MJ reading like if the book touches her bare skin, she'll die. Who free balls a book and sits like that.

Ah , okay. KYLE STARKS, the man behind such amazing books like KARATE PROM and SEXCASTLE (and so many more) is doing a book called WRESTLE HEIST - and folks, I am on board just by name alone.

My guy: enjoy this for the second before I block you. Bluesky thinks you suck.

It was this. That said, I’m still on her side for this.

DC's current spine design is heavy on the sarifs, and I... I don't know what I think. What are your thoughts?

ASSORTED CRISIS EVENTS has been my series of the year. A future where a time crisis is bleeding into everyone's lives. Stories about folks just trying to live as the fantastic bleeds into their lives - time sliding around them. The first five issues are out - and the first collection is on its way.

Out this Wednesday: Marvel All-On-One, a book that is wall to wall splash pages of The Thing fighting.

I read one page of @ryannorth.ca writing Iron Man and went "oh, this guy would be PERFECT for an Iron Man book".

Got a chance to read this last night as I was placing final orders. This is an incredible opening salvo for @ignitionpress.bsky.social.

Quick pitch: a new season of a defunct podcast pops on the feed, and anyone who listens to it is overtaken with the need to murder.

The folks from @magpiebooks.bsky.social remain undefeated in recommendations. Not a book I would have picked for myself but my goodness is it resonating.
