i love beatles and rolling stones and all them, but i personally feel pink floyd is the one band from that era whose music really truly speaks to me.

i’ve been on a kick all weekend listening to the albums, but really it’s been going strong for years. i even got to see roger waters live in ‘22!

i didn’t expect this new LONGSHOTS comic to be so funny.

like yeah it’s a part of the x-men age of revelation, but Hickman and Duggan really made me chuckle with the self deprecating pokes at some comic book industry stuff.

its like the cerulean blue sweater in the devil wears prada.

some people might see just a costume, but there’s a deeper meaning there.
There are so many DC characters whose costumes are variants of Superman's. He lets them wear it though, that's just an example of his largesse

Comic books aren't just escapist fantasy. They're sophisticated social critiques.

erin and i decided to check out a local “emo nite” event at a regional brewery.

the booze was spot on, but we have a lot of questions as to what the DJ thought Emo music was.

shout out to @southfellini.bsky.social for the JAWN shirt.

So much of that performatic toxic masculinity bullshit is just deep insecurities.

Sure bro, whatever you need to tell you to justify not being able to give your wife an orgasm.

it’s kind of wild that patrick stump is making music for disney junior shows. it sounds like any Fall Out Boy album

erin said it’s so the parents have something tolerable they can bop to while the cartoons play

i really enjoyed what Steve Foxe did with this Superior Avengers mini.

his storytelling style always keeps me engaged, and he’s by far my favorite of Marvel’s younger writers.

this might be one of the best unorthodox photos i have ever taken of my wife.

i saw the way she was lit and was immediately compelled to capture the moment.

HBO Max added 30 classic crime films in Nov — from proto-noirs like THE PUBLIC ENEMY (1931) to essentials like OUT OF THE PAST (1947).

Including their Criterion titles, they now have nearly 100 pre-1960 noirs.

There’s even a dedicated #Noirvember section. (New adds in alt text.) #FilmSky #FilmNoir

“The Rules of Attraction” by Bret Easton Ellis was that book for me

i was a freshman and a kid in the dorms turned me on to this book that was an insane whirlwind of alcohol and drugs and sex and ennui set in a fictional university, like a funhouse mirror my own life at the time.

i’m taking advantage of the holiday by laying in bed and reading comics all morning.

it’s nice to shut off the part of my brain that worries i am not doing enough or working hard enough and just get back in touch with why i like this medium to begin with.
