He/him/ugly bag of mostly water. Missing pet posters make me cry.
Winner Take All by James McKimmey

A hard boiled down-on-his-luck type finds out he’s got a pampered rich identical twin who owes a lot of money to a Las Vegas hood and shenanigans ensue.

I had been unimpressed with two of McKimmey’s other books but this one was pretty damn good.

If you’re bothered by something Wil Wheaton says just remember that his job is tables, and he works there every weekend sitting next to Lou Ferrigno

Deadly Weapon by Wade Miller

A decent read. Can’t really go into it further without ruining the twist.

ICE is upset that ICE isn't welcome in restaurants after ICE ordered food at a restaurant, ate it, then arrested restaurant employees, and ICE believes this is someone else's fault, do I have that right?

It's Wednesday and my body's like "hahaha just kidding youre still sick!"
Always great when you’re sick all weekend and it’s only around the last few hours of Sunday when your body goes “All better! You can go outside now!”

RIP Sal Buscema who was a big reason I fell in love with comic books. He drew some fantastic action sequences, but this moment - especially how he portrays a grieving Hulk - still wrecks me.

I’ve bought books from this dude, both on abebooks and at a book fair here in Chicago. DreamHaven Books. Check it out.

If you settle on now as the time to attack people you’ve imagined didn’t vote for Harris, you are an asshole. I know you think you aren’t, but you are. You are an asshole. Knock it off. Take up team sports where this shit isn’t offensive to do.

I don’t mock anybody for looking after their health - you do what you have to do. But I don’t agree with the lectures to ‘be kind to yourself’ & ‘not watch the video.’ If possible you do need to see what the state does in your name, with your money, to people you know & who look like you.

We have been told for nearly 30 years that America needed to tolerate mass shootings because the broad availability of guns would help us defend ourselves from an overreaching federal government. That day has come. The people who said this are supporting the federal agents. Many have joined them.

And this weekend's Polar Plunge has been cancelled.

(Not surprised.)

Too sick or will be recovering from being too sick for the polar plunge this weekend. Can't say I'm too upset since it'll be negative 10 degrees this Saturday.

Lady Yesterday by Loren D. Estleman

Don’t know if this is an edgy opinion but I think Estleman’s Amos Walker series is right up there with Chandler’s Marlowe, Browne’s Paul Pine and MacDonald’s Archer.

This was so good.
