I basically use social media talk about comicbooks I enjoy, and sometimes wrestling, but mostly just comics.

I can confidently say that I'm a Legion of Superheroes fan, and while I loved the reveal that the Time Trapper was Superboy Prime back in the Legion of 3 Worlds, I'm not so crazy about that being retconned into Doomsday.

What absolutely disgusting behavior from a formerly venerable newspaper.

I can't say for sure why Marvel Rivals numbers are dwindling, but I know why I have less interest in playing: I hate playing against Scarlet Witch and I am sick of being a tank on 3 dps teams. #MarvelRivals

#wwe2k25 not dropping promised DLC characters is pretty disrespectful to its customer base. I get the season pass every year and while I'm not super excited about celebrities, I did pay for it. We're owed something as an apology, or a refund @wwegames2k.bsky.social

The fact the Trump administration doesn't understand what the Library of Congress is for doesn't surprise me in the slightest.

When I was a boy, probably around 11 or 12 in the mid 90's, Sabu showed up on Monday Night Raw and jumped off the letter R on the old Raw set. After that I was obsessed with seeing him wherever I could. When YouTube came I used it for two things: Doctor Who episodes and Sabu matches.

I briefly bumped into Tom Taylor and Tom King discourse on tiktok and just... It's so exhausting.

Space Cabbie is my favorite weird insignificant DC character.

This is just a gorgeous page. From Superman (2023) 11, January 2024

Full disclosure: Jimmy Olsen is one of my favorite DC characters ever.

Superman comics are really good these days, but I do hate that Lex Luthor comes from Smallville. I miss when Lex was always from Metropolis, and so this outsider Superman being the hero of Metropolis instead of this rags to riches hometown boy was another reason for Lex to resent him.

An Elder Scrolls game set during the Imperial/Thalmor War would be incredible.

My dedication to making the Hero of Kvatch look as inconspicuous and non-heroic as possible in Oblivion is unwavering.

Operation: Zero Tolerance is on my opinion the worst X-Men story ever told.

I'm sure its going to be a well-done book, but I don't want to watch The Silver Surfer die, so I'm going to pass on Death of the Silver Surfer.

Given the cultural stigma against their profession, it wild that its lawyers who are single handedly saving this country from facism.

The next step in a strategist strike in #MarvelRivals is for the remaining strategists to refuse to heal Spider-Man and other dive DPS mains.

You think that the X-Men ever look at Vision and think "That's a sentinel."

Hard to be a wrestling fan when you know Roman Reigns voted for people to be disappeared and put in an El Salvadorian concentration camp. #wrestlemania

The President of the United States is refusing to follow an order from the Supreme Court. Regardless of the many details attached to the case, or even the state of the judiciary branch, that very fact alone is an absolute emergency.

Marvel Rivals season 2 plot is basically Sins of Sinister but with Ultron. Ultron -who was conspicuous in his absence in the whole mutant vs AI struggle that HoX/PoX presented- makes a good substitute.

The Krakoan era of X-Men felt like 5 years of summer camp. I made so many friends through our mutual love of these stories, and when the era ended we all drifted away. Summer was over, school was starting soon and we all went back to our regular lives, but today I got to walk through Krakoa again

I wasn't prepared for the emotional response of seeing Krakoa again and being able to walk through it again. I miss this era so much, and it felt like coming home again. Thank you so much for this #MarvelRivals you really made a sad old comic fan truly happy today. #Krakoa

I was defending her from a friend's claim that she was "funded by arms manufacturers," so I pulled up OpenSecrets, and lo and behold, there was Lockheed Martin at the bottom of the list. AOC's voting history doesn't align with a notorious arms manufacturer, though, so that's good.

I know she'll never see this, and probably would never respond if she did, but I was disheartened to see that @aoc.bsky.social 's campaign accepted $3,771 in campaign contributions from arms manufacturer Lockheed Martin. Its not a lot, but it is literal blood money.

Lost my job at the end of October, fell into a pretty deep depression, had to give up my gym membership and gained 20 pounds. Here's me trying to rebuild.

These tariffs are to pay for tax cuts for the rich.

Watching Marvel Rivals players discover Emma Frost's Bacchalo Titty Top outfit is sending me.

I hate April 1st.

Woo! Diamond 1! I have 10 more days to reach Grandmaster before the season ends.

"What do we do about Richards?" "Just glue that nerd to a door or something." From Fantastic Four (1961) 41, Aug. 1965

Update: I have heard her now referring to him as The Titty Goblin.

My wife dies not 100% enjoy that I refer to our newborn son as "The Titty Goblin."

Hit Diamond rank for the first time ever in Marvel Rivals. I mostly played as The Thing.

Wow, early 90's Spectre comics go hard. From Spectre (1992) no. 1, Oct. 1992

More created wrestlers in WWE2K25. "The Goated One" Aaron Capone.

Been making wrestlers in WWE2k25 in my free time. Since intergender wrestling is a possibility in this year's game I started making women wrestlers for my fictional wrestling company that wrestles out of a converted barn. This is The Queen of the Road Dallas Danger.

I took maybe a 6 or 7 month pause on my big Legion of Superheroes read. These books are very text heavy, and by 5 years into the 5 Years Later timeline the book has lost a bit of its edge, but it still takes big creative swings like scrambling the ages of the team and giving them new identities.

Free Mahmoud Khalil. It's important to protect speech, even, perhaps especially, when we don't agree what's being said. If we don't support other people's First Amendment rights, then who will protect ours? We have to all be in this together.

Silver Age Daredevil stays strapped. From Fantastic Four (1961) 40, July 1965
