The world is chaotic evil but I spent all morning reading Superman’s triangle era on this porch. I went for a good run in the sun. Tonight I go see OWTH & Smoking Popes. Doing this all the best I can.

At a punk showing folks clips of the Pacers game because it’s way more violent there than here

Some folks that laugh at ‘dumb cults’ are seeing all this pope business & thinking ‘Catholics are totally sane’

When I was a kid there was a comic book joke that “only Bucky stays dead” and Jesus Christ just now realizing my whole childhood was a lie

Alan Moore gets it.

I started The City We Became by @nkjemisin.bsky.social and I couldn’t put it down. Their Green Lantern book Far Sector was amazing so I was excited to read more & this book does not disappoint. And as a Jersey guy I loved that Hoboken was used as a weapon early in the book.

Found a used copy of Rachel Pollack’s (rip) Doom Patrol. I’ll be sliding this right in between Morrison’s and Way’s runs.

Thunderbolts was fun. Sinners was great. The Triangle Era Superman omnibus I’m currently reading is perfect. It’s like chicken soup, familiar and comforting.

1669 days without alcohol. It’s the random day, with no emotional triggers that the cravings surprise you. But I’ll hit 1670 tomorrow. And that’s good enough for today.

This hotel has NBA TV, so I’m watching the Magic game on the big screen but listening to David & Jeff through my tablet.

I got soul

I’d sell my soul for the Magic to have a good 3rd quarter

R.I.P. David Thomas of Pere Ubu . Really some of the best concerts I saw in the 70’s . Mind blowing in fact. Absolutely unique individual. Here’s one of my all time fave songs youtu.be/Leax63ullPE?...

What did Mose say during that time our? Say it more Mose, say it more.

I was right about Cole

I’m in Atlanta. I should have went to a sports bar for this.

Franz coming back in, Mose better keep Paolo or Franz on the court at all times

If I told you y’all how good I think AB will be in his prime you’d never believe another take of mine again

I don’t think Shaq has ever just turned on a game of basketball to watch other people play. But I promise you he watches his old highlight reals on the regular.

I’m at a Bear Vs Shark show. I bought a Bear Vs Shark shirt. It’s 2025 & we are here to celebrate an album that came out 20 years ago. I’m excited. I’m also old.

The Magic are beating down the Springfield Green Men

Paolo Napoleon Banchero is good at basketball

I’m heading to Florida to finally ride Velocicoaster this weekend (hopefully) and I am pumped.

I don't think you can overstate what a spectacular mistake it was by ESPN to allow itself to be defined by Stephen A. They're giving him a gargantuan amount of money and attention just to produce the lamest, most tedious, most desperate tripe - and all it's done is bore like 97% of sports fans.

I THINK PAOLO IS GOOD

Sadly, I don’t even think Dwight’s high. I think he a just like this.

Let’s go. I might be old but I’m not dead.

Entering Sunday, the Cavaliers were 48-0 in games they led after the third quarter this season. The #Magic trailed 83-82 after three quarters before Orlando outscored Cleveland 26-20 in the fourth.

LETS GO MAGIC

That’s a big boy Orlando Magic road win. 32-37. End the road trip 3-2. First true national TV regular season win in forever it seems. Doesn’t get much bigger than a 1 pm ABC Sunday showdown against a Cavs team that beat us by 40 at home last meeting. Cleveland’s 16-game win streak is dead.

Shock the world

I thought, despite the wind, I was going to hit my PR for the year. I just narrowly missed. But I’ll take this.

Good morning! Porch reading season has begun. Let’s goooooo!

Who needs guards anyway

Getting the whole ‘we’re going to x ray you a bunch & do ultra sounds all over you until we figure out what’s wrong’ treatment today & this old dude is nervous.

Franz & his blood have attracted a lot of new fans. #nba #nbasky #orlandomagic

P5 is dropping 40 tonight. 50 if Mo keeps stepping out on him.

@olddude.bsky.social I thought you would enjoy this

The constant ‘it so shocking that Dracula sucks blood!’ takes wear me the hell out.

Found 3 used goodies today.

Sengün goes full Luka on the refs huh

If you’re a Bears fan who is following me back, I swear during the season you’ll get you share of 🐻⬇️ & FTP from me. Until then it’s mostly Orlando Magic & Comic books…

I like bands that line Teenage Fanclub but I myself do not feel the need to line Teenage Fanclub

When Houstan & Harris are in the game at the same time with Paolo, I just feel bad for P.
