Billy Parker's basement would have been one of my "secret spots" for comics shopping. I've been buying stuff from him at shows for years.

I love the the time of year when you can spend the whole day organizing in the attic without freezing or melting.

Gov. Janet Mills didn’t hold back Monday. “Even a fifth grade civics student” knows the president can’t create laws through social media posts or executive orders, Mills said. “He’s not allowed to do that.”

My main computer is in the shop. While I wait for it, I pulled the old one out of the attic after two years. I had to replace the Twitter, Mastadon, and Post.news links off the bookmarks bar in my browser and replace them with BlueSky and Reddit. Welcome to 2025.

My primary home computer is in the shop for repair, so I dug out the one I replaced it with from two years ago. After updating for a day, I had to replace the Post.news, Twitter and Mastadon links in the Chrome bookmarks bar. A small trip back in time.

Seventeen days until the clocks change back. 24 days until the first F1 race of the season. 44 days until the Little Giant Comic Book Show in New Hampshire. The future looks bright.

Overnight at @pressherald.bsky.social we saw the biggest single-day jump in BlueSky followers since right after the election. I'm not sure why? more Twitter refugees?

Watching the conclusion of the new Star War, Skeleton Crew, I had an echo of the feeling I had at the end of the original Star War when I watched in '77. Recommended.

The Beat’s 50 Best Comics of 2024 This year's Best Comics of 2024 list contains a staggering 50 titles, making it the largest year-end comics list that we here at The Beat have published since all the way back in 2020. This perhaps speaks to how strong a year 2024 was for new comics and graphic…

I'm super-happy for my friend, Rick Parker, to see his book on the @comicsbeat.bsky.social 50 Best Comics of 2024. Well deserved. It's an extraordinary work.

I'll be honest, the comicbookroundup.com score makes me far more interested in a 9.0 book than a CGC Grade.

Something I made. Occasionally, when I need a voice-over, all those years on the radio come in useful.

I find myself wondering these days if BlueSky's surge is an acceleration of the development of partisan media bubbles, or a community immune response.
