I can't believe it took five whole issues of Police Comics for Quality Comics to go, "Hmm. What if Firebrand isn't the breakout character we think he is? Should we put Plastic Man on the cover instead?"

A news podcast I like has started dropping "bonus episodes" from other network shows in their feed. Not once in a while, but every damn day. Very annoying. I'm sure the plan is to boost numbers by doubling downloads, but all it's done is convince me to turn off automatic downloads for the show.

Dear Pittsburgh Transit: "All Red Line trains are running on the Blue Line" is a funny way of saying "The Red Line is not in service."

For my New Year's Resolution I decided to read fewer books at a slower pace, so I would engage with them more. Which is how, at the beginning of April I find myself reading... let me check... yes, five books simultaneously. Oy.

Online stores, this bears repeating yet again. No one cares that you printed up a shipping label and put our package on the loading dock. We only care when it actually leaves your warehouse.

Another I-can't-believe-we're-even-debating-this moment. "The 'mandate of the electorate' permits us to brazenly violate the Constitution" would be a dangerously stupid argument from the Reagan administration after he won by 18 points in 1984 (and they wouldn't have made it). Trump won by 1.5.

The MLPL hosts a Good Place Philosophy Book Club, and @dorothycyborg.bsky.social and I got in the habit of bringing in themed snacks to other book clubs, so I give you this abomination...

Whenever a comedian does a special about how great their spouse is, there is a 99% chance their next special will be about their acrimonious divorce.

If you can negotiate without one of the key parties coming to the table, boy do I have some bad news for all my creditors.

The Washington Post refused to run this ad. Sure would be a shame if it went viral.

I am not sure having one of the last surviving Beatles play "Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End" is a good way to end an anniversary show unless you are planning to call it quits...

Finally getting around to watching Borderlands and good god is it bad. Like, bad enough to make me go, "Hmm, maybe I should pause this and go back to doing my taxes." They nailed the look in some ways, but completely botched the tone and wasted every actor.

This is a tale of two Valentines. First, here is what I got my lovely wife #7 @dorothycyborg.bsky.social ... Because I put one in last year's Advent calendar, and she offhandedly mentioned that she "wanted a whole bunch." (She loved it.)

One other thing they have in common is that they're in the public domain, and therefore no company can have exclusive "landmark rights" to them whatever the hell those are. Even if they are in AR/VR.

Is Archie still doing dumb horror comics with their characters? Because if so I have a hot pitch for COSMO THE MURDER-Y MARTIAN.

Watching a Sonja Henie movie and wondering why we don't have more skating movies and aquamusicals. We didn't have to let those genres die out! But we did, because we have no room for such silliness in the modern soul.

UFO cultist George Hunt WIlliamson's "Other Tongues, Other Flesh" has a picto-dictionary of Solex-Mal, the universal language. The glyphs are fascinating and baffling. Here is the symbol of creation, an eye in a twelve-petaled flower in a four-pointed star. Just don't count the number of petals.
