Arrived in rainy London early Saturday for @relativity.com’s EMEA conference. Stopped by Leadenhall Market, seen in Harry Potter films, to find Pushkin Press’s UK-exclusive #ChooseYourOwnAdventure rereleases. 6 titles, new artwork, bold color palettes. Got 2, still hunting! #Gamebooks #CYOA

#WheelsUp! Next stop: #RelativityFestLondon 🇬🇧

🏈 The 67th #CFL season kicks off today! 🇨🇦 I have many niche interests, but the league’s 9 teams always bring a smile. Given global tensions, I like how the league, already rooted in cultural nationalism, has leaned further into showcasing national pride and history... as they should! Go Riders! 💚

I hear that the boat tours are “immersive”. Reworking an old design

🚰🎹 What other comic featured a thrilling “piano in the sewer” storyline? #Peanuts: October 8, 1974 #CharlieBrown #Schroeder #Snoopy

If only a major streamer had *all* of M*A*S*H. If only Disney+/Hulu leadership had a shred of TV instinct instead of treating classics like algorithm fodder. But nope, MeTV is running a Loretta Swit marathon while the rights holders just stare blankly. Way to read the room, geniuses.

Pope Chicago tees are going out! Thanks to everyone for their orders and patience!

New #SleepBaseball expansion team! Those teams on the east side of Lake Michigan will have quite the drive to play the new Lake City Loons.

"Hot Lips" 👄😢

I died every time. #chooseyourownadventure #books #booksky

First time on an outdoor ride since I herniated a disc in my back in March. PT has made a big difference. Feeling pretty good! 🚲 Hmm. Maybe #ScenicShore150 is doable again? 😃 #Cycling #Chicago #NorthBranchTrail #MemorialDay

Just in case it’s 1980 and you’re on the fence about grabbing McDonald’s for breakfast, here’s a free BIC RAZOR!

Totally forgot about this 1999 VHS release, which tried to merge #IndianaJones films & Young Indy into a chronological set—hence Raiders being Chapter 24, renamed for consistency. We had a few, but only today did I learn the full run was never released! indianajones.fandom.com/wiki/The_Com...

Wait, did the Goosebumps guy write knock off Choose Your Own Adventure books? Must be as coincidence of names. *Checks Wikipedia* No, that was him, and he did a bunch of them.

New #Peanuts special coming to Apple TV+ on July 18. #CharlieBrown #Snoopy

To say I would be shocked by this behavior in my hometown, but unfortunately I would be lying. #Chicago

🙄📱 I often feel like Lucy when attempting to get my kids’ attention when they are using their iPads. #Peanuts: June 21, 1957 #CharlieBrown #Snoopy

Timely Comics (later to become Marvel Comics and eventually Sheinhart Wigs) applied for trademark protection for the name Marvel on May 23, 1941.

Pretty sure I’ve been *living* in a CYOA since January.

he View-Master was invented in Oregon and first debuted at the 1939 New York World’s Fair, thanks to Sawyer’s Photo Services in Portland. Originally meant for viewing scenic travel images in 3D, the clunky red device eventually became a beloved kids’ toy. #quickfacts #drawnbyhuman

We anticipate that Gov. Pritzker will sign the bill, bringing Illinois up to date with how the Vehicle Code defines a bicycle. One positive is that three wheeled bikes are now included. Congratulations to all of you trike riders out there!

I guess @pewresearch.org helps explain this odd installment…

From the glorious LEGOLAND era of just 3 themes: Town, Space, and Castle. (But #LEGO Space was always the best! 🚀)

Just got edits back for Dungeon Crawl at the Haunted Mall, my @chooseadventure.bsky.social book out April 2026! I’m excited to dig in and make this book perfect. You won't believe the diabolical things in store for these kids. Warlocks & poltergeists don’t mess around! 80s vibes, but make it chaos!

I specialize in Chicago niche.

Check out this awesome interview we did on Geek To Me Radio this past weekend! Bonus, John Rhys-Davies was featured in the same episode. geektomeradio.com/podcast/454-...

Well, as a long-time Pocket user, this doesn't make me happy.

Translated, old-school #ChooseYourOwnAdventure! ‘Escape,' originally #CYOA #20 by co-creator R.A. Montgomery, became #13 in Spain. Original series spanned 185 books; this translated set ~50%, totaling 90 #gamebooks. Book & sequel returned when @chooseadventure.bsky.social revived series in 2005.
