*an extra 25% A lot of Marvel’s and DC’s comics are produced in Ontario. That’ll conservatively add like $80 onto my addiction hobby every month. That’s almost an additional grand a year. And I’m a die hard collector. Casual collectors will just buy fewer books, or stop altogether. Which will cause ...

Some more stuff from the store closing sale last month. Alan Scott:Green Lantern 1, 2, 4-6. Almost the entire miniseries. An expanded and revised retelling of his origin, adding in his secret homosexuality in the 1930s, and a secret lover who turned out to be a Soviet double agent who got a Red Lant...

I haven’t watched Dial of Destiny since it came out. Haven’t really had the desire to rewatch it. But I noticed it’s not on D+ which I thought was weird. Anyway, I’m rewatching Raiders for like the 200th time and there’s a scene in Cairo where Belloq is talking to Indy in the cantina. He’s talking a...

My options for who to root for in the SB are dwindling. Whichever teams plays/loses to the Chiefs. If anyone farts in the general direction of Patrick Mahomes, the NFL’s designated walking logo, it is an automatic 15 yard penalty + an free extra down for the Chiefs + the Chiefs get an automatic ext...

My options for who to root for in the SB are dwindling.

I didn’t realize the president can reverse a law passed by congress and upheld by the supreme court just by scribbling shit down on some TP in the bathroom and then scrawling his signature on it. I don’t care one way or the other about TikTok. But what’s the fucking point of the Constitution anymore?

This week’s books. Amazing Spidey 65.Deaths. This is different from the regular issue 65 that came out last week. Avengers Assemble 5. Batman & Robin Year One 4. GIJoe 3. Clutch is undercover in Cobra HQ and gets a message to the Joes that Cobra is going to abduct a Dr. Monev, who is testifying ...

Welp.

Go Bills.

Whiteout. I started watching this not knowing a single thing about it, apart from the name of the movie. After it was over, I checked and saw it was based on a Greg Rucka comic. But the premise is ‘serial killer in the coldest place on Earth; the Antarctic research station at the south pole’. Which ...

I would never had made the connection that Nicepool was supposed to be that guy. He, in essence, defamed himself when he brought it to everyone’s attention. Therefore he should also sue himself for an additional *snicker* $400 Million.

Mr. Baseball Bob Uecker. Announcer for the Brewers since before I was even alive. 90. Small cell lung cancer.

I remember him from his appearances on Johnny Carson from when I was little. He might be the person I most associate with the game.

Here’s some more reading from the store closing a few weeks ago. Specifically, mostly Green Lantern books. Green Lantern 3, 4. From the ‘22 series. The Oan Power Battery has been destroyed and the only Lanterns left with working rings are Jo Mullein(from Far Sector) and the teen Lantern Keli, who co...

The best narratives to win the Superbowl for the eight remaining teams, from worst to best. 8. Philidelphia. Nobody wants to see Philly in the Superbowl, let alone win it, except people from Philly. And not even all of them. 7. Baltimore. The Ravens are like the Eagles, except in the AFC. In fact, i...

The Gentlemen . Crime drama about drug cartels in England, apparently a spinoff from the movie of the same name that I haven't seen but now plan to. Very well done, though Giancarlo Esposito plays an American meth kingpin who's so similar to Gus Fring that I expected him to be operating out of a fr...

Rewatching Andor.

That is all.
