First of all, I'm back doing comics journalism in a big way. I have recently taken over editing The Fanatic, @publisherswkly.bsky.social's twice-monthly newsletter about all things comics! The latest edition goes out at 3:30pm ET today, you can sign up here: www.publishersweekly.com/pw/email-sub...

From now on, I want you to put an equal amount of blueberries in each muffin.

This whole country is gonna have blue balls forever that there was never an Obama vs. Trump election even though it‘s all that most people on both sides ever wanted

Ok everyone stop the presses who cares whatever bullshit you're on about GIRLS IS COMING BACK!!!

We also gotta get out of the panopticon mindset and start reading and dancing to music again and stop video-ing each other doing anything slightly weird and taking pictures of strangers on the subway like volunteer cops. Documenting an uninteresting life nonstop instead of living interesting life.

This was an awesome moment at the Harvey Awards tonight. Was proud to stand up for an actual legend

The thing you have to account for with stories like this is that the people who are loudest about needing more money for TV ads are the consultants who do media placement and therefore get rich when there's more money for TV ads. www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

Cackled at new Marvel EiC Stephen Wacker calling out @comixace.bsky.social during his talk at NYCC Retailers Day today: “I want Heidi to be confused by Marvel!”

Here’s some @newyorkcomiccon.bsky.social con news - I’m writing an exploration and analysis of my favorite comics ever, Chris Claremont’s epic run(s) on X-Men! Coming next May from @bloomsburybooksus.bsky.social and @marvelcomicshqs.bsky.social! Pre-order: www.bloomsbury.com/us/uncanny-x...

Lanterns nitpick: I just feel like this show could’ve really used an opening credits sequence

The worst part of Bonta caving on the Paramount merger is that it's a big flashing signal to every other company that there is no antitrust enforcement in America and you can bully your way into getting whatever you want. It's a monumentally bad decision.

Trouble at the charity gala

Ed Sheeran alone with his loop pedal playing to an empty stadium with Robert Kraft in the rafters doing the citizen kane clap

One thing I wonder: Are politicians bamboozled by AI doomsaying because they haven’t read enough sci-fi (so they don’t recognize that many of these “apocalyptic“ predictions are just recycled Harlan Ellison/Philip K Dick plots) or because they read too much (and are filling in the blanks)?

It’s actually crazy that the Oscars don’t do this anymore. One of the best moments in Oscars history is Denzel winning his and holding it up to Sidney Poitier in the crowd, who had just won a lifetime achievement one — impossible scenario now

Way more than labels like “leftist” or “centrist,” or even age, the real divide in the Democratic Party is between a select few politicians who think we should do ANYTHING at all, and the majority who want to continue doing absolutely nothing

Great timing to see this clip from the GOAT concert film on our way to see the new Oasis one! “Slippery People” is my fav Stop Making Sense track, Lynn Mabry and Ednah Holt’s backing vocals make the live version so much better than the original that this is a must-include on all my party playlists

All the AI doomsday nonsense is clearly just marketing, relying on people to fill in the blanks with decades of apocalyptic sci-fi pop culture

Throwing this out there: this year is the 20th anniversary of New York Comic Con. Who from comics BlueSky remembers the first #NYCC 20 years ago?

“AI is for the bosses.” Good thread analyzing recent data about workers hating AI while management loves it

Democratic Party leaders believe Adam Silver and Roger Goodell have more right to govern than they do. Hakeem Jeffries would probably tell you this if asked, he doesn’t see it as a problem

RIP Gloria Steinem who among her many accomplishments, recast Wonder Woman as a second-wave feminist icon on the first cover of Ms. Magazine

Space operas and doomed lovers in space have been occupying my brain
