Earth-2.net (Mike Sims)

The very first column I ever wrote for an online publication was a defense of Jar Jar Binks, reminding readers Star Wars is for children and they need to calm themselves. This was 2002 or 2003. Prequel-bashing was very much alive and well back then.

It's National Black Cat Day! (Why is it October 27 and not four days later, on Halloween?)

If you're going to one of these rallies at this point, you're a racist. It's just that simple.

For a decade-plus, Trump and his toadies have convinced folks they should reject the evidence of their eyes and ears. And somehow it worked. 🤷‍♀️ But you cannot gaslight people, even his most ardent followers, into rejecting their evidence of their thinner wallets.

Somewhere, Jack Kirby is smiling.

Rewatched Luke meeting The Emperor in Return of the Jedi, and I never noticed how Ian McDiarmid plays the "the deflector shield will be quite operational when your friends arrive" scene. I always took it as pure menace. And that's there. But he's being a saucy little bitch. Swag and all.

The other day I said to Shana this lawsuit is predicated on him thinking the Alaskan voters are too stupid to know the difference between the two closely named candidates. This confirms that idea. It also tells us he just learned what “incumbent” means.

Cuddle up by the fire with my Sweater Weather variant for Superman #47! 🌨️ #DCComics

Telling my kids this is the music that played in our nightmares in the 1980s #synth #80s #halloween

Tis the season for a new mini project 🪡

Going slower than I'd like, but I'm pleased with the progress. WIP #crossstitch #embroidery

Shana showed my #crossstitch projects to someone and they bought It’s Not Easy Being Wheezy!

My new favorite Star Wars character is M'a'Nboubs Wonlég who lives in space Miami.

Thomas Harris use space in Hannibal to let you know how he felt about the impeachment of President Clinton.

A little further along. WIP #crossstitch #embroidery

I'm rewatching the first season of original blend Law & Order, and, yeah, there was a reason teenage me used to watch reruns on A&E. All. The. Time.

Every time I see this clip, I always think it's Peter Davison.

I miss classic lighting like this.

Absolute Wonder Woman might possibly be the greatest comic on the market right now. And I'm only three issues in.

Why not, I don't know, invite him to the table and ask for his ideas, instead of, oh, I don't know, calling him a terrorist because of his ethnicity?

Watched Andor's "The Eye" literally on the edge of my seat.

At a point when I was real low and out of work for months, I took a temp job moving files from one end of a building to another. Clock-in was 5:00a. The facility was an hour drive away. Despite my best effort, I kept arriving late. After three days, I claimed I broke my arm the night prior and quit.

Reading The Hobbit for the first time and I’m hearing Christopher Lee as Gandalf.

Watching those clips of Katie Zacharia on Fox and, man, everyone is soooooooo telling her to resign without outright saying it. It's brutal. And, you know, a part of me wants to feel bad. But! At this point: you either know what he's about and want a piece of it, or you are absolutely stupid.

Nooo! He’s in a red shirt!

This shot changed lives.

Finally finished stage one of this sucker. WIP #crossstitch #embroidery

Was The Mummy: Bisexual Boogaloo even considered?

This is what I’ve been thinking. The Republicans know it’ll be close or a loss, so they courted Fetterman to get him to swing right from time to time, promising him he’ll be the next Joe Manchin. When, in fact, he’s just a tool.

I'm thinking some very, very, very pissed off European leaders were on the phone today with Musk. Hence, this.

There are contractors working in the bedroom right now, and every other word one of them says is “Shit.” I’m no prude when it comes to language. This is simply annoying.

Serving web? Is that a play on "serving cunt," or am I missing something here?

TFW you're minding your own business, eating a bagel sandwich at Dunk when a 19-year-old college student walks by the window wearing a faded, second-hand My Chemical Romance / The Black Parade T-shirt. And you realize an album from the mid-aughts is now officially retro.

In the story of Humpty Dumpty it is never said that he is an egg. However, it is never said that he is NOT an egg. This means that any character in ANY story could be an egg unless explicitly stated otherwise. Keep that in mind when you read a Jack Reacher novel

Oh. My. God!

What are some good Star Wars books that don’t feature the characters of the original trilogy, prequels, or sequels?

Y'all, that Trump $5000 site is just a way to collect voter data. Just don't. Not even for the LOLz.

I had no time for Miami Vice '85. Until now. Damn! Also, Austin Butler Revive is pulling some Kyle Reese vibes.

This isn’t even subtext.

Oh to heck with it, grown up Lydia for a Halloweeny spooky #cutiesaturday

This one never fails to break my heart.
