"Executive Time" fell out of the coverage of Donald Trump in the most incredible way. Nobody writing about his quest to become president again ever mentions the fact that he hated the job when he had it and he couldn't and wouldn't really do it!

It’s not even dark yet. Listening to all the illegal fireworks and thinking about how glad I am I that I spent that time cleaning up the dry brush behind the house. I hope it doesn’t get windy later.

As an American, telling my own government to fuck off without repercussions is one of them. We’ll see how that goes after January ‘25.

The Classic X-Men backup where Jean is getting ready for this date is some great character work by Claremont & Bolton.

That too. And as much as I loved the Krakoa era, there were a LOT of extraneous books.

Also, $4 or $5 apiece times 3-9 books? That’s a huge bite out of anyone’s comics budget.

Dilution is my biggest concern. 3 main titles plus the 2nd-tier books & the miniseries? Plus Storm being moved out? It’s too many books & there’s nowhere to see *the* X-Men interacting, which was the strength of the Claremont Run. Simone’s lineup is the closest but each one feels missing something.

After doing a little math I figured I got this guy for 74 cents. Totally psyched but also aware that my comic bargains have peaked with this guy and it will most likely never happen again. #comics #captainamerica

What time today is Biden appointing four more justices to the Supreme Court? They gave him the power to dilute theirs and he absolutely should do it.

Happy Canada Day, Canada from the place where Canada is west of the USA and not north. I love everything about my neighbors, from poutine to hydro to milk in a bag to Chalet sauce, except for Leafs fans. Fuck them. Cheers to another 150 years.

I have it and it’s gorgeous and SO dumb. I would give Bianchi a ba-jillion dollars to paint the story where Ogun first trains Logan. Or when Mac Hudson & Logan become friends.

Wolverine volume 3(? Maybe?) number 50 where Loeb absolutely WASTES Simone Bianchi on that nonsense where Logan is a wolf person is unforgivable.

Bought a box of random Captain Americas off of Facebook on a tip from @mstrauss.bsky.social. $20 dollars for 20 comics. Scored a Ron Garney signed book as well as a semi-rough copy of 108 but hit gold with a pristine copy of Cap 109. #captainamerica

In ‘22 I traded ASM 301-325 (both 301 & 316 were CGC 7.0, rest raw VF-NM) for $300 of Silver Age Uncanny X-Men, issues 19, 21, 27, 29, & 41. YMMV. (298, 299, & 300 I sold ages ago as a poor college kid.)

Chain popped off once, but I pulled out the socket set and got it back together. Trees are in a pile in front of my garage now. Still need to trim off all the branches and cut trunks into firewood sized pieces. But that’s a tomorrow problem.

Following SCOTUS’ guidance, I’ve used my new immunity - and a chainsaw borrowed from @jeredolan2.bsky.social - to officially go into my neighbor’s back yard and cut down all these fucking trees that were growing between our garages.
(He’s an absentee landlord & the property is vacant).

Qualified immunity is bad for cops and it’s worse for presidents. If anyone gets that type of power by being elected by a minority of the people, then we should stop electing presidents. No one should be above the law, especially those who wield the law.

Hahahahaha. Yeah, that would suck. I’m mostly a blank jersey guy for hockey, for that reason (my non-blanks are Satan & Gaustad). Last year I bought Hyde & Milano jerseys. Which were delivered the same week Milano broke his leg and now Hyde is gone. So I feel you.

I’m still excited for the new season. And yes that’s mostly Lindy nostalgia but I also think Tuchy will be our new captain and it going to run through walls for Lindy.

Agreed on all points. Krueger set us back further than the tank did though. Those years before Granato were just wasted.

If Quinn & Peterka are both healthy (big if) then you’re paying $9M for a third line winger. They have the cap space so why not keep him? But I can understand in a vacuum the decision. Granato is a good development coach but they weren’t making the leap with him.

Still need vol 4 & 5 to connect 3 to the Miller run. But every step is closer to the full series in omnibus format.
