My wife saw Verity and has spent the weekend explaining to young people that Josh Hartnett was the No. 1 box office draw from 1999 to 2000.

Check out BotA's Patreon if you want in early on what surely will be a red episode. (Remember? Like when they had red issues during Krakoa? God, it feels so long ago now.)

In a week rife with interesting X-Men stuff, my pick is Uncanny X-Men #36, the end of the "Wild Ride" story as well as me and @adamreck.bsky.social's coverage of the book (review forthcoming)!

#xspoilers Lots of fun X-stuff today. DNX continues to be action-packed with killer art from Vincentini. (North's FF adds a fun wrinkle to the story) Alien v X-Men is a ton of fun and the Claremont backup is bonkers. Our UXM review will be out later today, let's just say I like this Repent fella.

I mained Zangief on SFIV. As a skill-less button masher on II, I was Blanka and E Honda all the way.

what your SFII main said about you... Ken or Ryu: shrewd, but BORE-ING Guile or Chun-Li: incredible tastes, fascinating person Blanka: live in the moment, no plan for when the electricity stops E-Honda: winning is less important than style Dhalsim: chess player in a world of checkers Zangief: N/A

The thing about the later seasons of Community is S4 isn’t as bad as people think, S5 is secretly the 2nd best season (after 3) and S6 is different, smaller, sadder but Keith David is a revelation.

One of Taylor’s new tracks is called “Cleveland!” and it’s about all those times on Family Guy when the Griffins knocked out the front of Cleveland’s house while he was in the bathtub. Oddly enough, there’s a 10-minute version.

My son’s best friend is an IRL teenage version of Matt Damon’s character in that Weezer SNL sketch so I’m afraid the correct answer is none of them that album is cursed.

My guy @adamreck.bsky.social pays tribute to the artist Joshua Cassara, who tragically passed away this week, far too young. I was lucky enough to meet Josh when Adam got his Green Lagoon print signed, and he was very kind & generous on top of all his talent.
