And then, if you ever donate them, you’ve given some hipster high school kid a fun, ironic shirt to wear for like “The Smith Family 2nd Annual Pigeon Forge Trip” Do kids even wear thrift store tshirts anymore? I have no clue.

It was a good week for autographs. I got VFL Cedric Tillman free with purchase at the Volunteer Club store and DeSean Bishop arrived as my monthly gift.

The sweater and hair and sunglasses and general tough guy vibe of Mike Ditka should be secondary to that fact he held the NFL's rookie tight end receiving yardage record for **sixty-three** years before Brock Bowers broke it in 2024.

We'll be on scene for Friday's big Lucasfilm Publishing panel at NYCC thanks to @thereheil-deal.bsky.social. Hoping for some new series announcements (Aphra?) and expecting more 50th anniversary tie-ins, facsimile issues, looks at art from Star Wars/Marvel, Fall of Kylo Ren, Ezra and Indiana Jones.

Fuck offfffffff with this being the front page of ESPN.com the day after two classic semifinals games that DID NOT INCLUDE THE INDIANA FEVER
A picture of Caitlin Clark accompanied by the headline/subheader:

'Not every season's perfect: After another playoff disappointment, what's next for Fever?
Despite a dominant offense and Caitlin Clark's return, the Fever suffered another early playoff exit.
