Pro Tip: Get the current administration to start a war with you, then hold them to a stalemate as a valuable commodity rises and they fold, then they pay you hundreds of billions of dollars. Sorted.

I’ve committed to attend HeroesCon this weekend, but it’s a madhouse of sports for me, the Barcelona GP, Thunder Valley motocross race, the World Cup, and as a long-time New Yorker, the Knicks are in the NBA Finals! You’ll most likely find me at Dexter Vines’ table watching cars go round and round.

I love a gravel driveway, but every one has a spot or two that no amount of added stone or compacting will level out. Ever.

NORWEGIAN WOOD Haruki Murakami Murakami captures the timeless certainty and insecurity of youth caught in transition to adulthood in this heartbreaking but oddly reassuring novel of isolated realism. #bookshelf26 #booksky

ESCAPO Paul Pope Pope’s experimental humanist and expressionist narrative which tests themes of self-worth through a dark, familial, circus world. It's a joy to see the artist test and search for his voice throughout the book. #bookshelf26 #booksky

A SMALL TOWN IN GERMANY John le Carré A sleight shift in le Carré’s run of books with little connective [character] tissue to the previous offerings. While the characters posed a narrative challenge, it’s a prescient book for today’s geopolitics. #bookshelf26 #booksky

PLAYTIME Aron Wiesenfeld While not replete with words, Aron’s elaborate Post-it note drawings is packed full of that lonely and liminal adolescent period where little fits. While subjectively playful, a darkness of loss and the unknown prevails. Brilliant stuff. #bookshelf26 #booksky

QUIT YOUR JOB James Kochalka This was a gift from a student two or three lifetimes ago. James captures that free and magical period in twenty-something, smallish town, life, and blends it with a late ‘90s GenX ethos. Miss those days. #bookshelf26 #booksky

OUT OF SIGHT Elmore Leonard What a book. As a huge fan of the film, this book is a page-after-page treat. Every character is fleshed out and the story has so many [stylish] moving pieces. Elmore at his crimey best. #bookshelf26

THE PAPER PEOPLE Alain Dodier & Pierre Makyo Book two in this French detective novel series, and already the mystery has improved. The artwork is lively and inventive. Finding the rest of these in English may be a pipe dream, so I may have to settle with the brilliant storytelling. #bookshelf26

DUBLINERS James Joyce What a collection of glorious prose packed full of relations, relationships, class difference, and life in turn-of-the-century Dublin. The blend of humor and sadness rarely lets one beat the other out. A primer in self-effacing characters. #bookshelf26

TRUE GRIT Charles Portis Rarely have I seen two [great] film versions of the same book before I’ve read it. That didn’t stop Portis’ words from painting a vivid picture with Haliee Steinfeld and John Wayne playing the roles. Far from perfect, but a winning story, and great dialog. #bookshelf26

THE SHADOW KILLER Alain Dodier & Pierre Makyo The first in the series of Jérôme K Jérôme Bloche detective graphic novels, well suggested by a friend. Beautiful characterization in both story and drawing—masterful drawing. Though, I did spot the killer. Can’t wait to read on! #bookshelf26

Tickets secured for @wolfvanhalen.bsky.social’s show here in Asheville, at the Orange Peel. I’m a big fan of this guy‘s work. Watching his pop’s concerts in the ‘80s are some of my greatest memories. Can’t wait.

The IG suggestions and ads are WAY out of hand, so I've begun a three-day war on my timeline. I get they need to pay salaries, so some ads are fine, but the suggestions have buried posts of people I know and have followed for over a decade. If my efforts change nothing, I'll walk away.

ABSOLUTE MARTIAN MANHUNTER Deniz Camp & Javier Rodríguez A psychedelic cop noir, set in a city out of time, that reframes the otherworldly hero in a new on-going series. DC has unleashed Camp and Rodríguez and this feels like a classic in the making. #bookshelf26

THE UNCOOL Cameron Crowe The convergence of music and sentiment gets me every time. From Rolling Stone interviews, to the ‘80s teenage condition, to exploring love, life, and death in his later works—it’s all here in his autobiographic love-letter to his family—genetic or otherwise. #bookshelf26

ERIC Terry Pratchett Structurally different than the previous novels in the series. Told in short chapters that hop from character to character. This novella-length is rollicking romp through time and the underworld of the Discworld. Always fun when Pratchett plays with things. #bookshelf26

I mentioned my love of Magnum PI earlier, but I've finally dipped into McCartney 3, 2, 1, and this taps into the root of my first rock music roots that make my life better every time I listen. Rubin may be a bit out there but he was the perfect guy to do this. Pure magic.

I’m a fanatic for Magnum PI (original recipe), which makes Quigley Down Under a personal favorite in the Western genre. One stand-out element is the period costuming, it lends a ‘50 Panavison feel to a modern film.
