I'm sure Corenswet's gonna do great as the new Superman, but he'll never hold a candle to the real one.

My friend @profklee.bsky.social sent me this today! Such an awesome anthology. If you're a fan of CNF, it's a must buy.

That time I went to visit the Athenaeum in Providence, RI back in 2021. Easily the coolest place I've ever been. The librarians were even kind enough to let me view some items from their special collection.

I wonder if you could make a horror anthology out of memes like these? Would that work? Or am I just reinventing comics and creepypasta?

Have I ever told you guys about my favorite chocolate milk* recipe? It goes like this: 1 part vodka 1 part Kahlua 1 part half & half *Note: there is no chocolate milk in this recipe.

Just got back from Poor Things. Easily one of the weirdest movies I've ever seen, but definitely a new fave! Stone and Ruffalo are probably shoe-ins for Best Actress and Best Supporting.

I haven't devoured a collection this quickly in years, maybe ever. I knew Machado was a real talent the moment I read her work in 2015's "Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy," but holy moly. So good and so creepy.

My favorite part of "The Batman" is, when the Riddler is finally revealed, you discover that he's actually just a twelve-year-old boy.
