Ooh, love MWW but I haven’t read that one. Will have to dig around among my anthologies or Project Gutenberg to see if I have a copy

Admit it—you were busy wandering your cloaked ass around a Baltimore cemetery leaving the annual gift, weren’t you?

That’s gonna be Exhibit A for the kid’s court suit for independence from said parent. Or it’s page one of why he’s in therapy before the age of 15…

She’s a pip, that one. I can hear Hansel and Gretel in her oven saying “Ja, ja, and tasty too!”

Frankfurt Book Fair 2026: Jill Lepore Urges Publishers to Declare their Independence from Big Tech

Big tech threatens reading, writing, and, by extension, the very foundations of democracy.

This is the first take I’ve seen that makes me sad I don’t have the channel to watch it. Guess I’ll have to hope it gets physical media so I can buy or rent via library

I mean, has there been any leader whose tenure was plagued by nothing but disasters (& bad plots)? Even Lightning Lad’s bad run in the 70s had some positive moments but not Tinya’s…

Great that the longest serving non-Founder got the nod. Sad how Levitz and Giffen just used her leadership tenure like a toilet brush…

A $3500 medical bill just dropped on us. We don't have that, or space on credit for that, or room in our monthly budget for a payment plan... which we set up anyway. I don't know how we'll manage. Help always welcome, but never expected. ko-fi.com/owenkcstephens www.gofundme.com/f/help-owen-...

I might have to get my LCS to order this one for me…or hint to my kids that this would be a great Yule gift

Huh. Forgot or didn’t catch that. Still early in S2 rewatch with my kids

So didn’t go with the vaguely sinister “Enjoy your next 24 hours…”?

I sold a copy of Adventures in the Unknown this week, and a sale is always cause for joy. Check out my horror pulp #TTRPG at Itch and DriveThruRPG. And if you have questions please ask.

THAT is your deepest secret? I’d have thought you being the last scion of the Steam-Powered Locomotive Man of the Prairies would have been a bigger secret honestly

Home Alone: Kevin McCallister Scream

Wondering what the effect of super soakers vs shock gloves would be. Asking for a friend…because we sadly can’t easily get them to do a Kevin face slap with them

I’m of the mind to never name a pet something it might live up to. Warned my brother when he named a mastiff Loki…but that dog was lovable and brainless. No deviousness at all. Oo Goobley is lost on me though?

I pray that someone is keeping copious detailed notes on all this crap as we will need them for the hearings and sentencings to come from all this abuse of the system

Yeah “fuckitudinous” will be going in my commonplace dictionary of words to utilize. And yes, there will be attribution to you, Maryscott, never fear.

That too as well as most of the Universal Horror classics as well.

I dunno but that coloring makes me think Roy Harper is working without a code name again and he needs Kara’s help
