You did specify US sports, but Manchester City are definitely there if you include European. PSG are getting to be a close second.

I don't know why I thought you were kidding about the commenters, but thank you for this!

Always thought that he was the same guy as "Know him? He was delicious!" fame in The Final Sacrifice, but apparently I'm wrong about that

Eh, Europeans do tend to use the country name that way for national team players. It's the rest of everything about that comic that's abhorrent.

Started watching and couldn't stop! Loved the slow-building dread over most scenes.

This is amazing and made me chuckle ruefully at the same time.

My local pharmacy that went out of business a few years ago came back and is now thriving, and our happiness levels have just skyrocketed now that we no longer have to deal with CVS.

I will say, from all the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that I've been exposed to (not an expert!), it seems like 200 CE-ish Chinese military lore was all about how many strategems your genius strategists could pull off. So this seems like a trope that's been around for a long time.

I'd never heard of this festival, but it's like we were right there with the cows on acid!

This is a ludicrously terrible idea, in ways that are easily forseen.

Upstate New York actually has lot more going for it than you'd think!

I've enjoyed it, thank you for making it available!

I own all the DVDs, which dates me a bit! Was ludicrously excited to tell all my friends about this amazing Canadian vampire cop show (less excited about the cop part now). Still one of my favorite intro songs ever.

sidewaysbob.bsky.social @sidewaysbob.bsky.social · 04/04/2026

I'm watching it for the first time and was not expecting to be seeing the intro with slack-jawed amazement thinking, "I hope this isn't what the actual show looks like...". (Also, does the Major eventually wear pants on a regular basis?)

Pre-ordered at my local bookstore and got it on Saturday, very excited!

My wife grew up having poppyseed hamentaschen and loving it, and I'd...never heard of it. Came around to her way of thinking pretty quickly, though.

I remember Gargoyles having very fun, long-running time travel plots, where they established #1 on your list (time is immutable), but the characters had a ton of agency in what they did and affected both past and present, not always realizing that they were affecting what had already happened

This was likely the most useful government service the CIA performed, and I'm incredibly disappointed that it's going away.

This is absolutely everything I've had wanted in a fan casting.

That is the stupidest goddamn thing I've heard today, and one of the reasons we're in this mess to begin with.

My impression is that children's books (particularly heavily illustrated ones) can be fairly popular in prison libraries, though IBP can probably tell you. No pressure, though!

Wallace is the best, though, and I'm still angry that his actor didn't appear in much afterwards.

Our household has a Spurs fan who did not appreciate the Kevin Danso towel erasure, but we all very much appreciate getting this subject (and the Dyche fashions) addressed!

I think we're all not thrilled to find out that those aren't inherent to the system, they can go away if there are repeated terrible voting decisions en masse.

Honestly hoping for the same thing, for the same reason.

Maybe not exactly for toddlers, but both Phoebe and Her Unicorn and Wallace the Brave are comics that are great for this dynamic.

I mean, I watched Grave of the Fireflies with a large class of college students, and the ending scene was the most large-scale shattering of souls that I've ever seen.

See, that one doesn't bother me because if I hear it, I automatically replace it in my head with the 5-second cover that Weird Al does on Polka Your Eyes Out.

Severance fanart: Tabletop Team-Building Day at Macrodata Refinement! #severance

Digital color art of characters from the TV show Severance. The four members of MDR play a DnD-like tabletop game called Tempers & Temptations. Milchick acts as DM, wearing a Lumon branded cloak and standing behind a DM screen with Kier's face on it. Dylan and Helly gesture at the table and argue about something, Irving consults a player's handbook, and Mark leans back in his chair laughing with his palm on his head.

Gravity Falls is great! My kids actually aren't much into TV, but they loved this show, and it's one of the few that I looked forward to as much as they did.

I always love your work, but the writing on this one in particular was fantastic (coming from a Liverpool fan with nothing but respect for Plymouth Argyle).

Somehow shocked that Senshi from Delicious in Dungeon didn't make it into this list.

Been seven years since I first read this, on the English language's *completely universal but totally invisible* adjective hierarchy, and I can honestly say I've thought about it most days since.

Adjectives in English absolutely have to be in this order: opinion-size-shape-colour-origin-material-purpose Noun. So you da. Have a lovely little old rectangular green French silver whittling knife. But if you mess with that word order in the slightest you'll sound like a maniac. It's an odd thing that every English speaker uses that list, but almost none of us could write it out. And since since comes before colour, green great dragons can't exist."
- Mark Forsyth, quote from The Elements of Eloquence: How to turn the Perfect English Phrase
