One could argue for Star Wars: Visions as the best post-Disney acquisition work next to Andor. So, suffice to say, I am excited about a 3rd season.

I made the mistake of making myself spicy ramen for lunch today. I kinda wanted to die for a bit there.

Justifiably happy about the surprise guest on this week’s Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast.

Now, did I expect to spend my Sunday evening just chatting about the world for three hours with my mother? No, no I didn’t. But if yours is a situation where you can, and you’d want to, I recommend it. Sounds like middle aged person advise, but, still, recommend it.

Gimme that Bigfoot emoji, ASAP.

Do you think the team at Last Week Tonight with John Oliver is cursing the fact that The Onion got InfoWars before they could?

Dope, Mythic Quest is back (finally!) in January.

Not a hoax! Not a what if! Not an imaginary story! The Onion has acquired Infowars. A suitable fate for a miserable joke of a site.

OK, two issues in, I can say confidently that Absolute Batman is some VERY ridiculous comics and it’s all the better for it.

Amazon sez: “You want your low-priced crap in bulk? We’ll give you low-priced crap in bulk!” What a waste.

OH SNAP, CRUNCH TATORS ARE BACK. (Judge if you want, but after last week, I need to embrace small joys like this.)

Oh man, I had no idea James Acaster had filmed a new special, let alone that it was going to be on Max next week. Sweet deal.

For those who may be following me on all the new social sites: You should expect pretty much the same content on each, so if you don’t want to follow me on one, that’s totally A-OK! Threads will get the least, as micro.blog doesn’t cross-post there automatically. Yet.

Fuck.

I appreciate that this is a good use of Live Activities on iOS, but GOOD LORD I COULD NOT WANT ANYTHING LESS THAN LIVE, ONGOING ELECTION NUMBERS STARING ME IN THE FACE EVERY TIME I LOOK AT MY PHONE

OK, just…like, 48 hours until we’re past all this, right?

I’ve never found a bandwagon I didn’t enjoy jumping on, so, what the hell, I’m in for this #WeblogPoMo AMA (Ask Me Anything) gimmick. Fire some questions away, gang.

One of my side-gigs is that I produce, and co-host a live art competition event called Super Art Fight.

We just completed and posted a new explainer video for our event. I did the VO for the video, too. Check us out!

Nintendo releasing their music library over time in their own dedicated app – which you need a Switch Online subscription for – is the most Nintendo-assed thing.

Heidi McDonald, The Beat:

Marvel is going big on a smaller size – tonight ahead of NYCC they announced the launch of the MARVEL PREMIER COLLECTION, a reader-friendly sized line of reprints of Marvel’s greatest hits.

Like DC’s Compact Comics – which have been a smash hit with retailers and readers – the Premier Collection will be in the 6"x9" format.

… The Premier Collection will launch in February 2025, with stories featuring Daredevil, Black Panther, Captain America, and Fantastic Four.

I had a hunch that the blow away success of the Compact Comics line from DC would lead to this. That said, the initial grouping is somewhat surprising – no X-Men? No Spider-Man, Peter or Miles? Odd.

That said, I now have an easy direction to send people in when they ask me where to start with comics.

Analogue has revealed their N64 device, the Analogue 3D. Looks very, very slick. In a perfect world, with an unlimited budget, I’d have all their systems with their respective flash cartridges and just live in the nostalgia.

The color Kindle is FINALLY a thing. Unfortunately, it looks like this is an early leak, so not sure how it’d handle things like say…comic books… Fingers crossed it’s good!

EDIT: It’s up now! $280. I’m gonna need hands-on impressions with comics, for sure.

Very excited to read The Verge’s 2004 Week this week.

Never thought that Disney+ would become streaming’s #1 source for Beatles content. Now there’s ANOTHER doc coming.

Absolute Batman #1 was absolutely ridiculous. But in that way that comics can be absurd yet completely engaging. Here’s hoping the whole run works that way.
