Someday, Megatron will yell at Soundwave about surveilling the Autobots and Soundwave will say he already has the info. Then he’ll press his eject button and Rumble will pop out, dressed like Rick Astley, and sing “Never Gonna Give You Up”

Follow up: Thanos fighting Optimus Prime for the All Spark because there’s an Infinity Stone inside. Ultimately, Prime use Megatron as a gun to shoot Thanos. Somehow, this leads to Megatron (or maybe Starscream) getting all the Stones.

Someone stop me.

BaltimoreComiccon.bsky.social is upon us, and every year, they release a themed "Yearbook" to coincide with the convention. The theme is Jeff Smith's BONE, and I decided to honor not just Jeff Smith, but Charles Vess as well by doing my take on ROSE, their graphic novel prequel.

Also… Happy Valley is NOT a happy show. It’s a truly stellar show but “happy” it is not.

Anthony Ruttgaizer | Comic Book Writer @anthonyruttgaizer.bsky.social · 10h

“Happy Valley” is another excellent example of British television doing scripted drama much better than the US. Quality over quantity. Three seasons of six episodes over 9 years. An HBO or Netflix might be able to do it well but no American network, needing 13-22 episodes a year, could do this.

Hey! Look at this very cool thing! I won’t tell you what it is… YET. But I will soon.

My show, Artsy Fartsy Comic Con, is running Sunday Dec 7th at the Tranzac Club.

We should talk.

I’ve reached an age where my daydreams about what I’d do if I won the lottery are looking more and more like the plot of Brewster’s Millions. I’m in my mid 50s and have no kids. After I take care of a few people, who would I be saving for or leaving anything to?

Might as well have a few adventures.

That’s just… I mean… HOW?

If Popeye has the strength to squeeze a can of spinach so hard that the lid rips open and the spinach flies up in the air… why does he need the spinach?

He used to get his strength from large amounts of asparagus but Olive Oyl complained about made him switch for kinky bedroom reasons.

Bread not circuses.

I’m watching a video about the Buffalo Bills’ new stadium and the billion dollars of taxpayer money various levels of government have given the ultra-rich Terry Pegula to build this thing. Plus, new seat licences and higher ticket prices are going to leave many fans in the dust.

The Pope condemning global wealth inequality is the right message from the wrong person. Your literal palace is its own country, pal.

Ricardo Montalbán screaming “THIS IS CETI-ALPHA FIVE!” is the single greatest line read in the history of cinema. You either agree or you’re wrong on purpose.

Ceti Alpha VI... exploded... six months after we were left here. The shock shifted the orbit of this planet and everything was laid waste. "Admiral" Kirk... never bothered to check on our progress. It was only the fact of my genetically engineered intellect that allowed us to survive.

Spent the evening cleaning and tidying while listening to the Jays thump the Yankees on the radio.

Life ain’t too bad.

Found a slightly better spot for my living room cat cam so I can see three of the four most likely places she will be.

It’s called “good parenting”, folks!

I play this Buzzfeed game almost every day. I’m never gonna bookmark it. My friend Andy used to play it every day too and he’d always post his results. I used to go to his feed and use the link in his results and compare my time. Now that he’s gone, it’s my excuse to see his photo and say hello.

The last time Andy played Pyramid Scheme.

Gave Chloe some catnip for the first time in forever. She seems pretty mellow.

If I ever did a TikTok dance video, it would be to recreate this Rodney Dangerfield classic.
