Let it be known that I greatly appreciate @christosgage.bsky.social’s glorious resurrection of my guy Wilbur Day, aka Stilt-Man, aka Stilty, aka the 🐐.
No one appreciates me enough for making sure the original Stilt-Man, Wilbur Day, was resurrected and stayed that way. But it's cool. I don't do it for recognition. Some things you do because it's just the right thing.

Game recognizes game when it comes to Sharon Stone and the development of The Quick and The Dead, I guess. She knew what was up.

This movie is, through what I have to imagine was zero intent by Sam Raimi, approximately 59% anime.

We’re so back (to watching a Sam Raimi movie with a loaded cast for the first time in probably 20 years).

It's very funny he just got that (especially on a goaltend).

Yeah, he didn't get a bucket against Atlanta or Chicago, and he only scored at all in either because he had free throws in the final minute against the Bulls.
I'm amazed that teams are covering him at all at this point, but he's certainly drawing every team's weakest defender.

There's a very morbid part of me that wants to see if Furph can go three straight games without a field goal despite starting. It's quite the streak.

ICE's occupation in Minneapolis has affected everyone that lives there, and today on SKTCHD, I wrote about what it's like for comic creators in the area, and how they're using their art to tell the story of the city from their perspectives.

Liam was taken from Columbia Heights, the town just south of my high school in Fridley and just north of the Arts district in NE Minneapolis. I spent a lot of time with friends there after extracurriculars. News of his abduction completely broke my heart. I’m glad he’s home. #Comics4Liam
