Forgot to post my Day 1 yesterday. Brain isn't wrapped around December yet. This year I picked a bitty pop! Advent Calendar. Yesterday was iron Man. Tony's giving out gifts in his green sack. Today's a key ring thing.

If you ever need an argument for full nuclear disarmament, watch this.
I miss that brief moment in the early 90s when we (naively) thought global thermonuclear war was a thing of the past.

I'm mocking up a plan for an office project for over winter break. BF I get too deep into this, checking with ppl from/used to live in/just more aware of Queens, Manhattan & Brooklyn to make sure I don't have something really dumb going on (like the Empire State Bldg shorter than the Flatiron).

Got in the mood to re-watch the Multi-verse Saga and have watched WandaVision & am on the last episode of FatWS. Good Lawd, the Sam raining montage. Also, I don't care what "canon" is, I really think that boat repair scene belongs in a RomCom. SMOLDERING looks from both! BUCKYBUCKYBUCKY! 👽🤖🧙♂️

Working on a MCU NY Skyline to create something for my office. I needed Avengers Tower in Manhattan. Plus this has Brooklyn & the Statue of Liberty. I am wondering if I should modify Lady Liberty or not. Opinions? I could probably handle a small circle with a star cutout...

I have been saying since before the Paper Classes Scandal™️ that we need an Athletics major (concentrations like Sports Admin, Sports Comm, Sports Analytics or Sports Marketing).

For Spoopy Month 2025, I decided to do Vampire Movies. With help from my friends I put together a list from old (Vampyr, 1932) to new (Sinners, 2025), tragedy (Only Lovers Left Alive, 2013) to comedy (What We Do in the Shadows, 2014), heroic (Underworld, 2003) to villainous (Dracula, 1932). 🧛

I also wonder about property crime vs violent crime. One of those I'm much more willing to be lenient since a lot of times that's because persons are drawn to property crime by desperation.
