Looking forward to 2026, here's our first three months. I'm not 100% certain, but there might be at least a couple books currently missing from the chart for now.
Dave, let me letter a Star War.

ZZT is still the best thing Tim Sweeney has ever done and I spent way too many hours in middle school tooling around with it.
Happy 35th birthday ZZT!

Thank you for showing us that anyone can make a game

In the US, Starfleet Academy's first episode is a freebie, BTW.

Feeling very "one door closes, another opens" this week. It's gonna be a great year.

For me making comics.

Not for everything else.

This is a very specific great year prediction.

I really love that Starfleet Academy is going to be getting mileage out of The Doctor as a character that's existed for 800 years, lived with countless tragedies, and remembers the Federation as it was. That's the good shit. And Picardo is GAME.

I love Space Paul Giamatti.

Hey, @joequinones.bsky.social, why isn't Batman 89's Diet Coke canonical yet.
I've done the "NONE MORE [moment in time]" bit a few times now with old commercial breaks, but this...?

This is the absolute real deal. The apex predator. The shit the dealer usually keeps for himself.

June 28, 1992 in pure crystalline form.

Handle with extreme care.

Just thinking about Star Trek a normal amount today.
Here's the new #StarTrek 60th anniversary bumper video that will play before every new episode of the franchise in 2026, beginning with today's #StarfleetAcademy series debut

One huge reason I'm excited for Starfleet Academy is because it continues the 32nd century setting from the final few seasons of Star Trek: Discovery (which remains my favorite 21st century Trek, esp. seasons 3 and 4.)

I love it when Star Trek keeps exploring further and further into the future.

I mean, I was so good at lettering my own comics that I just made it my entire job.
Artists, I think we're all too comfortable sharing our imposter syndrome.

I would love to see you step out of your comfort zone and confidently state what you think you're actually really good at.

No self deprecation, just what you think you're the strongest at

Is anyone brave eniough? 👀

Took 35 years but somebody finally found the true ending
Using a combination of glitches in Super Mario World, Yoshi can be taken into the final battle, where he can eat Peach upon Bowser's defeat. With Peach gone, the ending will not play, and Mario and Yoshi will simply stare at each other forever.

San Diego Comicon allowing AI art to be showcased is a bold strategy, Cotton.

I know nostalgia for Blockbuster is a thing. I don’t really remember it that way. I remember it having fewer movies than the stores I went to as a kid. But I worked at Blockbuster when I was 17.

Here are some things that happened while I was there.
