Okay, introduction thread. I'll make this my pinned post.
So, hi. I'm Nick. I don't post often, but if I do, it'll probably be about cycling, comics, mental health, TV shows & movies, my cats, and social justice.
I'm left leaning as hell and angry the world is leaning more and more the other way.

This just further makes me wish I could do a Starman podcast, recapping, breaking down, and discussing the whole run. But I...
1) Have no knowledge of creating or running a podcast.
2) Would need a co-host or two to bounce off of.

I think I know what James Robinson and Tony Harris @tonyfuckingharris.bsky.social have been busy with at DC Comics Black Label.
I hope there are fans of 1994's Starman still interested in Jack Knight's untold Japanese adventure.

If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

Combine the first movie you ever saw with the last movie you watched. What monstrosity have you created?
Mine is Muppets: Badlands (The Great Muppet Caper + Predator Badlands). So it's Swedish Chef carrying Miss Piggy around on his back.

Well, that's a pleasant surprise to read right before I go to bed. :D
Over the last week, I read (on audio book) The Dame Was a Tad Polish by our very own @nickpiers.bsky.social.
It's a murder mystery with a twist, quite a big twist.
Anyway, despite some initial skepticism I got caught up in it, listening every chance I could, to find out whodunit. 👍👍

Me, today:
1) Did 45 minutes total of DDP Yoga (10 minute Wake Up this morning, 35 minute Fat Burner this evening)
2) Walked to and from work, getting more boxes for moving on the way home.
3) Stated counting calories again with the LoseIt app.

It could be something big like winning an award, or as little as making the bed. Whatever made you feel good about your day today. #3GoodThings
