I have a small quote in this. Loved lots of media from 2025, but I really wanted to use this as a chance to plug @collinkelly.bsky.social & @jacksonlanzing.bsky.social 's work on THE LAST STARSHIP. There's a lot of #StarTrek out there, but this comic has really been something special. Check it out!

@twincitiesgeek.com published this almost a decade ago, and sadly it's more relevant than ever.

Be good to each other, and to yourselves.

Hobbit says isn't it tome to shovel? Aragorn says we already shoveled an hour ago. Hobbit says we did it once, yes. But what about second shovel?

“Wake Up Dead Man” takes the best parts of the first two “Knives Out” movies and improves on them. #KnivesOut #WakeUpDeadMan

“Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery” Is the Best Film in the Series So Far
The film is engaging and funny, and also has something to say.

If you, like me, were wondering: I’m sorry to inform you that Minnesota does not have an official state reptile.

“However, the Blanding's turtle was proposed as the reptile of the state in 1998 and 1999.” (via Wikipedia)
Turtle, seen from the side and looking at its belly. Or maybe a cross-section? It’s got a dark shell speckled with bright yellow and orange markings. It’s beautiful.

As you may know, I have stopped using Twitter, and have decided to reproduce some of my more memorable threads here for posterity. Here’s one I hold wrote after a particularly engaging swordfighting lesson.

Buckle up, swordfighting fans, because I *have* studied my Agrippa!
