Spent the evening cleaning and tidying while listening to the Jays thump the Yankees on the radio.

Life ain’t too bad.

Found a slightly better spot for my living room cat cam so I can see three of the four most likely places she will be.

It’s called “good parenting”, folks!

I play this Buzzfeed game almost every day. I’m never gonna bookmark it. My friend Andy used to play it every day too and he’d always post his results. I used to go to his feed and use the link in his results and compare my time. Now that he’s gone, it’s my excuse to see his photo and say hello.

The last time Andy played Pyramid Scheme.

Gave Chloe some catnip for the first time in forever. She seems pretty mellow.

If I ever did a TikTok dance video, it would be to recreate this Rodney Dangerfield classic.

5:30pm is still too early in the day for one person to have smoked and drank enough to make an entire bus smell like this. These are 3am smells.

Fuck him. He’s rude to droids.

I only mention this because the cat doesn’t care about my stories and she never tells me anything about how HER night went.

Anthony Ruttgaizer | Comic Book Writer @anthonyruttgaizer.bsky.social · 12d

This would be a great time for a significant other to be here to cuddle up with me and let me tell them how cool my night was and then they tell me how cool I am and I would ask them about their night and they’d tell me equally cool stuff and I could tell them how cool they are… and then kissing. 😊

Stopped to grab a quick bite on my way to run some errands. This place has two counters and two tables. 16 seats, total…. and a sign that says “no dine in please”.

Friendly.

A former co-worker posted a Charlie Kirk photo with the message “RIP. If you don’t like it, unfriend me.” So I took him at face value and unfriended him.

If your heroes make their bones by sowing bigotry or hate, we probably don’t have much to say to one another anyways.

Ted Cruz thinks he’s charming. I wish there were enough voters in Texas who understood that he isn’t.

If I ever get to wrestle you, I know I’ll lose but lifting me for the photo might speed you into retirement.

I should add… I’ve been planning to do this for a couple of months. Netflix is next. The timing is semi-coincidental but I hope it’s part of a larger message to stop bending over backwards for the fascists.

Call it virtue signalling, if you like. Either way, Disney doesn’t need my money.

How about a Star Trek zombie story where all of Starfleet’s cannon fodder return from the grave to attack the bridge crew?

“Red Shirts Risen”
“Night of the Living Ensigns”
“The Walking Red”

I have Big Bottom by Spinal Tap stuck in my head. This is not a complaint cuz that is a legit great song.

I tried to imagine Gene Hackman’s Lex Luthor wearing the green and purple battle armor but it feels incredibly wrong.

Well, my compliments to the chef!

Anthony Ruttgaizer | Comic Book Writer @anthonyruttgaizer.bsky.social · 26d

That is gorgeous, man!

Anthony Ruttgaizer | Comic Book Writer @anthonyruttgaizer.bsky.social · 28d

Yes.
