When I started sketching holiday cards a decade ago I sent them to 7 people.
Now it’s 55. A lot, but community is partially what you’re willing to put in to show you care, and this is such a silly, easy thing.
Matt at 30 “needed” nobody, so this is also a therapy win.

I get that A Charlie Brown Christmas is THE Peanuts holiday special, but I think Thanksgiving, Halloween and New Year's Eve all have better soundtracks.
That is to say I really like a jazzy soundtrack and Vince Guaraldi delivers every time, but there is definitely a sweet spot.

Hot takes:
1. The Last Ronin should be animated
OR, if it has to be live action…
2. The Last Ronin should be done in the style of the 90s TMNT movies.
Really, I just hate that every time someone nails it with a TMNT thing, the people who own it are like “eh… let’s pivot.”

My only note is that the grandma should be a Chuck E Cheese animatronic behind a little curtain, and she occasionally pops out during dinner and insults the family.

Very nice outside today.
My outdoor coworker was also a fan of today’s weather.

Props to Pokemon Center for having a ton of apparel designs that don't ruin the art with ugly brand logos and text that tells you the name of the character.
More franchises should take notes.

“Little Amélie, or The Character of Rain” was really good! I like when animation studios follow an artistic vision instead of chasing trends.
I’m also realizing I’m easily won over by deep moments that aren’t immediately undercut by a joke.
Visually lovely. Mesmerizing. A+

Power Rangers is an interesting microcosm of that phenomenon where long-running franchises experience a few misfires and regress to nostalgia bait for adults at the expense of new fans and a future anyone might actually want.
I like the LEGO set, but like… I’m 40.

I openly enjoy these cartoons and I’m glad we’re getting a new one.
There, I said it.

This was good. Why doesn’t Pepsi bring back good things?
They could make it with cane sugar and make it even more dope.

Roughly 125 trick-or-treaters before I ran out of Takis and slime and had to switch to the fruit snacks and little packs of cookies I put in my lunch bag for work.
I wasn’t going to hand over my Red Bull, so I’m back inside.
Also, check out the Minecraft sword my nephew made for me. Pretty dope.

Okay, so based on my research, Tom Jung created the original Star Wars poster (first below).
The Hildebrandt's created the UK variant.
A Japanese variant was painted by Seito.
And the Marvel cover was Rick Hoberg and Dave Cockrum.
Jung did so good, they had everyone just do what he did. Legend.

I’ve already put a lot of effort into a Minecraft theme for my table this year, but next time my neighborhood brings back Trunk or Treat, it’s 100% TMNT with me as Splinter. I love that idea.

You would all be proud of the restraint I showed.
