Comics, photography, ska, books, Red Dwarf, Star Trek, D&D, interesting rocks but not a dick about any of it. Lots more cat content than I anticipated. Proud father of an autistic son.

When Americans were asked to temporarily sacrifice going to their barbers so we could keep the morgues from overflowing, people with guns stormed the Michigan capitol.

Yes, Iโ€™m religious. I believe in the Holy Trinity.

Super heroes should always be the way they were when I was 15!

It's bizarre to me how many people in the comments here seem to think that automation is going to translate into more freedom for the working class.

When has that ever panned out? How much leisure time do you have, after years of these "innovations"? We are Charlie Brown trying to kick the football

My son is in kindergarten and doing algebra for fun.

I think my life would have turned out a lot different if the school I went to had a gifted program. I wouldn't have contracted "i don't give a shit"-itis at 12.

They're giving my son an IQ test at school today in an effort to get him into the gifted program before he gets to third grade. He's pretty excited about it and so are we. A lot of his behavioral issues stem from being bored all the time.

My son apparently dreams of this tower fairly regularly. It does not seem to be The Dark Tower, though.

I REALLY tried to stop reading when Roland enters the Tower last time.

Same. I really only want to hear from my usual circle or people who are 80% or more in agreement with me

Long days and pleasant nights. We will meet at the clearing at the end of the Path.

@scheu.bsky.social - what are you picking besides Book of the New Sun?

Isn't it weird when someone outside your usually 5-10 people comments on one of your posts?

Stephen King fans are either people who are all in on the Dark Tower or people who are wrong.

If I could only read five series over and over for eternity:
Michael Moorcock's Elric
Stephen King's Dark Tower
Fritz Leiber's Lankhmar stories
PG Wodehouse's Jeeves and Wooster books
Richard Stark's Parker books

Too many honorable mentions to list

Is this going to be the year I reread The Dark Tower? Last time was in 2019 right before me son was born but I didn't time it quite right.

Americans and the rest of the world are currently paying a mad bastard tax in term of all the extra costs due to the mad bastard in the white house.

Did Chuck Tingle do border patrol agent pounded in the ass by illegal immigrants yet?

I so looked forward to every year's new Pratchett book.

On the plus side, you can find all King's books cheap.

There's one I still post on. It hasn't changed much since 2008 but it's stable.

Don't read the Dark Tower books until you've read enough of King's other books so you'll catch all the references
