This will always be my favorite example of why Jubilee is the best.

Panel from Uncanny X-Men 325, featuring Jubilee wearing a Weezer t-shirt. Cannonball is there too, they're talking about wanting to speed up a softball game, but really the important thing here is that Jubilee is wearing a Weezer t-shirt

One of the highlights of our trip to Chicago a few weeks ago was walking past this (which I didn't realize was a few blocks down the street from the haunted celebration hotel):

At the U.S. Capitol. I saw Mike Johnson.

Also nice to see the Air and Space Museum has a display dedicated to the pinnacle in human achievement.

Ran into some friends at the Air and Space Museum.

For the most part, this town is pretty cool.

And I always thought the song was called 'Ain't Gonna Play Sun City.'

This chipmunk has been outside the window at my dentist's office watching me get my teeth cleaned for the last 30 minutes. It thinks I should floss more.

Back of Star Wars action figures box on Target shelf. Featuring Darth Vader squaring off against ROTJ-era Luke Skywalker, ROTS Obi-Wan, Ghost Yoda and adult Ahsoka Tano. Vader is somehow using red Force Lightning, whilst Kenobi is inexplicably responding with blue Force lightning.

#RiversDemoFlood 1934: Flat Tire 1 October 4, 2001 From the Green-Maladroit Years This is the longer of two takes of this song that Rivers demoed. And interestingly, the fifth song Rivers wrote on this one day (of those, I'd say either The Victor or Sick of All the Effort is the best)...

Songs written by Rivers Cuomo on October 4, 2001:
348 The Victor
349 In Your Arms
350 Sick of All the Effort
351 D'ya Wanna get High?
352 Flat Tire

Just finished (or re-finished) the excellent The Rising Storm. Almost didn't want to read the last few chapters, knowing what happens after Bell and Loden's reunion. My favorite part of the book is when Elzar confesses to Stellan that he touched the Dark Side. Stellan's response? ...

Rainn Wilson did name Raditude. Take that as you will.

This isn't really news, CBR. This was confirmed almost 50 years ago.

Weezer - Weezer (2026), coming August 21. Call it The Gold Album if you must.

Hey @cavan.bsky.social - I'm in the middle of a chronological High Republic reread. I noticed this passage in the excellent The Rising Storm. That 150 years mention about Republic-Togruta relations - was that meant to be a phase 2 story point that was never followed up on? Or coincidence?

Text from The Rising Storm:
point when the Republic had first ventured into Togruta space nearly 150 years earlier. Members of the species were fiercely protective of their world and its surrounding moons,

77 degrees out and in the hammock with a Black Cherry Fresca. Absolutely perfect.
