@lookxloser @ChaosCrave_ But isn't that also like the most Spider-Man storyline possible? "Next time: Peter can't have nice things."

@SSpence84533 @ottsens73 @jackrichrdson He's also not a top 5 of all time in 2026.

@DibbleTiki @nhldani Seabrook and Kieth. Guessing sometime between 2010 and 2020

[Mike R @Dyc3r]

It's that time of year again, folks. I have to live with the sad reminder that @fiveironfrenzy has never released a Christmas album. And it's a crying shame, because @ROPOCALYPSE screaming "Pa rum pum pum pum" might just be enough to make "Little Drummer Boy" worth listening to.

@CultureCrave I can't decide if I want to call it a "Game 2ube" or a "Series Xtra Small"

[Mike R @Dyc3r]

@EDAboii @buffyvibe Partially disagree here. There are definitely times when you want people to guess. The anticipation of what's coming makes the payoff exciting (the "fist pump" twist, as I call it). But a twist that makes sense in hindsight is just as compelling.

@capedviking @Ssnyder1835 @nytimes Dave Pilkey is an absolutely fantastic children's author. I'm not that surprised he's on the list several times. (Though, maybe a little surprised he's above Batman).

[Mike R @Dyc3r]

@fiveironfrenzy Either that, or meeting Reese after a Roper set at Cornerstone somewhere in between and telling him I'd remember that Denver road trip the rest of my life, and then he said "Oh, man, I hope not" 🤣

@fiveironfrenzy Skipping school on a Friday in November 2003 to drive from Chicago to Denver to see the last 2 shows. And then skipping work on a Saturday in April 2012 to fly to Denver for the reunion.

#LeoXIV neither opened nor closed his first address with "We're on a mission from God," and I worry he'll never recover from that missed opportunity. Shame, really.

[Mike R @Dyc3r]

Pope Leo XIV is the first American Pope, and born in Chicago! Does this mean #DeepDishEucharist?

@JoeA_NFL @HawkeyKnight30 The real issue with Bedard is that people expected the team to pull a 180 and be good overnight, which was just never going to happen, and that's not Bedard's fault.

[Mike R @Dyc3r]

@JoeA_NFL @HawkeyKnight30 I wouldn't say Bedard is underwhelming. Bedard came into the league on a very different team than we saw during the cup era. He also hasn't had the same calibre of veteran mentorship available that say Kane had at a similar point in his career (namely, guys like Hossa).

[Mike R @Dyc3r]

Watching @MaskedSingerX and getting irrationally mad that the panel hasn't figured out that Boogie Woogie is Andy Grammer. Even if the voice alone wasn't enough to give it away, that "English 101" book a few weeks back seals it. (Tell me the show is rigged without telling me 🤣)

@BN_Blackhawks @CHSN__ Blackhawks can't watch Blackhawks games on TV?

@robfike Incidentally, this attitude is probably one of many reasons your published work has sold more than mine. I've never been a good hype man for myself. 🤣

[Mike R @Dyc3r]

@robfike I call shenanigans. No creator has EVER been 100% happy with their work. He's lying to us, and I, for one, don't appreciate the deception.
