Grandma died last week. She was the heart of our family in so many ways and radiated love into the world around her. This piece is a tribute to her and a life of love and memories. https://t.co/3gHaACui2g

Curious as to who #Supergirl was when she first burst on the comic scene in 1959?! Well you're in luck! In this li'l piece I explore Supergirl Year One to see what was familiar and what surprised me with the debut of the Last Daughter of Krypton. https://t.co/zayHzxZzQH

Silence can help us most to recognize the voice of God, since it fosters attention and recollection. Freed from the noise of a thousand voices, we come to recognize that some voices deceive our desires, others buy us without nourishing us, and still others speak out of self-interest. In silence, we understand that ideologies pass away, while truth remains. https://t.co/lbaMqHx1cJ

@PagesUnbound These look as delicious as they do fun!

Does the new #MastersOfTheUniverse live up to the 42 yrs of memories I have of loving #HeMan? And are there photos of li'l me loving He-Man in the '80s?! You're in luck because answers that questions AND has photos of little me in the '80s! https://t.co/wGePLosYtN

That’s right, folks! It’s #LetterboxdFriday time again! So here are my #LastFourWatched! I’ve been living the good life cinematically lately. Surprisingly good, in fact!

[Michael J. Miller @My_ComicRelief]

@PagesUnbound I think that's why it's fun! I imagine most readers presume there's a big machine behind how you two do what you do and have done so consistently for so long. So to read it is really is just you get along and are in sync and have fun doing it is both rewarding and interesting :).

My good friend Ursula K. Le Guin has some thoughts on this

[Michael J. Miller @My_ComicRelief]

To celebrate TEN YEARS OF BLOGGING, I put together this li'l "Best Of" retrospective where I look back at a decade of pieces and reflect on where and how I leveled up, as it were, in my writing. Curious what made the cut?! Well read on my friend, read on! https://t.co/MgMZPUexb5

Older comics were five course meals. You’d get soap opera drama, characters’ inner thoughts, monologues and exposition that explained and expanded lore and world built. There was no writing for a trade format and just hype and aura moments that plague modern comics.

There's nothing quite like a superhero movie or TV show SO GOOD it makes me go read the comics! Which superhero media have claimed this honor and sent me running to the comic shop to read the stories which inspired their adaptation? Read on to find out! https://t.co/aqgr7ErK9k

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas

@PagesUnbound OH MY GOSH YESSSSSS. I would get so annoyed because so often they highlighted or underlined the wrong things! (At least as far as I was concerned 😂.) And I'd sit there thinking, "Now I have to filter out the insights of someone who's a worse student than I am."

Many people nowadays read what the algorithm suggests to them, but there is nothing like walking in a bookshop, browsing the shelves, and casually stumbling upon a niche book you never knew you needed, but which will change your life.

[Michael J. Miller @My_ComicRelief]

It's tricky to say a movie or TV show is better than the book but I did JUST THAT for @PagesUnbound's "Fantasy with Friends" reflection this week! Curious what I chose?! Well, read on and tell me if you agree or not! https://t.co/FyjWAIj9bN

#TheDevilWearsPrada2 was one of THE BEST films I've seen this year. I can't remember the last time I saw a sequel this well done! In this li'l piece, I explore how the film restored my faith in sequels and reminded me what a sequel that matters looks like. https://t.co/sCEWUf3nyh

I watched and loved every minute of this XD.

Just one day after ending "The Late Show" on CBS, Stephen Colbert returned to TV — to host a public access show with rocker Jack White in Monroe, Michigan.

Appearances by Jeff Daniels, Eminem and Steve Buscemi.

no actually Disney needs to mandate that, in order to work on a Star Wars project, you need to have seen every Kurosawa film, the entire Budd Boetticher Ranown Cycle, and all three Flash Gordon serials from 1936-1940

You have the power to help your friends as well as yourself. Turn your phone off. I mean, completely power it down, then put it in a time lock box. Start with a half hour. Then one. Two. Four. An entire day.

Tell friends who call or text what you’re doing. Tell them how it feels to be free, to feel your mind get beyond that twitchy desire to check social media or email. To know you’re stronger than the desire to check your phone.

Get into a book or movie. Take a walk. Nap. Meet up with friends in green spaces under the sun, away from your phones. Live.

Free range humans. Let’s make that happen.
