I cannot believe I’m saying this, but I spoke with the voices behind Daria and Jane - Tracy Grandstaff and Wendy Hoopes - about Daria, the show which shaped a generation…and which needs to return. https://t.co/bcuRFWtNRz

Lanterns treats the ring like a service weapon — having it isn't the same as having the judgment to use it. That one choice is why the show works. #Lanterns

Four of my favorite annual report covers.

If I had to single out one year, I’d say this lost art peaked in 1977.

This might be the most beautiful thing I've read in my life. What a privilege to be alive in 2026.

Here is my interview with Christopher Nolan: are you a bard for a civilization at dusk?

[Big Boris @BigBoris_2]

Man, this speech is so fucking good. Perfect encapsulation of why Spider-Man still means so much to me to this very day. It’s like the movie is taking a second to explain why Spider-Man matters, and the fact it works perfectly with the rest of the film is incredible.

My MCU and expanded Marvel on-screen tier list! I didn't bother showing anything below B (who needs the negativity), but how similar is this to yours? Also... Wonderman? Cancelled? God damn.

The Odyssey: this is how you preserve the aspect ratio for home viewing...

Now that everyone’s thinking of the Odyssey, it reminded me of this great art installation by Tatianna Blass inspired by Penelope’s story. It was at the Chapel of Morumbi in São Paulo ages ago.

If you can't get enough of The Odyssey this weekend, you could always pay a visit to the Underworld of Hades!⛵️ Do say hello to everyone if you stop by.

“It is probably viewers who haven’t read Homer who are likeliest to enjoy ‘The Odyssey’ ”—Christopher Nolan’s version—Richard Brody writes. This is not, he argues, because much of the poem is necessarily left out of the film adaptation but because of one pervasive absence: the gods. Aside from Athena (Zendaya), the classical Greek pantheon is largely absent from Nolan’s movie, even though it controls each moment of the epic poem.

“Instead, Nolan unfolds a purely human drama,” Brody continues, a slimmed-down, naturalistic version of the story that tempers the ancient sensibilities of its source text. Matt Damon’s Odysseus is “impassive and burdened,” not powerful and mercurial. What are the costs of rendering The Odyssey for modern times? Brody considers the strengths—and the limitations—of an epic adaptation constrained by contemporary morality: https://t.co/qXhbK4lSK4

wearing a tie outside of suits and sport coats strikes me as kind of corny and affected. also think ties should not be worn with jeans.
