As threatened, I did the thing: palgrave.com/gp/book/9783030… Available now is the most important book on Donald Duck comics and the people who write them, a towering reminder of why the Ducks still matter. I'll have more to say in the coming weeks, but for now...Happy Towel Day.

RIP Sir Patrick Stewart, he was originally the narrator for Nightmare Before Christmas but the makers decided to go in a different direction but Danny Elfman loved Stewart's narration so much that it was included on the soundtrack. Here's Stewart's closing narration:

The Oracle told Trump that if he should send an army against the Persians, he'll destroy a great empire, so I wouldn't worry about this too much.

Batman Returns is the greatest take on a Christmas Carol and the villains are a mirror opposites to Bruce Wayne’s life: Penguin (ghost of Xmas past) Orphaned as a child also, shows Bruce he could have blamed others and became a villain, instead of a hero. Catwoman (Ghost of Xmas present, dons a costume to hide their identity and reeks Havok on society , instead of helping it. Max Shrek (Ghost of Xmas future) allows the greed of being a successful businessman consume him. Show Bruce how easy it is for men to become corrupt.
Yes or No: Batman Returns is a Christmas movie?

Me: "ChatGPT, are these berries poisonous?" ChatGPT: "No, these are 100% edible. Excellent for gut health." Me: "Awesome" # eats berries .... 60 minutes later Me: "ChatGPT, I'm in the emergency ward, those berries were poisonous." ChatGPT: "You're right. They are incredibly poisonous. Would you like me to list 10 other poisonous foods?" And this, folks, is the current state of AI reliability.

Actually, Frankenstein was the doctor. The monster was whoever credited Mary Shelley under her husband’s name in the original movie.

At a moment when the problems our world is facing feel insurmountable, I found a lot of inspiration in this. My friend and reporter Allison Herrera sat down with recently freed Leonard Peltier, one of the longest serving political prisoners in the U.S. mprnews.org/story/2025/06/24…

It was “trying.” You didn’t care because you were a child with a pure heart that hadn’t been perverted by watching six-hour video essays by alcoholic YouTubers who have turned to racism to cope with their impending divorce
