Haven’t put up the fun tree the past couple of years. Got the new Superman and Krypto and we decided to put it back up. Thread of the Superman ornaments I’ve bought over the years.

“He sees the good in everyone. I see the truth.”

Diggin’ the Supergirl trailer.

Movie you've watched more than six times with a Gif. Hard mode-no Star Wars, Marvel.

A Doc Savage series by Matt Wagner would be such a gift.

Ten years ago today I entered the theater stoked for some new James Bond and left the theater more than a little deflated.

I teach high school. I would have failed her as well. So it’s not just that she didn’t meet the criteria of a *college* essay, she didn’t meet the criteria for a high school essay either.

She wants to be the academic Riley Gaines. She’ll be on Fox tomorrow. Bet.
Oklahoma University has placed a grad student instructor on admin leave for failing a psychology paper on gender for citing *the Bible* as a source of empirical evidence.

In response, OU has placed on instructor on admin leave citing, get this, the FIRST AMENDMENT.

Universities are cooked.

Didn’t know it was international “Josh Brolin can f*** off” day, but here we are.

His remarks are so flippant it’s infuriating. Zero awareness.

"When he was arrested, he said, 'I'm ICE, boys,'" Hodges said during a press conference Tuesday. "Well, unfortunately for him, we locked him up."

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

In ‘79 I was fourteen and I couldn’t have loved this more. A Tobe Hooper classic.
On this date in 1979, the first of the two-part miniseries of Salem's Lot premiered on CBS. It ran as a special presentation on the Saturday nights before and after Thanksgiving that year.

Looking for a way to liven up your Sunday? Consider the latest episode of "Letting Them Talk with Will Harris," which just dropped. I wanted to start a recurring episode premise called "Political Pundits on Pop Culture," and my first guest is none other than Kevin M. Kruse!

When I was a kid and picked up Doc Savage: His Apocalyptic Life, Philip Jose Farmer’s biography of the legendary pulp hero, I was jazzed to learn I shared a birthday with Doc.
Ninety-three years ago today, Lester Dent started writing The Man of Bronze (March 1933), his first Doc Savage novel for Street & Smith. He mentioned the day in his foreword to No Light to Die By (May 1947) #docsavage #pulp #adventure
