I didn't get a screenshot of this, but The Joker #3 featured the joker tricking the creeper into working for him. And while the creeper worked for the Joker, Jack Ryder was unable to do the news for WHAM-TV (the best name for a tv network, possibly). And so we meet his replacement for one page: William Batson. William as in Billy. And sure, this reporter looks nothing like the Billy Batson from Shazam comics. But I know Denny O'Neil probably meant it as a fun in-joke, and I like that.

Perhaps if the joker comic ran for more than 10 issues, we could've seen Joker battle against Captain Marvel or something. That would've been cool. But I still appreciate that Joker had his own stories at all. Watching him tangle with two face, catwoman, the scarecrow, lex luthor, green arrow, the creeper and more makes for a very entertaining book. Just watch as the joker travels cross country, tangling with all sorts of others, be they heroes or villians.

College football public school HCs earn bonuses but not Billy Napier

USA TODAY Sports recently compiled a full listing of pay bonuses received by college football public school head coaches, and to the surprise of absolutely nobody, Florida’s Billy Napier was excluded from the list. The Gators stumbled to a 5-7 record in 2023, marking the program’s third-straight losing season since the mid-1940s. It makes sense that the provisions of his contract would not…

It fuckin cold

Listening: I have been installing and testing my new TV speakers so I need a nice bass-heavy song to run tests and dial in subwoofer levels, and I am regularly coming back to Bad Guy by Billie Eilish. It's good! It was a good song. She's been much gentler in style lately so it is interesting to compare styles.

Also just a fun video to have on a big screen.

Watching: The Court Jester (1955) starring Danny Kaye which you know from the incredibly silly swordfight at the end, you've seen it be used on here to litigate stupid arguments about mastery of skills.

Extremely funny! Watched with my partner and their friends. Really solid use of a Danny Kaye and cute wordplay. This is a movie about dating a closeted trans man.

There are so many guys in this movie! Danny Kaye, Basil Rathbone, Angela Lansbury, Michael Pate, Alan Napier, hell even John Carradine makes an appearance before being bonked on the head.

Reading: Still working my way through Pale Fire, there's a lot happening. I feel like I don't have the whole picture yet.

Playing: Not a ton, I was not at home much this past week for reasons.

Making: when I have been at home I've been working on my whole TV deal. I do not use the TV but part of that is that it has dogshit sound and no computer attached that I enjoy using, so I've been solving that. One thing I said when the Steam Deck came out was that it was an ideal form factor for a home theater PC, since it has enough computing power to get out of its own way and even do some light gaming, but it's also small and multi-use. HTPC's tend to feel like a waste if they're powerful and annoying if they're too slow, so being able to just rip your HTPC out and carry it around without having to deal with the bulk and height of a laptop is nice.

I've been installing a hub with some peripherals and networking for that, and then also installing the speakers I got on the front of the TV cabinet, which is more or less done now! I still need to print some cable conduit so route those cables to the back of the cabinet. But it's good for now, looks nice, and sounds decent.

Up next is to design some kind of more robust docking solution for the handheld. The handheld also needs to get punted over to Linux so I can incorporate it into my home network, it'll be able to NFS mount my media libraries and act as a wireplumber sink so that I can beam audio to it. Actually hmm I think my TV can do AirPlay so I might be able to use WP to hit that directly. I'll see! It'll be nice to have everything integrated.

I mean actually actually up next should be the big projects, which is to say soundproofing the server a little and designing the coffee table, which are ongoing design projects (see: I have a bunch of OnShape windows open)

Tools and Equipment: This counts: The big thing these days is the absorption method for rice where you carefully measure out the right amount of water so that it is perfectly taken up while cooking. It's good. However. You should try making parboiled basmati rice the Indian way where you boil it in a ton of water and then drain it like pasta. It is so good. I just made like two cups of rice for the week like this it's very easy and pretty quick if you preboil some of your water in a fast kettle, or you have good induction.

I love that you set part of the story in London. I always thought that made sense for Louis. I can really see him there. Is there a reason you chose Tokyo and London?

Thank you, anon! I can really see him there too, and there actually is kind of a funny, kind of obscure reason why I picked it.

Tokyo is more straightforward - I wanted a city that made sense for them both to be visiting, and Tokyo has a really prominent art scene, but is also a place you go when it comes to pianos (like yes, there are a few exceptions, but really you go to Japan or Germany for the best, and I already had Lestat recording in Berlin, so didn't want the latter). I did a little research and found that Kawai's pianos are both pretty unique and that they offer a luxury made-to-order range which just felt like it'd be up Lestat's alley, haha. Plus it felt like a fun place to put them (even if they don't really leave their hotel room).

I actually made the choice that Louis and Armand would've lived in London for a while when I was writing The Steady Murmur. It was really influenced by two books I read last year - one was Darryl Bullock's The Velvet Mafia: the gay men who ran the swinging sixties which is a fantastic book that looks at, well, let me just quote The Guardian article, haha:

The story of rock’n’roll in the 60s has been told countless times by the stars who sang the songs, spun the solos or thrashed the drums. In the UK at the time, that most often meant straight white men, as it did in the US. But the people who shaped and advised those artists – the ones who managed the stars of the classic rock age – were, by an outsized margin, gay men. That interwoven community included Brian Epstein (who brought the world the Beatles), Kit Lambert (who co-managed the Who), Simon Napier-Bell (the Yardbirds, and a young Marc Bolan), Robert Stigwood (Cream, the Bee Gees), Billy Gaff (Rod Stewart), Ken Pitt (David Bowie), Barry Krost (Cat Stevens), as well as Tony Stratton-Smith (who formed the visionary label Charisma for bands like Genesis). In fact, it was a gay man, Larry Parnes, who svengali-d Britain’s very first rockers, from Tommy Steele to Billy Fury to Marty Wilde.

The other book I read was actually Brian Epstein's (who I have just a personal interest in as a Beatles fan) memoir A Cellarful of Noise, which was released at the initial explosion of The Beatles fame in 1964 (and before his accidental overdose/suicide, depending on who you ask in 1967).

They're both really, really great reads, and offer this huge insight into this window of time in the 50s and 60s in London where (wealthy) gay men kind of ran the city. It was extremely dangerous for them obviously, and they were often extorted, brutalised and arrested, but they were also able to carve out a community and a high level of influence in both the art and music scene, and in the business world, that saw them both remarkably vulnerable and remarkably powerfu, and dubbed the velvet mafia. It's fascinating and I wasn't reading then with IWTV in mind at all, but as I was writing Steady Murmur and trying to think of where they could've lived, Louis in that sort of space just made a lot of sense to me. It kind of felt in a different life he even could've been a part of the Velvet Mafia really, so yeah. I kind of felt he could've had a life there in the 50s and 60s, so wrote one for him in my head. Him revisiting it now is kind of tied up in a bit of nostalgia around that part of his life in my head, even though it probably won't make it onto the page for this particular fic.

Florida: 2024 Gasparilla Bowl Champions

TAMPA, Fla. — At the end of an oftentimes turbulent season and a game with its share of yawns, the Gators did what winning bowl teams do.

They danced and laughed and took silly photos together. They clutched the Gasparilla Bowl trophy and paraded around the field at Raymond James Stadium, relishing Friday's 33-8 victory over Tulane.

Florida's first bowl victory in five seasons was far from a masterpiece, but that had little significance to the players and coaches celebrating the final moments of a long and trying season.

"Great to finish the right way,'' head coach Billy Napier said.

The Gators, after a pair of blowout losses to Miami and Texas A&M early in the season, after Napier's future in charge of the program was in question, after losing several key players to season-ending injuries, after not becoming bowl-eligible until the next-to-last game of the regular season, finished the season on a four-game winning streak and a healthy dose of momentum heading into 2025.

Florida's season featured more zigzags than anything the players rode at Busch Gardens earlier in the week. And Fridays' thumping of the Green Wave was no different.

Two moments stood above all others in the end. Both featured 6-foot-5, 449-pound senior defensive lineman Desmond Watson, who grew up a short drive from downtown Tampa and played at nearby Armwood High School. The first came in the first quarter when Watson stopped Tulane quarterback Ty Thompson on a third-and-2 play at UF's 48. Watson didn't just stop Thompson short of the first down; he bear-hugged him and lifted him three feet off the ground as officials blew their whistles. He turned the 6-foot-4, 224-pound Thompson into a rag doll.

The second play that had people talking about Watson afterward — and earned him a highlight on ESPN's "SportsCenter" — happened on third-and-1 from Tulane's 26-yard line late in the fourth quarter as Florida attempted to run out the clock. Napier inserted Watson into the game at running back as part of what the Gators call the "Hawk Package," a nod to Armwood High's mascot.

"Been thinking about it the whole year," Napier said. "And Des has played really good. Bowl games, you're looking for buttons to push. I think this one helped our team. You saw that sideline light up when he went out there. A lot of fun, and he did a great job. I think the guys rallied around him."

Watson took the handoff from backup quarterback Aidan Warner and rumbled for a first down to the delight of the prominent Orange & Blue faithful among the announced crowd of 41,472. Watson stayed in on the next play to serve as lead blocker for walk-on running back Anthony Rubio, the son of Florida senator Marco Rubio.

The party had officially started with the Gators on their way to a final touchdown scored on a 9-yard run by Rubio, a walk-on who rushed six times for 32 yards in his memorable bowl debut. Watson grinned ear to ear when discussing his turn in the spotlight.

"It was great,'' he said. "Since I came to college, every time I go on the internet, I see somebody say I should be in some type of package to get the ball, especially since I wear No. 21, a running back number. I never really looked too much into it. I never went to Coach Napier about it. But I feel like he's seen it, too. It was a great moment to finish off my career as a Florida Gator."

Watson even did a Heisman pose when he returned to the sideline.

"They were begging me to do it," he said.

Watson is part of a senior class that had not tasted victory in a bowl game until Friday. He is a rarity in today's landscape, playing as a true freshman in 2021 and spending all four seasons at one school.

Watson said he had 20 friends and family at the game and, more than anything else, wanted to leave the field as a winner in his final game.

"That was the biggest thing for me, being here all four years, that was a great way to finish it,'' Watson said. "I feel like the season we had, it set the floor for the young guys. I say the floor because we always feel like we need to get better. If things go the way they should go, I feel like I'm part of the reason and helped the team."

While Watson's show-stopping moments highlighted the victory, Gators true freshman quarterback DJ Lagway (22 of 35, 305 yards, 1 TD, 2 INT) earned MVP honors. Lagway tossed a 7-yard touchdown to tight end Tony Livingston late in the third quarter to overcome a pair of first-half interceptions that cost the Gators in the red zone.

Lagway finished 6-1 as Florida's starting quarterback and was undefeated in games he started and finished. His only loss came to Georgia when he left the game in the second quarter with the Gators leading because of a hamstring injury. Lagway is still not 100 percent, but he and kicker Trey Smack (four field goals) provided enough offense for the Gators to turn back the Green Wave handily.

But he was not satisfied.

"It's a bad taste in my mouth, that performance,'' Lagway said. "I was just playing bad football, not taking care of the football. Seeing plays that I thought I could make and just forcing it."

Lagway's two interceptions, one a pass into coverage in the end zone, became a nonfactor thanks to another strong defensive performance. Despite missing starting defensive linemen Caleb Banks and Cam Jackson to injuries and edge rusher T.J. Searcy absent after he entered the transfer portal, the Gators recorded three interceptions, stopped Tulane on fourth down three times, and limited the Green Wave to a season-low 194 yards.

"We were sloppy early,'' Napier said. "We were a little rusty on offense. We could have had control of the game earlier if we played cleaner on offense. You're going to have days like that. That's why you play complementary ball.

"One of the reasons we've been able to turn it around is we've played really good defense. Today was no different. We stopped the run. We made them one-dimensional. We kept the shots in front of us. We did a good job of tackling on the perimeter."

Smack scored the early points, Lagway was MVP, and the defense dominated. Those factors added to a winning recipe, as Florida finished 8-5 in its first winning season since 2020. With the victory, Napier climbed back to .500 (19-19) and boarded the bus back to Gainesville, eager to work on the future.

But before all that, he took part in the fun. He put in a running play for Watson that they created on the fly.

"I can do it all,'' Watson said.

"We literally put the play in on the field at practice,'' Napier said. "The guys were, 'Hey, give him the ball, Coach. Give him the ball.'

"Have you ever seen a 400-plus guy run the ball before?"

No, Coach, we have not. Refrigerator Perry was listed at only 335 pounds. But it was fun to watch, another memorable moment in a season full of plot twists.

Ghostbusters 1984 review: Dickless for 40 Years and Running! (Comissioned by Weird Kev)

Hello all you happy people and welcome to the start of our look at ghost busters! Kev's a fan, i'm a fan, your a literal sentient fan that eats children to survive. We're all fans here.

In 1980 Dan Akroyd drove his car into columbia pictures with a dream.. to make a film about his love of ghosts and since he wouldn't leave they sent director ivan reitman to get him to. Instead Ivan agreed with the dream and agreed to not have columbia pictures, which he was mayor of, to press charges. They then went to get their friend Harold Ramis who was, ironically trapped in the phantom zone and with the help of mon el they freed him and all 4 escaped.

Then they had to spend a year curing MOn El's led poisning but unfortuatnely failed and had ot send him to the future. With their venkman gone, they instead went with Bill Murray, who had just finished up being a consuler at a summer camp by the time the summer of 81 rolled around. They had three but they needed a fourth. So the four set out on an epic quest to find their fourth ghostbuster. So they arrived in Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So they tied an onion to their belts, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. "Give me five bees for a quarter," you'd say. Now, where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was they had an onion on their belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones.

Any ways they soon found ernie hudson but he was in the thrall of the shadow king so to free him Murray winged him real godo with a boot and then a now free enrie threw him into the sun.

With that production began, but soon mysterious murders began just like what happened in woodsburo a few years ago, and bill murray sadly died confronting ghostface. To revivie him our heroes went back in time and managed to save him and unmask ghostface early, but marty mcfly's parents ceased to exist, so they went back again only to make a world ruled by apes. This was satisfactory enough for a while but when the apes decreed ghosts and all depecitons of them banned our heroes went back AGAIN and finally got a timeline that worked well enough. Bill Murray was a transformer now of course and ernie hudson could turn water into flame, but those were okay. Dan Akroyd, who was now a cartoon dog wrote a new draft, the studio loved it and thus ghostbusters was born.

They cast an all star cast: Some Guy as Walter Peck, some other guy as the mayor, Segornye Weaver who had an uneventful year but wasn't about to tell the cartoon dog, and Rick Moranis, who had his own epic quest with best friend and great white north co-star dave thomas to save the world that we'll get to some other day. THe film was a hit, created a franchise and here we are so join me under the cut will ya.

So the film begins with famous outlaws Billy the Kid and Belle Starr rising from the dead. Depsite having died a decade apart and billy having been about 20 and belle 40, they both look middle aged as they plan to rustle cattle, there apparnetly being no beef in the afterlife

We'll deal with that terror as we get our title sequence, as Ray Jay Parker junior.. sorry three old white men sing the ghost busters theme. All three are here KOng, the leader, Spencer, the dumb one dressed like jack napier for some reason and Tracy, the gorilla who wears hats.

Their the ghost busters, they caper after ghosts and work out of an apartment in what could only be new york. So after the opening they have some banter i've blocked out because I want to live and sad to say it hasn't held up well> Speaking of holding up I can't really keep this up so

APRIL FOOLS BITCHES

Yeah bad news, we will not be covering the 1984 classic ghostbusters.. till October. Yeah this is a hell of a way to do it but in october we'll be starting a yearly look at one of the best comedy franchises around, Ghostbusters, starting with the original timeline: Ghostbusters, Ghostbusters II, the video game and the first arc of the idw comic. And possibly a brucey bonus as we have an extra week.

To kick this off we decided to look not at the movies.. but at the OTHER ghost busters... the 1975 live action filmation show starring two guys from f troop and a guy in a gorilla suit who dick around an office, get a call from some guy named zero, and then bust ghosts.

This show is also why the real ghostbusters are called that: Filmation made the BOLD choice to do thier own cartoon based on the 70's show to cash in, Columbia said HELL NO, and since they coudln't get it stopped (It was within filmation's rights) instead named theirs the REAL GHOSTBUSTERS. And it was. We'll look at the other one next year for now let's talk about the live action show

The reason I couldn't hold up the gag is simple: The Ghost Busters... is pain. It is deep hurting. it is grief in telvision form. The Ghost Busters.. is lame. Or, at the very least the episode Kev choose by roulette wheel , they went thataway is. Kev is also now barred from using a randomizer for at least a review or two. Sorry kev.

I thought it might at least have a chuckle, I mean it's a series with a giant gorilla and their chasing cowboys. This had to be at least a LITTLE fun right? right?

I mean ... it was a LITTLE fun as Tracy the gorilla.. is genuinely a delight. He throws a man upside down when he tries cheating him in a coin toss, wears delightful hats, and somehow makes a giant propellor work on a model airlplane. Is the schitch he does all that funny? no. Is he still charming anyway because it's a gorilla? yes. Sadly we do NOT get to see a fake gorilla drive a fake car.

The fact a fake gorilla doing mildly amusing schtick is the only thing this episode did that was remotely amusing should tell you to RUN SAVE YOURSELVES FOR THE LOVE OF GOD RUN. RUN. NEVER LOOK BACK. RUN. RUNNNNNN.

But since you didn't take my warning if your onto this paragraph, let the misery continue: While I can enjoy a corny joke on occasion, The Ghost Busters is the corniest of jokes. It is the lamest of ideas. It is just 20 solid minute of dad jokes without the charm of being told by an actual dad. We get a joke where the cowboys ask if Spencer , the idiot of the group wants to wet his whistle.. AND THEN HE DIPS IT IN WATER. GET IT. GET IT. GET IT. GET IT GET...

Every fucking joke is like that: a pun without any sense of irony or whimsy that makes a pun tolerable.

The actual premise is also just.. not funny. Cowboys want to rustle up cattle because hell apparently has none. Maybe that's why theirs so many delightful 40's cannibals, we don't know. So they want to go cattle rustling but DOHOHOHO THEIRS NO CATTLE IN THE CITY and they make soup but it's warm despite no fire because she LEFT IT ON TWICE AS LONG DOHOHOHO. i'm dying inside because this show is inane DOHOHOHOHO.

I"m.. not exaggerating. I'm a forgiving man: I find the good in most stuff I review even fi I don't like it. I try to be positive: it's why most stuff I review or get comissioned for is stuff that's GOOD. And even the mediocre or bad I can still usually find something but this show has a gorilla with hats and NOTHING else. Kong and Spencer have the "schemer guy and idiot" schtick you've seen a million times. The jokes are trite as hell and were played out in 1975 to the point i'm baffled this came out in the 70's. It was aimed at kids sure but kids aren't THIS stupid. I thought given the gorilla it'd at least be goofy fun or so bad it's good.. but it's just nothing. I'm struggling to find things to say that aren't "I died a little on the inside watching this".

The actual "plot" is paper thin, which is fine for a comedy if it's actually funny. To use a refrence to the good ghostbusters, Meatballs, from the same director, is good. it's also a lot of scenes of dicking around with teens. But the bill murray jokes, his friendship with chris makepiece, the jokes that do work, that makin it dance scene.. it has more than enough to compensate. It also has a truly awful scene I skip every time that acts like consent don't exist.

This is just "dick around with cowboys", "Dick around till they go to get the call from ghost man", dick around with cowboys again" , "Dick around a bit after getting their assigment' , "Dick around and pretend to be cowboys", "Catch ghosts embarassingly easy while billy the kid humps the air". The only clever or notable things are the fact the ghosts randomly age and that Bella gets a happy ending as they at least cooked her a meal first.

So yeah this was 25 minutes of my life i'll never get back. I wish I had more to say but this is just.. nothing. Maybe the dracula or frankenstien episodes have more I don't know, and I don't care. This was a MASSIVE disapointment and hopefully the cartoon willl be better. Thanks for reading.

➺To make things more inclusive, I prefer to keep Reader/Y/N’s gender and pronouns neutral, unless important to the story being told. (Note: I do not write male!reader/amab/reader with male anatomy simply because I’m not comfortable/confident writing that. Sorry!)

➺Just because a specific character isn’t listed below, doesn’t mean I’m not open to writing about them. Ask anyway!

MY WRITING PREFERENCES:

➺I LOVE writing fluff/flangst (smut can be a challenge for me, but I’m open to it. *Read below for more info on NSFW content).

➺I specialize in writing happy endings! I do not enjoy writing angsty endings AT ALL and I generally refuse to do it. You want hardcore angst?

➺No personalized name fics (reader-insert only).

➺No sad/angsty endings.

➺No permanent death of Reader and/or pairing character (temporary or assumed death for the sake of angst is okay).

CHARACTERS I’LL WRITE FOR:

*A handful of these characters I have little to no writing experience with, but I listed them anyway to challenge myself! As with all of my writings, I will put in my very best effort to make sure they are as in-character and well-written as possible!

➺My Hero Academia

*I am not fully caught up with the show or the manga, but I know quite a lot of spoilers. That said, I prefer not to write fics that follow in close relation to the plot of MHA. There may be exceptions to this, so don't hesitate to send in your ideas anyway!
