An early heads up for anyone doing holiday shopping soon. I know not everyone likes to use Amazon but if you are going to purchase something there please consider doing so through my affiliate link here. I get a small percentage when folks order through my links and it would be a great way to support me!
Second:
We’re so excited to start working with @BRIANMBENDIS! pic.twitter.com/v1tgsMaNTr

The news reads:
We are beyond thrilled to welcome Brian Michael Bendis exclusively to the DC family with a multiyear, multi-faceted deal. He’s one of the premier writers in the industry having created so many unforgettable stories wherever he’s been and we can’t wait to see what he has planned for the DC Universe.
The Liberty Science Center, where I spent many a day as a youngster, invited me to be a guest at the opening of the traveling Star Trek exhibit, the Starfleet Academy Experience.

Between Bendis coming to DC and the booting of the Superman editor, DC is looking to have some interesting changes
I thought I’d have another Speak, Nerd, and Enter! up before this but it’s been a busy week so dropping this here in case anyone missed my big news!

Oh sweet! Congrats! I thought it was cool when I noticed your comment on that Fantastic Beasts article, but you being part of (or maybe in charge of? I can never get the whole editor seniority thing figured out.) one of the biggest nerdy news sites of all time is just awesome!
Thank you! Rob Bricken is directly above me and there’s Gizmodo hierarchy too if we want to get specific but I’m excited!
Congrats! Rob is good people, and a fun editor to work with!

43% now that it’s “officially” out. **sigh** …Can they maybe hire Fiege? I’d love to see what he and his team could do for Superman, seeing as they did such an amazing job with Captain America.

What’s going on? Well….we’re whalers on the moon…
So I am officially headed to Chicago on Saturday for that Oracle play! It’ll be my first time in the city, which will be cool. I was thinking it’d be fun to write up a review on my old Oracle discussion board, but it seems Disqus deleted it since I all my links are 404s. :(
In other news, election night at a newspaper is EXHAUSTING. I managed to miss last year’s because I just happened to have that day off, so this was my first experience. The plus is that it’s evidently tradition for the boss to buy pizza for the newsroom, so I got free dinner plus an excuse to wear one of my favorite shirts: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/715aAQwHJTL._UL1500_.jpg (with matching socks: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0205/2636/products/pizza-knee-high-socks-2_1024x1024.jpg?v=1406750764 )
omg that is some awesome gear!!! Have so much fun in Chicago!
LIBERTY SCIENCE CENTER, WOW. I remember many a school field trip trying to fumble around the touch tunnel!
I remember doing the touch tunnel once and being like “dear god how long is this?” Though their IMAX was always awesome.
I’m working from home today, so there’s no one to stop me from being the most Me I can be. See below.
But that Bendis news almost seems as fake as Donald Trump, CEO of America. I don’t know what to make of it! It’s neat, tho.
And the Star Trek event – what’s that like? I missed out on the Star Trek Experience when I lived in Vegas and I’ve never forgiven myself… https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/df5a5d3b4fc0d787e5bd132ac497197037d97dc6b098d26067b39003f1438864.png
The Trek experience was pretty cool. It’s interactive so you get a little scanner watch that you register with and then check in at their different set ups. It’s meant to tell you which part of Starfleet you’d do best in. (And props and costumes also mixed in for viewing) I didn’t have enough time to hit up all the areas so this is skewed but here’s what I got emailed to me at the end. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/1bb253e1f3c98e8c221125b1bdbe566c7e411f25d6ecb322e31dc45166642ad2.png
Look at you, Nu Janeway! That’s wild. As long as I didn’t have to wear a red shirt, I think I’d be happy.
OMG, I haven’t been to LSC in YEARS. That looks so fun.
So much has been updated obviously but it still looks super fun. Wish I’d had time to check out all the regular stuff too.
