ok you guys probably have enough of NYers waxing nostalgic today, so instead i'll post some amazing pics of the new WTC http://t.co/qQTqbSnP #
if i were in charge of the world's branding my first act would be a rebranding to matthew ECONOhey #
somehow boingo has managed to offer free wi-fi the one month i'm NOT traveling #
TOMORROW: @offsetcomics unveils DESTROYER #
also apparently when you say you're not traveling for a month you are tempting your phone to ring and prove you wrong #
i wish i could think of a sarcastic way to congratulate my friend @Justin_Marks_ http://t.co/2VloMi6k on the sale of his new ABC show #
instant messenger has become like the hole in the tree for venting things that you shouldn't say on twitter. #
getting weird spam addressed from people in my facebook friend list who i know don't have your email address. #
ran 2 different anti-virus, changed my FB password. no idea how to fix it. #

some excellent futbol posters by @zoranlucic http://t.co/egkPrLO1 link via @brianazzarello #
is there an actor who more actively courts the douchebag vibe outside of his roles than this man http://t.co/oshT3e7P #
my job means every day i get to text the most ridiculous idea i have in my head to @EricCanete to simultaneously motivate and horrify him. #
i think everyone would agree the best way to spend a weekend in 80+degree weather is packing and moving boxes, right? #
is setting the house on fire an effective way to pack? #
thousands of comics on the stoop for recycling. bummer because i shouldn't've pulled them all from diamond, relief to be free of the clutter #
(it's like 8 years of comps, it's not like i pull thousands of copies of all my books) #

comedy guys: is there any kinda weekly equivalent of LUNA these days in NYC? what’s the place to go these days? #
Tomorrow: the DEATHFACE-signal. watch @offsetcomics and you will see how much you want one. #
show of hands: who wants a DEATHFACE t-shirt http://t.co/QrxhHj9I #
congrats hollywood you are now officially the herpes of entertainment http://t.co/y6viQE9P #
this week has taught me that some guys should never talk ABOUT much less TO women ever again. #
that thing where people write a narrative for you in their head about things you don't know or care about #
it's spelled ARITHMETIC, internet #
the internet has forced me to inadvertently friendly-fire @samhumphries with my spelling joke. this is what happens in obama's america. #
There's a gay Democrat organization named after Confederate General Stonewall Jackson? #
wait didn't we as a nation officially decide not to listen to any more john kerry speeches #
jokes aside: DAMN john kerry. shoulda given speeches like that 8 years ago. #
i keep expecting the vice president to call someone a dingus #
pavlov’s politics- pretty sure that’s the music from his acceptance speech. #
the lincoln part about being driven to your knees… i'm impressed by the reference to his failures. you don't see that much in this context #
it should be pointed out today that MSNBC, FOX and CNN are all terrible but CNN is extra-terrible. #
if you're anything like me you should NEVER check your history for youtube links lest you see how many youtube links are in your history #

"I'm a little worried about Chuck Norris but i'm really waiting to hear what Dog the Bounty Hunter has to say" -Tom Brokaw. #
best way to get from bklyn to williamsburg (also in bklyn but not connected to any bklyn trains) is through manhattan. in obama’s america. #
debating going in for a day to visit my friends at the baltimore comic con this weekend. in obama’s america. #
i think sometimes "indie" comics are made with the understanding that people respect budget constraints & forgive low production value. #
i think that understanding is a bunch of bullshit. #
comics all cost more or less the same amount. yours either measures up to the rest of the work on the shelf or it doesn't. #
this one's for @skottieyoung "When A Kickstarter Campaign Fails, Does Anyone Get The Money Back?" http://t.co/gtLwq1al #
dig if you will a picture: of @EricCanete inks being painted by @NicKlein #
stop making fun of chuck norris you guys he's 72 years old, the darkness he sees coming is probably cataracts. #
“@ChuckNorrisWig: I don't know how but me got dandruff! #obamacare ?? #
frank quitely is the best reason 307: he has an autoresponder apologizing in advance for not responding to your email. #
gov markell probably shouldn’t ever try public speaking again. or speaking again. #
sacrificed HD & switched to CSPAN to watch the speeches & not the editorialization. likely no one has ever tuned to CSPAN on purpose before. #
right now the convention hall is being misted with red bull #
whoa, CHRISTINA? dems are really working the latino vote this year #telemundo #
is this the first time we've seen cuban spanglish on the national political stage? #
actually a super huge deal to get a cuban on stage, especially THAT cuban. though most latinos are liberal most cubans are not. #
go @geoffjohns “@attackerman: DC Comics gave a Green Lantern ring to an American Muslim falsely accused of terrorism. http://t.co/90bmfXYR ” #
i think rahm emmanuel has a boner #
clinton always did know how to work a room. even a room with a few hundred million people in it. #
“@hodgman I believe, in fact, Clinton was just nominated United States Fertility God.” #
whole thing is well played. i firmly believe that trying to distance himself from clinton lost gore his election. #
“@scottEweinberg: I will pay Bill Clinton $5,000 to re-write Prometheus.” #
“@CharlieChu: Every time a politician describes 2 different possible futures in this election, I immediately wonder which one has Robocop” #
