On My Way To New York Comic Con!

It’s that magical time of year, once again!

The New York Comic Con is upon us!

And once again, I plan to attend. As I am typing this right now, I am making my final preparations. I’ve got my pass, I’ve got my costume, and I’ve got a stack of comics that I hope to get signed by my favorite artists and writers.

There’s so much I want to see. And while I know for certain I won’t get to see everything, I’m confident it’ll be another wonderful experience to remember. I’ve documented my past trips to New York Comic Con before. Every time I go, I encounter so many amazing people and forge memories that I deeply cherish. This trip has since become a highlight every year. And I look forward to making this year just as special.

I am so ready!

New York, here I come!

Absolute Batman #1: Why It Absolutely Works And Why It Matters

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

DC Comics’ new Absolute Universe has arrived. An all-new, much darker DC Universe has emerged. And our first glimpse of this world unfolds in Absolute Batman #1.

It’s the most ambitious reinvention of Batman in years. And Scott Snyder really accomplishes something special with this first issue. I would go so far to argue that this is the most important Batman comic of the past 25 years and this new Absolute Batman is one of the most imposing versions of Batman we’ve ever gotten. Enjoy!

An Important Hypothetical Question To Consider (Before Any Debate)

I’ve been using the internet for a good chunk of my life. I’m old enough to remember the days of slow dial-up, AOL chatrooms, and messy Geocities websites. And while I don’t miss those days, there are certain elements of my internet experience that have remained fairly constant.

One of them has to do with debates. And if you’ve ever talked politics, comics, anime, or movies with anyone on any medium, you know how heated that can get.

Believe me, I know this as well as anyone. I still haven’t forgotten how heated some debates got on the old comic book message boards I used to frequent. Some want to say social media ruined discourse by making it too easy to engage in such debates. But I respectfully disagree.

This sort of tension between people always existed. Human beings have always had their share of strongly held opinions that they were debate, discuss, and defend far past the point of reason. It doesn’t matter how smart, educated, or well-informed they are. The passion with which they hold their views has always been strong. The internet and social media simply made it more prominent.

I’m bringing this up for two reasons. For one, I see a lot of debates and arguments online, especially in comments sections and on social media. I freely admit that I engage in some of that discourse. It’s rarely productive. And I’ve yet to meet anyone who has been convinced to change their position on something based on a point someone made in a Facebook comment.

Second, I live in the United States of America and this year happens to be an election year. Debates about politics, issues, and policies are bound to get more heated. And that’ll only escalate the closer we get to Election Day on November 5, 2024. I fully expect to see plenty of discourse that will make me lose my faith in democracy, the future, and humanity in general.

For those reasons, and plenty others I don’t care to articulate, I want to present a simple hypothetical to anyone seeking to debate others in any capacity on any issue, be it political or otherwise. It’s not a thought experiment. It’s just a simple perspective that I hope provides greater context into the nature of discourse. It goes like this.

You and one other person are standing in a room. You both hold opposite positions on a particular issue. You spend five minutes making your case to the other person. Then, the other person spends five minutes making theirs. You are not at all swayed by their argument and they are not at all swayed by yours.

But before you start any further discussion, a third person enters the room and pulls out a special phone containing critical, indisputable information about the issue.

In one scenario, the phone contains information that vindicates your position.

In another scenario, the phone contains information that completely disproves your position.

In which scenario do you actively fight for possession of the phone?

What I just described is situation that I hope adds context to the what, why, and how of debating others. Because if you approach this hypothetical in good faith, it puts you in a difficult position. Either you admit you seek vindication and are willing to fight for it or you actively avoid the implication that your position is wrong.

Call it confirmation bias.

Call it cognitive dissonance.

Call it an impossible scenario that will never play out because there are too many issues that cannot be completely verified beyond any and all doubts.

If you’re honest with yourself, you know how you’ll react in that scenario. And if you’re honest about how most people operate in heated discourse, you’ll know how your opponent would react in this scenario.

However you feel about what I just presented, I only ask that you keep it in mind as you engage in further discourse moving forward.

Sexy Short Story: Locker Room Loving

The following is another sexy short story that I wrote with the help of NovelAI. Enjoy!


Selina Marianne Prescott often stayed late after practice. As one of her school’s top track and field athletes, that was to be expected. But she’d always held herself to a higher standard than most. Being an overachiever was just how she was wired. Even as a kid, others often remarked how seriously she took something as minor as a grade school soccer game. But that kind of mentality helped her become a star athlete. It also promised to earn her a scholarship to multiple colleges. Many teachers, coaches, and peers believed she had a bright future ahead of her. But those same people often worried that she pushed herself too hard.

However, they didn’t know that Selina had her own unique ways of dealing with the stress. While she preferred to keep most of those methods private, as she had always been a private person by nature, one particular way had proven quite effective in recent months. And it had to do with her boyfriend, Richter Linwood, who happened to be another overachieving athlete on the school baseball team.

“Don’t stay too late, Selina,” said Coach Helena as she packed up the track and field gear. “At some point, even you have to rest.”

“I’ll be fine, Coach,” Selina assured her as she did a series of stretches near the end of the track. “I promise I’ll be rested before the big match this weekend.”

“I expect you to keep that promise. You’re too young and talented to burn yourself out.”

“I appreciate your concern. But don’t worry. I can handle it.”

Coach Helena shook her head as she finished packing up. Even from a distance, Selina could tell she wasn’t convinced. Her old soccer coach gave her that same look last fall. They all seemed genuinely worried that she pushed herself too hard. If only they knew how adept she’d become at managing the rigors.

Selina did a few more laps on the track until Coach Helena was out of sight. At one point, she glanced over to the other field to see that the baseball team was finishing up as well. Most of the team had already returned to the locker room to shower and change. Some had already left. But like always, Richter stayed late to do some batting practice. When it looked like his coach was ready to call it a night, he smiled towards her and waved. Selina smiled and waved back. It was a simple gesture, but it sent a subtle message that came in loud and clear.

“Time to hit the showers,” Selina said to herself, still smiling.

With the sun setting and the fields mostly vacant, Selina returned to the girls’ locker room. She only passed one other teammate along the way, Debra, who was on her way out and talking to her mother on the phone to pick her up. By the time she opened her locker, stripped out of her sweaty uniform, and retrieved her towel and toiletries, she was completely alone.

“Peace and quiet,” Selina mused. “Perfect!”

Humming to herself, she made her way towards the large group shower areas. It was still wet and somewhat steamy. Most of the team had already used it. She could even smell hints of the overpriced shampoo that Irene Waylon often used after practice. That didn’t bother her. She didn’t like showering around other girls in the first place.

After setting her towel aside, Selina turned the shower at the far end on and waited for the water to get hot, which didn’t take long. Once it was ready, she let out a content sigh and stood under the hot torrent of water.

“Mmm…just what I needed,” Selina said.

For a few brief moment, she just stood there and enjoyed the feeling of hot water flowing over her naked body. Being an overachiever, she worked up plenty of sweat and grime. Even though she was used to it, that didn’t make a hot shower afterwards any less relaxing. It was one of the best parts of her day. But it was hardly enough to relieve all the stress and strain she’d accumulated.

As she stood under the water, she heard the feint sound of the door to the girls’ locker room opening and closing. In most other circumstances, this would be concerning. She was the last one from her team to finish. But Selina wasn’t worried. Instead, she found herself smiling in anticipation.

“Might have spoken too soon,” she said under her breath.

The aspiring athlete remained under the torrent of water, hugging her shoulders and enjoying the feeling. A light steam had already built up in the stalls. She glanced briefly to her right to see the bottle of shampoo and conditioner she’d brought with her. But she held off on reaching for it, waiting another minute for what she hoped would bring some real stress relief.

Finally, she sensed it. Someone had entered the shower stall with her. They might have thought they’d been sneaky, not making a noise before slipping in through the cloud of steam. But Selina knew. And as soon as she felt a familiar figure approach, she didn’t bother hiding her reaction.

“Hey,” said a deep, masculine voice that had no business being in a girls’ locker room.

“Hey yourself,” Selina replied, not even turning around as she smiled to herself.

It was Richter. She knew that voice well.

She felt a hand on her butt, followed by a firm squeeze. A powerful arm wrapped around her from behind, another hand finding its way to her breast. He squeezed it gently, just in the way she liked it. Selina let out a soft, affectionate purr. This was the true relief she needed.

“Do you have any idea how much trouble we could get in for this?” he asked casually.

“I don’t like to think about it,” Selina replied, now leaning into his embrace.

“Do you care how big a risk I take? Sneaking in the girls’ locker room to be with my girlfriend?”

“Of course, I care. That’s why I like to make the risk worthwhile.”

With a devious grin, Selina turned around and embraced her lover. His naked body was pressed up against hers. She could feel his firm chest, his hard stomach, and the bulge of his penis between her thighs. He was a tall, fit, and handsome young man. She was a lucky girl. Being overachievers, they learned early on in their relationship how well they complemented one another.

He kissed her passionately, his strong hands exploring her wet body. His lips lingered on hers as his tongue snaked into her mouth. Selina didn’t hesitate to reciprocate, letting out an approving purr as her hands caressed his broad back. Their bodies pressed together and the water pouring down on them only made it feel better. It was almost as if they were melting into each other, the hot water serving as the perfect lubricant.

Richter’s hands slid down her slick back and grabbed her ass. The strength in his grip surprised her. She gasped at the feeling, her arousal getting the better of her. His fingers dug into her skin, squeezing her buttocks. It was like he knew just where to touch her to turn her on.

“Mmm…I’ve been waiting for this all day,” Richter said, kissing her neck.

“I could tell,” Selina teased.

“Oh really? What gave it away?”

“You’re not as subtle as you think…especially when you want me.”

He leaned in again and kissed her deeply. His hands moved to her breasts, grabbing and fondling them. It was an aggressive approach, but Selina loved every second. He wasn’t normally so forceful, but it was exactly what she wanted.

As their kisses grew stronger, his hands became bolder. He caressed her breasts, his fingers teasing her nipples. As his fingers pinched her hardened buds, she let out a deep gasp. That sound, followed by a lustful moan, got him worked up in all the right ways. He pressed his lips against hers and his tongue snaked into her mouth, probing and licking her lips. She moaned approvingly, her hips rocking subtly as the heat between her thighs grew.

“You’re really in the mood tonight,” Selina said between heated kisses.

“Are you complaining?”

“Not in the slightest!”

Her boyfriend chuckled as he continued kissing her. His hands roamed her body, groping and caressing her wet, naked flesh. She leaned into him, their tongues swirling in an affectionate dance. As their lips parted, he gazed into her eyes and smiled.

“Then turn around…bend over,” Richter said, his voice low and husky.

Selina didn’t say anything. She didn’t have to. She just gave him a seductive look and did as he commanded.

Turning away, Selina bent over and placed her hands on the wall. The water from the shower head continued flowing, raining down on her. The temperature was perfect. It didn’t distract her in the slightest. All her focus was on the powerful young man behind her.

Richter positioned himself behind her, his hands moving over her hips and along her sides. He kissed the back of her neck, sending a warm shiver down her spine. But his hands remained focused. They moved around her curves and found her breasts again, fondling and squeezing them. Then, one hand slid down her stomach and reached between her legs.

“Ohh Rick!” Selina moaned.

Richter’s fingers stroked the outer folds of her pussy. They were already wet, not because of the shower, but because of how turned on she was. Selina arched her back and gasped at the feeling. She’d been craving this since their last encounter and her body was showing it.

Her lover caressed her folds and teased her clit, rubbing and pressing them. He did it slowly at first, then a little faster. The added friction made her gasp louder. It wasn’t long before her body was shaking and her toes were curling.

“I love it when you get this wet,” Richter said, his words tickling her ear.

His finger moved up and down her slit, coating it in her moisture. His thumb teased her clit, stroking the tender bud. Selina’s knees shook and her hands clenched, her nails digging into the tiles. It was the kind of stimulation she’d been craving and her body responded in full.

Richter’s fingers moved with skill and dexterity, playing her like an instrument. They rubbed and pressed her folds, probing her depths and drawing out more of her juices. It was a beautiful melody of lustful desire, one that only he could create. And he could do it so easily.

“Mmm…you’re getting good at this,” Selina said.

“What can I say? You inspire me,” Richter replied.

“Inspiration is vital for any athlete.”

“But this is a special kind of inspiration!”

He stopped teasing her and his hand retreated. But instead of leaving her hanging, Richter’s hands grabbed her waist and lifted her off her feet. Selina gasped as her back was pressed against the tiled wall. He supported her with both hands, spreading her legs. His cock was aimed at her pussy, the tip rubbing her slit.

Selina’s eyes were closed. She didn’t have to open them to know what was coming next. Her entire body was primed and ready. Her toes curled in anticipation, her heart pounding. The tip of his cock nudged her entrance, her body begging for it. And when he pushed it in, she let out a long, loud, and relieved sigh.

“Oh yes!” Selina exclaimed.

“Selina…” Richter moaned.

Her boyfriend penetrated her deeply, filling her inner depths with his rigid member. It was the feeling she’d been craving, the stress reliever that worked better than any massage. His cock stretched her inner muscles and she could feel his girth pulsing within her. It was just what her body needed.

“So hard…so deep,” she told him, her voice low and sultry.

With a grunt, Richter pulled back and thrust into her again. His cock buried deep inside her, stretching her inner muscles and sending a wave of pleasure through her. She gasped and let out a whimper. It was just the start, but already her mind was racing.

He pumped his hips, pushing his length deeper and harder into her. Selina’s pussy was hot and wet, her inner walls squeezing his cock tightly. It was the perfect combination of friction and moisture, his cock throbbing within her. He grunted and breathed heavily, holding her tight and thrusting with purpose.

“Rick! Rick! Oohhh Rick!” Selina moaned.

The two young lovers were lost in each other’s arms. Nothing else mattered in that moment. The hot water flowed over their bodies. Their hearts pounded and their loins burned with passion. They were connected in the most intimate and sensual of ways.

Richter pumped his hips and slammed his cock into his girlfriend, the young athlete. He could feel her inner muscles clenching and releasing, gripping his cock tightly. He thrust deep and fast, burying his manhood inside her with each push. She was hot, wet, and tight. Her moans echoed through the locker room.

“Fuck! Oh God, Selina…so good!” Richter groaned.

“Yes! Yes! So good! I want this! I…need this!” Selina exclaimed.

Her athletic boyfriend picked up the pace. He fucked her faster, his cock throbbing within her. His hands were strong and steady. His legs were sturdy and his hips pumped rhythmically. With each thrust, she could feel the growing need within him.

Richter fucked her hard and fast. His hands held her waist, her back still pressed against the wall. His cock pistoned into her, his balls slapping against her. Their moans and the sound of their lovemaking filled the locker room. The water falling over their naked bodies only amplified the experience.

“Ohh yeah! Mmm fuck me!” Selina moaned.

“Gonna cum soon!” Richter said.

“Me too! Oohhh me too! I’m…so…close!”

Their bodies were hot and wet, their passion burning hotter. His cock was rock hard, throbbing with the need to climax. Her pussy was soaked, her body ready to receive him. Richter continued fucking her hard and fast. He held her up, his strong arms and muscular body working together.

“Yes! Yes! Ahhh yes!” Selina cried out.

“That’s it, babe. Cum with me!” Richter told her.

She was at his mercy. Her athletic body was at the height of her performance, her mind and body focused solely on their mutual pleasure. Her heart pounded, her breasts heaved, and her body trembled. The orgasm was imminent.

With one final, powerful thrust, Richter’s cock erupted inside her. Hot, potent seed gushed from the tip, splashing her inner walls. The warmth spread through her, reaching every corner of her being. That heat ignited a fire in her core and her orgasm followed shortly thereafter.

“Ohhh yesssss!” Selina screamed.

Richter kept his cock inside her, holding her tight. She shook and trembled in his embrace. Her orgasm was intense, her juices gushing down his shaft. He could feel her inner walls clenching, milking him of every last drop.

It was the kind of relief that only came from a passionate tryst, one born of mutual needs. Selina and Richter had grown closer over the years, both in and out of school. Their mutual passion for athletics and their drive to succeed had brought them together. In moments like these, it also drove them to new heights.

After a few more moments, their orgasms passed. Their breaths were heavy and their bodies were tired, but they felt refreshed. They held onto each other, sharing the same warmth and closeness. The shower still rained down on them, the hot water washing away all the grime.

“So…did I inspire you enough?” Selina asked.

“More than enough,” Richter assured her, leaning in and giving her a kiss.

The two shared another laugh and another kiss. For a moment, they stayed like that, enjoying the closeness. But eventually, Richter slipped out of her and Selina returned to the ground, her legs a little shaky. They still needed to wash up. They still needed to get dressed and catch a ride home. But for now, they just enjoyed this sweet, intimate moment in the girls’ locker room.

As athletes, they put in so much hard work, striving to be the best. But as lovers, they made that work all the more worthwhile.

Thought Experiment: What Is The Endgame For Human Civilization?

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

This video is another thought experiment that contemplates where human civilization is heading and where it will ultimately end up. Humanity, as a whole, has undergone many upheavals, collapses, and advancements over the centuries. But as far as we’ve come, there’s still so much farther we have to go. That raises the question.

What’s the endgame?

What is human civilization’s ultimate form?

try to explore that with this thought experiment.

Pumpkin Spice Is Back (And Don’t Be Ashamed To Enjoy It)!

I’m a simple man. If I like something, I try not to overthink it. So long as it’s not actively damaging to my mind or body, I’ll enjoy it on my own accord and not pay much mind to whatever politics or popular attitudes are aligned with it.

Trust me, if you make it through middle school and high school being open about your love of Pokémon and superhero comics, you can be relatively confident in the thickness of your skin.

But when it comes to something as innocuous as pumpkin spice, it feels like the internet and meme culture have given it a less-than-flattering reputation. It tends to happen whenever the calendar turns to September. That’s when you notice that all things pumpkin spice showing up in grocery stores, along with Halloween decor. It just went along with the changing seasons, becoming this thing we in the United States associate with fall.

And it’s true that some companies go overboard, trying to incorporate pumpkin spice into damn near everything. But that’s nothing new for profit-seeking companies. It’s not their fault that we keep consuming pumpkin spice, nor is it their fault that it tastes so delicious. Rest assure, they wouldn’t keep overhyping it every fall if it didn’t help their profits in a non-insignificant way.

That still doesn’t stop some people from bemoaning pumpkin spice as this inherently insufferable seasonal phenomenon, associating it with annoying yuppie stereotypes who make ordering lattes at a coffee shop akin to arguing their Masters Thesis. That’s not to say those people don’t exist. I’ve met those people. They can be annoying. But I’ll gladly endure standing in line with them over those who just exist to complain about everything and everyone during every season.

I suppose it also helps that I, personally, love pumpkin spice as a flavor. I’m also a big fan of pumpkin spice lattes, in particular. Whenever I’m feeling restless or lethargic in the morning, I’ll treat myself to a pumpkin spice latte and immediately feel a little better. I often do the same if the previous night was rough and I didn’t get much sleep.

It’s not a political statement or a surrender to the trends dictated by our cultural and corporate overloords.

It just fucking tastes good. Can we just leave it at that?

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to get myself a pumpkin spice latte and I’m going to enjoy it.

My Fellow Americans: Please Vote (And Be Proactive About It)!

My fellow Americans, it’s almost time.

As stated in Title 2, Chapter 1, Section 1, of the U.S. Code, Election Day shall occur on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November. That means on November 5, 2024, it is the civic duty and responsibility of eligible adult citizens of the United States of America to cast their vote for their next slate of representatives.

I know most well-informed Americans are already aware of this.

I also know many of those same Americans are probably sick, tired, and frustrated to no end about the current state of politics in the United States. I count myself among those Americans.

But no matter how angry or irate we are about the current state of the discourse, it’s critical that we vote. It is one of the most tangible measures of influence that we, the ordinary citizens of this Country, can have on the direction of this country. It’s how we, as a nation and as a collective, make our voices heard. We may not always agree with those in power or how they conduct themselves in guiding matters of law or policy, but our votes are what enables their efforts.

And sadly, the simple act of voting has been subject to plenty of complications. The history of voting rights in America has been anything but ideal. In recent years, political polarization has resulted in numerous efforts to undermine or hinder voting for certain populations. It varies from state to state, but that’s exactly why now is the time to be proactive about voting.

As I write this, Election Day is still weeks away. For some people, they haven’t planned that far ahead. They haven’t even figured out what costume they’ll wear for Halloween or what they’ll have for dinner three days from now. For those who have a regular job or work multiple jobs, just making the time to vote might be daunting.

But that’s all the more reason to start planning now. If you’ve just stumbled across this website or somehow clicked here on accident, consider this an impassioned plea.

Be proactive!

Make plans now!

Make a concerted effort to vote!

If you’re not sure what the procedure is, use whatever resource you can to register or obtain a necessary ID. One of the best resources that I’ve found, which helped me a great deal when I moved to my current home, is Vote.org. It’s a simple, straightforward web resource that can be accessed on most any device connected to the internet. And it’ll give you the information you need to register to vote.

Again, it varies from state to state. Some states have more paperwork and legal loopholes than others. And some are a lot less scrupulous than others when it comes to ensuring eligible citizens can vote. Regardless of their stated reasons for doing so (which is almost always political and self-serving), I encourage everyone within these states to do what they must to navigate these obstacles, even if they seem absurd.

Some of those absurdities might take more time than others. Even for those that don’t, voting might still be challenging, simply because if work schedules and personal/family obligations. If your state allows early voting, then this is the perfect time to look into it. If you simply need to make accommodations at work or with family, this is the perfect time to plan for that, as well.

Whatever you have to do, go ahead and do it. The sooner you do it, the less stressful it’ll be. And, most importantly, your country will be better in the long run.

I’ll say it one more time for dramatic effect.

Go to Vote.org and learn what you have to do!

Vote, my fellow Americans!

Make plans now!

The future of America literally depends on it.
