"Notes is dire. Earth doesn’t need LinkedIn desperation at Twitter length." -- Headshot.

Coincidentally, I've decided to become a pro wrestling heel on Notes, which is something you, me, Michael, and others could probably have some fun with. I've already started a fake beef with Carlos which has 1) livened the place up a bit, 2) provided cover for me to hurl invective at the platform and its users, and 3) duped some people into hitting subscribe.

Good work, Notes needs a few solid Pedigrees through the announcer table. Or sledgehammers. Whatever dose it takes.

Most of my Batman knowledge comes indirectly via the Tom and Jeff Watch Batman podcast. I don't have time to watch Batman, I'm too busy listening to the podcast.

Anyways, I vote for plant witch. I like plants. I like the earth. The Scarecrow is good too but he's too spooky!

And so Scarecrow continues to suffer from success.

Two questions:

1. What's your vertical jump?

2. What is your current hat?

My current favorite's a gift. A surprisingly tasteful Gundam Unicorn logo on the bottom right corner of an all-black snapback. It looks like a sports hat, and carries the spirit of dork. I dig it.

Mr. Dayle, please answer the first question or else plead the fifth.

I’ll do it after my opponent releases his taxes.

Pigeons are the comic relief of bird entertainment.

I just heard the term "spoofing" the other day. Is it just "spamming"'s sinister cousin who looks like your friend and talks like a boring version of your friend who asks for money?

I once dreamed of owning the Stockfiction.com URL, but apparently, I'm too good at coming up with kickass names for websites cuz that was gonna be PRICEY to lease. At least there are no other Meg Oolders on the planet to compete with.

Very pleased to see Poison Ivy in the lead. She's my alter-ego's spirit animal.

That's exactly it. Spam that that puts on a nice costume and skips acting. I guess you could call it Community Theater fraud. Or Netflix fraud.

Playing with url variants is its own maddening art. I remember the Penny Arcade comic creators collecting variations of the site name over the decades like Infinity Gems.

Ivy's doing numbers! As the temperature climbs, she's enjoying a pronounced Magneto bonus.

Thank you! I honestly love the challenge of that section. Wild times have let me be a little more flexible there.

The eye trained in Miami seeks a coffee window in that Times Square substation, and is sad to find it missing. Lawristas.

Add it to the towering list of disappointments.

Someone at Motherhaus should suggest a brand realignment.

Dude you are the best at what you do. Except I'm not sure what you're doing. Can't tell if it's my fault or yours so back to ponderin'.

I'm a basic bitch, so The Joker. That reminds me that my kid wants to shop for a new Batman backpack today. Target, don't let me down!

My favorite "Old Town Road" cover is Anthony Vincent on YouTube doing it in the style of Nickelback, which works way, WAY too well.

I'm a big fan of The Pigeon kids books by Mo Willems, and I totally plan on buying every new one for as long as he puts them out, even after kiddo has outgrown them. I don't live in a pigeon-heavy area (crows are probably my most sighted bird, aside from all the robins) but when I see them on my very occasional city visits I try to imagine the picture book version and it's very amusing to me.

Honestly, I most detest seagulls. I've been pooped on way too many times and they will straight up steal your lunch from your hand. Vicious bastards.

Your kid’s got great taste.

Nothing wrong with basic–there’s a deep well of classic Joker stories. I wish the series “Bedlam” had gotten to continue, it was a fun take on a Joker archetype.

I’m going to look up that cover, it sounds like a quality laugh.
