Hire siddhant their work made me cry more than once this year

anyway if you want a good mood for New Years Eve I always suggest YOU ARE LISTENING TO for full staring out onto a snowy cityscape with a glass of vodka and neon light shadows youarelistening.to

My twelve-year-old daughter's Christmas haul included a cassette Walkman and a Discman, and music to play on both. Yes, part of it is STRANGER THINGS. But part of it is the seemingly inevitable swing towards throwback tech, coupled with the current longing to be LEFT ALONE TO LISTEN TO SHIT

So we might have room for two (2) freelance articles in January at @certifiedforgot.bsky.social, and if that goes well, we'll discuss what February could look like internally. Going to leave this up for just a little bit and see what happens. certifiedforgotten.com/pitch-certif...

I’m David Milch. So. I’m good with this.

All the towns between Vegas and the California border are built on a revenge-based economy. This sign remains one of my favorite.

I am not complaining, I genuinely think it’s really funny that they keep doing it, but my girlfriend’s family, I think don’t really get the “alt comics” adjacent aspect with my work and every year for Christmas they just get me Garfield merchandise.

Mass Effect style dialogue wheel except the only dialogue options ever offered are "No, yeah, for sure." and "Damn, that's crazy"

Heading into 2026, I'm still looking for fulltime or contract work as a senior writer or narrative designer. If you need someone who can write sharp characters, poetic prose, and emotional stories, I'm available! You can find my portfolio here: www.hazelmonforton.com

“I’m sick of being the tallest man in town, all you people ever ask is ‘how’s the weather up there’”

imho follow the sports game model and name them silent hill 2026, silent hill 2027, etc

movies prepared me to be wrongfully accused of my wife's murder much more often than it's so far happened

Against somewhat overwhelming odds, I finished writing and editing my third book, and I'd love for you to sign up to be alerted when it's available for preorder: beckbook.com

Doing my annual viny fundraiser for those unhoused and hungry in the KC area. Rare/well-loved items up for sale through the Discogs website, and every dollar goes directly to area organizations. Looking for something for yourself/friend in the soundtrack/rock world? www.discogs.com/seller/riots...

Really love @abbyolcese.bsky.social’s film writing, especially when it takes the arguments we have in an AMC parking lot in the middle of the night and replaces my doomerism with Bible verses. Good shit: crookedmarquee.com/bugonia-wake...

first thought this morning "where are Ghostland Observatory right now and I wonder if they're a good hang" youtu.be/GmKPuUu-6oE?...

being a rich tech guy in the 90s must have been so sick. every morning you start a web page that sells ring tones, sell it at lunch for 2 million dollars, get dinner at a “sushi” restaurant and go to a night club wearing a cologne called Apartheid Sapphire

I’m only slightly exaggerating when I say that this stuff* is the highest level of expression *pushing forward into foreboding dark passages (Here, ROUTINE)

Hi new followers! If you don't already know I have a new game coming out on January 22nd! It's a narrative adventure set in the year 2003 where you are a young writer trying to make sense of the world: store.steampowered.com/app/2088810/...

Disco Elysium - The Final Cut is free on Internet Archive for the foreseeable future.

"This is just like the prisoner's dilemma," I think, as I'm devoured by some weird ball thing for your entertainment.

Sony’s Japanese MiniDisc ads with Jamiroquai

I don’t think any video game studio will ever top SEGA’s 2009 Christmas Card

This is such a lovely and sweet story.

“Capitalism”

For your holiday ambiance, I've made a hypnotic yule log fireplace with ultra slow motion macro footage of flames stretching & warping like liquid as fire reacts with calcium chloride & barium. This is real fire I filmed, not CGI or AI. 10hrs, 4K, crackling sounds, no music, no ads. Happy holidays!

Y’all, the Castlevania: Awakening In The Moonlight musical by Takarazuka Revue is available legally on VOD with subtitles starting today until the end of March, this is a great adaptation and the women in this show are so good, PLUS this is a rare experiment globally Please see it if you’re curious

there's a scene in the springsteen biopic where jeremy allen white can't move because he's literally floored by the Suicide album and why didn't they make the entire plane outta this black box

when you're mean to the menswearguy this is who you're being mean to

I stay on the Lodge Cast Iron mailing list so I can read things like this and say "that's right, king" out loud to an empty room

Dudes Rock

Tonight you’ll be visited by three spirits

I sing the boys a little Sinatra number tweaked to how I know they weren’t abandoned in a dumpster on earth, but rather that they’re just visiting from their home planet of the moon, and I know they’ll go back someday. Teddy Rosen made us some mixed media art to keep this moment forever. :) :)

This studio awards-season email is really matching the current mood in a way I’m not sure they intended.

Don’t get into a long-running gift war with @brockwilbur.bsky.social because he will commit to a bit harder than you could ever possibly imagine.

this season i’m wishing you and yours a few small holiday cheers

I kind of like this whole “We won’t buy your liquor but we will air your state-suppressed news stories” niche that Canada’s apparently carved out.

cyberpunk isnt futurism its history

So everyone's watching the 60 Minutes that was supposed to be banned and everyone who knows how PDFs work can unredact the Epstein files, it's like the Christmas spirit has irony poisoning this year

Important news for the Bluesky userbase (37-year-olds who went to the free Prospect Park shows every summer): Wolf Parade has the No. 1 song on Spotify right now because it's in the gay hockey movie.

The New Year has assured me that it will only attack if provoked.

ah so no one at AP is a Queens of the Stone Age fan, missed opportunity

@ultrabrilliant.xyz blaming you for the first thing I’ve had to pay The New Tariffs to get

After a two year hiatus, I return to writing words about movies with the most-marketed film of the holiday season www.thepitchkc.com/josh-safdies...

'Magic balls' installed by drones could conquer US market thanks to game-changing performance: 'It's never been like this'

Sorry if this is a bit personal but does this shit make anyone else feel completely fucking insane
