Trying to become a good steward of my writing after 25 years of not caring enough about it to title my documents was not what I envisioned for myself this year.

Our buddy @bjcolangelo.bsky.social needs a little help from her friends (and I'm a bully). BJ needs what is, essentially, a full mouth replacement thanks to cancer radiation. We can't eliminate the dental trauma, but we can help with the life-altering debt. www.gofundme.com/f/bj-needs-a...

One day it’ll be trans people up there on the global stage destroying the dreams of England.

The Birth Rate Is In Decline vs. Let’s Criminalize Being A Trenager

No new episode this week, but that means you’ve got time to catch up on The Patron Saints of Sick Sons of Bitches. Three wrestlers! Five episodes! Ten stars!

The amount of stuff we talk about on this podcast is outrageous frankly.

This one is popping off so I decided to make the whole piece free. If you like it consider signing up to BIG EGG. You get all of this and a bunch of my better half @josephweirdness.bsky.social too

I interviewed Max Subar about his @mergerecords.bsky.social debut, which drops Friday. chicagoreader.com/music/gossip...

Love that Sluggo dreams of being the subject of a Heathcliff strip.

As always, @colettearrand.bsky.social with some wonderful writing. What makes this better is that Goldberg has said that he walked through the curtain and was immediately introduced to a Make-a-Wish kid who was traumatized because his hero violently destroyed an old man cancer survivor.

Talked about Goldberg/Duggan on @patronsaintspod.bsky.social, and now on BIG EGG, where I got into more detail about what makes it work, which is ol’ Hacksaw. The other matches on Nitro are also there!

A new ep of Empathy at the Apocalypse is up! Josh & I host Colette Arrand! Lots of movie talk, lots of wrestling talk, lots of fellowship! Listen wherever you get your shows or at Apple Podcasts via the link below. @sweatycyborg.bsky.social @colettearrand.bsky.social @empathyapocalypse.bsky.social

No amount of “do not speak ill of the dead” discourse can prepare us for the long-awaited day when they put JK Rowling in the dirt.

Alright, let's see if this works. partlygarbage.com/2026/07/13/e...

Someone should write a story about a curséd device, lusted after as a transformative source of power, that renders its users unnaturally youthful long beyond their time

L7 forever.

Producers, politicians, hospital administators all enabled one of history's most abhorrent monsters, the only hero in this story is a professional goddamn wrestler.

One reason I refuse to buy into or give credence to the “Lindsey Graham was gay and hated himself” stuff is because it allows straight people to indulge in the old tropes of celebrating the shamefulness of homosexuality.

Getting into a feud against Amnesty International is usually a step towards UN sanctions against an autocratic ruler but now it’s part of the press junket for an HBO show everyone dreads.

This is pretty well known, but the Australian flag Sam Neill wore on his uniform in Event Horizon was designed at his request to show the Union Jack replaced with the Aboriginal flag, because he hoped in the future this is how it would actually look. A proper fucken ally in every way, this bloke.

JUST IN! 'Anything Could Be' by Max Subar: Debut album from the Merge-signed singer-songwriter, here teaming up with Case Oats members with a folk, Americana, and slowcore LP with shades of dream pop and ambient. www.normanrecords.com/records/2158...

Can’t wait until people are vandalizing YouTube comment sections to say shit like “here because of Patron Saints” or whatever

Saw Excalibur. Love that Morgana’s plan was to armor her son in such a way that he looked like a transfeminine model with a forthcoming H&M campaign.

We did it, hell yeah. Here’s to 10,000.

Not to pander but we are *really close* to reaching 1,000 streams, so if you haven't had a chance to listen to our latest episode, maybe you'd like to spend your Saturday afternoon with a bad bitch (Megumi Kudo)? tr.ee/p4byMZCjgS

May a brief, sudden illness take them all

My web hosting service foolishly gave me “unlimited” storage when I signed up for it in 2008 so it’s time to gorge on jpgs

As an artist at his level playing what I assume is a seated show Charley Crockett would have been more effective in preventing his fans from being exposed to satanism by having Twin Temple play.

Good morning. It's Saturday and these are still for sale.

It’s been a long day without you my friend and I’ll tell you all about it when I see you again

The last time I made a blog I a) paid someone else to do it and b) didn’t have to deal with mobile design, I hate this lmao

Coney sauce (Detroit version), loose hamburger, raw onion, mustard, ketchup. Lucky to be alive tbqh.

David Lynch’s The Straight Story is a midwestern epic.

Posted this kinda late last night. I’ve got more in the tank on this match and the angle surrounding it but it’s one of my better BIG EGG pieces of the year.

Please give Muscle $10,000 so I can beg them to write an essay about Pumping Iron II: The Women.

RIP Bonnie Tyler. And RIP Tandi Iman Dupree. This remains the best stage entrance by a drag queen of all time, even some 25 years later, and the best use of Tyler’s “Holding Out for a Hero” ever. youtu.be/IHQA5vqn6rw?...

MOTHERFUCKERREDEEMER Now available on Bandcamp and eventually subvert and not streaming. It's messy and loud and my vocals are all over the place but I loved playing these songs and wanted to share them with you all. Here's to another year of being drink sober and being normal about it.

I put together an overview of Tugboat/Typhoon/Shockmaster’s career for @patronsaintspod.bsky.social that you can watch now in preparation for the coming episode about him youtube.com/playlist?lis...

They’re really gonna force me to have a whole-ass blog again 😔 variety.com/2026/digital...

Really admire Ernie Bushmiller for knowing that the soul of comedy is having one devastatingly attractive smokeshow live in a town full of weird little freaks.

Wrote about one of my favorite wrestling matches, what makes it one of my favorite wrestling matches, then tried to evaluate it without the weight of Dusty’s “View Never Changes” promo. 🤼 www.bigeggwrestling.com/nasty-dreams...

@murderxbryan.bsky.social have you seen Mancow vs. Jimmy Hart?
