The new De La Soul isn’t just good. It’s laugh out loud funny.

While he’s certainly had influence in my personal politics, I’ve always thought this guy was a prick. His lectures and events felt condescending when they could have been collaborative and compassionate. www.wbur.org/news/2025/11...

This job runs you This day kills you This suit owns you This man tells you What to do From 9 to 5 You're not, you're not alive Pins and needles All the time Pins and needles Toe the line Pins and needles You're not alive Get in line to die

Just the worst Anthony Bourdain variant.

Resilient gratitude today for Mamdani’s win in NYC. There is some good still left in this world.

I just backed Dreamhouse: An Existential Suspense Graphic Novella on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/rob...

These jackbooted thugs should all get their very own Nuremberg.

The Kickstarter campaign for my first solo comic, DREAMHOUSE launches tomorrow! I am equal parts stoked and anxious. I've got 104 followers on the project, I would LOVE to get to 150 by launch tomorrow. www.kickstarter.com/projects/rob...

Happy Halloween! This is the last day of our October $2 eBook sale. Come the morrow, Nov. 1, you'll be out of luck.

For research I’ve been looking up the top 10 best sellers in the various horror genres listed on Amazon. I thought I was familiar with what feels like a niche community, but there are DOZENS of horror authors who I’ve never heard of and they're apparently selling lots of books?

Parents, please check your kids’ candy this Halloween. I just found this puzzle box inside a Terry’s chocolate orange, played with it for a moment, and a gang of black-clad, heavily pierced extra-dimensional beings showed up saying they have such sights to show me. Be safe.

Pondering the idea of a mini podcast/video channel that solely performs critical analysis reviews of short horror stories. Does anything like that already exist?

Lately I'm experiencing a surge in people, both professionally and personally, who won't accept "no" for an answer. Is this a side effect of our culture shifting to the right? Regardless, it's fucking obnoxious.

I may not be as vocal online as I'd like to be, but that's because I know how to-

After working in podcasting for several years, I have complicated feelings about "true crime." I've never heard a show directly address those before until Hush season 2, episode 2 by @ryanjhaas.bsky.social & @leahsottile.bsky.social. It's worth listening, to understand what we're participating in.

In his latest newsletter, @rushkoff.com provides a compelling argument for why our society is intentionally collapsing. open.substack.com/pub/rushkoff...

When I used to do this for a living, one of my colleagues referred to our job titles as "YouTube Goblins."

I've always loved Benny the Bull, but Sergio St. Carlos may be my new patron saint.

Before a movie today I saw an ad for AI that claimed "There's no better time to be alive" while playing a Mad Villain song.

Infinite Jest. The Entertainment. The Samizdat. "The film is so compelling that its viewers lose all interest in anything other than repeatedly viewing it, and thus eventually die." www.vox.com/future-perfe...

😂 This guy would get eaten alive in a junior high locker room. I'd love to see how "hardcore" he is against "gangbangers." He sounds like Miguel Ferrer in Robocop.

Nick Cave, my priest in grief, nails it trying to come to terms with our current state of being. "I am neither on the left nor on the right, finding both sides, as they mainly present themselves, indefensible and unrecognisable." www.theredhandfiles.com/where-do-you...

You goverment is executing random fishermen from other countries and hoping you don't give a shit.

Thinking about my friends in PDX. Stay safe. Resist smartly.

Five years ago, @brandyzadrozny.bsky.social and I did a story about rural Oregon's fever dream that Antifa was coming to their town from Portland. Hundreds showed up armed downtown because they heard on Facebook that "Antifa buses" were coming. No buses came so they said Antifa "retreated."

Really looking forward to this. Season 1 was excellent.

In Florida for a few days. Beautiful sunrise for the first day after the Rapture.

Yet another American grift. This explains why tickets to see Blood Incantation & Midwife last year went from $40 to $250 in less than a week. Honestly surprised the FTC has its shit together enough to catch this. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

Iron Maiden are going to have a hell of a time making "89 Seconds to Midnight" roll off the tongue.

If you had told 24-year-old me that I would someday go to the mat to defend one-half of The Man Show, a TV show that literally had girls called “juggies” who did nothing but jump on trampolines, I would have been like “huh okay maybe it’s not the best time to go into the feminism business”
