My newest acquisition.

One of my all-time favorite movies. Saw it in theaters for the first time about ten years ago when I lived in Portland and it was breathtaking. Can’t wait to do it again.

FUCK

important to revisit the words of the Founding Fathers on this day

My mood today

My newest acquisition.

America keeps trying to get me to go to her birthday party and I’m like no girl u need to go to the hospital

If you like Blood Incantation or Wayfarer, you gotta check out their drummer’s symphonic black metal side project Stormkeep, which recently put out a killer new record called THE NOCTURNES OF ISWYLM. Very reminiscent of vintage Emperor or Dimmu Borgir in all the best ways.

I am so sick of that gross AI-generated paintbrush font used for every single flyer or promo image I see. The children yearn for “graphic design is my passion” aesthetics, because at least that shows some fucking effort.

Who else seen the InfoWars Elf say yeeeaaahhh

Really digging EVERY HOUSE WE BUILT, the debut album by Exploring Birdsong. Heavy yet lush (they don’t have a guitarist and use synths to fill the low end), filled with powerful melodies anchored by a hell of a voice in Lynsey Ward. The opening track “Archipelago” hooked me almost immediately.

I hate pretty much everything about what's going on in this modern world, but I'm also kind of honored to be able to be a living witness to what surely has to be the stupidest period so far in all of human history

This is a thread of my photography, which still gets continually updated from time to time. Feel free to take a gander at some (what I think are) cool shots!

Happy Canada Day! Rush is the greatest band in the history of music and there is nothing anyone will ever say to disabuse me of that notion.

July #PromoSky I am Riley! Here’s me in a nutshell: 📍 #Denver ✒️ fiction #writer 🤘 #metal & #prog dork 🎮 #Tekken fighter (Reina main) 📚 #book reader (especially lit & Japanese fiction) ⚾️ #Rockies follower 🥋 #martialarts film fan 📸 amateur #photographer 🥃 #whiskey aficionado 🐈‍⬛ #cat dad 🥁 #drum nerd

I’m sure I’m far from the first person to realize this, but imagine how amazing it would feel if It Happened on July 4th.

It sure is nice waking up and remembering that I live in a place that will be represented in Congress by someone who reminds me that a better world is, in fact, possible.

MELAT KIROS!

A fun part of having a witchy girlfriend is having to wait an extra day or two to make lemonade because she has to make moon water first.

Thrilled to announce that my purple jalapeños are coming in!!!!!!!!

LeBron James shocks the entire sports world by signing with the Colorado Rockies.

Anyway, fuck the Supreme Court.

Judging from some of the images I’ve seen, I feel reasonably confident that I’ve performed stand-up for crowds larger than that of the America 250 state fair.

Two and a half years of climbing the ranks and I made it up to God of Destruction I (the highest is level VII) in #Tekken8 tonight.

ELITE GRIFTERS: I have it on good information that Riley Fox, who claims to be poor, once bought tacos from Jack in the Box twice in a day.

Much has been made about the Viking “row!” chants by Norwegian World Cup fans but actually Swedish Viking metal band Amon Amarth has been doing it since before then, including when I saw them at Red Rocks two years ago.

METS FANS, UNENLIGHTENED FOOLS, WATCHING THEIR TEAM COMMIT SIX ERRORS IN ONE GAME: can you believe this shit?!?! ME, INCREDIBLY WISE, HAVING WATCHED THE ENTIRETY OF THE ROCKIES 2025 SEASON: ah,

imagining a grizzled hardboiled detective saying this while gripping some guy's lapels at a shady bar

I don’t know how I only just found out today that Danny McBride wrote a short story collection but I really want to read it now.

The Oregon Coast is magical.

Midnight arcade

The Best Pet™️

Don’t have kids but I had to do dad cosplay for Father’s Day at the Rockies game.

I saw this happen in person and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a crowd at Coors Field go nuts like they did for this.

The Colorado Rockies gave away a free soccer jersey at the game tonight and I gotta say I dig ‘em.

Oh hiiiiiiiiiiii!

Went to the park to read a book earlier today and I can confirm that there is nothing better than seeing two dogs walking together in which one is a big doofus and the other is a tiny asshole.

A beautiful night at the park.

I don’t follow stand-up as closely as I used to during my performing days but the new Patton Oswalt special on YouTube is fantastic. Love that he filmed it in a smaller venue too (Comedy on State in Madison, WI). Worth the watch!

It’s clear that we need a bold solution to fix the reflecting pool. I propose we drain it entirely and refill it with Mountain Dew Baja Blast.

This is kind of fantastic: Ribbie lets you watch actual MLB baseball games "rendered pitch by pitch in a cozy 8-bit view while they happen”. [kottke.org]

This year’s summer thiccboi:

One of the best cures for a rough therapy day is a heaping order of butter chicken, I tell you what.

Really enjoyed this article about THE FURIOUS, which is one of the coolest martial arts action movies I’ve seen in years.

Found out that EastBurn, one of my favorite spots from when I lived in Portland, closed a few days ago. Lots of memories from my time out there. I’m gonna miss that place (and especially the Übersandwich).

Rush 30th Anniversary Tour concert shirt from 2004, opening night. It’s got so many holes now that I’m afraid to wear it because it would likely disintegrate, but it was the beginning of my lifelong collection of Rush t-shirts that now runs thirty deep so I’ll never get rid of it.

Book #23 of 2026

That was one of the sickest martial arts action movies I’ve seen in some time. If it’s playing anywhere near you and you like that sort of thing, make an effort. Worth it.

Seated for THE FURIOUS and I am furiously excited.
