I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

The only ethical use of AI is to create a deepfaked cut of Tron 3 that replaces Jared Leto with Tim Robinson released to torrent sites the same day it premieres in theaters

A BRAND NEW music video for "Walk the Dinosaur" is OUT NOW!!!! Journey to 65 million years ago with us and @twrpband.bsky.social!!!!

I was invited by my pal @bwecht.bsky.social to be on his podcast LEIGHTON NIGHT and it was an absolute HOOT. You can hear it (Episode #287) on most platforms, but you can also *see* us goof off in the video version by subscribing to their Patreon (cheap!) Find it here: linktr.ee/leightonnight

At least some of you know me via the little radio show I do or my label. That show turns 20 next month. If it's meant something to you or your kids, I'd love to hear from you for inclusion on the show. I'll also donate to flood relief for each submission. Some history and how to get in touch:

11yo got a hold of my wife’s phone this morning

Had enormous fun talking with @bwecht.bsky.social and Leighton Gray about tech bullshit, the writing process, Easter eggs, Star Trek, They Might Be Giants, the worst Harry Potter fanfic, bizarrely horny transhumanists, @learnedleague.com, and dril. shows.acast.com/leighton-nig...

I’m playing a record release show this Fri (Mar 7) in Pasadena - come check it out! (Also listen to the album by Hasco Enjoyments, it’s great)

10yo (from other room): Dad! DAD! DAD!!!!! Me (rushing in): What??? 10yo: Can EVERYONE see Beetlejuice ALL THE TIME?

The most TASTEFUL tour in the world (Ninja Sex Party’s Pure Elegance Tour) is SELLING FAST! Come see us and TWRP make music LIVE and IN FRONT OF YOU!!!

Can’t remember if I posted this anywhere else but here is the one good video I ever put out on TikTok

[willem dafoe unprompted] now, this cookie monster. [toothy smile] what a creature, what a lust. it consumes him. [crosses legs] he’s really a tragic figure.

Thank you to everyone who’s been checking in on us. My family is safe and we are very lucky that our house has not been directly threatened by the fires.

are we all on the same page about how if Xenomorphs ever start talking they should do so in a Wile E Coyote / Brain Gremlin voice

please tell me you read this the way I’m reading it

My 2024 in music: - Three full length albums (one each from NSP, Starbomb, and Go Banana Go) - One greatest hits album (NSP) - One smooth jazz holiday EP (Trey Magnifique) - One Xmas single from the Leighton Night podcast - Six week tour w TWRP - Bunch of Trey M dates

my 10yo recently said to me “what if every country on earth has ninjas but we only know about the japanese ones because they’re the worst” and I can’t stop thinking about it

Wishing you & yours a smooth, tasteful Christmas

So many tv shows and movies focus on characters' traumatic backstories, but the backstory that explains the personalities of half the guys I've ever met is just that they saw Scarface or The Big Lebowski in middle school.

Can’t believe I never calculated this before, but apparently my Erdös-Bacon number is 6 (Erdös number 4, Bacon number 2). Sabbath number seems harder to figure out but I would guess 4 or 5, via a session player on an NSP album

It's nearly time to reveal my Quote Of The Year 🥳 In preparation, here's last year's one: a corker, from The Guardian 🤣

it’s that time of year when your favorite podcasts all release multiple episodes that are each 3+ hrs long, aka “completist armageddon”

A Christmas song parody, courtesy of my 10yo: Last Rizzmas I gave you my gyatt But the very next day You Fanum taxed it away This year to save you from tears I’ll give it to someone more skibidi

We’re past Thanksgiving, so *it is now acceptable to listen to holiday music*. Might I recommend the new Trey Magnifique album? lnk.to/letitblow

Somebody at a con asked me to draw Totoro, and I said I could do it from memory. I nailed it* on the first try. I've been drawing Definitely On-Model Totoros at cons ever since. I published the best* ones under my rallying cry, "I Am the Best at Drawing Totoro." maki-naro.square.site

It’s pretty rare for a video game to captivate all three members of my family equally, but we all REALLY loved Astro Bot. Audrey even beat the Grand Master Challenge before I did, and won’t let me forget it

Today's random record I'm listening to: "Cool Patrol" by Ninja Sex Party. Never listened to them before and I say as a neutral statement that it sounds like Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool recorded an album

At the park with my 10yo, who just screamed “EVERYBODY INTO THE OCTAGON”

I’m doing shows in LA, NYC, and Boston next week. You should be there.

this is good writing (see it performed at SARDINES, 11/24 at 9pm at The Elysian Theater)

New holiday jazz album out now! You don’t need to like jazz, holidays, or music in general to enjoy this one

My kid is now at an age (5th grade) where her math homework drives me insane bc THAT IS NOT HOW MATH PEOPLE THINK. Fellow academics, how did you deal with this? I do it by having her give the “right” answer and then discussing why the problems are ill-posed or misleading

I think there should be more Klingons with funny names like “M’atlaq” etc

I am so excited about this
