I was puzzled for a moment about why DHS would release the phone footage from the murderer's point of view, since it clearly shows that the murderer was in no danger from the victim.

I made a brief post on my website looking back on my writing accomplishments for 2025 and thinking about what comes next. I’ve also made a list of some of my favorite books, movies, etc. from this year.

2025: Stuff that Happened in a Year of Sucky World News, Matthew C. Brown
It's hard to feel like your creativity matters when the world seems like it's going down the tubes little by little every day.

This will sound like a joke, but it's not. When TWO "Minnesota Nice" politicians drop the F-bomb in front of live cameras, we're at Defcon 1.

Here’s all the books I read in 2025. This list does not include reading The Two Towers not once but twice to the kiddo. I’ve quite the TBR lined up for 2026 and it’s only going to grow because there are A LOT of great and exciting books coming out.

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes. If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

4am wakeup call from the kiddo leads to lying awake brainstorming a new story idea and intermittently rolling over to type notes on my phone. Will determine viability when fully caffeinated.

Helldivers 2 is the first game in a while that feels like it’s completely overtaken my life and every time I think I’m taking a break I play some insane mission with a guy named Taintimus who is SO into that I’m compelled to keep playing.

I’m stoked to share that I am one of three Third Place winners in the Weird West Quick Draw Flash Fiction contest! “The Cons of Counting Eggs” is set on the same planet as Song of the Raptors and my short story “Pepperdam Luck”. The raptors never left. They’ve always been ready to ride.

Thinking about how cool it would be if
@bioware.bsky.social
made an anthology for Mass Effect in the style of the Star Wars From a Certain Point of View books where each story is from the POV of a minor character. I’d be willing to contribute *wink wink nudge nudge*.

I love Andor but I wish people would stop using it as an excuse to dunk on other Star Wars films/series. It’s okay to not like all of it and to critique, but not all Star Wars should be like Andor.

Several authors I follow are cancelling visits to the US, and I cannot blame them at all. If you’re getting mad at/unfollowing said authors, I’m going to assume you voted for the reason they’re cancelling.

At the end of the day, every argument that attempts to defend the Confederacy/perpetuate the Lost Cause myth is null because they wanted slavery. No monuments or honors should exist for the people who fought to perserve that institution.

I’m loving Daredevil: Born Again for many reasons, but if the reveal of THAT tattoo at the end of Ep. 2 is setting up what I think it is, then wow. What a ballsy move.

I like Letterboxd for tracking my watchlist but sometimes it epitomizes what I dislike about user film reviews that rely on number/letter scores. So many feel like they’re fishing for likes, offering up a number score followed by a written “review” that reads like a meme.
