Autocorrect has become our worst enema.

After their self-titled debut, it took nearly four whole years for Zack, Tom, Tim, and Brad to release their second album. Problematic Rage gap.

At least Dredd didn't hide his name, unlike ICE agents.

I am quite proud of the spec script for a pilot that I wrote yesterday. Still needs to go through a couple of revisions after I get some feedback, but for a first draft, I think it's in a pretty good place.

Luca didn't like the cat tree in our bedroom, but he's taken to it after we shifted it to our home office. It's the tiny victories that make my day.

Sadly, I wasn't a Mad Cave Talent Search 2025 winner. (There's always next year!) In the meantime, if there are any comic editors out there looking for writers, I have two published stories that I'll be happy to share with you. waynereewrites.com/worlds-apart/ differenceengine.sg/comics/delay...

The crime of genocide didn't exist until after WW2. It was something we decided was real, needed to be identified and punished. Even if we've been spectacularly bad at putting it in practise, we conceptualised it. I think it's about time for a CEO crime of murder-by-Economy.

Gonna repost this 🧵 a fair bit over the next few days because, as my friends have (rightly) pointed out, I am nowhere near shameless enough when it comes to promoting myself as a writer. Comic editors! I am available for work!

People who say "we're wolves not sheep" have never seen two ewes trying to murder each other over relative status in the flock before they give birth, and then all their friends and family picking sides because being friends with the winner will raise THEIR status, until there is a massive brawl

Wayne’s work is absolutely great, I LOVED Work-Life Balance

Holy shit, that's gorgeous

Me, every time @nadiadaeng.bsky.social says that one of the things she loves about me is that I'm a writer.

there are 4 types of guys online. no exceptions

Contrary to what many nerds might say, this decision was Rian Johnson's greatest cinematic sin.

[Looks at watch] Me: Getting late. Tick tock. Hook: Christ you’re an asshole. Me: Ever wear Crocs?

[getting drinks with captain hook] Me: so what’s up are you still in a blood feud with that boy Hook: he’s not — we’ve been over this, he doesn’t age. I think he’s older than me Me: I’m just fucking with you how’s Smee

cursing my nerdiest enemies with “may your favorite software move to a subscription model”

God, I hope HBO Max actually has this here.

I Photoshop Paddington into a movie, TV show, or pop culture until I forget: Day 1709

I read Deena Mohamed's SHUBEIK LUBEIK before she visited for the Singapore Writers Festival and loved it. Then I heard her speak about it and loved it even more. And *then*, I was lucky enough to hang out with her and our friends, and now, it sits on a shelf with my favourite books and comics ever.

This is my very first memory of a Spider-Man comic—or of any comic or book, really. When I was maybe three or four, my aunt had a European hardcover collection of Stan Lee and Steve Ditko's issues, and I clearly remember flipping through it while the adults were downstairs.

Why do I wanna rewatch COWBOY BEBOP for the hundredth time, while I still haven't started on LAZARUS yet?

I've got a panel on 30 November, followed by a Secret Thing at the start of December, then I can just kick back and enjoy Singapore Comic Con. I'm really hoping for a quiet December.

This weekend—spent with new and old friends, and moderating easily the most unhinged, but also one of the most heartfelt panels I've ever been a part of at the Singapore Writers Festival—was just what I needed. I'll write more about it soon.

My two word review of Predator Badlands: Hell Yeah.

I watched WEEDS ages back for a couple of seasons, but it's on Netflix now, so maybe I'll finally finish it. It's still charming, but definitely feels a bit like a product of its time.

“People in happiest relationships have 5 things in common with their partner” Not a joke, one of the items was “interest in each other” We need to start over, man

Celebrate the smallest of victories wherever you can

Reading THE MIDNIGHT TIMETABLE now and, man, Bora's prose and Anton's translations are balms for my soul. Every single book of theirs is just a joy to read, regardless of how unsettling the plots are.

THE RUNNING MAN was overall pretty fun, but the pacing towards the end felt a little off for me. (SCOTT PILGRIM remains my favourite Edgar Wright film, based on its own merits, but also on the lack of TERF apologists/collaborators and sexual predators in the cast, as far as I know.)

Auctioneer: “Chinese 19th century cricket cage” Me: “…you know what? all right, sure, I guess putting a cricket in there is how you made it vibrate before batteries”

I can't narrow it down to *a* book. Best I can do is my top three: THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES by Ray Bradbury, PATTERN RECOGNITION by William Gibson, and TOWARD ETERNITY by Anton Hur.

The Bond-is-dead thing is easy to fix. Just reveal that there was a clone of him that's been exiled for the last five years. After James dies, he finally returns, but to differentiate himself, he'll be wearing a baby blue hoodie and going by a different name. That name? Bond. Bond Reilly.

You could be a mass murderer but as long as you did things for the capitalist economy there’ll be Singaporeans lining up to argue that actually on balance you did good Meanwhile Singaporeans will also say a mule should hang for smuggling a packet of drugs across the border once

Please please please tell me that there's at least one Japanese graffiti artist named Yankee Doodle.

Imagine this fellah 1000s of times bigger and out of focus. Im not saying i know anything, but, you know… 🤷🏻‍♂️

Repost with an iconic fictional band. (Look, their later stuff's neat and all, but the first two Gorillaz albums? That's the sweetest, Jamie Hewlettest goodness for me.)

I haven't been pushing WORK-LIFE BALANCE and HOW ARE YOU FEELING? as much 'cause I wasn't sure how much, if any residuals will go to my collborators and me, as opposed to Diamond's coffers. Come January, you can get WORK-LIFE BALANCE again all around the world, knowing that we'll actually get paid!

One of the very first short stories I ever wrote was about teenage me and my friends hanging out in town, while I tried to muster up the courage to tell a girl that I liked her. A small part of me wonders if I could rewrite that story now, with so much more experience as a person and a writer.

Wanna help with those vet bills? Please get a pdf copy of MR MEMPHIS and, if you can, pay more than the $5 minimum. I've got a little less than $200 in my Paypal account and I need to hit that $200 if I wanna withdraw it all without incurring any fees. gumroad.com/l/xcvVQ

Culling my pull list, so that I've got a bit of extra cash every month for Luca's vet bills and prescription food. Finishing some mini-series and picking up already reserved one-shots, but when I'm through, the only comics I'm getting in single issues are ASSORTED CRISIS EVENTS and ONE FOR SORROW.
