Everyone that hates Oz Perkins’ The Monkey is wrong. That movie owns

Reddit’s good sometimes

‘Guy,’ meaning “person,” comes from Guy Fawkes. Boom.

This week's post is about the death of one of my favorite Podcasts, Knowledge Fight. It was about two friends who sat around and talked a little about Alex Jones. It's not really about writing, but I still felt the need to write about it. reddreddington.wordpress.com/2026/05/06/t...

I feel myself slipping down into the hole of becoming a “paperback book collector” and if anyone stops me I’m blocking you

I haven't watched the new Star Fox trailer, is Star Fox in it?

How much time can I waste formatting a spreadsheet for purely personal use. Surely a few more hours right?

Books based on video games have the best “Are we the baddies” ass names. I love this

As a kid, I always felt bad for Dean Koontz. He and Stephen King were stocked on the same genre shelves, so close in name and writing period. While every King book got turned into a movie, Koontz felt like he got left behind. Anyway I just read Night Chills and it ruled

New on the blog this week: I went to the used bookstore and then wrote about it. Partly a haul post, partly a review post, partly a simple post about bookstores. reddreddington.wordpress.com/2026/04/30/a...

Blogs gonna be a little late this week due to some family being in town. Probably tomorrow!

I'm usually pretty confident with things like this, but these days I'm checking and rechecking my voter registration like it's a package I can't wait for to arrive

Ooo, that new Diablo IV expansion came out. Take a hike, work obligations, I got monsters to click on

Here's a fun thing. When you create a whirling morass of scandal and terrible decisions to clog up the news, people numb themselves to it. Then when you try to use a near tragedy for your own gain, like that dumb ballroom, no one cares and it doesn't even move the needle

Eh. I’m skipping this one

Ever borrow a book from the library because you remember people talking about it but then you realize that you weren’t sure if people liked it or hated it? Anyway time to see what Flesh by David Szaslay’s about

This weeks blog is about Andy Beshear telling Democrats to "speak like humans" and why that's an expression of utter cowardice. It's about how we shape language and how language shapes our thinking reddreddington.wordpress.com/2026/04/22/t...

A new ongoing feature by @scotttobias.bsky.social launches today. Extremely Online. You'll love it. And this one is free for everyone:

Gimme. Gimme the movie.

Oh so the remake of The Running Man owns bones huh?

It's a 4/20 miracle

Good morning 😎🖤

What I find interesting is the way these folks always want to police language, but never actually engage with the ideas behind why advocates want to change the language. We think in language. When people say "Don't say that" what they mean is "Don't think that."

Lord help me I'm looking at lots of vintage sci-fi paperbacks on Ebay

I wrote a quick response to an article from Lit Hub called What We Lose When We Gamify Reading. My experience has been way different. I've been reading more and wider. reddreddington.wordpress.com/2026/04/16/w...

I'm trying out The StoryGraph as an alternative to Goodreads because Goodreads kinda sucks. Anyone else on there?

Buddy. I wish

Thanks to everyone being weird about the band Geese today youtu.be/Phh3oVCtzBg?...

This guy got stripped of a hard earned world championship title for some petty bullshit and put out the most level-headed, tempered statement I’ve ever read. Big props

You know, if you told 19-year-old me in 2006 that twenty years later, I would care more about what the Pope said than about the headliners at Coachella, I just don't think I would have believed you

Time for the birth of terror. Me

Hell. Yes.

Today, I was going to write about something fun. Then some dipshit threatened to end the world so I guess I had to write about that instead. Maybe next week will be fun reddreddington.wordpress.com/2026/04/08/a...

Listen. I think the word “antipope” is funny. That doesn’t mean I think installing one would be a good idea

Blog post might be up a little later than usual today. Had to pivot because of the threat of armageddon.

Okay. Now I can get back to not writing for the usual reasons

Boy, I was gonna write a blog post for tomorrow about something fun I did yesterday, but I've had a REALLY hard time concentrating today for some reason

Space IS the place

Depluralize a movie: The Dirty Guy (1967)

Shoutout to all the brunch chefs out there right now

The greatest

Had a dream where Jon Hamm and John Slattery were both mad at me and I couldn't tell if they were joking

This is going to be the worst movie ever made

I'm finally getting around to reading Thomas Pynchon. About halfway through Inherent Vice I realized that this is probably an insane book to start reading Pynchon with.
