Reading a book by Werner Herzog, as opposed to listening to the audio version narrated by him, is made only better for the fact that in my head it is narrated by my own terrible Werner Herzog impersonation.

Watching The Wizard of Oz. This movie is fucking insane.

Predator Badlands review: Finally a Predator that learns to love a CG monkey friend. What I hated about the previous films was they didn’t have enough jar jars.

I hung out with a raccoon.

It always bothered me when people laughed while watching ZIM. All that time I spent trying to warn humanity with my admittedly astounding cautionary tales and they LAUGHED. Well I tried. Sure I failed spectacularly but I tried…

Scoopin’.

My oral surgeon has been playing the theme music to Halloween the entire time I’ve been here. If he doesn’t come out in a blood spattered Michael Meyers costume I’m not paying.

The last time I visited Columbus Ohio I was forced to eat a hot pocket for the first time. It was sad and it still haunts me. I’m back again and I’m scared I’ll have to do that again.

I’m on a plane again goddammit.

I never really looked at people before. What’s up with their faces?

A nice little thing I like to do is keep raisins in my pocket to hand out to strangers when out in the world - you never know what someone’s going through and if a single raisin can keep them from losing their shit, then it was worth it. #raisins

Successfully extracted from Atlanta. Thank you, everyone who showed up to support and consume my award losing stew at StewCon. People even dressed up in weird costumes to see me but that actually worked out alright since they could be filled up with burning hot stew. Much appreciated. #dragoncon

I don’t care what the official bullshit is from the White House, there’s no way those black bags they’re dumping aren’t full of Trump’s cankle meat. They can’t dump them fast enough - no sooner do they fill up a bag does two bags of meat regenerate. #canklegate

Did a panel today about why people still like INVADER ZIM after all this time despite it being a known fact the show causes mental deformities and almost always gives viewers ‘stupid eyes.’ Pretty good turnout and the lights made it easier to ignore their hideous eyes.

Do not fear the thing on the wing. BE the thing on the wing.

Oh shiiiiit! Hollywood’s Brent Spiner is on my flight. That’s a good sign.

On my way to the airport and being weirded out seeing that there’s other people out at this hour. What are they all doing?? They all look so miserable. Oh god, do I look like that? Am I also… people? #dragoncon

Dragoncon adventure update: set my alarm for 6am for the airport portion of the quest. DID NOT SLEEP. I fear this whole thing.

Huh. So I’ve NEVER looked at my mentions here. I’ve missed a LOT of things. Sorry, friends who are now dead but why the hell are you sending me cries for help because your car flipped and is on fire via Bluesky mention? Not smart!

Behold this beautiful trash warlock!

How do people not know they can reset themselves to the factory settings by pressing in both eyeballs for 15 seconds until they hear a beep?

Steven King wrote a short story about a guy who mistakenly gets delivered a Kindle that has access to every book written across the multiverse, books from alternate reality versions of authors. I want such a device just for all of the infinite Margaret Atwood’s alone.

I enjoy fun space opera stuff but mostly for watching - movies or television, but I’m never drawn to that sort of thing when it comes to reading. It’s always more interesting when there’s a purpose beyond just entertainment, stories that leave a mark long after I’m done with the book.

More real life things should come with quantifiable achievements. Thanks @kylevogt.bsky.social!

Recent nonfiction books I have absorbed: ‘Strongmen: Mussolini to the Present’, ‘The Great Mortality’ and ‘Men Who Hate Women’. Authoritarian leaders, the black plague and incels.

Now I LOVE the original ALIEN movie, but it’s not perfect (unlike the ORGANISM itself. HAHAHA!) and something that always bothered me was its lack of a twangy guitar solo. Thanks for finally giving me that, ALIEN EARTH.

When did every “scary” supernatural being in horror movies have to be so crunchy? Every hand movement, every head turn is always accompanied by so many crunchy tendon/bone sounds. I’ve been present for several real life mummies coming to life and even they weren’t THAT crunchy.

I just ravenously ate a bunch of raspberries off of the floor like a goblin. Call me, ladies.

I don't like that even the Xenomorph, one of my favorite film actors, is reduced to guest starring on a tv show now. #alien #xenomorph #gueststarring

The saddest of all particles.

In an episode of Chief of War, Jason Momoa weaponizes a baby pig. 5 stars.

Shabu shabu at your seat was a terrible idea for this movie theater.

CXC is honored to welcome Jhonen Vasquez! We’re so happy for the opportunity to make this happen!

Okay NOW I'm feeling something for ALIEN: EARTH. Initially, after decades of getting sadder and sadder about ALIEN in general, I was dead inside and was mainly interested because of Noah Hawley. The new trailer is doing some serious heavy lifting. #alienearth

It’s very nice what they say about me but if I’m perfectly honest, sometimes I’m not talented. Anyhow, I’ll be at that thing! A special guest! ME! Finally I’m special!

A friend just told me I sound like the Cart Narcs guy and now I’m wondering… AM I the Cart Narcs guy??

DID YOU KNOW? Everything that happens in the movie after this scene isn’t real. He died there. #invaderzim

Oh my god the wordplay in the name 'BLUE PRINCE' just now hit me. Blue Prince? BLOOP RINSE?? I get it.

Okay, so… according to this nightmare ai image, the secret to reducing dust mites, which… apparently nest in your nostrils, is to send in an army of isopods?

You know how when you finally stop working and the only person awake is THE NIGHT SKUNK?

Scott Pelley—American author and reporter for CBS News for more than 31 years, did not hold back

What’s the next classic game series they’ll mash a parry mechanic into? Parrying a ghost in Pac Man would be pretty satisfying - a well timed button press initiating a zoom in on Blinky’s horrified eyes as Pac Man deftly slices his blade across ghost-throat meat.

Bought a 2024 Razer gaming laptop. $2500. Three months out of warranty the hdmi stops working. Cost of repair from Razer? HALF THE PRICE OF THE LAPTOP. #razer

Really feeling the lack of Mick Gordon in the new DOOM.

Almost stepped on a dead rat today and noticed something odd just as I was going to walk away. Drag marks. Someone moved the body from a previous location, possibly to make it look like an accident. I think that rat was murdered…

The name ‘Jizz Jar Binks’ came up in conversation today.

I think I dreamed that somebody told me they liked my socks.

There's creative... and then there's creative genius that comes together to create something truly unique, lovable, and iconic. We're so excited that creator @jhnenvee.bsky.social and writer @erictrueheart.bsky.social are coming to #DragonCon2025 regale us with everything Invader Zim!!

The most stressful part of any modern documentary is when they start simulating the phone texts and you keep checking your phone in a Pavlovian frenzy.

I am going to create a living, feeling bio-shell to transfer the sum total of all that is Microsoft Onedrive into so I can stab it in the face for all eternity. I hate you, Onedrive.
