I either hadn't watched What Dreams May Come since the breakup or watched it through a different method than my own Bluray copy of it.

A love heart-shaped love note inside the Blu-ray case of What Dreams May Come. It reads "I love you with all my heart. I promise even through your own personal Hell, I will always be by your side. I promise you'll never be alone "

Life: Heyyyyyy buddy. I know you're feeling depressed and lonely on the 26th anniversary of your first suicide attempt.

So here's an old undiscovered love note from your ex you've been on almost no contact with for 2 years tucked inside the movie that you cry through almost every late February.

Looks like they're calling everyone to report you. So, evidently not.

I deleted all my online dating app profiles because I've genuinely given up.

Maybe I just need to move to Queens County.

I honestly love all these ridiculous Godzilla crossovers. Justice League. Power Rangers. Ninja Turtles. I don't expect any of them to be the next Maus or Watchmen, but by god, they're fun.

There's a Godzilla x Sonic crossover coming, too.

Well now, I'm SURE that's just a coincidence. 👀

And yet, once the lockdowns and restrictions started lifting, everything went back to as it was. Traffic ramped back up. People who liked and thrived working from home were forced back into the office.

Say what you will for Paris, but it's one of the few places that learned from Covid.

I often think of how Covid showed how some things COULD be, and yet it all reset like nothing happened.

Covid proved a lot more people could work from home than we were told before. That places like Los frigging Angeles could have clean air. That positive changes CAN be made.

Today is my "anniversary." It snuck up on me.

I don't know why I continue to recognize my first major suicide attempt back in 2000. But I'll probably do my annual tradition and watch What Dreams May Come tonight.

Achelousaurus, the centrosaurine ceratopsid. On his nose and eye ridges are thick boney build-ups called bosses. It has a large beaked mouth. His head frill has two large spikes at the top that curve outward. It's coloration is inspired by the bearded vulture. It's face is white with black sides on the muzzle with red rimming the frill. His body is red with a dark grey striping along his back and tail. His underbelly is white.

This is Achelousaurus, a centrosaurine ceratopsid dinosaur that lived during the late Cretaceous. Unlike most centrosaurine ceratopsids who had horns on their nose & eye ridges, Achelousaurus instead had thick bony build-ups called bosses. #CapsDinos #Paleoart #Dinosaur

Y'know, I gotta say. I recall seeing the first Scream movie, thought it was okay, but I can't for the life of me remember if I've seen ANY of the sequels. If I have, I don't think I saw any past Scream 3.

Hearing about all these bloody sequels makes me think I'm not missing out on much.

I've had a few of those. I was blessed enough that they named my novel. They wanted to share my book with a wide audience of readers. They were so excited at the prospect.

All I had to do was pay them $30 for the privilege.

It's like the DC vs Marvel shit. They're all professionals who respect each other's work, and have sometimes even worked together. Sure, there's some friendly competition, but it's out of mutual respect for the other's work.

Fan tribalism is just toxic nonsense.

Agreed, with one caveat: keep the victims' names redacted.

No wonder Trump walks so funny. It must be uncomfortable for his pants to be constantly on fire.

$110 Canadian, which is a little harder pill to swallow, but not wholly unreasonable for 3 4K movies. It's close to what I recently paid for the TMNT trilogy.

Me: Oooh, I've always wanted to own this trilogy as a box set.

Also Me: It's 4K from Arrow. It's gonna be expensive as hell.

Also ALSO Me: So shinyyyyy.

Me: Okay, Ruff. I finished watching the latest episode of The Pitt. I gotta get up and get ready for work.

Ruff: I missed the part where that's my problem.

Jinfengopteryx, the small maniraptoran dinosaur. The single fossilized specimen had plenty of feathers. It's hind legs had small sickled talons like many maniraptorans. It has a brown colored body with the tips of it's forelimb feathers and tail feathers a warm yellow color. It's standing up a little taller, it's tail arched up displaying it's large feathers.

Today's dino is Jinfengopteryx, the small maniraptoran dinosaur. While the exact timeline is a bit uncertain, it's thought to have existed during the early Cretaceous in what is now China. #CapsDinos #Paleoart #Dinosaur

I don't think anyone wanted Netflix to win. We just wanted Paramount to lose.

*sigh* Goddammit. I didn't want Netflix to win, but I wanted Paramount to lose.

Anyone know what this will mean for the comics division?

You're in a better place than I. While I have two books published, I pretty much gave up on writing years ago. Tried getting back into it multiple times and give up again.

Next: Burger King will introduce shock collars to their employees. If an employee is caught not smiling, they'll receive a small shock.

Wrong year? That's it, you're fired. Pack up your Bluesky desk and hand your badge in to security on the way out.

I'm just about to watch the latest episode of Shrinking, followed by two episodes of Scrubs.

It's a Bill Lawr-a-thon!
