A description of The Empty Ocean, or, The YouTube Play by A.J. Ditty. Text reads as follows: Hey, what’s up subscribers??? Crazy what’s been going on with V’s channel, right? Like, his best friend and long-time collaborator David just left YouTube for good without, like, ANY warning. Something’s off there, fam, I know it. And now they’ve brought on this new girl, Dalia something???, who I hear used to write for The Experiment, yeah, that HBO show about the clones or the aliens or whatever. But now they’re talking about “a new era for the channel” where they’re gonna start making “art”? or something? and I’m just like: whatever happened to the glory days of V and David just, like, blowing up cars with bazookas? Why is David vague-posting about some shady stuff V got up to in the early days of the channel? Why do I feel this emptiness inside of me, this roiling, echoing churn of impossible loneliness that threatens to consume my every waking thought? haHA Don’t forget to smash that like button. Please. Please like me. Please somebody like me. Anybody please please please please pl01se pl10ase p0101ase p01101000 01100101 01101100 01110000 00100000 01101101 01100101.

New play's up on NPX, if you'd like to give it a gander! It's about YouTube, ambition, and trying to make art while gazing into the abyss of capitalism. I have been given many reassurances by the zoomers that have read it that it is decidedly NOT cringe but only one way to find out!!!

Off the top of my head, probably a cover of Alanis Morissette ("You Ott-er Know") that would abruptly end with a voice recording of you saying "Ott means horse" in the style and cadence of a pharmaceutical disclaimer.

Oh hey LA friends, I've got a reading of my new play going up at @roadtheatre.bsky.social tonight at 7:30PM if anybody's craving a Greek tragedy about a content creator! It's even got the great @jakebeckhard.bsky.social behind the director wheel! Come witness the horrors!!!

theyre just all so fucking stupid and we were told we had to be respectful and treat their stupid fucking opinions seriously even though we knew its all bull shit and now here we are

this week we’re talking about the recently-concluded fourth season of THE TRAITORS with @notalawyer.bsky.social. don’t worry: we did grill him about crystal shrek. follow us now to hear it wednesday

Fuck dude, I'm so sorry! Get that thing outta there!!!

there really is something immensely clarifying about realizing that "death cult" is not an ironic or jokey term

On the record as profoundly and violently sick of this shit

Pippin looking especially regal next to all my bowls.

Key art for "Don't Hug Me I'm Scared" on Dropout shows its title along with its three principal puppet characters in picture frames.

one of my all-time favorite weird and wonderful shows - DON'T HUG ME I'M SCARED - is now on dropout!

full web series now; TV series (which less people have seen) over the course of the next few months. big thanks to blink industries, becky, and joe for their faith in us.

Genuinely shocked this wasn't me.

Hey LA friends (and enemies!) I have a reading of my new play, "The Empty Ocean" going up in two weeks and would love to see you there! It's about YouTube, ambition, and the ultimately destructive relationship between art and capital. It's gonna be a fun/weird time!!!

DIFFERENT. PLACES.

🎶 welcome to the hotel Normal Hotel
🎶 checkout with the clerk
🎶 that's how hotels work
🎶 plenty of room at the hotel Normal Hotel
🎶 we won't keep you here
🎶 that's a crazy fear

Absolutely the coolest thing. I hope y'all have a wonderful run!!!

TWOAPW #227: SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS

This episode is half sbout this movie, and half about the history of animation. Walt Disney put the world's largest team of animators through 3 years of hell to make his first feature. How did he get to that point, and what were the consequences?

norman rockwell's freedom of speech, but the standing guy has been edited to sit down

couldn't sleep so i made him sit down

Hokkun is a minimalistic orange mascot from Shimonoseki City, inspired by the oranges and sunsets there.

I will never stop talking about Alan Wake II.

@thefuzzymaskedman.bsky.social you’ve got me wanting to 100% KH1 and it’s a miserable life btw

It is genuinely unhinged how much of that process involves the continuous hitting of a mushroom man.

That's such high praise, I'm a huge fan of JP's work and of this piece in particular!

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

I’m currently listening to this and all I’m learning is that former emos and theatre kids love the boy with the big ass key.

Highly recommend.

I like Kingdom Hearts and am very normal about it.
