His popularity certainly fluctuated over the years, and when I was a kid, he was thought of as pretty corny, but when he put out that cover of Soundgarden's Rusty Cage, suddenly, he was the coolest old man on earth.

I generally draw on my ipad using Clip Studio Paint. I use Procreate from time to time, but typically CSP is my go-to.

It's ok they were a antifa cartel person

Temu Patrick Bateman is the opposite of what we need.

I remember pretty recently Late Night With The Devil getting pretty roundly lambasted for using AI to make a title card. People definitely care

yeah, but maybe, just maybe, one of them will hit and the rest will fall into place. That's what I tell myself as I start my next novel anyway.

Okay y'all, he's wrong, but he's also a creative powerhouse. It's a shame, but he's done more than any of you people calling him a hack or whatever. So maybe let's keep some perspective.

Oh wow.

I saw an interview with the songwriter about the song when it came out, but I had no idea they actually recorded it.

I agree with @splendorr.bsky.social that it's better as a Joan Osborne song.

Very cool though. Thank you for sharing! Hearing it 30 years after learning about it is weird!

(it was a Joan Osborne song...)

Fun fact: that song was written originally for The Crash Test Dummies, but they didn't end up doing it. I can really picture how that would have sounded, though.

In cast you didn't know I ate a gummy a couple hours ago so if you're wondering why I'm glued to the internet atm

Don't Come Around Here No More is the sexiest Tom Petty song.

I'm glad Christopher Walken is taking it easy. He deserves to chill.

I had to look at that for too long before I understood what I was seeing. PRECIOUS

I'm old enough to remember when that movie Crumb came out and everyone watched it and then were just like, depressed for a week. If you ever want to just feel like garbage, watch that movie.

Don't get me wrong, it's great. But it's friggin bleak.

that is a gorgeous drawing

I just said a few minutes ago that I was going to be more positive.

So with that in mind, I'd like offer that Scorsese and Spielberg and even friggin Georgie Porgy Lucas are still okay in my book.

I've heard just about enough from Francis Ford Coppola and Ridley Scott.

Was completely on purpose

He's going to Walter Reed to meet the troops and maybe, you know, do some other stuff. Nothing really. It's the troops plus possibly other stuff, but like, regular stuff. Not dying stuff. Just like, standard super old guy who eats McDonalds every day and has been visibly rotting kinda stuff.

no friend of mine

When I was a kid, my biggest dream was to have Wolverine claws.

It is now, too, for that matter.

I didn't think about it at the time, but in retrospect, it was pretty bro-y.

I've gotta resit the urge to start every post with "man..." and "dude..."

Both because it's gendered and also because I'm appalled by everything so much of the time, but I don't have to share it.

I'm gonna be more positive. Not for flowery self-help reasons, but just because it's exhausting.

Remember that movie Baby Girl with Nicole Kidman?

That movie friggin ruled and think more people should talk about it.

It's almost like the old Joy of Sex illustrations, except with much neater pubic grooming.

Oh, hi! Thanks for asking! I'm working on my next book, Scout's Arrival. Well, next after next. I still have to finish my last book.

Anyway, this is about a pop singer who also kills people and drinks their blood.

Also, every time I've written a character based on myself, it's been a woman. It just works out that way. All of the characters that I actually care about in my books are women.

I don't know what to do with that. I don't know why I am that way. I just relate to women so much better.

I gotta tell you something.

I'm pretty comfortable with my gender identity. Yes, I feel like it's boring, but it is what it is, and I'm cool with it. I have no pressing need to be in a different body.
