Ahhh... that's so funny! Yah that's my real advice! I didn't know they were going to put that out there, I think I wrote it for them a couple of years ago. Kind of funny, thinking that anyone is going to read my advice!

Hello folks, have created a post about a couple of recent contest wins via @freefallmagazine.bsky.social in their prose contest! Thank you, FreeFall! This is incredibly meaningful, especially because these stories are at the polar opposite edges of what I write.

Pure legend, that guy. Never seen anything like it. I don't think anyone has. Have to appreciate it, no matter how anyone feels about the team, we are seeing greatness at an epic level just now. Really interested to see how he does in the World Series.

I mean, is this how people felt when they saw Babe Ruth play? I think maybe so. Ohtani is legend.

I promise, I'm not paid to support any movie, but I am going to go out of my way to support this one. It was fun, it was different, it had some important themes, and I totally dug it:

Tron: Ares is a worth being mentioned in the same breath as Blade Runner. And it's incredibly entertaining, so go see it. In a movie theatre, because it needs that space.

Intruder β€’ Trent Lewin I woke up at 3:30 am. There was a noise downstairs. Plastic rustling and maybe a drawer being closed.

Watching baseball, reflecting on the day's events, and on a tough night... this is what I came up with.

I have a question for you.

That’s such a shame. But understandable in the present circumstances.

Wolf Alice Establishes Themselves as the Greatest Band in the World β€’ Trent Lewin Wolf Alice is the greatest band in the world. I suspected this but didn’t fully get it until I saw them in Toronto on September 23rd, 2025, at History. Yes,

The best band in the world? Wolf Alice. Argue with me if you want, but I saw their concert in Toronto on September 23rd, and there's simply no arguing the fact anymore.

I have a comparator band to them... controversial comparison, but there you have it.

A Review of Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir β€’ Trent Lewin I’m so busy right now but I make time for reading, so just finished Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir.

I get anxiety because I don’t even know what the Discover feed is! Is it like a cult, or just a reading circle with a banjo in the middle???

Yah... think I'm a bit obsessive about reading the really great stuff a few times, over the years! I'm even worse with movies! Or is that better... I'm not sure...

A Review of Wolf Alice's 'The Clearing' after One Listening β€’ Trent Lewin Why would I post a review of Wolf Alice's 'The Clearing' after one listening? Because I wanted to see how I felt immediately. I got into Wolf Alice on the

It's the day of the wolf.

Wolf Alice has released their new album. They are best band in the world, and have been for a decade now.

This is my take on the album after a single listening. My thoughts will evolve with multiple listenings, no doubt.

A Chunk of Ice Slips Down the Glacier to the Black Beach β€’ Trent Lewin Yes, a chunk of ice slips down the glacier to the black beach, as though these are common things. My previous post on Iceland.

Definitely going to go back here one day, because there's nothing else quite like it that I've ever seen. A truly truly unique, almost unbelievable country: trentlewin.com/2025/08/12/a...

You are nothing. Screaming random nonsense means you are not relevant. No one is listening, including me. There is no point in further responding to you. I pity you your ignorance.

You have no idea what you’re saying, do you? Random words shunted together to make yourself feel smart in the midst of a sad and uneducated existence, it seems. You are irrelevant.

I should probably forget my PhD in engineering and take my opinions from some lonely person on the internet. You have convinced me!
