Sending my Good Thoughts!

Bedtime for Bonzo and Germany

Make “proper” tea like the Brits

Maybe in 2026 we can start to agree that "a complex algorithm selects content" is an editorial stance and platforms should be responsible to a certain degree.

I used to steal so many lines from book

The 2024 election was a cost of living election and a referendum on the failings of the Biden administration, and the main theme of 2025 was people mistaking that for a total cultural victory for the far right and acting accordingly, to the horror and confusion of average Americans

Whatever recognizable irony my current name used to have has completely withered

Thinking of rebranding as jeremiahslop

Birthday-month twins!

Avoiding Marty Supreme spoilers before I finally see it tomorrow

When my pharmacy calls and leaves a voicemail it always transcribes as “Dwayne Reid” who I’ve decided is a famous country singer

Get well soon!

I have one video I’d really like to finish. Other than that I should probably bite my tongue

My mom still holds a grudge against Boone’s Fish House in Portland, Maine because they didn’t have high chairs in 1982.

2016, I moved to New York and got married to a woman I met because I posted a video online. If this pattern continues, 2026 oughta be one of THOSE years.

2006, I started making YouTube videos, which spiraled into a decade of adventures I never could’ve dreamt.

1996, I completed my first public access TV show, which won an award and set me on a path toward film school. I had my first girlfriend AND my first heartbreak, leading to a decade of steady heartbreaks.

The exception is probably 1986, because I was only 6, but let’s assume that’s the year I learned how cartoons are made because it’s probably true.

I recently noticed that years with “6” in them are the most significant years of my life. For better or worse, they set the tone for the decade that follows, and kind of snowball into what happens the following decade. So, bracing myself for that.

I was so excited when Amtrak finally went all the way to Maine and 24 years later I’ve never taken it because it doesn’t connect at South Station

the whiskey’s flowing like poetry tonight

Got used to New York where nobody bats an eye if you complain about weather

Maine Uber driver made fun of me for saying it’s cold. I forgot we don’t do that here.

I love that Vince Gilligan sounds like southern Mickey Mouse

I never used this app much because it didn’t provide sufficient levels of dopamine but now I’m medicated so I should try again

Judging from the range of responses I’ve seen, I think this is exactly how some people would behave.

March 1st, 2025. Canvassing to get a local assemblyman’s name on the ballot to run for mayor.

Man this has happened to me so many times, I genuinely don’t know how I still have mine

As a Mainer I’ve been feeling all kinds of things lately
