I’m only on board if Optimus speaks with Peter Cullen’s voice before putting a hand on your shoulder and saying “You sure you want to do that, chief?”

Very. The answer is “very”

(to a certain type of guy anyway)

And all the poorer for it, I’d say. Cept actually it does sound like a fun time.

Downtime: Crafting a Big Mess into Something Useful Trying to do something with a dead mantis in Kal-Arath

Just how interesting can it be to try to make a helmet out of a giant mantis head while laying around with a bunch of wolves?

TIMES SQUARE LABUBU

Congratulations! Your TIMES SQUARE ELMO evolved into LABUBU!

You could sneak up into the playground next door and see watch the live nation shows through the fence though. Pretty sure I did for that Wilco show. And Sonic Youth’s Rather Ripped show

I loved Eddington, then I talked with Hugh and realized I need to watch it again with “secret knowledge” that I felt dumb for not noticing the first time.

Neither skeet or whatthefuc, nor substack, nor other “platform” for a fuck to “monetize” your attention with but an honest to god website that is not promoting my work at all but that of guy named Benny. Remember when there were regular ass funny websites? www.bennyscheckner.com/musings/2025...

I’m 45, but yes.

I been through enough step moms that doesn’t even phase me

Fuck!

Really says something about such a person, doesn’t shit?

[sobs]

Dad?

It’s a good feeling to finally feel good about something! Congrats

Get Your Shit Together, Man Downtime in Kal-Arath, part 1

Yes, there is quite a bit of “shit” in the titles for these. The scatological preoccupation of the narrator is not lost on me. open.substack.com/pub/bogmad/p...

Conspiracy? I feel like folks are pretty out in the open about it.

Nowadays, sincerity and authenticity are in short supply. Massive opening for bloggers to just be messy and half-finished! I'd kill for a sliver of humanity online

Got this in the mail the other day, and gotta say: The vibes were pretty good!

Spending too much time on Substack and seeing all this advice and “tips for getting into GMing”
I dunno, just play the fucking games guys. It’s not that hard. Finding the time and people with the same time, that’s the harder part

Eukarya We have bugs back home of course.

This took long enough:
6,000+ words conjecturing what it might be like for man with a Neolithic understanding of the world and a modern aptitude for saying “fuck, shit, etc” to fight a meticulously researched giant praying mantis who kills his wolf-friend.

A grotesque headless cow that says "eat my fear"

NEW YORK (AP) - It seems David Lynch is too gruesome even for New York. The cow sculpture created by the director for a public art show is being returned to California without going on display, The New York Times reported Thursday. Lynch, known for the eerie 1990s television drama ``Twin Peaks,'' chopped off his cow's head and stuck forks and knives into its back. He also covered parts of the cow with a reddish, blood-like substance. ``I thought it was Charles Manson,'' city Parks Commissioner Henry J. Stern told the Times. ``I don't know whether it's shock art or schlock art. David Lynch should stick to his day job, making movies.'' CowParade NYC 2000 features several hundred fiberglass cows decorated by artists and schoolchildren and displayed on sidewalks around the city. Lynch said he was disappointed to be excluded. ``Don't you think when people tell you you're allowed to do whatever you want as long as it's not sexually X-rated that they should stand behind their word and show your cow?'' Lynch said. A cow by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, was rejected before the cow parade began in June and sued the city and organizers unsuccessfully.

One of my favourite small David Lynch moments is when he tried to do one of those ceramic art cows for New York City and submitted this and was rejected.

First Days Out from Home A journal from Kal-Arath*

I started a substack. Not because I got jack shit I want to charge readers for, but because it was the closest thing to the old livejournal days for typing out inane little projects no one but me cares about. This one is from a solo-ttrpg I played. See? Just for me open.substack.com/pub/bogmad/p...

A GOP fundraising message with the response “fuck off, dummies” “You have successfully unsubscribed “

Never gets old. Well the messages do

I’ve mostly noticed the bad. The lack of follow through or ability to stick to a choice and do it well drove me crazy early on, and by the time it settled into being the show it wanted to be in later seasons I realized it wasn’t the kind of show I wanted or really enjoyed very much
