Still thinking about this movie hours later. Damn is it good. The hype is real.

Go see Weapons ASAP. Genuinely one of the most frightening, hilarious, and outright chaotic films I've ever seen.

Buckled up and ready.

I am currently working on a sci-fi/comedy creature feature novel, but I've had a variety of horror short stories published in small presses! How about you?

I will be joining this club in December!

Never forget, though, that it was Colbert who gave them their US late night debut. Legendary.

Ghost killed it!

I will not hear mega Dragonite slander. He is perfect.

Ozzy Osbourne for fucking ever!

Turning their problematic dynamic from the OG Donkey Kong into an adorable friendship is one of Nintendo's best ideas yet. Loving this game so far. The times call for a game where you can just smash the absolute fuck out of everything.

Corruption and indecency at its finest. Shame on you, CBS.

Just keep writing.

All this Deftones talk reminds me of one of my favorite quotes from my dad:

"Is this [Deftones] even music? I'm going to record myself jamming a cactus in my ass so I can make millions of dollars too!"

Farewell to the world's greatest heavy metal band, and happy retirement to the most iconic metal singer of all time!

Authors petition publishers to curtail their use of AI The open letter and accompanying petition asking publishers "to make a pledge that they will never release books that were created by machines" garnered more than 600 signatures within a few hours.

Nothing like getting a jolt of excitement from a contract offer only to learn it's from a vanity publisher. Predatory stuff.

Abolish ICE.

Such a huge fan of this series. Well done. Sadly, the themes and implications of the covered events remain both relevant and urgent.

Didn't love aspects of the ending, but Echoes of Wisdom is still a beautiful and highly intuitive game, featuring the latest in a growing line of Zelda characters I'd die for:

Up 30 minutes before my alarm because I had a dream that made me aware of a plot hole in a story I'm writing.

Always willing to talk about that particular issue, of course, but it sucks seeing my professional skillset being so closely associated with slop factories.

Getting exhausted by people asking me what I do and then promptly bringing up generative AI. I understand wanting spur conversation, but it's sort of a weird look to basically go, "So what do you do for a living? Oh, cool. So how do you feel about becoming obsolete someday?"

Finally saw the mighty Metallica live. Two legendary performances spanning 11 albums and nearly all of my favorites. An all-timer for me.

"Chimera" is a horror story about greed and gaff taxidermy, and it's one of my favorite things I've written. You can find the story in The Fear House's Dead Unleashed anthology (the ebook is dirt cheap, if I do say so myself):

I wrote "Scrabble Goes to the Vet" as a tribute to my cat, a former stray. It's about the ways an adopted pet can change someone's life for the better (and other, less happy things, but I won't spoil it):

I am so in on horrifying mutant dinosaurs. Can't wait!

"The Forgiveness" is a short fable about loan debt and intrusive thought. I was fortunate to have this story published by a small press in 2022, and it would sure make me happy if you checked it out:

My favorite singer of all time. RIP.

Dave Grohl villain era is too dark of a timeline for me. Make it stop!
