Can’t wait to read this one!

Artwork featuring all the characters from the Go-Man book series - some human, some robot and some monsters. They're lined up in from of a city and some trees and a big blue sky. The text reads GO-MAN! Champion of Earth, from the Creator of Dead End: Paranormal Park Hamish Steele

✨ GO-MAN: CHAMPION OF EARTH is OUT NOW! ✨

Tobi is a lonely, autistic boy living in a futuristic city under constant monster attack. He dreams of joining the Robug Squad to defend the Earth when he's big, but when a magical plant turns him into the superhero Go-Man - he might have got big too soon!

Fair! I think they could def make it more silly. Like I think Gonzo and Fozzie are in front of a green screen of the footage and fake-running away and telling jokes, ad-lib shenanigans. And they have smaller roles in the movie but are beloved characters so it’d be our chance to see more of them!

Other rewrites of note: Piggy has the hots for Steve Martin and it turns into a little bit of her chasing him down and he isn’t into it since he’d rather be in control. At one point he is more scared of Piggy and Piggy turns to Kermit because sadly Steve can’t handle her

I think the Muppets should perform it on Broadway with the Broadway ending but then make a movie version with the movie ending — but they add the end credits footage of the giant plants destroying the city as a bonus. A Fozzie and Gonzo joint where Fozzie is reporting and Gonzo is thrill seeking

Notes App: Little Shop of Muppets Kermit as Seymour Miss Piggy as Audrey Animal as Audrey II Sam Eagle as Mr Mushnik Steve Martin reprising his role as the Dentist Gonzo as the Pain-Loving dental patient (Bill Murray in the movie) The Chickens as the Chorus Fozzie as Reporter Pepe as Customer

Revised cast list

Ok wait I just realized…. What if it’s Steve Martin as the dentist and Gonzo as the Bill Murray character

Yes but who?? At first I thought Dentist with Steve Martin reprising his role but then I realized Gonzo

Notes App: Little Shop of Muppets Kermit as Seymour Miss Piggy as Audrey Animal as Audrey II Sam Eagle as Mr Mushnik Gonzo as the Dentist Camila the Chicken as the Dental Nurse Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem as the Chorus Fozzie as Reporter Pepe as Customer

thoughts?

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me? Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

(S5 Ep33)

In case you were wondering what happens the guy who was replacing everyone with robots gets replaced by this robot

Twilight Zone, evergreen

😢❤️ Let’s catch up soon?

Ty for sharing to help offset the spread of misinformation! I know yall are curious and want more receipts about other parts of this whole debacle but a reminder that a) there is going to be a court case and b) these are REAL people’s PRIVATE lives, so I probably won’t be sharing more for now! 🖤

Jordon took down his original vid so I can’t double check his wording, but friends sent me posts from Saige directly claiming that Omar was arrested and of her sharing a cropped version of the doc & circling the arrest date. People were concerned so I posted to let them know he wasn’t arrested

They actually MAKE you watch Gidget in jail as punishment I hear!

Everyone also learning about Gidget today!

Everyone’s learning a lot about Maple today!

For good measure here are uhhh our texts... July 9th (maple is okay btw, just got too excited 🫥)

Unfortunately the funniest part of this is that Omar was watching Gidget (if anyone was wondering, he said it was bad)

I’m not a very carceral person so it also feels weird to have to argue so hard that he wasn’t arrested since arrest does not always equal guilty, but the fact is… he wasn’t arrested, he’s not been charged guilty with anything, there’s a future court date where hopefully things will get cleared up

I also of course have info, receipts, observations, etc for a lot of other things but that really seems like something that doesn’t need to be for the internet. But since this broke as though it was news, I wanted to clear that part up unequivocally!!

It feels extremely weird to share personal text convos with the internet but I’m not a huge fan of the court of public opinion becoming a mob and I’m also very passionate about media literacy and stopping misinformation spread so it felt worth it!

Text bubbles Thursday, July 10 at 10:55pm Omar: home safe and sound! Me: yay, good job!! Me: how was the drive? Omar: I did run over a tire so I had to pull over and check my car haha Omar: but ultimately it was fine Me: oh no! Okay I’m glad it was ultimately fine Me: are you exhausted? Omar: a bit tired Omar: Surena fielded my two hours of being like “this rocket ship is falling apaaaaaart” Omar: but it was okay haha Me: Hahaha Me: you mean when you hit the tire? Omar: yeah after

I saw Omar multiple times that day. Other parts of the day I was at my office (which is nearby) and Omar was dog sitting Maple a couple of blocks down the street so it was an easy day for us to go back and forth. He was also preparing to drive north to visit his mom for her bday the next day (below)

Text bubbles drive Wednesday July 9 at 3:29 PM: Omar: your food has landed! Putting it in the fridge Me: thank you!! Wed, July 9 at 7:55pm Omar: DND is falling through so I’ll call Surena real quick and then prob bring Maple over Omar: for the rehearsal Me: oh ok I was about to swing by work for a bit cause I need to get the switch! Omar: sounds good whenever you head back I’ll bring maple Omar: we’re lazing on the balcony Me: nice Me: Do you guys wanna come to the office too?

Text bubbles: Picture of Maple, a small cavapoo dog, laying splayed out on an apartment balcony Omar: Maple and I are at the house Me: ok we are headed back! Omar: cool we’re watching Gidget

For good measure, here are some texts we exchanged from the day that Omar supposedly got “arrested” (July 9th). I was working back and forth from my office and home, so as his roommate if we are both home I won’t generally text him or anything. But as you can see it was a normal day.

There is currently an online rumor going around that one of my best and closest friends, Omar, was arrested. I can tell you…. this simply is not true. I am his roommate and can account for his whereabouts on most days. On the day in question he has multiple receipts and alibis and, most importantly, I SAW HIM AND KNOW THAT HE WAS NOT ARRESTED. His ex partner is posting things in such a way to make it seem like he is a dangerous criminal, and it’s not the first time she has publicly distributed misleading information. I’ve known Omar for almost 20 years. Omar is ace and does charity work for the LGBTQ community. I have known him to be a kind person who is socially conscious and aims for representation in the characters he creates. For the last year he has aimed not to take profits from the online D&D games he plays and instead donates his wages to things like Trans Lifeline.

He isn’t even prominently in the TTRPG world anymore other than this, yet he has stayed in the space in a small handful of select games only for the sake of his friends who he made commitments to, and for the fact that he can then donate. Some of the reasons he took a step back from the space in this last year is because of a new job and new relationship. But another big reason was because of the toxic relationship he endured, the sadness and fear he felt about his ex, and the fact that she is a figure in this space. In one of the videos spreading this rumor, some comments call for Omar to drop out…

…of the panels he is on for an upcoming convention, Gen Con. I’d like to set the record straight that weeks ago, I personally advised him to drop out of those panels and not attend the con because I knew his ex would be there and I had a bad feeling that she was ramping up some sort of attack on him. Omar excused himself from those panels on my advice, long before these posts happened. He also had to make venue security aware when he went to do a public show, for fear that she would try something. If you see any news that he is no longer on the panels, please know that it is not because of any punitive action.

Lastly I’ll add that I’m very disturbed and saddened by this turn of events. I wish everyone involved much healing, but for anyone who might be involved in this: please don’t drag my friend down in the process without any evidence or research. Luckily I think that his reputation speaks for itself with how willing his partner, friends, and community are willing to speak to him. In the future everyone will have their day in court and that is where I believe the truth will come out ❤️

I posted this on Insta a couple days ago! I think the misinformation has been largely cleared up (the creator who “reported” it took the video down with an apology, other involved parties have provided info, and there seems to be a healthy convo about how to read legal documents), but just in case!

evergreen post

Spoke with Surena, checked in, and I’m only going to say a few things. (Even if she did say I can let the chopper sing) The only reason I’m saying anything is because while everyone wants to step away “until they have all the facts”, that didn’t stop many people from spreading the lies via texts.

I can't decide if I am more furious… or disgusted… or just really disappointed and disillusioned by some of the people in my industry.
