Grief really sucks. I miss my dad terribly. I'm okay one moment, and then I find myself in tears the next. I'm just so glad I got my parents to move out to California a few years ago, and we got to spend so much time together right up until the end. So glad that I'm here for my mom through this.

James Rosiak was a thoughtful, acerbically funny man. He was a Vietnam veteran who always put family first. He was a hard worker & a huge laugher. He was a big fan of PBR & Star Trek, often together. He was my dad. He passed away in his sleep last night. He was surrounded by love & is now at peace.

Musk just posted a photo on X that supposedly showed migrants with axes and knives taking over a hospital, but the photo turned out to be a screen shot from the movie Dark Knight Rises.

Blatant corruption on a public level.

Fascinating profile of a park ranger in San Francisco who works with unhoused residents and has adopted the novel tactic of treating them like human beings, building relationships, and helping them access resources on their own timeline.

So… my dad is having surgery for his brain lesion tomorrow morning! Please send good vibes.

Rough night. Dad's brain lesion caused him to have a severe neurological episode around 2 am. The VA doctor that he'd been seeing had scheduled a brain surgery consult for a MONTH from now! So we took him to the emergency room. He's now getting private care and has a neurosurgery team taking action.

Hey now, hey now now... sing this corrosion to me. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Cold and rainy for the past few days in LA, so what better time to make a lentil soup from scratch?!

Look at this bunch of 90s goodness right here. 10 bucks. Worth it for DOA alone! #filmsky

Man, we really could've used all this Los Angeles rain about six weeks ago.

I know Elon has claimed he’s on the spectrum, and people have various theories on it, but what if he’s just a racist asshole who’s high on ketamine all the time?

Dunno how I went five whole years without watching HBO's HARLEY QUINN animated show, but that has now been rectified. I'm loving every second of this satirical wonder. It's the antidote to the endless superhero movies we've had for the past coupla decades. I couldn't adore it more. #tvsky

The Sisters of Mercy only released three albums but, god DAMN, every single one of them is an all-timer. Here's one of their very best songs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iuez...

MAGA having a 24-hour meltdown over Kendrick's absolutely incredible halftime show is just more concrete proof of what we've long known about them. They only dislike a "certain type" of performer, obviously. Yeah, there's a word for that.

Newest arrival: ROAR (1997). This short lived series was a mix of BRAVEHEART and the supernatural. First time I ever saw Heath Ledger and Vera Farmiga. Created by Shaun Cassidy a few years after his brilliant AMERICAN GOTHIC series. #tvsky

Having a great day with dad. He woke up to a call from his little brother, which really perked him up, and now he's taking a nap. When he wakes up, we're gonna watch the Superbowl together. Can't wait to get his surgery done and get him back to normal.

I'm no diehard football fan (I'm much more into hoops) but I haven't missed a Superbowl Sunday in decades. Wishing a great day to all who celebrate!

NW: THE INTRUDER WITHIN (1981). Groovy made-for-TV movie follows a group of oil rig roughnecks who unearth a prehistoric egg that hatches a nasty creature that wreaks havoc on the crew. Clearly an ALIEN riff, it's moody, with great practical FX. From back when TV movies were awesome. #filmsky

Today is the birthday of Carole Rosiak who, aside from being an amazing human being, is also an amazing mom. She's been going through a lot dealing with my dad's health issues, so it'd be great if anyone reading this would extend her some birthday wishes! Happy birthday, mom!

Friday Night Flick: THE BERMUDA DEPTHS (1978). This obscure 70s TV movie that mixes Bermuda Triangle lore with a kaiju tale has haunted me since childhood. From Rankin & Bass, who made all those stop-motion X-mas specials, this was a rare foray into live-action, and it works marvelously. #filmsky

So little Zoey is getting spayed (finally!) on the 17th. Then Dad has his brain surgery on the 19th. Just gotta make sure we don't mix up the appointments! 🤣

Decided to rewatch ALWAYS SUNNY, so I bought the complete series on disc, because I also want the banned episodes that were pulled from streaming... which should never have been banned, as they serve to show just how awful the gang is. Got Seasons 1-15 for 40! Once again, physical media forever!

Received absolutely amazing news about my dad today. His brain lesion is small, non-cancerous and easily removable. We’re in the midst of arranging surgery right now, and once it’s done and he recovers, he should go back to his regular old self. Thank you, universe!

And just like that, you have me verrrry interested in a JURASSIC WORLD movie. Combine a great director like Gareth Edwards with the original film's writer, David Koepp, and make it exactly the sort of adventure movie I love, and there you have it. Can't wait! www.youtube.com/watch?v=jan5...

Latest pickup. This short-lived 1983 series ran for 8 episodes and was directly inspired by OG Dungeons and Dragons. A fun fantasy that also served as sly satire on the genre, it had great turns by Jeff Conaway and Clive Revill. Stoked to revisit! #tvsky

A 60s set, retrofuturism-inspired FANTASTIC FOUR movie that nails the tone of the OG books and features a comics-accurate Galactus AND Herbie the Robot? Yeah, baby... I am so in! Please don't let me down, Marvel! www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHr2...

Somebody’s ear infection is getting all better thanks to doggy penicillin!

Waiting on pins and needles to hear back from neurosurgery about my dad's brain lesion & if it's operable. My dad's genuinely the best, most honest & forthright person I've ever known. Worked his ass off to care for his family. For anybody reading this, please send good vibes our way. We need 'em.

Fuck, fuckity, fuck! At least we got overall closure to the season. variety.com/2025/tv/news...

Burgers tonight, and I'm gonna take them over the top with my very own homemade In N Out sauce (yes, I can make it perfectly). Doing my own animal style fries too. This is the way.

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "Dude, this is actually a very minor conflict," said Gandalf, "Sauron isn't even the main bad guy, that's Morgoth. All of this is a minor skirmish compared to what was happening before. Read the Silmarillion, damn."

Just received in the mail. Can’t wait to revisit this unsung classic. Ron Perlman, Linda Hamilton and George RR Martin? Yes, please! #tvsky
