George Lowe, the iconic voice actor best-known for Space Ghost Coast to Coast, has died at the age of 67.

boy are you the stock market because I don't think I'll ever recover from the way you just went down on me

Logging On: 9:12a |> hello and good morning |> makeup appointments today and nearing the end of my physical therapy |> hoping for that freeing up of time to help

Pulling birth certificates and social cards. Kindergarten is right around the corner…

This happened to me too. The feed just cut out and said “Thanks for watching!” Oscars gone from the home page. If you searched, you only got a trailer for the show. Really bad!

Would you rather - a box of 12 Boosters of Shiny Final Fantasy Magic cards, or a Nintendo Switch with every currently released Final Fantasy game, with enough money left over for a Pro Controller and a box of Jaffa Cakes.

Hi. I just cleaned my house for over an hour and it looks exactly the same. Yes. I have three kids five and under. Why do you ask?

Unfollowed a trail running podcast I like because they did an episode on using ChatGPT to write a training plan. Will this idiocy follow us everywhere? Also: Do pros forget the three money sources they have are podcasts, instagram influencing, and coaching? Why train your audience to not need you?

Dudes rock. #AEWCollision

hey no big if not but do u know what the third book is called

Just read the word “Innie” capitalized in this. Is this somehow connected to that “Outie” meme?

'Hackman was expelled from (acting) school after three months for ‘not having talent.’ I am highlighting this quote for my fellow artists. do your thing.

Keep tryin' tryin'

I, too, would love to reenact the final battle between Ash and Leon. I hope this game rules.

I was privileged to know Gene Hackman because he played tennis with another Gene—Gene Wilder. And that Gene told him about a little role called The Blind Hermit in our movie YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN…

Unfollowing all lit agencies I’ve scoped out on social media. Turns out seeing a constant flow of “new book deals” and “new author signings” is not good for your mental health when you’re working to get agented. Nothing against those individuals. Happiness and success to them. Just need to save me.

Hello. My name is Autumn Christian and I'm an author. My last book was called Girl Like a Bomb and it was published by @clashbooks.bsky.social. I'm repped by Michael Mungiello at Inkwell Literary Management. Please RT and share this, as I am looking for likeminded people over here.

Thank you, Gene

This is the dream. It's been the dream since we were all kids in the 90s.

IT'S POKEMON ADVENTURES-STYLE BATTLING! #PokemonDay2025

So odd they'd choose two starter Pokemon from the same region in this Legends game. #PokemonDay2025

Also, genuinely surprised that specific Pokemon games haven't been available in Latin American Spanish before now...

*faints*

SPIRITUAL SEQUEL TO POKEMON STADIUM??

*wink wink*

Still continues to be the top storytelling Pokemon game. You know. Minus that one part at the end of Scarlet/Violet, I guess.

This show is like visual melatonin. Such a chill series.

#PokemonDay

Woke up early today. Mostly to get back into the habit of getting started writing at 5:30a, and to have some quiet time, but also to take in the #PokemonDay fun. It's like Christmas. Comes once a year.

And now we’ve lost Gene Hackman, too. So many incredible performances. What a legacy.

🎉🎉

FACEBOOK IS DOWN THEY'RE PURGING THE WOKENESS OR SOMETHING

This one, especially for people my age, hits really hard.

Michelle Trachtenberg, star of Harriet the Spy, The Adventures of Pete & Pete, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Gossip Girl, and more, has died at 39.

And that’s a flat tire to start our morning. Thankfully, we had my father-in-law‘s truck to get the boys to preschool, but come on man. A break?

Already did-

Baby C’s birthday is today. He turns 3 and is full of all kinda of life. We took him out to breakfast and to the Burton Barr library downtown Phoenix. Then I had physical therapy and am now hurting big time. It’s a good hurt, but a hurt.

Three thoughts: 1) This is a FANTASTIC list to choose from. 2) No Outrunners??? Criminal. 3) Jon Moxley should be on here for nearly breaking at the “Cincin-Naughty” pun alone.

Found this fanny pack at Goodwill. In GREAT shape. $3.50 ‘Bout to exude that Ultra Dad Energy.

Project NESS Middle Grade Paranormal Adventure #QueryTrenches “No” replies - 25 “Yes” replies - 0 I waited to share this ‘No’ because it was the third of the full requests that were out. And it came two days after the last one. It felt like I was punched in the gut in rapid succession.
