I love movies, video games, books, both comic and otherwise. And I'm a generally left leaning social Democrat. If you're cool with talking about that kinda stuff, then you'll dig what I have to say here. Oh, and #SometimesIWriteStuff

I just listened to @adamconover.net on Tim Pool's podcast, and I want to give him his props. It sucks that such thin-skinned, bitch-made punks like Pool have platforms. It makes Americans look like we can't take criticism, and makes the whole country look bad. Thanks Adam, for being an absolute G.

It seems to me that Republicans are mistaken just what it is that Democrats actually want. They think we're out to reverse the state of things, place them on the bottom, and us on the top. Truthfully, the idea is to put everyone on equal footing. The proper redress of tyranny is freedom for all.

So I'm watching the new #Netflix Devil May Cry, and from what I can see, they're sort of combining the Dante from OG Devil May Cry and the DmC version. The animation style looks pretty cool, but I'm not crazy about the design of Ebony and Ivory. Suppose you take what you can get. Worth a watch.

I wonder if market manipulation is an impeachable offense. Asking for a friend.

So I understand that MI is being denied federal aid (it's cold up here, y'all) because Trump wants our governor to sign some bullshit and "bend the knee," and I've got one thing to say. Good for you Gretchen, he'd just find some other shit to hold over you. We're doing just fine. #FuckTrump

It worries me at times the amount of people who think I merely have a problem with Trump. It's not so much the man himself. Rather, it's the sort of behavior he normalizes. If sane people don't contradict this stuff whenever possible, then what becomes normal in four years time? #FuckTrump

I gotta say, it gets tiresome dealing with AI comic "creators" on that book with the faces. Of the comic groups I'm on there, the past few days have seen an influx of these sort of non-creatives. There's a right way to use AI as a tool. But if people can tell you did it, then you did it wrong.

I wonder what it must say about me that all my favorite stories are about love, death, and vengeance. Alexandere Dumas' The Count of Monte Cristo, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Frank Miller's Sin City, and James O'Barr's The Crow. Some of the greatest stories ever told in any medium. And buckets of blood.

Anyone else have that weird dream where you tell Trump to his face in the White House garden that he's unfit, and he gets so triggered he locks down the entire White House? Just me? Ok, just checking.

In other news, a team of students from Eindhoven University of Technology has mysteriously disappeared. Authorities say that they have no leads, and no suspects have been found. We'll have more after this word from our sponsors at ExxonMobil.

This is far from a hot take, but I've noticed that more often than not, #Netflix will cancel a show regardless of how well it's doing. It can be a hit, like Yu Yu Hakusho or Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, and it'll still get canned, leaving it unfinished, and unsatisfying. At least Cobra Kai ended.

Just heard something to do with government checks. I wouldn't want to accept money from this administration. But right this moment, I'm in debt up to my eyeballs. If it'll get me out from under a loan or two, I'll swallow my bile down and do what I can elsewhere. Still #fucktrump and #fuckmusk too.

I'm watching the Heaven's Feel movies for Fate Stay/Night. These are incredible! I highly recommend them if you're an anime fan, especially a Fate fan like myself.

Watched a YouTube video earlier talking saying they could never release a game like #Wolfenstein in 2025. It's a fair point, and begs a question. When did it become unfair to vilifiy the Nazis? They've been universal bad guys since the 40's right? Glad I have hard copies of these games. #FuckNazis

Writers tend to feed off validation, not so much praise as feedback. I think a big part of the reason I've had a hard time working on scripts has been the lack of feedback I can receive as a result. Since I can't exactly share whatever I've been working on, I can't get the motivation to keep working

So, in the interest of being a different sort of creator I have a statement to make. When my book comes out (and it is only a question of when), I want to encourage people to write #fanfiction set in my worlds. Play in my sandbox all you like. I promise I will credit whoever inspires future work.

So I went to grab my laptop to putz about, maybe get some writing done, and I find a line of dead pixels on my mfing monitor! Quick chat with one of my techie bros, and I find out it's not the end of the world. Still, it's past time for a new laptop. If only I had cash for it.

Lookit everybody! I'm in a comic! Check out the talented @goblingrimm.bsky.social to see more awesome work like this!

Wish I could say this surprises me even a little bit. It won't go anywhere. Political theater and all that. And even if it did, our senate is too full of cowards to do what must be done. He should have been stopped in 2020. He should never have been elected in 2016. These people gotta go.

I find it interesting that people have a hard time understanding how one can see someone as "dangerous" and "stupid" at the same time. You don't have to be intelligent to pose a problem to the rest of the world. The current US president is a perfect example.

I make $0 on the sales of this shirt. 100% goes to the Trevor Project. I am part of the T they are trying to erase. I am part of + they are trying to remove. Shirt shop link is in my linktree. #LGBTQ #transrights

Day two of Monroe Horror & Oddities Con is well underway! Come on through and say hi.

C'mon down to The Monroe Horror & Oddities Con! Day 1 is just getting underway. If you're local and looking for something cool to do, stop in and check things out!

I had a thought this morning. If our left is the rest of the world's center, and our right is their far-right, then what does that say about our far-right?

It's definitely for the best that I lack the funds to fully indulge my gaming habit. I'd get even less done than I do now!

I started #SometimesIWriteStuff to get back to writing regularly. I'm going to shoot for getting some kind of writing done on at least a monthly basis. It might be #fanfiction, a review of some kind, or just a thought piece. I'd actually appreciate people keeping me focused. Check me if I slip k?

First impressions on the new Ranma 1/2 show on Netflix, the animation style is an interesting mix of modern anime and manga. And the fight scenes are awesome! I don't know if this classic needed to be redone, but I'm glad it was.
