From a Reddit discussion about The Matrix: Resurrections. This is exactly why I kinda love the movie. Seems like Lana accomplished exactly what she meant to:
Big Discipline - It is not just one of the worst sequels, it's one of the worst movies in general.

(Next poster on thread)

PrimalNumber - I absolutely love that movie and its seething disdain for itself and the industry.

It's with a heavy heart that I share that Luna passed. Gina and I adopted her at our 1st apartment, and she's been with us for 17 of her 18 years. Stubborn, smart, dopey, and always licking, she brought us so much joy. Thank you Luna Tuna, also know as The Fish, for being a part of our family.

Since we're asking for author notes to prove we're not AI, here's some snippets of my highly organized notes from my Google Keep for the 4th and 5th Deadgirl books:
"Some jokes involving the term Lucified, like they're riffing catch phrases and that's Daphne'a addition. 

"Started making it. Had a breakdown. Bon apetit." James Acaster, Great British Bake OffDG5 Ideas. 2nd act idea: They're talking about saving REDACTED, rescuing her, etc. If she hasn't looked for us, maybe she's been caught, etc. They botch a rescue or something, and she makes it clear she's staying. Pop ppppppp

This was both harrowing and a ton of fun, a rare combination. It's the kind of unique, creative story that makes me want to rush to my computer to start writing. What a blast, full recommendation. Stellar cast, too.

Hey fellow #Buffy fans! I'm an indie author with a book series that's a big sloppy love letter to Buffy. High school supernatural nonsense, snarky leads, BA ladies, dudes doing their best, heart break, punching, etc Check it out if that sounds intriguing. It's all finished, so, no waiting:
The covers of the five Deadgirl novels by B.C. Johnson, and the Deadgirl novella "Daphne." Blue and magenta color scheme, a design mixing comic book-ish hero poses and spooky vibes.

One of the reasons I can't delete Facebook. I have zero memory of this. And, for the record, I hadn't done a single drug at this point other than alcohol and Tylenol.

One of THE best character arcs in TV. In fiction. In anything. Up there on the Mount Rushmore of TV Character Transformations, with Wesley Wyndham-Pryce, Steve Harrington, and I don't know, Eleanor Shellstrop. Or Vegeta.

On to some lines from RIVEN, my post-apocalypse fantasy that's a bit Fallout with a touch of X-Men. #books #postapocalypse #fantasy
"I'm going to tell you about the end of the world.

I don't know if anyone even still has internet, if anyone is going to read this. Between fighting the inhumans and battling the fever, most of the adults here are gone. My parents. My aunt and uncle. All of our teachers. Don't get me wrong, us kids aren't feeling so hot either. I see them, hollow-eyed shadows wandering the streets. Looking for food, shelter, company.

Lights off, smoke in the distance. Sometimes you can hear gunfire, rattling away like a distant snare drum. Sometimes you can hear screams, but they don't last very long."

Aaand the first lines of the fifth and final DG book, Gravedust. Journey's end, resurrections revoked. Time to graduate. #books #horror #indie
First Lines. "I lay dead in the corner of the room, and yet I stood, too, looking down upon myself. My second self, bloody and broken, a frail doll of a girl crumpled in the corner of the room. My own blood on my lips, a warm, somehow electric, savory taste. Vertigo. Was I dreaming? No, no dream of mind would make ... this. Or summon her." Gravedust, B.C. Johnson - YA - Horror - Fantasy

B.C. Johnson @bc-johnson.com · 14/02/2026
First lines of DAYBREAK, the fourth and penultimate DG book. The end is near. #books #author #indiebooks #ya #horror
First lines.

What do you want to be when you grow up, Lucy?" people asked.

I mean, why not–it's the go to question to feed a young person when you can't think of any actual conversation to make. Who are you going to be, is what they're asking. You know, when all this (dismissive gesture) is over with?

How about: who are you now? What are you now?

B.C. Johnson @bc-johnson.com · 11/02/2026
And the first lines for Daphne, the novella that's basically DG 2.5 and follows beloved rascal Daphne through some, uh, transformations?
First lines. The naked girl pounded her bloody fists against the steel door. "Mom!" she screamed. The air burned through her ragged throat, and she winced and bowed her head. Her legs gave out. She lay still on the cold stone floor. Something soft and lilting leaked from the other side of the door. Musical. Classical. Something soothing. "Turn that shit off," Daphne croaked.

And the first lines of GHOSTLIGHT, 2nd book in the DG series. #books #authorsofbluesky
A graphic with text. "First Lines. Kassia, I killed Lucy Day. I know, bury the lede why don't you? Anything else is just chocolate frosting on a liar cake." Ghostlight, B.C. Johnson. Ya - Horror - Fantasy

If you want to start my DG series and don't mind leaving a review, Booksprout can get you a free copy starting today. Link below. A dash of Buffy, a sprig of Stephen King, ladled over with the vibes of an MCR soundtrack. If big monsters and bigger feelings is up your alley, you might dig it.

Finally beat Mad Puppet Clown in #LiesOfP, what a pain in the puppet-ass. It was not an honorable victory. Burned all my healing potions to umbrella him down to half health, then kited him around the fountain throwing bombs and sticks at him until he burst. But all's fair in Souls, so, Excelsior
