At my age, it's pretty rare I get asked to interview an up and coming musician and producer, but Comic-Con always throws me at least one curveball... fun to chat with @shawnwasabi.bsky.social and discover I like his music. A lot. youtu.be/B8-yNhq8xoM?...

I've returned to the dream I had as a kid -- writing comics, not reviewing them. After Horror Not Hate, I've been collaborating with the brilliant @ryansamuelcarr.bsky.social on a story for the anthology Billy the Kid's Weird West, and I'm chuffed how much Ryan will blow everyone away with this.

I had two stories accepted for anthologies last week. One prose, one comics. Working on another with high hopes. The hardest part right now is being anxious to see art because the day job has been draining so much of my energy lately.

To be honest, I'm following this one closely. I got a preview look at the graphic novel, which still hasn't actually come out. But #TheDevilsTrain looks like what we want: original IP, to be shot independently, and for me, probably more than a little insane. fanboyplanet.com/casting-the-...

To me, this isn’t a political issue. It’s human rights. As in, I believe in them and clearly many people don’t.

I was having a fairly good day. Went to a comic con. Hung out with friends. And then the last cousin I still talk with went no contact because by reposting an admittedly dark humored meme about ICE, -I’m- the one promoting hate. It’s going to get worse before it gets better.

I met the man who created Call of Duty, about 12 years ago. He regretted it, and as penance was taking audio and video of traumatic incidents and turning them into VR experiences so a viewer could feel the emotional pain. I think of him a lot right now.

My whole life I’ve been against the death penalty. Coproduced a theatrical production of Dead Man Walking. Spent time with Sister Helen. I want arrests of those complicit. I want public trials. And if there’s a death penalty, so be it.

I’m not going to share the video, but I just watched it and ruined my Saturday. This isn’t “another shooting.” This was another murder. Fuck ICE.
