PSA: if I happen to say “Gulf of Mexico” in passing and you hold up your hand and say, “um, actually? It’s the Gulf of America,” I will literally separate your head from the rest of your body. Seriously.

If you look at RFK Jr and think, “Yeah, he’s totally capable and competent and not the least bit unhinged,” then you’re as fucked up as he is. Seriously.

Ugh…Goosebumps: The Vanishing might be some of the worst TV I’ve seen in a while. Like, right from the start when it’s supposed to be summer and there are no leaves on the trees and it’s obviously cold by the steam coming out of everyone’s mouth…it doesn’t get any better. Awfully written junk.

My October Symphony by Pet Shop Boys is a perfect Friday night fireside jam…

Snow is coming down hard. Just cooked a phenomenal filet mignon, garlic mashed, and Montepulciano sauce…devoured it. Now fireside with a cocktail and tunes…

I won’t disagree with you, lol! Have a great night my friend!

Why yes, I do believe another vodka tonic is a good idea…

I absolutely love an impending snow storm…make sure your food, wood, and booze supplies are laid in, get a little work done tomorrow, then sit back and enjoy the beauty of nature as she reminds you who is in charge. I’m here for it…

Jon F. Merz @jonfmerz.bsky.social · 12/01/2025

Been a pretty fantastic day. New art, huge numbers for @tosompodcast.bsky.social latest episode, and a general feeling of awesomeness for the first real week of 2025. Hope you’re all well!

I’m thankful for: my sons are home, a safe & festive holiday, 2 new movies I’m in debuting in 2025, I’ve just been cast in another, new books coming soon, my podcast is kicking ass, trusted friends, and dropping dead weight anchors that have been holding me back. Charging forward, getting it done.

This week's episode of The Other Side of Midnight @tosompodcast.bsky.social is going to be something. The true crime portion alone is creepy AF. Can't wait to drop this at 12:01AM EST Friday (or Thanksgiving night if you're up making a midnight turkey sandwich, lol)

Well, it’s official: I *still* hate dumbbell thrusters…

Jon F. Merz @jonfmerz.bsky.social · 22/11/2024

Lots of changes in 2025. Cutting loose ends, cutting things that don't serve, contracting the circle to a few trusted individuals, focused on creating kick-ass content (movies, podcasts, books & more) and savoring more of life with precious souls.

Jon F. Merz @jonfmerz.bsky.social · 22/11/2024

Respect. I'll bet he throws a serious party.

Jon F. Merz @jonfmerz.bsky.social · 22/11/2024

I used to think that Joe Scarborough & Mika Brzezinski had spines. Turns out they can be bought as easily as cowardly Republican. Fuck 'em. I can't stand cowards. I hope they lose their show & their audience. I'd rather die on my feet fighting than on my knees crying like a subservient bitch.

4 Pix from the final day of filming on FLETCHER’S 5. So grateful to the entire cast & crew! Into post-production we go!

Jon F. Merz @jonfmerz.bsky.social · 15/11/2024

Final day of filming on FLETCHER'S 5 tomorrow. Bittersweet but utterly amazing journey from inception to execution and after tomorrow into post-production with an incredible team. What started as a simple idea, grew into something truly awesome. Film debuts in first quarter of 2025!

I was curious about the hashtag thing also. I've used them on a few posts but don't know if they even matter here, lol... PS: Nice to meet you! :)

Very nice waking up and seeing your latest podcast episode already has cruised past 2,000 downloads in only 8 hours...Happy Friday!

Jon F. Merz @jonfmerz.bsky.social · 15/11/2024

So many platforms, but I think this one might just take. Pretty decent experience so far for only having been on here for 24 hours. Hopefully, it holds. We could use a good one!

010

Jon F. Merz @jonfmerz.bsky.social · 15/11/2024

Excited for 2025: continuing @tosompodcast.bsky.social podcast, adding another show (or 2) to the weekly output; both LAWSON and FLETCHER'S 5 will be premiering; & a bunch of new books are being pub'd. I mean, the country absolutely sucks but I'll be excited for the joy I can bring to the masses.

Thank you from a former gov dude who knows Gabbard is pretty much the same as hiring a GRU officer for the post.

Look, full disclosure here: if you follow me and I look at your profile and it’s nothing but Bible quotes…dog, it’s not for me. You have faith? Awesome. Do the world a favor and keep it to yourself. Seriously. I block religious zealots. Seriously.
