Look at that date. That’s fucking crazy. It’s been going more than a decade! That wasn’t even the first year. The Fresno Zombie Crawl is still going strong, still run by my friends @typhoidashley.bsky.social and fuckin Patrick. Proud of those nutjobs.

Sure hope these off-brand antacids work better than they taste Adulthood, folks! Sometimes it’s rad and sometimes it’s fucking bullshit, and you never know which way it’ll go

Fucking Brooks, man. I really hope history remembers him as the bitchass bootlicker that he is.

Yeah that tracks I’m mostly resigned to it at this point but every so often I’m like “so there’s a chance”

The internet and the world is often annoying if not infuriating so here are some pictures that I hope will help move the needle in the other direction

It's important to remember that the AI doom scenario assumes not only that intelligence is a single well-defined thing, but also that intelligence solves literally every single problem, and that in every conflict overwhelming intelligence always wins. This is just not how anything works.

Almost home. Been walking around and on my feet for most of 10-12 hours. They’re hurty. But you know what’s not hurty? My back. Something clacked into place yesterday morning and while I’m still a bit tender, my dog what a difference. It’s nice when the body does something that doesn’t hurt

None of the above. My mind is an old bookstore with dubious lighting crammed to the rafters with all kinds of random shit, constantly blasting random music, and sometimes the books flit around like bats, trailing words behind them.

Strangely difficult to find the magical combination of pizza AND beer in the part of the city I’ve found myself in Either on their own: easy! Together? In a sit-down sort of scenario? lol fuck no

Ok a really super cute girl just smiled at me as we passed on the sidewalk so that’s it for me socializing this week, I’m all sorted.

By the way! To anyone and everyone. Next time you get gas, if you remember, take a pic of the price at the pump and send it to me. Same goes for any protest actions. If it makes it into the magazine, I’ll give you credit and a contributor copy.

The sci-fi/fantasy section at the main branch of VPL is right next to the children’s section This feels like a dis, ngl

Stumbled on a pro-Palestine demonstration on my way to the library Had some very interesting convos, handed out some cards and such, pet a friendly little dog named Loki. Unexpected, not unwelcome experience.

In other news my cell service provider is basically a monopoly, everyone hates them and they are fully turning the screws right now. I have to call in some old markers that were never meant to be remembered just to pay my fucking phone bill I am seriously wondering if it is worth it to have one

There will come a time when what we think of as a nice day wlll be overcast and gloom, sheltered from the sweltering, punishing rays of the sun Ain’t there yet though and I’ve gotta go out and get that Vitamin D

I can’t lie, I would be just a little tiny bit less anti-AI if autocorrect would stop messing with fuck and shit.

3.5 episodes into Daredevil Born Again and I want to like it but some of the stylistic choices are bugging me. They’re trying too hard to make the city a character. Normally I like such things but it feels forced here, compared to how they did it in BND.

Danger vines in the back at work Idk it feels very seasonally appropriate — but I’ve already got my hair stuck in one of these with my hands full once…

PhantasMal @ogmalcontent79.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

It was forecasted to be overcast and rainy today, but so far it is clear skies and strong winds, basically a perfect autumn day. How can I be expected to go to work on a day like this? Oh yeah… paycheck. Need that dang paycheck.

PhantasMal @ogmalcontent79.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Oh and I will definitely have something to say about Sam Altman. Something graphic in nature that I will do my absolute best to get into the magazine. His colostomy brain bullshit was the first thing I saw waking up and I don’t need that evil first thing on a Friday morning.

Silly me — I was planning to have a book to read through the long weekend but lol last night I burned through like a third of it in not much time at all Guess I need to find some more dang books, gosh darn it

The floating gas station in Vancouver is hiring and I’ll be honest y’all, I’d go for that job if I thought I’d have a snowball’s chance in Arizona of ever getting to work on time (they want you there WAY early — for my sleep cycle) Uniquely Vancouver job, hours/rate pretty good, ain’t a cubicle?

PhantasMal @ogmalcontent79.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

I got outside just in time to enjoy a brief window of sunshine between overcasts. Autumn isn’t in a hurry this year, but it’s undeniable now. Bonus sunset pics from the other day

Speaking of storytelling that isn’t subtle: forging ahead on Daredevil: Born Again I have to admit I’m coming in having seen a lot of negativity toward it so that’s probably coloring my viewing. But so is the flat and diffuse lighting.

PhantasMal @ogmalcontent79.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

People who don’t understand the stories told in books, shows, and movies, despite having those stories absolutely spoonfed to them, also don’t understand the stories of real life And that’s how we get where we are today Brought to you by a Redditor who found Agatha All Along confusing.

The excuses people make to be anti-intellectual are interesting, in an anthropological way. The excuses themselves are (surprise!) stupid, but the impulse, the NEED to cut people down because you couldn’t hack math or whatever — it does prove one isn’t particularly intellectual, I’ll give them that.

People who put their phones in their back pockets: aren’t you worried you’ll sit on it and break it? Or is that just a concern for large, uncoordinated myselves

The psychopomps are having a ball along my walk route — overhead, on the ground, in the trees, on the street signs They’re watching I’m not the only one noticing, either

Monito sighting! He didn’t stop long enough for pics but he did wait for me to reach him on the sidewalk so he could say hello. He’s such a dude, this little guy.

Someone on the alien hellsite called reading 50 books a year “speed reading” and I nearly spit my imaginary coffee. I will say that certainly not all authors are as breezy as Scalzi or Weir. Sometimes Gibson can get a bit dense, for example. Who do you consider a challenging genre writer, y’all?

Apropos of a ragebait post I just saw: one of the earliest red flags to me about my upbringing was the relentless insistence that there was one right way to do everything and all other ways are therefore wrong. With VERY few exceptions, I could never get on board with that.

PhantasMal @ogmalcontent79.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

The propaganda apparatus really gotta have the People Who Have Valid Points Actually run around slaughtering innocents wholesale and causing widespread misery to equate that cartoonish evil with the valid points. It’s impossible to unsee. I was talking about pop culture. They’d NEVER do that IRL

PhantasMal @ogmalcontent79.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Heyyy I finally cracked the code on the cold room/warm bed ratio, got a pretty decent sleep and my back didn’t hurt when I woke up! So of course I promptly did a bunch of chores that heavily involved my back muscles like bending, lifting, sweeping moving furniture — I’m sure it’s gonna be fine

If it was anyone but Flanagan, I’d be seriously side-eyeing this new Carrie thing, but I’ll give him the benefit of doubt

Ok whew I’ve been dragging ass all day but I got through it! Is it bedtime yet? Reader, it is 8pm. It is NOT bedtime.

PhantasMal @ogmalcontent79.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Ok, finished Lanterns. Overall non spoiler thoughts: 1) casting was damned near perfect, no notes 2) solid performances — I’ve already mentioned the way they handle weird GL shit worked for me 3) I think they pretty much nailed the tone they were going for. Reminds me a lot of True Detective

The “I like turtles” kid became a model, apparently. Niche internet jokes aside: jacket has A+ collar, D- shoulders. I’m enjoying how AP has to describe all of this fashion bullshit as “creations” because they don’t know what else to call this weird crap either.

On penultimate episode of Lanterns. I have to say I really enjoy the way they’re playing even the most ridiculous elements of Lantern lore completely straight while still somehow managing a gritty and mature tone.

Lotta people tired of being told to put in the work by or on behalf of people who don’t put in the fucking work The people who need to be doing the reaching out aren’t the ones being chided about it at every fucking turn

It’s not even 9am and I already have to excuse myself from the internet stupidity If only to stop being part of the problem 🙃

I can’t do just one, what are you tryna do to me Trouble is, I’m a weird person so while I think more people should watch Brick (2005), Push (2009), Buckaroo Banzai: Across the 8th Dimension, Immortal (2004), Wristcutters: A Love Story (2007), for example, I can’t be so sure they’ll like them.
