Severence is hands down in the small, hallowed realm of the very, very top tier shows i will witness in my lifetime. And the Season 2 finale was absolutely glorious to witness. Anything i say after this will involve many words of joyous profanity.

The Power Fantasy is one of the best comics i've picked up. Top of the craft. Cannot recommend it enough.

Since David Lynch died, i've been slowly going through his entire body of work. It's been incredibly enjoyable. My gripe, having nothing to do with Lynch himself is thus: When you finish one of his works, there is a desire to discuss with someone wtf was actually happening. Thus...

I have decided the time has come to get myself cancelled and i am going to do it like this: The 2018 remake of Suspiria blows the original 1977 cult classic film out of the water. There. I have blown up my life and reputation before anyone else could.

I am here for the relentless mocking of Elon Musk. Pick a hobby that brings you joy, i always say.

Re: Elon Musk's "Roman Salute" (wink wink) - First thing i thought when i saw a photo was, you have to be a moron to accept a still photo of someone with their arm out. Any jacka** can find a frame of someone with their arm out and claim it's a nazi salute out of context. So i found the clip.

5 reasons why The Shining is a Christmas movie 1. Snow 2. Red rum 3. Hyperactive kids 4. Big snuggly jumpers 5. Huge family row ending with someone putting an axe through the door.

Someone just reminded me of a phenomenal sci-fi/fantasy book you simply MUST read: This Is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone. It's short and the prose is eloquent. Two women, Red and Blue, on opposite sides of a time war. I'm getting all mushy just thinking about it.

One of the joys of making music is when you're doing a big finale type track, and so your day is spent in this high intensity, big, epic emotional state. It's really quite ecstatic.

Block instantly and voraciously. In the long ago times, when social media was a pup and we still thought the internet could educate and lift us as a species, i fully embraced open, free, wild speech. Ah, how i recall those threads that ballooned into 100, 200 replies, everyone all capping...

There is nothing lower than Belgrade taxi drivers. Okay, if we bring up current politics (shoot me now) i can go lower, but barring that, it is definitely Belgrade taxi drivers. It's not just me, you want to get anyone who lives here going, just bring those *^%#!*^&*s up.

I have a storytelling axiom that revolves around the dance of subversion vs satisfaction. The idea is that a good story should have elements that both subvert and satisfy your expectations.

The time has come to reset my social media. I have zero interest in interaction with a certain toxic presence. May i drown myself in the arts and folks touched by the fae. Its a much better way to go.
