How is it going over on Threads? Oh, you know, just awesome. Meeting with the police after some gamer threatened to kill me multiple times because I didn’t like how he talks to women.

Had the great pleasure of having the amazing singer-songwriter Laura Veirs onto Secretly Sporty to discuss her new album Temple Songs and her love of weightlifting classes, among other things. Thanks to @rattinger.bsky.social, as always, for co-editing with me. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

Horror authors, critics, filmmakers, and artists of BlueSky: do you have workout routines that inform or influence your work in some way? Would you be open to be interviewed for a podcast about creativity and fitness? Drop a line!

Was just informed that MIDNIGHT CITY, a short film I edited, written by the amazing @yurilowenthal.bsky.social, starring Yuri and @taraplatt.bsky.social, and directed by super talented @bill-watterson.bsky.social, won Best Short Film at GenCon 2026!

Four years ago today I published a spec trailer for M.A.S.K. Unlike a lot of fans of the franchise who use AI to make fan trailers, I searched for clips the old school way for months, relied on simple After Effects work, and painstakingly assembled everything over weeks. No prompts. Trailer below.

I’m at Glacier National Park in Montana. Drove past a group of white supremacists waving confederate flags and doing the salute. You know which salute.

I knew it I knew it I knew it. The M.A.S.K. comic is doing something very similar to what I did when I worked on my screenplay. What this tells me is great minds think alike. I love it.

Client found out my age and stopped short and stared in awe. “I would’ve guessed you were at least ten years younger. AT LEAST.” I’ve been riding this high all evening.

You know it’s love when your girlfriend stops at a random vintage toy store to ask if they have any M.A.S.K. items. They only had a toddler shirt from the 80s, but really, it’s that she thought about me that counts.

RIP Sam Neill. This one hit hard.

New M.A.S.K. issue! They didn’t have the cover I wanted but happy to get Vanessa since she’s one of my favorite characters.

Went to see Hitchcock’s FRENZY at the Academy Museum, with a masterclass by Guillermo Del Toro. What a treat.

SUPERGIRL was fun. Incels are lame.

I can’t even begin to tell you how happy this makes me. For years I’ve wanted to see M.A.S.K. back in the spotlight. We had a brief ten-issue comic run in 2017, but I want more. Now to get myself the gig writing the film (my idea is not too far off from this comic so far, even the T-Bob tease!).

Congratulations to Smaug! He plays a vital role in our world with his innovation and work ethic. Now if you’ll excuse me, it seems Esgaroth is somehow on fire.

Last year I took these photos and posted them to all the Facebook M.A.S.K. groups I’m a member of. Several other fans were pissed and insulting, but the moderators kept the images up because they support the message—and I support the LGBTQ+ community. Happy Pride!🏳️‍🌈

Revisiting an old classic. It’s been almost 35 years. I’m laughing quite a bit.

Pro tip: Do not put your steaming hot coffee next to the bowl of pistachios you are absent-mindedly snacking on. You WILL put your fingers in.

My gf is sick so yesterday I drove over to sneakily drop flowers and soup at her door. I could hear her on a work call but she spotted me through the window and thought “I know that hat!” She poked her head through the door as I reached my car. Her smile and joy at seeing me will feed me for days.

When a character dies on a bad TV show, I like to pretend the actor is celebrating getting off that sinking ship.

My girlfriend, who is regularly the smartest person in any room, just listened to me rave about how Elmore Leonard wrote the single word “Mad” to describe a character in MR. PARADISE and it is magic and poetry… And she just let me go on like that for ten minutes. And she still likes me.

1/2 From the introduction to QUINCE at @sxsw.com: “One of my favorite things about programming Midnighters is there’s a full spectrum of things that we can do. We can do scary movies, we can do it over the top comedies, dark comedies, we can do huge gorefests…”

I’ve never been to SXSW. Was able to reserve for a few screenings but have no idea how to make it into other events. I guess I will find out… by trying. To say I have no idea what to expect is an understatement.
