Evan Ozimek-Maier @semanticelite.bsky.social · 02/01/2026Celebrating Pokémon’s 30th anniversary and then remembering I felt slightly too old for that “kid thing” back then really twists the “I’m old” knife. 000
Evan Ozimek-Maier @semanticelite.bsky.social · 19/11/2025Had a blast at @edgarwright.bsky.social’s cerebral powder keg, The Running Man. Breathless, prescient, source-faithful, and a solid reminder they don’t really make em like this any longer. 000
Evan Ozimek-Maier @semanticelite.bsky.social · 11/11/2025Watching the crew cut down a dead tree in front of my house is the best TV I’ve seen in a while. 000
Evan Ozimek-Maier @semanticelite.bsky.social · 22/10/2025And here we are at that point in life when I’ve traded worrying about my parents hearing naughty lyrics to worrying about my child hearing naughty lyrics. 000
Evan Ozimek-Maier @semanticelite.bsky.social · 23/09/2025It’s fall and Caramel Corn Chex is a 10/10. 000
Evan Ozimek-Maier @semanticelite.bsky.social · 22/08/2025Just spied a kid in a park playing with Devil Sticks. An obvious arbiter of what else is soon to return with a vengeance: yin-yang necklaces, slap bracelets, aliens, that one Charlotte Hornets windbreaker… 100
Evan Ozimek-Maier @semanticelite.bsky.social · 30/07/2025Welp, that’s it for me. The SNL cast looks like kids and I’m dead. 💀 000
Evan Ozimek-Maier @semanticelite.bsky.social · 24/07/2025So are we just going to have to listen to boomer music in every public space until the heat death of the universe, or…? 000
Evan Ozimek-Maier @semanticelite.bsky.social · 11/07/2025Cyberpunk, as a sub-genre, has always somehow operated in this fascinating gray area between covetousness and condemnation. Will that dynamic tilt to one side of the scale when our fiction eventually becomes our reality? 000
Evan Ozimek-Maier @semanticelite.bsky.social · 04/06/2025I’d give anything to pick Sartre’s brain on Microsoft developers. 000
Evan Ozimek-Maier @semanticelite.bsky.social · 02/05/2025Really sad about the @polygon.com layoffs. I’ve been an ardent fan since back when @griffinmcelroy.bsky.social was stuffing plastic toys in his gob, and so this corporate buyoutification feels like losing a bunch of good, old (parasocial) friends. 000
Evan Ozimek-Maier @semanticelite.bsky.social · 09/04/2025Thank you, @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social, for your absolute gift of a quote on your recent @99pi.org guest spot. “I refuse to feel hopeless” is exactly the right message for exactly the right moment. 000
Evan Ozimek-Maier @semanticelite.bsky.social · 27/03/2025Good. God. That seventh episode of Paradise. 000
Evan Ozimek-Maier @semanticelite.bsky.social · 26/03/2025I’m fascinated by the Venn diagram of people I see at The Moth readings who I can only describe as “NPR extroverts.” 000
Evan Ozimek-Maier @semanticelite.bsky.social · 17/03/2025Why is it that 200 hours in some games feels like a Herculean accomplishment of patience and fortitude and in others feels as if things are only *just* clicking into place? 000
Evan Ozimek-Maier @semanticelite.bsky.social · 14/02/2025Today’s amazing, accidental band name, as heard on the Besties podcast: Monster Closets. Thank you, @plante.bsky.social, for your contribution. 020
Evan Ozimek-Maier @semanticelite.bsky.social · 12/02/2025“Soul poverty” is one of the most devastating things I’ve read in recent memory. Also would make a great band name. 000
Evan Ozimek-Maier @semanticelite.bsky.social · 12/02/2025We live in a world in which there’s a band called Flying Mojito Bros, and that fact is like a salve for the soul. 000
Evan Ozimek-Maier @semanticelite.bsky.social · 06/02/2025Old man rant inbound: Back in the day, I would have KILLED for a push notification about a snow day. Today’s kids will never know the abject misery and eyeball pain of hopefully staring at a scroll on the bottom of the TV screen and waiting for it to “go back around” at 5:00 in the morning. 000
Evan Ozimek-Maier @semanticelite.bsky.social · 28/01/2025It says a lot about the power of nostalgia that I am currently more excited to play my new retro gaming handheld than I am my modern, high end console. 000
Evan Ozimek-Maier @semanticelite.bsky.social · 28/01/2025Enormous thanks to @cynthiapelayo.bsky.social for putting #2025pit together today. 050
Evan Ozimek-Maier @semanticelite.bsky.social · 27/01/2025How is it that winter—yes, cold, blustery winter—has climbed so zealously in the season rankings of my middle age? 000
Evan Ozimek-Maier @semanticelite.bsky.social · 27/01/2025What if the only way to rebuild a fractured family is to embrace the cracks? That’s the question Richard & his children Caleb and Sammy must face through loss and grief in my multi-POV manuscript A YEAR OF AWKWARD CONVERSATIONS. Comps: THE BEE STING & THIS IS WHERE I LEAVE YOU. #2025pit #A #LF 108
Evan Ozimek-Maier @semanticelite.bsky.social · 27/01/2025A blank page never scared me. Now, too many *full* pages, on the other hand… 020
