Have you ever thought "today is the worst day of my life"? Yesterday, I was in handcuffs and diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. Thankfully, today we feel fine after tbe worst month of my life.

I am going through the worst depression ever. The person I loved the most in the world, took away what I love most in the world. I have been dealing with the loss for weeks, and the only conclusion I've come to is I dont want to do this anymore. I want off this ride.

So, I get a knock on my door and see a mail man standing there. I'm also, pretty baked. He hands me an envelope, and as I am signing for it, I question why, and realize it registered mail. At that moment I heard @marcmaron.bsky.social,'s voice in my head saying "this can't be good" All is well

Here me out. It's not perfect, but aew fight forever is a pretty damn good game. There are a lot of cool ideas, and I actually like the career mode. I think people expected way too much from this game, and put WAY too much pressure on it

I have said this a lot, but almost every time i open @fadeinpro.com, I see there is another FREE update. I paid once. And we are on version 5. This fucking company rules.

Sometimes dumb things annoy me here is an example. I did a hardware upgrade, got a new phone yesterday. I decide to take a cab from the mall, the driver, ripped me off, but whatever. What annoyed was, as soon as he sees my phone he goes "new phone?" And reaches for it, ro see it. Like, the fuck?

While working a gig tonight, one of my colleagues asked me why I am so quick to share self-deprecating/embarrassing stories that make them laugh. And I said simply "I genuinely don't care what people of me, I like getting a laugh, even at my own expense, and I'm a writer,so it may be bullshit" 😃

One of my favourite things about being a writer. Is the "writers revenge curse". Years ago, I was writing a story for client. At my day job, I had a shitty boss. So, I loosely based a villainous character who falls into a vat of shit after that dude. I got to blow off steam and be productive

I saw a clip of some guy at the aew ppv, running the length of the top rope, on two sides of the ring. Like an an L. Sometimes I see things in wrestling that makes my brain go "well that should be impossible"

Have you ever been so pissed at someone, but are also so much of a nerd, that during the course of an argument you flat out recited a monologue from a Shakespeare play? I was as suprised having said it as my friend was hearing it. It was then I remembered knows WAY more Shakespeare than me. Fuck

I spoke to my parents on the phone today, and at one point, speaking to my 78 year old dad, I ask how he is, but hear him drifting away like he is distracted, then mum pops on "We're fine." "Wtf?" "You're dad is watching tv, and got distracted by a pretty girl who came on screen" Never change.

This might be a hot take, but the Canadian actor Saul Rubinek, doesn’t get enough credit. He absolutely slays every single role he plays. I watched him in 4 or four episodes of a show called Person Of Interest, and yeah, he fucking blows everyone away on screen..

I have a confession. I feel like a bit of a hypocrite regarding the The Odyssey. I don't care about the casting, its a Chris Nolan movie, so that is enough to know the movie will be amazing, But, Enola Holmes 3, was filmed and set in Malta, but, 3 Maltese actors in the entire cast? That bugs me

I am such bad shape, I just did ten push-ups, only on the first 2 didn't require my knees on the ground, and even then, the last 3 were a struggle and I didn't get as low as I wanted. First time ive done push-ups in like a while. I gotta fix that bullshit

I don't know why. But over the past month, I have been, feeling more like myself than I have in years. More confident in myself, skills and values. Like ive woken up from a nitemare where I was an absolute pussy for too long.

Lately I've seen a lot of cosplay photos I admitly don't always know the charecters. But, fucking honestly, especially with the homemade stuff, I constantly blown away. That is a type of creativity that blows me away & is just beyond me. Then all the work that goes into making the thing. I couldn't

I saw the video of Elliot Page training. And I legit had the same two thoughts i see anyone, laughably more fit than I am. 1) "wow shit, that's impressive" and obviously that is training + diet Then its excuse time 2) "yeah,well. I think he was always kinda thin, so 6 pack is easier minus a gut..

One of the most fascinating things I ever read, was like a manuscript or something. I don't remember how I got it, but basically it was a book by the writer of Star Trek Nemsis And his challenges writing the movie, and his work on TNG, and collaborating with the actors, brilliant incite

I have been on adhd meds for about 3 weeks. Overall, I beleive they are helping me. The cliche fear going in: i hope the pills don't, stifle my ability to write or be creative The terrifying reality: my mind went like, a shitnado to a project manager. Huh I don't know how to feel about that.

I am not a fan of the whole "yeet" thing, but every time i replay a scene I am writing in my head, and I decide to start at the beginning, the first words I hear myself think are always "Okay, run it back" a phrase ingrained in my brain because the yeet stuff. Oh well, not every moment rules

Any time I see someone showing off really impressive cosplay, I realize why those costumes are best left to the realm of movies, tv and comics as opposed to real life. I mean, they look great but...they have to be so hot, and such a pain to get in and out of, bathroom breaks must be a pain...

The ultimate universal punchline to the Ricks, being married. They both INSIST on being called Rick, not Ricky or Richard, and ironically, both of them do not like their first names.

The Frantic Monkey @thefranticmonkey.bsky.social · 29/06/2026
I get that I am dumb sometimes. Recently a friend of mine named Rick got married, and his husband is also named Rick. I dunno why, but a couple who have the same first name, is the funniest and most maddening and adorable thing to me, especially since they insist on being referred to as Rick.

Writers should use whatever words they think appropriate to tell the story they want to tell. Readers should read or not read books according to the stories they want to read or not read. It's all very simple.

Here, is a dumb, thc tinged observation about back to the future 1 and 2. In prior to BTFF 1, the movie suggests doc burnt down his house for insurance and sold land to fund his work, which took 30 years. In BTFF2, he shows his strong ethics, by telling marty to get rid of the sports

I must admit, I wish Sami had a different belt. I mean that litterly. I have never liked the look of that title, easily my least favorite belt design ever, neck and neck with the spinner belt.

When I was a kid, thanks to a friend, I got exposed to all these awesome, like low budget made for TV martial arts movies staring guys like Don "The Dragon" Wilson.. I've been thinking about those movies again lately for the first time in decades. Brains are funny. I loved those movies

I fucked up morning. Around 2:30am I was about to go to sleep. Then, i suddenly think "I haven't seen back to the future in a while, it's on netflix, I am wanna watch the opening bit, when marti films rhe car and go to sleep." I went to sleep at 4am. What a great movie, ever performance kills

@joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social I just saw a bit you did about hulk Hogan, and laughed my ass off. Sir, every time I see you perform I genuinely have the same thought: "He could excel at anything he chooses, man am I happy he chose comedy" You're fucking awesome dude, thanks for the laughs.
