I need to do a part 2 on this, but over the weekend at #WonderCon2026 I figured this was the best way to call out some of the creators I met and wanted people to check out.

Both @rylendgrant.bsky.social and @davallone.bsky.social will now know how seriously touched I was to be included in this. You make me think I'm maybe doing some good stuff. Thank you all.
The second part of our conversation... I'm still not sure Leo came out in favor of his own company. :)

My friend Leo Partible has joined with an AI platform that aims to be "assistive" in production, not generative. I was and am skeptical, but we had a productive conversation in 2 parts on the Fanboy Planet podcast...

I talked with my friend @monstermatador.bsky.social about his new project #Mercy now on @kickstarter.com --

Judy Tenuta lives in "It Happened: The Judy Tenuta Story" now playing at #cinequest. I talked with the multi-talented #taylorblackwell about her creation of this 12-minute biopic.

To be honest, I'm following this one closely. I got a preview look at the graphic novel, which still hasn't actually come out. But #TheDevilsTrain looks like what we want: original IP, to be shot independently, and for me, probably more than a little insane.

Actor Kristin Kreuk co-creates a gothic horror comic set in Ottawa during the fur trade. @joebocardo.bsky.social makes it look pretty good.

Writer Chris Yates makes his comic book debut with #MarcusWalker:KingslayerProtocol launching March 3 on Kickstarter!

I hope you don’t have to drive much… rain turns us all into blithering idiots on the roads.
In the spirit of both The Traitors and the Olympics, I'm flashing back to 19 years ago when one of the coolest and oddest interview opportunities came up for me: Peggy Fleming for Blades of Glory. Good times. Simpler times.

I was surprised at how much I loved that novel. Haven’t started the new one yet, but it taunts me from my bookshelf.
Working with a therapist on being not so obsequiously white. :)
Hey! That's me! @jmbrandt.bsky.social
Our editor @jmbrandt.bsky.social hosted an Instagram Live last night, and it felt like a telethon as we watched the Kickstarter pledges go up. Thrilled to say #HorrorNotHate funded last night, and is still climbing today. Join the party!

To me, this isn’t a political issue. It’s human rights. As in, I believe in them and clearly many people don’t.
I was having a fairly good day. Went to a comic con. Hung out with friends. And then the last cousin I still talk with went no contact because by reposting an admittedly dark humored meme about ICE, -I’m- the one promoting hate. It’s going to get worse before it gets better.
2/2 I should add that I went through 2 of his experiences. A marketplace in Syria where terrorists exploded a bomb (which I think was uploaded to Steam) and a border incident south of San Diego in which a migrant was beaten and killed. Both were devastating.
ICE is now responsible for 66% of the homicides in Minneapolis this year.
The right does not know the meaning of the word hypocrisy. Nor of the Constitution.
I met the man who created Call of Duty, about 12 years ago. He regretted it, and as penance was taking audio and video of traumatic incidents and turning them into VR experiences so a viewer could feel the emotional pain. I think of him a lot right now.
And I’m not happy about this shift in my attitude. Those bastards have lessened all of us.
My whole life I’ve been against the death penalty. Coproduced a theatrical production of Dead Man Walking. Spent time with Sister Helen. I want arrests of those complicit. I want public trials. And if there’s a death penalty, so be it.
I’m not going to share the video, but I just watched it and ruined my Saturday. This isn’t “another shooting.” This was another murder. Fuck ICE.
I loved it because it’s so deeply personal while being ridiculously entertaining. And oh, yeah, the Batman lore goes deep.
Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)
That is a perfect description (and question).
