And as always, if I don't make it back for whatever reason, I love you all, including my haters. Please avenge me.

Hey, BlueSky People. I'm going to be trekking around Spain from this afternoon until April 26th. Any and all complaints about my absence, or my behaviour on this here website, can be forwarded to @magnumt.bsky.social, who will direct you to the nearest garbage chute on this floor. Thank you.

She was basically describing M. Bison.

What's extremely funny to me about Magyar and the Tisza Party winning in Hungary is that they're a centre-right political party, but all the ghouls mourning Orban's loss are acting like he got overthrown by Che Guevara. It's amazing how far-right folks absolutely loathe moderate conservatives.

"made aware of a death" is how you know Israel just killed a Canadian. Nobody else gets that level of passive voice.

-I don't remember these tv shows/movies.

Thank you! So am I.

Freelancing only really works once you've established yourself as an industry professional and endeared yourself to enough clients, even better if you've got some royalties coming in to keep you afloat during slow periods.

Trying to hack it as a full-time writer nearly destroyed me back in 2015/2016, and it took me a Very Long Time to love the craft again. My comfy public sector job has done a lot more good for me creatively and spiritually than the feast-or-famine world of freelancing.

This. All of this.

I spent 30 years as a "hired gun" freelancer who'd just come in and do whatever people were willing to pay me to do, and I got to do so many cool things, but it nearly destroyed me (and did destroy several relationships, not to mention my credit rating).

hey! I'm opening up a couple of character commission slots as other jobs come to a close. DM me or email me via my linktree if you're interested!

I loved Sailor Moon when I was 11, and was Really Confused when other boys made fun of me for liking it.

Like, A: it's a fun show. B: I was an eleven-year-old boy watching a series about FIVE GIRLS IN MINISKIRTS FIGHTING MONSTERS. Go ahead and question my masculinity, DEREK. Preteen Me loved that.

Sending a box of stuff to the poor guy who had his MÖRK BORG books confiscated and burned by the Georgian police.

I'm a pineapple on pizza apologist. Go ahead and call the police on me I WANT TO GO TO JAIL

One way we can solve the Male Loneliness Epidemic is by making porn harder to find and even harder to obtain. Bring back pervy magazines and VHS tapes that you need to hide in your sock drawer in case you have company. Gooners would be gone overnight if they were no longer cranking to their phones.

Epstein survivors have released a statement responding to Melania Trump's earlier comments:

"First Lady Melania Trump is now shifting the burden onto survivors under politicized conditions that protect those with power: the DOJ, law enforcement, prosecutors, and the Trump administration"

Also ...didn't he hire the bankers responsible for the Recession to work with him? That's kind of like getting shot and then your doctor hiring The Guy Who Shot You to help with the surgery.

so they’re stealing.

All the money in the world and they’re stealing from the customers

Basil @LinkofSunshine People on twitter will really be like "you believe in voting? that pales in effectiveness to my strategy, firebombing a Walmart" and then not firebomb a Walmart

this is getting thrown around a lot today, and I want to let you know: people on twitter aren't going to *tell you* if they firebombed a Walmart

I'm okay with Studio WIT tackling a new One Piece anime, but I want different voice actors. Like, imagine Saori Hayami as Boa Hancock, or Daiki Yamashita as Usopp, or Yuichi Nakamura as Sanji. Let the legacy cast like Tanaka and Okamura and Nakai pass the torch.

The 90s are generally regarded as a step down for John Carpenter, but In the Mouth of Madness nearly redeems the entire decade for me. It remains cinema's best Lovecraftian homage - a singular look at the apocalypse and a fascinating dive into horror as a concept.

Three hundred followers? Hell yeah.

An edition of The Art of War where every piece of advice is followed by stuff like “for fuck’s sake” and “you gotta think here pal”

Here me out: take all of it. Take his shirt and shoes.

Got my new desktop set up, and it's a behemoth of a machine. We're back, baby.

As Canadian pundits react to the NDP's new leader, an anti-Zionist Jew, now is great time to learn more about CIJA, the organization that claims to represent Canadian Jews but primarily serves as an unofficial Israeli lobby.

Fucking horrendous. Is this worth your cartoon avatar? Your crap logo? Stop. Using. AI.
