It's not like I couldn't use a buck because I absolutely could; but even if they are offering me a legitimate cut, this isn't how I want to make a buck.

Heads up, fam, someone reached out offering to mint a "Nostalgia Coin" crypto product commemorating my work as Von Lycaon. I have rejected involvement and requested they not use my name/image/etc. for any crypto business. If you see anything out there suggesting otherwise, it's not my bag, baby.

If sustaining your reality requires erasing the entire existence of a grieving father's child, your reality does not deserve to live. I salute @bencollins.bsky.social and everyone involved in reclaiming this principle. There is SOME reality we all share. It's not a fight we chose but it's essential.

The end of Boomer monoculture was necessary. A) It wasn't great for everybody! And B) It was an illusion manifested by the rise of mass media coinciding with this demographic anomaly where our boys came home from Nazi-killing and f*cked like madmen. But feedback loop-bespoke realities can be worse!

A young David Caruso in a 1981 episode of "Hill Street Blues," wearing a top hat and a leather vest decorated with an embroidered shamrock patch, playing the leader of a street gang known as the Shamrocks.

Watching old episodes of "Hill Street Blues" with my Dad and I was not aware that this was a recurring character of a dangerous street gang leader in a primetime cop show.

Like if you'd be happy to see, once a year like the Halloween or Christmas revisions, a seasonal "Weird Al" makeover of a Disney ride turning it into a parody of itself. Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Forbidden Pie? I don't know, man, I'm not on Weird Al's level let him figure out the details.

That's a new one - go to a screening of a movie and discover that I'm IN said movie. Funny ol' business.

Right now? Eating some dope mulitas. Soon, seeing a screening of a film that I gave to the crowdfund for.

I mean, anyone who gives Ryan Kavanaugh money to do anything at this point without doing five minutes' worth of due diligence should not get to act surprised by how this turns out.

Two local children's theatre companies are doing "Disney's Newsies" this summer on overlapping dates; so basically if your kid doesn't even get an ensemble role in one then they really tanked it, you should trade them in for an 8-year old with more hustle.

In a still from 1962's "Mothra vs. Godzilla," a woman seen from the waist down walks by a newspaper stand; according to the subtitle, today's headline is "FAITH IN HUMANS SHATTERED!"

I can't read Japanese so I don't know if this newspaper headline from "Mothra vs. Godzilla" is translated accurately but it feels applicable on a tragically regular basis.

You know you enjoyed a writing gig when after you finish your final step you circle back to submit an invoice and think "WOW and I get paid, too?!"

A political writer coined the phrase "vice-signaling" as the opposite of virtue signaling, where people show off their willingness to be petty & toxic within communities where such behavior confers clout. Denying oxygen isn't a viscerally-satisfying response but it can be effective.

It's awful because there's no upside to letting trolls know that they've hurt you; and yet no one should have to pretend that the level and volume of harassment that happens at times like that are acceptable. May we someday show our battle scars together with pride, Sean.

When I held out, if they had no intent or permission to clone voices, we could resolved it in a day with a couple of emails and a one-paragraph addendum. Free positive headline for them! That it stretched for months was all the indication needed that they at least wanted to keep their options open.

California League is Low-A, just one rung above the Rookie League. But there was one home run last night! And a lot of fouls that went flying into the concourse.

Our $23 tickets included a T-shirt; serious bargain.

We had a great time judging people who appeared on the Jumbotron during the "Hug Cam" segment but would not hug.

The 66'ers are descended from the Spirit - Griffey's jersey was painted on the wall of the press box!

A furry red mascot holding a frying pan stands on top of the visitor's dugout at a small stadium with dark clouds and a baseball game behind him.

Holy 7th-Inning Stretch, Batman, this post took off while I was sleeping. Fun to see all the love of the game out there - we're definitely planning future outings. Here are a couple more shots, including Bernie the mascot who was very disappointed in us all. This view cost just $23.

I was at the bar when the "Beer Batter" special hit - if the batter was struck out, beers would be $2.50 for the next 15 minutes. The strikeout happened and the bartender sighed, picked up his phone, and said "Siri, set a timer for 15 minutes."

Went to a minor-league ballgame tonight and man, strong recommend as a cheap night out. The Ontario Tower Buzzers defeated the Inland Empire 66rs 2-0. We got to give a foul ball to a kid. The mascot went feral on someone with an inflatable bat. 5 stars.

harrison ford & jessica williams sing every morning by sugar ray - Shrinking YouTube video by rebelstasia

For 20-ish years Harrison Ford was as good at being a movie star as just about anyone has ever been, so now that I'm watching "Shrinking," seeing him freed of blockbuster responsibilities and just riffing in human-scale comedy mode is a legitimately beautiful thing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=URCe...

Last night at my desk, a teeny-tiny spider descended in front of me. I swatted it.

Minutes later, a second & third teeny-tiny spider. They were coming through my window screen so I sprayed the hell out of it & shut the window.

Got in bed. Teeny-tiny spider landed on my arm.

I did not sleep well.

Closeup of actor Chow Yun Fat, disheveled and sweaty, aiming two pistols while wearing a heavily-bloodstained white suit.

Saw the 4K restoration of John Woo's "The Killer" (1989) at @thefridacinema.org last night and man, so much depends on the power of Chow Yun Fat to carry the audience over wild emotional swings and preposterous story beats because he maxed out his charisma stat and I love love love it.
