Started the new year with a new (still part-time) role within Disney—Senior Contributor for StarWars.com (and more 🤞).
Thanks to fearless EIC @kristinbaver.bsky.social for all her help and guidance! It’s been a dream writing for the official site.

Fantasy author and RPG writer Jean Rabe has passed away. She was known for her work at TSR and the RPGA, but she also worked on WEG’s Star Wars d6 RPG. In Galaxy Guide 12, Rabe wrote up several alien species including cover model Ephant Mon’s Chevin (with other aliens by @infinata.bsky.social).

I shall call it ‘dogshit,’ then.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella says people should move beyond calling AI 'slop'
"We need to get beyond the arguments of slop vs sophistication and develop a new equilibrium ... that accounts for humans being equipped with these new cognitive amplifier tools as we relate to each other"

A pretty crazy and productive 2025 at FANGORIA. Here is everything I worked on that got printed. We have a great team and it’s been a joy to work with everyone at Fango. Pretty wild stuff and excited for what new projects I get to work on in 2026.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Highlights of the year include discovering George Wylesol, listening to David Lynch and Al Pacino’s audiobook narrations, and finally reading 11/22/63–perhaps the best book I’ve read in years.
