watching the original SPACE JAM with the kids and my four year old, who seems to be a budding film critic, just complained, "it's been so long and we're not even in space!"

Hey man, you‘ve gotta do what’s best for you on the art front. Always gotta keep that focus on letting your passions feed you rather than you feeding them.

DM me any time if you want to talk about your art!

Live, directed recording sessions are so electric. I love recording alone and really getting lost in my imagination, but collaborating with someone else who’s so passionate about the script really brings out incredible discoveries. 3 hour sessions just fly by.

“Ohio” is out on YouTube and Spotify! In this one, I play two dads with two very different goals—one in the framing story having a fun day with the family, and another in the final tale running after his daughter.

For some reason I was allowed to direct the latest episode of Tales from the Janitor, now with 10% more Lake Erie microbrews and 50% more sports-related depression.

A sampling of my summer reading:

Johnny Penney 🎙️ @johnnypenneyvo.bsky.social · Aug 3

When I was a kid, I drew comics, but no one could read them. So in 5th grade I decided to get some grid paper and design an all-caps handwriting where every letter was the exact height and width of the boxes to mimic what I saw in comic books. Still proud of Kid Me for putting in that effort

The Dreaded Abighoul @popeguilty.bsky.social · Aug 3

Did anybody else design their handwriting? I was like 22 and embarrassed at how childish my handwriting was, so I worked out how I wanted it to look and would just sit there writing the same letter over and over and over until I'd retrained my hand.

When Twitter started promoting literal Nazi shit in my feed I knew I couldn’t even passively use it anymore.

Mina Kimes @minakimes.bsky.social · May 27

The biggest endorsement I can make for Bluesky is that replacing Twitter with this app on my phone probably improved my general mood when I’m on my phone by 20-25%. I know there are better reasons but it is what it is!

Really loving Français Fantasy (Expedition 33) so far. Just an absolutely solid game all around that feels like what I remember PS2 games felt like (but know they weren’t)

Rumeysa Özturk’s release has been ordered, but her detention shouldn’t have happened in the first place.

Trump’s targeting of students like Özturk is an attack on free speech and our most basic rights, plain and simple. And every Democrat should have been treating it that way.

Stephen Miller says they are “actively looking at” suspending the writ of habeas corpus, which is only allowed when the US has been invaded or during an insurrection, which would not allow people to challenge their incarceration in court if they are arrested and detained.

One of the least flashy yet more moving Marvel films in a while that’s weighed down a bit by how by-the-numbers it feels.

Also: Julia Louis-Dreyfus is a stand-out as Valentina.

Johnny Penney 🎙️ @johnnypenneyvo.bsky.social · May 4

Thunderbolts* is entertaining and predictable at the surface level, a bit messy in ways that aren’t so obvious, and held together with a very strong theme of the need for connection in the face of low self worth, loneliness, and suicidal ideation that permeates every angle.
