Listening to “Romance” by R.E.M. - I’ve often heard about how Kurt Cobain cited R.E.M. as a fave and influence, and I feel like you can hear some of that in this track (I may be late to this party, but, just sayin’!).

More like tech than science these days. I just might prefer giant man-eating “terrible lizards” over our present (and foreseeable future)…

Longing for the day when playing a Wolfenstein game won't need to be the catharsis that it is... until then, "Tonight you are one of us!"

A little throwback to Mulder and Scully ringing in the new year (property of 20th Century Fox & Ten Thirteen Productions).

Happy New Year, y'all. 💫

Happy Mad Hatter Day.

"I wish to paint in such a manner as if I were photographing dreams." -- Zdzisław Beksiński

I'd say he nailed it. Infinite inspiration.

I've been quiet on here lately. About to start up a lemonade business with all the lemons life's been giving. If you have a fur baby, give them extra lovin'. Hell, give everyone you care about extra lovin'!

Happy "birthday" to The Godfather, released 52 years ago on March 24th. A masterclass of screenwriting, and of everything behind and in front of the camera coming together to make a cinematic classic.

(If you don't know the story of the cat, you should check it out -- it's super cute!)

Happy Pi Day! Be sure to thank your math teachers and to share some pie.

First aired March 4, 1960.

“...There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices…to be found only in the minds of men. For the record, prejudices can kill. And suspicion can destroy. [...] And the pity of it is that these things cannot be confined to The Twilight Zone.” #RodSerling

Thinking about one of my favorite literary lines of all time, from the short story "Survivor Type" from Skeleton Crew: “They say you are what you eat and if so I HAVEN’T CHANGED A BIT!”

IYKYK. Just one of the things I love about @stephenking.bsky.social. Thank you, sir!
