Podcaster, gamebook designer, disappointment. Queer. He/him.
Observed my usual Remembrance Sunday tradition of going to a Quaker Meeting instead of the civil service. An hour of quiet prayer much preferable to the civil service.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Entering the 90s curtains phase of growing my hair out. I look like such a twat.

Pretty sure I've got the most tediously censorious take on the Celebrity Traitors it's possible to have but since Christmas is coming I'm treating you all to keeping it to myself.

Getting a new comics trade paperback and realising I need to reread all the previous volumes to get back up to speed is legit one of my favourite feelings.

Looking up ideas for vegan egg nog style beverages for Xmas and the first recipe I found didn't have any actual booze in it which might be the most vegan thing I've ever encountered.

Discovering there's a new Robert Crumb comic was an unexpected treat in the middle of a week I would describe as fathomlessly shitty.

Saw the most amazing Mormon Twink Missionary in town today. Sufficiently hot that I suddenly remembered how important interfaith dialogue is. Fortunately I also remembered that I'm a middle aged man with the eyes of a meth addict.

I sometimes think that these people who believe the end of the world has already happened might have a point. It is entirely possible it ended in 2019.
Bud Light Lemon Tea (2019-2019): Not a hard iced tea, but rather Budweiser's classic light lager, brewed with real lemon peels, and "aged on tea leaves." Released as a seasonal summertime offering, it never returned.

Good Halloween (Sinners and Weapons) is over and it's time to get back to bullshit horror tonight with Attack of the Beast Creatures from 1985.

As a horror obsessive I have a weird relationship with Halloween whereby I use it to catch up on actually good horror rather than the avalanche of bullshit that I normally watch.

We, a tech company, have made a functional thing that people like and that means the only thing we can do now is compulsively add more features until it stops working and people hate it.

"To figure out where you fall on this spectrum after you’ve stabbed somebody, ask yourself: Do you feel energized because you have engaged in a social interaction with somebody? Or do you feel satisfied because you’re alone now that the person is dead?"

Had my flu jab which is definitely why I'll feel shit tomorrow. Unrelatedly I bought cider on the way home.

I have achieved almost nothing today but I did finish original Doom episode 3 on Ultraviolence pistol starting every level. It's only taken me 30 years to get round to it.

Looking at the expected fulfillment date on a Kickstarter I'm considering backing and caught myself thinking "October 2026? We'll all be dead by then."

I think the main thing I've learned from reading all 300 issues of Hellblazer is that John Constantine is not a character who can sustain a 300 issue run. He's too destructive, there's only so many bridges you can watch someone burn before you wonder where he's getting them all from.
