Patrick Wilson's Agent: A lot of offers came in! Which one of these horror franchises do you want to lead?

Patrick: All of them.

Agent: ...What?

Patrick: ALL OF THEM!

In a world of injustices, one more is that The Wheel of Time got canceled while Mayfair Witches got to continue

I started Season 2 of Mayfair Witches and I cannot believe a show of this low quality writing and acting can be in the same universe as the masterpiece that is Interview with the Vampire

All I'm saying is we never got a confirmed Maeglin death and my modern media brain tells me the character is ALIVE AND BROODING

All the insane antics of some very fascist people have at least gotten me to pick up my guitar and start writing music again. Considering recording this new tune i wrote

I have to agree with that TikToker who said Itachi exudes aura

Aside from my One Piece journey, I've been reading the Naruto manga for the first time. Some problematic relics aside, it's such a great adventure story!

I have been SUCH a defender of Xbox's trajectory since the start of this generation, and a big Game Pass fan, but this pricing really puts the nail in the coffin for me. This is the last Xbox I buy.

I'm really enjoying The Stormlight Archive in the middle of Oathbringer and I just feel like at some point when Eru Illuvatar designed me he was like "this guy's really gonna love series that don't hit their strides until 2500 pages in."

Nearing the end of Dressrossa in One Piece. I think this is my favorite arc after Marineford

I know Brandon Sanderson recommends starting the Cosmere with Mistborn, but I don't think that's the best choice for everyone.

I genuinely think I would have enjoyed all of his work more if I started with The Way of Kings.

If you're coming from a deep fantasy background, start with deep fantasy

I'm just delulu enough to believe I could become the One Piece narrator
September 1, 2025 at 5:14 PM
In other media, I've been reading Shadow Games from The Black Company series and I absolutely love reading Croaker as a narrator. Incredibly unique writing style and underrated book series.

I've been back on the One Piece run, up to Dressrossa. I'm not exaggerating when I say Oda has created the most consistently high quality story I've ever experienced

I'm finally watching Fleabag and what an incredible journey it is

The cruelty is the point.

If this isn't evil, I don't know what is.
The Trump Admin wants to talk about waste, fraud, and abuse?

Then let's talk about their decision to incinerate 500 tons of food that should have been sent to those who need it.

$800,000 of our taxpayer dollars to purchase the food and another $130,000 to burn it all.

Hit my usual goal of 52 early this year. Should I set a higher goal? What to?

We try really hard to keep the politics out of our podcasting to preserve it as a safe refuge.

But boy is it hard when there are truly abhorrent things happening on a daily basis.
