Johnny Eponymous

Of all the Star Trek actors I had the pleasure of meeting, Walter Koenig was the one I was most excited to meet as it happened not at a convention or show, but at a movie theatre. A sweet, sweet man.

#birthmonth - what is your unlikely Unsolved Mystery solution? Mine is that the Princes in the Tower disappearance was simply a Royal cover-up of a murder-suicide. Close second - The JFK’s head just did that

How did I not know that Jerry Seltzer founded the Sonoma International Film Festival? That seems like the kind of thing I absolutely should have known?

Remember: Vote Yes on 40 and No on 42.

#birthmonth - You're a part of planning a gala. You may choose what the waiters who will walk through the gala carrying trays will be bringing around. What foods are you choosing??? Bonus points: what is your gala theme

#birthmonth - It's One Meal day. You've been given a universal gift card good for one meal anywhere. You're allowed to bring either a fictional character or a book. 1) Where do you eat? 2) What do you order? 3) Who and/or what do you bring?

It’s #birthmonth!!!! Let’s start easy - tell me of your favorite t-shirt ever. Bonus points for pics.

No Dogs in Space has returned with episodes about The New York Dolls and I always wished I'd have seen them. I did see Buster Poindexter three times!

Maps are fun.

Clavicular charged with rapign a seventeen year old? It's almost as if looksmaxxers are doing it as a part of a grooming scheme.

Jack Cartwheel, Mini Vikingo, Nathan Fraser and Rey Fenix are having one of my all-time favorite matches! These four are a lot of why I watch AAA!!!

If'n you wanna understand why I'm so much for expanding the Hugo for Best Professional Artist to explicitly include 3D art, take a look at www.selmaferiani.com/exhibitions/... as a start. Her statement certainly spells things out.

We’re working on making issue 2 of Literature for Laundrymats, and since we don’t have a grant this time, we gotta fundraise! ko-fi.com/literaturefo...

The next Drink Tank is all about the Justice League of America! One of my favorite comic teams in history (pretty much only trailing Doom Patrol and The Challengers of the Unknown) Deadline is October 10! claimsdepartment.weebly.com/deadlines.html

“Donald Duck is garbage.” Another pearl of wisdom from España Sheriff.

I am having an amazing time at World con! The kids and I danced at the Scalzi dance, Bella yammered at a scientist who yammered appreciatively back, and I just had a wonderful time chatting. Come to the fancy lounge! Sign the yearbook! 

“Chris Garcia is what happens when Patrick Rothfuss and George RR Martin don’t write the end of the joke” Howard Tayler

Dolly Parton in 9 to 5 was one of the key films of my youth. And of course she was a hell of a performer and a great human being.

First stop complete! We got gas, the kids got snacks, and I got a chicken and cheese roll up from the AM p.m. The coffee is also wretched. #theroadtoworldcon

I wrote a thing about the LACon Fanzine Lounge file770.com/fanzine-loun...

I wrote a thing!

@octothorpecast.bsky.social had a statement that shocked me…Popeyes is better than Nando’s?!?!?!?!?!

NEW! It's a Claims Department that looks at the Hugo Award for Best Professional Artist and Best Fan Artist claimsdepartment.weebly.com/claimsdepart...

Ok, it’s now official: I’ll be handling WOOF, the WorldCon Order of FanEds at WorldCon this year! It’s gonna be PDF-based (if you want a print version, send me a note) and I’ve set up a WOOF-specific email - woofapa@gmail.com. Deadline is 745am Pacific time on August 30th!

Chelsea Green!!!!! The absolute right choice! Summerslam rules so far!

New!!! Journey Planet on Art Galleries, exhibitions, and David HOCKNEY!!!!! www.journeyplanet.org/journey-plan...

WorldCon is gettin' busy for me! I'll be running the Fanzine Lounge, and hopefully doin' a cool project in there! I'm doing a Documentary in there (and elsewhere) that will take bread-based question and makes something silly out of it. AND officially doin' Dinner with Friends again!

Though I’ve never been there, I’m pretty sure Dynasty Typewriter is me spiritual homeworld.

I desperately need someone to draw the Trojan Horse as a Mecha!

This humorous illustration from Marvel's short-lived Blip magazine in 1983 (https://archive.gamehistory.org/item/da656e05-14c0-4e5f-9ac5-04974063f4c3) miiight have been goofing on the number of Pac-Man spinoffs already in the market, huh?

I wish Blue Sky was around during the run of The State. What memes we’d’ve had!!!

For years when WWE was the only game in town - “We want competition!!!” When WWE starts acting like the competition is competition: “how dare they!!!”

I guarantee Trump will present a splash of actual real evidence alongside a mountain of lies and misinterpretations. His idiot followers will point to the puddle of facts as proof, ignoring the ocean of lies.

Sam Neill was an actor who wasn't flashy, but was always dependable and always working. I loved him in The Dish.

Looks like Graham paid the price for keeping Mitch alive for all those phone calls…

Tiger Mask IV has retired. While Sayama was the one who changed the game, and TM2 was Misawa, IV was an incredible performer for so long that he deserves even more attention than he’s getting!

Bella needs this bumper sticker

Kat says things way better than I ever could. A perfect response to the current Hugo limitation proposal file770.com/role-creep-a...

NEW!!! The Drink Tank taking a look at the 2026 Hugo nominees!!!! claimsdepartment.weebly.com/the-drink-ta...

NEW! My look at the 2026 WorldCon Business Meeting agenda, complete with rant! claimsdepartment.weebly.com/claimsdepart...

Working on an open letter, I realized something; they are not meant to change minds. They are meant to turn people who agree with you into people who will fight alongside you.

There's apparently "number of finalists for an award" discourse happening, and I'll just say this: If they did work for the thing, they deserve recognition for the thing.

NEW!!! Journey Planet 95 dedicated to our new Centaurian Mel Brooks!!!!! www.journeyplanet.org/journey-plan...

Went over the WorldCon Business Meeting agenda. >clears throat< Fuck F.7 Limitation on Listed Contributors for Hugo Finalists. Wanna limit the number of nominees? It will limit diversity of nominees and basically make teams make choices as to who actually matters. That sucks.

Finally, Denny’s is eligible for Best Related Work Hugo award!!!

NEW!!! The first 2026 issue of Drink Tank! This is a special one about the history of German Fanzines!!! claimsdepartment.weebly.com/the-drink-ta...
