Noticed an uptick in followers over the last few days and based on the bios, I suspect I have the @noproscenium.com Starter Pack to thank. So, it's probably worth doing a brief intro! Hi. I'm Michael: I run ARGN.com, and am based out of the NYC area.

Just got out of watching Digger, and the Times Square AMC was the perfect place to see it.

Affordable Biddy Blas Halloween Hat for Mr On Blast costume Widow's Bay antler hat cheap Dungeon Crawler Carl shoes, never worn

...oh no, all of a sudden I have the urge to learn how to do the 3-card monte trick. This is how magic shops get you, isn't it.

So mad at global warming for stealing all of the wonderful Ugly Christmas Sweaters peppering my feed. I need them all, but almost never get the chance to wear the ones I have.

Mentioned the "Soulmate Goose of Enforcement" in the cafe at work yesterday and everybody looked at me like I was crazy. Which is fair enough, but I wasn't the one who brought up the soulmates trope!

...updating the Wordpress blog backend makes me appreciate the fact that I didn't have to do that for the other places I write online. Some day these updates will come when it's not an emergency, I hope.

Oh hey, would you look at that - I bet some really cool people are probably running this PAX Unplugged panel.

While writing an article about the different types of scavenger hunts I played in the past year, I was confronted with exactly how many scavenger hunts I engaged with in the past year, and I'm not sure how I feel about that reflection in the mirror.

Does TikTok actually...work again? It's been borderline broken for so long.

In Wednesday 10/21, we’re hosting a behind the scenes video call for SLEEPY HOLLOW, 1998. We'll share secrets about how the story came together, reveal some of the inspirations and hidden easter eggs, and give you a peek at where Stamp Act is going next. Sign up here: luma.com/mx5hqbg5

Some day I'll actually remember to go to the Tompkins Square dog parade.

Babe wake up someone just discovered new code in House of Leaves, a 26 year-old book. www.reddit.com/r/houseoflea...

Much Ado About Nothing for Tax Purposes

The instant I heard <rumors> of this acquisition, I sent the editor this picture of Ryan at a Caveat event to celebrate. I plan on being insufferable about this book.

Close enough - welcome back, The Blacklist. James Spader is so great.

Got hoodwinked into signing up for a networking event without an emotional support current-friend. The NERVE! I have to be social on hard mode???

Every now and then, I'm reminded that the puzzle world is a small, hyper-connected community. The connections are almost always there, for those who stumble into them.

I usually don't angry post but,

So, I'm in this discord with...a very different puzzle crowd than I'm used to, and they've become quite insistent that zebra puzzles are really hard and can take multiple weeks to solve. Is this a thing? I feel like it almost has to be a game of puzzle difficulty telephone.

I’m at the Pizza Hut. I’m at the house of leaves. I’m at the combi s n e a v t a i e o l n fo esuoh & tuh azzip

Drosseltickets secured! The next few months are going to be so crazy.

None of you are surprised that I have been actively (and remotely) recruiting people for the Boston rat cult. C'mon, @talkwordy.bsky.social. You know you want to.

Finally, a Reality Escape Pod episode on how @bkuehner.bsky.social is the literal coolest!!!

Audiobooks to Listen To While Playing Mr Beast's "stare at your screen until you're incapable of staring anymore" book puzzle challenge (I'm just saying, Stephen King's Other Worlds Than These comes out tomorrow and clocks in just shy of 23 hours...)

Wow, Mr Beast does like his "who can stare at the screen the longest" challenges. At least the other puzzles were fun.

Neglected to share this earlier, but look at this nifty Taylor Swift Fan fan @bkuehner.bsky.social gave me!

I'm really good at recruiting people for hijinks, y'all.

Finally tackling Face Off after reading In Stormy Weather, and this is an all-time first sentence. "I've been around a lot of penises in my life, but the one six inches away from my face is the last one I ever wanted to see."

...dammit I forgot whether my pre-immersive bagel chain of choice is Liberty or Utopia.

I wanted to try writing a shaggy dog story, as essay. I'm still not sure how well it worked, but I enjoyed the experiment!

I spoke to @vulture.com about the nerdy pastime of "gridspotting," tracking down the provenance of crosswords in movies and TV shows.
