WHY DO THINGS LIKE THIS KEEP POPPING UP ON MY TIMELINE? Seriously, I have rather traumatic memories involving princesses and bananas. I'd prefer not to be reminded of such things.

I'm starting to wonder if all of this is my version of a mid life crisis. Some folks buy sports cars. I reminisce about doing sketch comedy in my 30s. I'm sure that's common for a lot of people, right?

Brilliant!

This captures the experience perfectly. My god, the feels.

I've seen people compare this to Don Bluth, Labyrinth, Corpse Bride, LOTR... I REALLY hope I can catch this in the theater.

OH. MY. GOD. I wasn't sure if I still had this, but I do. AND IT FITS.

There are a lot of "I was there, when...." moments. This is one of mine.

I'm really tempted to just block anyone who has the word "vibe" in any of their posts. There's only one main reason the word is used nowadays, and I don't like it.

3 Obama recently did a commercial for the Obama Presidential Center with Mark Hamill, who was on Batman The Animated Series with Tara Strong, whom I once interviewed while dressed as a rapper. I wish I was kidding.

I'm excited! This is a fun show with a clever concept.

No longer needing to buy an atlas to plan a trip. Or needing to stop to ask for directions. Yes, I know GPS allows Big Brother to track our every move, but it's just so darn convenient.

AI slop is the Smooze of the gaming industry.

Step 1 - Price everyone out of the game console market. Step 2 - Discontinue all physical game media. Step 3 - Offer time-limited cloud-based gaming as the only viable, affordable option moving forward. Step 4 - ???? Step 5 - Profit

When trying to reconcile issues in your past it can be helpful to remember that time heals all wounds. But there's also another possibility. Maybe there were never any wounds there in the first place and you just didn't realize it at the time.

Yes, because I've always wanted to think about video games the same way I do about parking meters.

Twenty bucks says they try to vibe code the next Mass Effect.

To all who were also part of EFR back in the day: Google your handle & "Everfree Radio". See what Google AI (bah!) turns up. It's pretty funny and a total ego trip. "Prominent community figure", indeed. 😂 ...What? I can't be the only one who Googles their own name sometimes

You know, it's true when they say that you can never go home again. But, you can still visit occasionally and crash in your old bedroom. I've missed this.

Stopped at wawa this morning to get breakfast. No lie, the cashier asked me: "Would you like to put the banana in the bag?" Instinctively, my brain started screaming NOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Today I reconnected with another old friend from back in the day. Feels great. THE PROJECT isn't just about the old days. It's also about the people I knew back then, and the friendships we had; friendships I wish I'd maintained.

You'll do WHAT now?!

Anyone remember the Simpsons ep w/ Frank Grimes? Had to fight tooth and nail for everything? That's how the past month has felt for me. Been hard finding time for THE PROJECT, which is low priority considering. But it is something i can look forward to, which helps. /)

Just finished Crystal Lake. I liked it. I liked it A LOT. ❤️❤️ #erma #jasonvoorhees #horror

Just got back from seeing Whalefall. Was expecting gross horror. Actually got a surprisingly poignant and inspiring film. Well, as much as a movie about being eaten by a whale can be, anyway.

Okay! Fine! I admit it! I didn't get rid of EVERYTHING.

Oh I did NOT just drive past the fricking ECTO-1 on my way back from the grocery store. 😲 Couldn't take a pic while driving so you'll all just have to trust me.

Revisiting old online haunts and discovering them to still be quite active feels both strange and wonderful. It's unexpected, but it's also nice to see that the flame still burns. /)

I suddenly have the crazy idea to write a parody of Manchild by Sabrina Carpenter called "A.I." A.IIIIIIII. Won't be writing any emails for me Tell me whyyyyyyy Folks get psych advice from ChatGPT

I try not to get too political on here but this is funny.

SHELVE YOUR BOOMERANG, TODAY YOU WILL BATTLE DESPAIR. AND YOU WILL WIN.

This is how the current X/Bluesky situation feels right now.

Being young

Thirteen years ago I actually gave an interview where I shared some words of wisdom about getting back up when you fall and continuing to run. Today, I'm finding myself needing to take my own advice. Thanks for the inspiration, past me.

In case anyone is wondering, I'm not "rejoining the herd" as it were (Though, like the mafia, does one ever truly get out once they're in? 😁) It's just that recent events have gotten me thinking along certain lines. ... certain EQUINE lines... /)
