Random horror movie night with daughter unearthed the movie "All Eyes." Ben Hall's performance is inspired. The characters are so good you almost don't care if the monster is real or not. A gut punch that knows exactly what you're expecting and does something else. Gonna write a long review I think.

I don't know if I have any fellow Battlebots fans around here, but Chris Rose is one of the most deranged, unhinged sports commentators in the business, and I, for one, love him for it.

It's my birthday, and to celebrate another turn around the sun I'm starting a newsletter on mental unhealth and creative work. Check it out, subscribe if you're into it, let me know what you think!
Guns and Butter
I'm starting this newsletter about the convergence between artistic endeavor and mental unhealth at the sanest I've been in years. The thing is, I think I wrote better before I got treatment.

Congrats to all, but especially to @jvgachs.bsky.social. I read an early draft of Spooky Lovers and it is an absolute and utter delight. Love story, ghost story, true-crime-inspired thriller tale. Trust me when I say, you're gonna want this novella on your shelf.
