I’d based the entire concept of a non-started series on the innocent bystander who gets increasingly injured by being “in the wrong place at the wrong time” in a given action movie.
I love movies like Nobody or John Wick where a guy just staggers in and takes out a whole criminal organization in like a day.
Cause I just imagine a The Wire style task for waking up the next day to discover their years long case ended cause of like, a dog.

When I bought my @xtool-official.bsky.social P2, I honestly thought I’d get into the production laser-cutting business. But customer liaising holds 0 interest for me. Instead I use it for my own stuff. I love having a laser for random ideas. Like a laser cut bottle holder.

I don’t use Bluesky much and I regret it. To make amends, here’s a laser cut and 3d printed lit table topper is designed for my event. I kind of expect it to be stolen but whatever.

As a heavily-tattooed person, shows like The Bear are a reminder that people “get tattoos” randomly. Because there’s this.

Just so we understand each other, if you choose to not punish a criminal, that criminal will crime more. Felon in chief was never punished. So he keeps crimin’.

An escalator can never break: it can only become stairs. You should never see an Escalator Temporarily Out Of Order sign, just Escalator Temporarily Stairs. Sorry for the convenience.
Everyone has one Mitch Hedberg joke stashed in their brain like a squirrel to sustain them whenever they need to feel joy for 30 seconds and mine is “they say the recipe for Sprite is Lemon and Lime but I tried to make it at home, there’s more to it than that”

If I’m ever made CEO somewhere, I’m going to change my name like the pope does. And buckle up because you’ll have to say “and this is our CEO, Chewbacca Kirk”
“Chewbacca” because I’ll be fierce in the boardroom and “Kirk” because I’m also extremely charming.

One of my clients asked me to some out of scope work on a launched project saying “you could do it on Monday because it’ll be slow due to it being a holiday.”
Just so we heard the same thing, you want ME to work on a holiday on something that isn’t broken. For free?

You can’t convince corporations to not put plastics into chewing gum or siphon drinking water to make soda or profit off life and death medication. I have 0 in common with people running these because they have no soul.

I took a stand up comedy class last July. When it was done we all did our own 5-minute set. This march, I did an open mic and rambled for 5 minutes. Was fun but I don’t like being unprepared. Here’s my 1st set. Should I continue? youtu.be/gT9Fo6Y4n7Q?...

My favorite incidental piece of writing advice came from @stephenking.bsky.social where is says he doesn’t like using adjectives. It helped how I write emails to clients and posts about my work. Makes my communications more concise. If I misremembered and he does, then whatever. Still helped.

I feel like I need to disconnect from the daily horror show that is the news but also worried if I do I’ll miss the announcement that the US has invaded Canada and Greenland and I need to practice guerrilla tactics.

Our 18 yr-old spent almost a week working on a stop motion project. I made a quip that I doubted he’d do it again, but his work shows. I know he’d appreciate if you saw it.

For every order that’s unconscionable and dehumanizing, there are 1,000’s ready to carry it out. This is the awful truth. Telling someone to do something inhumane is one thing. Doing it is another. Worse still if they also believe it.
