Pain is an interesting and off-putting thing. Few if any things in life concentrate our attention so completely and terribly, and few things are more boring to listen to or read about. — Dan Simmons, The Rise of Endymion

To me, it was a 2025 Gulliver’s Travels. So needed and so well executed.

Espinosa’s in Bedford, TX. Their salsa was divine and the enchiladas were fabulous.

That sweet tomato sauce and the Splatterhouse arcade game stand strong in my memory. I used to work two or three doors down.

He also wrote the shit out of some ST:TNG novels. Great man.

Sci-fi. Autocorrect did me dirty.

Service Model by Adrian Tchaikovsky is a recent sci-do novel that absolutely blew me away.

His work in JFK is exceptional, but my favorite is invasion of the Body Snatchers.

That’s a pretty good sales pitch. I enjoyed the crap out of Bullet Train.

Though it’s only a cover, I still think my all time favorite Soundgarden song is Fopp.

It was the first track of theirs I ever heard and I still love their take on the song.

Don’t get me wrong, I adore their catalog, but this one always makes me smile.

Congrats to everyone involved in making The Residence on @netflix.com.

What a supremely entertaining season that was. And that cast is extraordinary.

This was such a fabulous book. Syrupy thick satire that peels like an onion as you read.

I have a big ask. My 9yo son is autistic and he’s been raising a betta fish he named Kevin. Yesterday He asked if he could “share a photo of Kevin with the whole world“. I don’t know if this will work, but a dad’s gotta try. Like and share if that’s your thing. Kevin says hi! 🐟👋

No one likes that Tool, but I’m happy she’s getting a nice paycheck.
