Me in high school (1990) after reading Neuromancer: “A cyberpunk future would be so cool to see!”

Sooo... how long do you think it’ll be until Cthulhu’s alarm clock goes off? I mean, if there was ever a year for it...

Midlife crisis is pretty great: I can suddenly relate to all the angsty music I related to when I was younger. Except now girls and being bullied have been replaced by dying and failure.

I dunno, maybe the Earth’s just had enough of our shit? 🤷‍♂️ #2020

Happy Holidays & Merry Christmas, folks. I'm having a "bah humbug" kind of holiday this year, and it really sucks. I'm focusing on the good things in my life right now & really hoping 2020 will be a better year. Hug your families tight, & never take the good times for granted.❤️

@ImaginWorldsPod Terrific series. Any plans on looking at No Man’s Sky?
