Penrod and His Twin Brother
I happen to know a Penrod with a twin brother: my own father. So imagine my surprise when I was browsing Wikipedia and found out they had a movie named after them years ago!

As Seen on TV: Children’s Media and its Role in the Modern Identity Crisis
…But not in the way you might think. I’m no conspiracy theorist, so before I get into any of this, I just want to point out that there are way more factors at play than just the media kids consume. That being said, I still think this is worth listening to. (Or reading, as it…

Look Upon Ye Mascots and Despair!
Sometime during March Madness (I make my bracket off of arbitrary factors each year, such as logo quality or mascots) I went down a rabbithole of sports mascots. I emerged a worse person in many regards, and now I’m here to inflict that on you. The mascots are from all sorts of sports — basketball,…

The Poetry Found in Permafrost
The other day in my archeology class we watched a documentary about ötzi the iceman, one of the oldest-ever discovered human mummies. Frozen in the ice of the Italian alps, found in such a perfect condition that his tattoos were still visible. There was something so powerful already about seeing this human being from such…

Spooky Scary…Safe Media?
Yeah, you heard me. I’m once again trying to hit the difference between the hardcore slashers I avoid and the actually fun spooky stuff I enjoy. Here are my personal definitions: Horror: media that is legitimately scary and explores frightening and often upsetting themes. This is where you find slashers, zombie movies, ghost movies like…

The Super Science Werewolf Party!
aka: a werewolf-lover who is generally dissatisfied with most werewolf media tries to Goldilocks the genre. Be warned! This post will contain mentions of blood, body horror, the horror genre at large, adult topics, and Twilight. What is this about? Listen, I believe that werewolves are one of the best monsters out there. They’re the…

Is it Dino Time? I Think It’s Dino Time.
Believe it or not, I am still very much into dinosaurs. I don’t really want to go into a career involving paleontology, because as much as I love it, I can’t actually do it. Way too much math and unreadable graphs involved. But I still love them and I’d love to make media involving them…

YOU Are the Tiger: My Guide to Caring for Myself
For as long as I can remember, there have been two groups fighting over what exactly people are: some people fall into the camp of “Humans are NOT animals! Our higher functioning separates us from those mere beasts!” and the other group champions the idea of “We are APE now and APE FOREVER!” I’m more…

A Beginner’s Guide to Animated TV Shows (for the casual binger to the seasoned fanatic)
I’m somebody with a special loathing for the animated tv show in the style of Family Guy, Rick and Morty, and Big Mouth. Using animation to tell empty, vapid porn jokes forever in an ugly style feels like a slap in the face to the entire medium. I enjoy a strong story, fun characters, and…

Movie Posters and So Forth
Well, after a grand total of about a month straightish, my streak of posting daily comes to an end. Oh well! I’ll certainly keep trying to update regularly, because as I’ve said, this is supposed to function as my golden record. It’s where I put my experiences, things that I enjoy, and things that I…

Short Horror Animations
I recently discovered that the man who created the Netflix animated show Hilda has a youtube channel, where he uses the exact same art style to animate creepy–but so far, genuinely cool instead of disturbing–mini-stories. This one is probably my current favorite: though he hasn’t made many yet, so time will tell. November 19, 2023

Lancetfish
Today I found out that this wild creature exists! Fabulous. I believe more animals should look like absolute prehistoric nightmares. November 17, 2023

Bobi and Paleoart
The world’s oldest dog died four days ago, at 31 years old. His name was Bobi and they fed him rice and chicken everyday. The one thing I love more than dinosaurs is dogs, because I’ve got one and she is the world to me. Dogs are…well. They’re the best thing to ever happen, really.…
