Writer of little to no acclaim I keep a blog over at https://reddreddington.wordpress.com/ Read it won't you?
I wrote a bit about how I tried to like the writing app Scrivener, and how I kinda don't really. reddreddington.wordpress.com/2026/08/05/i...
I Don’t Like Scrivener That Much
I’ve been writing for a long time now. I remember, as a kid, writing short stories on the family typewriter. I don’t know why I chose the typewriter, as we always had multiple computers in the hous…

Just thinking maybe, perhaps, possibly, it’s time to stop putting JK Rowling things in the crossword puzzle
Back in my day, we didn't use AI for "research." We scrolled to the bottom of wikipedia pages and just used their sources
This story is awesome
Chris Kohler@kohler.bsky.social · 6d agoPretty crazy stuff if you haven't seen it - a game store owner had a box of Super Mario/Duck Hunt carts that turned out to be - brand new - manufactured in 1993 (!) - an extremely late variant unknown to collectors nintendowire.com/news/2026/07...
Not sure why this is news, it's called a lunch break
I'm pretty good at keeping my reading habits up to date on StoryGraph. I even enjoy scrolling through and picking out the proper editions of the books I read. For some reason, though, I never remember to log movies I watch on Letterboxd.
No blog this week as I've been dealing with a persistent migraine since like Saturday. I'm in hell!

I was sitting in a public square, thinking about how best to sit in a public square and then I realized how stupid I was. This week's blog reddreddington.wordpress.com/2026/07/22/t...
Thoughts In A Park
I’m currently writing in public. There’s a square in town, at the corner of a busy intersection. In the summer they set up tables and chairs where people can come and go with their coffees, childre…

There’s nothing more telling than when a writer says “He’s the worlds stupidest dipshit, but I think he’s got some good ideas”
Gilad Edelman@giladedelman.bsky.social · 2w ago“I fucking hate him; I think he’s a scumbag, and you can quote me on that,” one progressive said about Richard Hanania. And yet, “I think, bizarrely enough, that he and I probably share the same broad overall analysis of the American right.” Read my piece here: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
Sure, I could read buzzy books and write about them so people will read my blog. Or I could read Dean Koontz books and not write about them because the only thing to say would be "I dunno, pretty solid."
Got the day off. Both the temperature and the AQI are in the 60s. I’m gonna get some eggs and coffee
I may not know soccer but I know a terrible match when I see one
please deprioritize twitter and use other social media
Last week I wrote a deeply personal essay about food and memory. This week I realize I'm a braindead hack that ripped off Marcel Proust's In Search Of Lost Time reddreddington.wordpress.com/2026/07/15/i...
I’m No Proust
Last week, I wrote about clams. I wrote about eating clams recently and how it reminded me of eating clams in the long ago. I thought it was a pretty good post. Personal essays are pretty far out o…

When did speaker technology go down the absolute pits? They're super loud now, sure, but have all the sound clarity of a decade old iPhone in the bottom of a metal trash can

Phil Lewis@phillewis.bsky.social · 4w agoA pilot jumped out of the door of a moving plane to his death, leaving the student he was teaching to fly to land the aircraft by herself. The student said he told her, "You know what you have to do, carry on."
