For the past few years, the team at Brooklyn Horror have kept a slot in their schedule for @certifiedforgot.bsky.social — even as they’ve grown. It would mean a lot if you could help us spread the word and fill the house next weekend.

Always curious when people say "discussion" if they think that means engaging with someone else or someone else engaging with them. We should all strive to be a better supporting character in the lives of others.

Candles are our greatest invention as a species, and I will never stop searching for another perfect blend of pine, campfire, and leather now that my favorite candle company is shutting down.

You have done well to bring me this.

I have said since I was a kid that I would drop everything and fly to Seattle for the World Series if the Mariners made it. I feel like I have to at least half-plan for this outcome as an possibility if we hold onto tonight’s game. #GOMs

Jorge Polanco 3-run go-ahead HR

He has 8 RBI this postseason

Matt Monagle @monagle.bsky.social · 12h

I’m sorry, but Jorge Polanco has more lore in two seasons than guys like Tino Martinez and John Olerud. On narrative alone, he’s a beast. #GOMs

Like this is so fucked.

Pitches 6 and 8 called balls when they’re on the strike zone. Resulting in a walk that extends the inning and ends up driving in a run.

The secret to being a Mariners fan is knowing that the good things are never as good as you hope and the bad things are always worse than you feared. It's why you can go up 3-0 in the first inning and feel like you're three runs down. #GOMs

Julio Rodriguez 3-run homer in the first

Matt Monagle @monagle.bsky.social · 14h

The Seattle Mariners are so goddamn lucky to have Julio Rodriguez as the face of the franchise. No, he's never going to be a plus contact guy, but he's 24, already has THREE 5+ WAR seasons under his belt, and has the most infectious personality. He's Mike Cameron with Ken Griffey Jr. vibes. #GOMs

Decided to take a break from the bars and listen to today's game on the radio. I've always loved baseball on the radio, and I wouldn't mind hearing some of the Root Sports crew one last time, since we don't know what next year's MLB contract will mean for them. #GOMs

well STAY TUNED FOR OUR NEXT EPISODE OF CERTIFIED FORGOTTEN, friends, where our guests half-hated it, half-loved it.

Matt Monagle @monagle.bsky.social · 15h

I described it to Andrea and her reaction was, “… OK.”

Matt Monagle @monagle.bsky.social · 16h

Of course! Excited to check out your other stuff now!

Cal Raleigh has sparked more legendary shirt .gifs this postseason than I ever imagined possible. #GOMs

Matt Monagle @monagle.bsky.social · 17h

Just finished two very different books in the last week. VEIL by @jonathanjanz.bsky.social is an action-horror hybrid that’s an absolute romp. OUR WINTER MONSTER by @equinoxsociety.bsky.social is a melancholy depiction of a broken relationship — plus, you know, a monster. Both come recommended.

Cover for VEIL by Jonathan Janz features an alien hand poking through a portal.

Cover for OUR WINTER MONSTER by Dennis Mahoney features a shapeless monster made of snow.

Nope, still a great read. Also very helpful — I had read about the novelization and was curious about the changes, so thank you for scratching that itch.
