About Me — John Bullock

Several Medium posts have informed me that I have should have an about page on my profile, so here it is! — Bio My name is John Bullock, I am freelance content creator, YouTuber, fiction writer, and proud father careening towards middle age with all the grace of an inebriated giraffe. I studied computers in college (which was long enough ago that “computers” was something you could study in college), and followed that…

Short Fiction by John Bullock

A repository of short stories on Medium — In an effort to not let any of the many stories I publish on Medium slip off into the ether to be forever forgotten, I’m starting this post to keep a running list of them. It makes it easier for me to find them, but it also makes it easier…

A Guide To Arguing On The Internet

TLDR; Don’t. But if you must… — I’ve done more arguing on the internet than I care to admit. And, while I’m happy to say my days of losing hours to Twitter threads, subreddits, and various comment sections are behind me, that doesn’t mean I’ve forgotten those experiences. What those experiences taught me was that, ultimately, arguing…

8 Medium Titles And What They Really Mean

Sometimes, a Medium title is worth 1,000 words — Have you ever felt like the world is not as it seems? Like there’s some hidden code that you are not seeing, a code that would allow you to look at the same mundane world with new eyes, see new things, and possess the unmitigated power that knowledge grants? What…

This wording is so exagerrated it's almost bare-faced lying.

This wording is so exagerrated it's almost bare-faced lying. "Non-anorexic" might technically be true, but a more accurate way of putting it is she's obese. Possibly morbidly obese. And "being" 64 isn't keeping her out of this role. Looking 81 is. Jennifer Connelly is age-appropriate for Tom and looks as…

I can't tell you you're wrong for not liking a film, we like what we like.

I can't tell you you're wrong for not liking a film, we like what we like. I will say anyone who has seen it could probably have told you you won't like it if you didn't like the original. As someone who loved the original, this for me has been…

Corporate Machines

The customer is always expendable — It was never going to last,” said the voice at the other end of the call. Gerry pinched the bridge of his nose. It had been a long day already, and it wasn’t over. “Why can’t they just leave things be?” he said, “why does everything have to be tinkered…

George R.R. Martin Has a Hot Take

And it’s as bad as the ending of Game of Thrones — Like many people, my opinion of George has shifted over recent years. Where once I was firmly in the “George R.R. Martin is not your bitch” camp, I have come to hold a more nuanced take on the matter. To wit: he is not my bitch, but he can’t expect…

Ludicrously Talented Women On TikTok

ChickToks? No, never mind… — I recently came across a subreddit by the seizure-inducing name of r/UNBGBBIIVCHIDCTIICBG. Of course, this is just an acronym (albeit a ridiculous one) for “Upvoted Not Because Girl, But Because It Is Very Cool; However, I Do Concede That I Initially Clicked Because Girl”. If you need that breaking down…

Laced

Recreational c0de never harmed anyone… until today — The Factory was the kind of club that encouraged its bouncers to break bones, yet somehow still attracted the kind of people that got into fights. There was no queue outside because there was no wait. You were either let in immediately or you were turned away. And if you…
