Right on! Looking forward to it!

How can our group (the Let’s Make a Movie team) help?

“Don’t let politics destroy relationships” can be responded to with “Don’t destroy relationships and call it ‘politics’ to excuse it” or even “If you didn’t want this relationship destroyed, you would have selected different ‘politics’. to embrace.”

Thunder rumbles. I turn to New Guy. "You know what that means?" I ask.

New Guy hesitates. "Thunder...?" he tries.

"A footrace challenge from the building next door. Our team wears copper hats."

Colleague pops his head in my office. "Is it Copper Hat Time again?"

I nod.

New Guy now very anxious.

Near as I can tell, part of the Free Bonus you get wwhen you buy a cheap-ass keyboard iss that you get a keyboard where the key debouncer circuit only workss "when I feel like itt asshole."

Any other writers/filmmakers in my circle going to WorldCon Seattle next week? Wanna get together?

Has anyone explained to Trump that sucking Putin’s dick “in Alaska” is:

1. Still in the US, as “Alaska” is technically a state,

2. Real (Alaska’s motto does not start with ‘What happens in Alaska…’),

3. Still sucking Putin’s dick.

I feel like no one’s openly calling it a dicksucking adventure.

Oh, I’m sure the percentage is higher than that.

The messaging flooding out onto social media about hating EVERYTHING that isn’t highly-branded Republican is overwhelming.

I’d wager he could rip a baby in two, and then tell people “It was a socialist commie baby” and they would nod with approval.

Sounds so cool!

It’s so weird being so open about hurting a demographic that’s trained to shoot and hit their target.

I mean, seems like a dumb move to me.

Thank you!

How the hell did this account -- which appears to be SPECIFICALLY spamming for engagement and data theft -- get so many followers?!

I kinda wanna see if there's a porn version of the 80's classic "Highlander," but called "Thighlander," but on the other hand, I'm afraid it'll never live up to my expectations and exacting standards.

Sidenote: should I kickstart that?

Stopping ICE is doing the Lord's work!

"When a stranger sojourns with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt." -- Leviticus 19:33-34

Awesome possum! I’m arriving Wednesday also.

I’ll be running the Let’s Make a Movie workshop, which is also a ton of sessions, but if it’s okay with you, would love to meet you in person, just to say hi!

Oh, are you going to be at WorldCon in Seattle?

If only I had the authority… :/

I thought it was lush and crazy and gorgeous. I hope you enjoy it!

Sheriff apologizes after legally blind man is arrested when cane is mistaken for a gun The Columbia County sheriff said the Oct. 31 arrest of James Hodges, who is legally blind, was "unacceptable." Two of his deputies face suspension without pay.

“We’re going to seriously consider thinking about maybe discouraging cops from harassing and arresting BLIND PEOPLE.”

All cops, man.

It’s a right-wing strategy: “if they won’t let us hurt those people, maybe we can convince them to hurt those people themselves to gain our favor (which we would never do anyway, haha)”

Nowadays, we gotta hold ‘em underwater until they stop being Bad Guys.

Usually 8-10 minutes.

Per side.

I will be traveling and staying in Grapevine, TX for a few days coming up.

Any frens been there? Is there any especially-cool places to stay there that wouldn't be evident on a Google map? Any areas to avoid?

Local expertise is very welcome!

It feels like so much progress in the US depended on the honor system.

I might seem childish, but it was Speed Racer. My first impression was "this is just a mess," but a few years later, I sat down and really WATCHED it, and then I saw how deliberately they created their chaos.

I felt like I had shaken the cobwebs from my head.

Exactly!

Somehow we all realized that this was the best way to address that.
