When I Was John Fetterman I was one of the senator’s most dedicated consultants—until I saw a side of him that made me sick.

"The Fettermans of the world have cut off their own feet, and then gleefully rolled about on the floor, wondering why on earth they cannot walk."

Death comes in 3s?

Spotted a piece of Revenge of the Sith concept art I'd never seen before in the latest Star Wars Insider.

That's a good day in my book.

Finished season 3 of Yellowjackets this last week, and yeah, I think ending it after season 4 is probably the right call. I liked the second half of s3 better than the first half so hopefully it can end on a high-ish note.

One of these movies gave me a decent idea for a short story I'll probably end up writing at some point.

My Pennywise impression sounds the same as my Yoda impression.

Makes you think, doesn't it?

New album's good.

Russian drone sightings in Norway only 60 km from where I live? Things are literally starting to get too close to home. What a fun time we live in...

Just reread a short story I wrote four years ago, and somehow I didn't hate it.

I'm shocked.

Today's writing session was a lot of heavy lifting and not so much of my preferred lighthearted banter. Still, favorite line of the day was

"Isn't it possible you actually like her as a person, and not just because she's a girl who gives you butterflies in your tummy?"

Only 20,000 words to go of my current draft :)

Today's favorite line of dialogue:

"Yuck," exclaimed Susanne. "This is both gross and childish. Here somebody's drawn a – no, wait. Never mind, it's just a dick."

#amwriting #writingcommunity

Of all the dialogue I wrote today, this is my favorite line:

"Didn't she think it was suspicious when a thirteen-year-old complete stranger with a kinda cute serial killer notebook showed up on her doorstep asking her a bunch of weird questions about her nephew who died suddenly a decade ago?"

Fuck yeah Letterman

At least I've been writing more in the last few weeks. Only 25,000 words left of the draft I'm currently working on.

"We're going to have to learn to live with [radical right wing demagoguery with all its associated violence]" is:

- An abdication of responsibility.

- An abandonment of hope.

- A position only available to those who feel safe enough with an ongoing catastrophe to begin the work of normalizing it

It is the job of the Democratic party to sell and defend the policies that most Democratic voters want, not to present a candidate slate that is palatable to moderate Republicans who might switch if they hate their own candidate enough.

Christina Ricci’s Instagram spouting facts about Charlie Kirk.

Selma Blair on Instagram calling Charlie Kirk an incredible man.

Christina Ricci has always been better than Selma Blair, but this makes it even more clear and obvious.

Charles James Kirk, 31, died on Wednesday from a gunshot to the neck at a Utah Valley University campus event just as he was trying to deflect a question about mass shootings by suggesting they were largely a function of gang violence. He died with a net worth of $12 million, which he made by espousing horrific and bigoted views in the name of advancing Christian nationalism. The foundation of his empire was the group he cofounded and led, Turning Point USA, which is a key youth-recruitment arm of the MAGA movement. Kirk was able to launch Turning Point at the age of 18 because he received money from Tea Party member Bill Montgomery, right-wing donor Foster Feiss, and his own father, also a prolific right-wing donor. He was an unrepentant racist, transphobe, homophobe, and misogynist who often wrapped his bigotry in Bible verses because there was no other way to pretend that it was morally correct. He had children, as do many vile people.

There is no requirement to take part in this whitewashing campaign, and refusing to join in doesn't make anyone a bad person. It's a choice to write an obituary that begins "Joseph Goebbels was a gifted marketer and loving father to six children."

Watched the first season of The Paper, and it's mostly good.

rarely have I more acutely felt the dynamic by which Dems are held responsible for the rhetoric of every random left-leaning person on the internet and Republicans are not even asked to answer for their own personal words

Part of what keeps America so violent is the insistence that people perform care, empty goodness and absolution for white men who espouse hatred and violence.

It's 40 years since the release of Back to the Future - the start of an amazing trilogy. That really means there's no better time to watch the Flash cartoons I made twenty-ish years ago. They've been off Youtube for about a decade, but I just put them back up.

🍒 Whoa, what's this?!

UFO 50 is available right now on #NintendoSwitch!

#UFO50 #IndieWorld

This must surely be happening because I only just watched it for the first time last week.

For the sequel, they should just fully commit to it being a musical.

Still my most underappreciated post on here

YouTube video by ThatThomas The Lords of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring - Fan-made Cartoon Trailer

20 years ago, I made some silly cartoon adaptations of Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy and put them up on Youtube. 11 years ago, I deleted them.

This December, I'm reuploading them (with some "minor" touch-ups, because nothing's ever finished.)

Here's a trailer for Fellowship of the Ring.
