Somewhere in America today, people are fighting for the rights of immigrants, the civil liberties of those illegally detained, and the vindication of those improperly prosecuted by this farce of an administration.

Someday, one of those people will win the Nobel Peace Prize.

Trump never will.

The news that Donald Trump did not win a Nobel Peace Prize is akin to the news that I did not win an Emmy.

I wish we could do a boycott to get Colbert to keep his show too, but nobody has Paramount+ to begin with. #jimmykimmel

I was reliably told celebrating political violence was cause for government reprisal and private sector termination.

I just finished "Orconomics" by @jzacharypike.bsky.social and it was a great time - a crew of washed up adventurers get a second chance in a classic RPG-setting world where the economy is based on adventuring. Following the concept to it's logical(?) conclusion leads to a twisty rollercoaster ride.

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

I don’t think anyone should die from gun violence. It’s horrible that it happens so frequently; that it’s cost us so much; that we’re all so numb to it. It doesn’t have to be this way.

I really wish Charlie Kirk didn’t get what he campaigned for. We’d all be better off if he didn’t. Even him.

"I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights" - Charlie Kirk, 2023

Just finished the audiobook of Dragonfired by @jzacharypike.bsky.social . It was fantastic and I can't wait for what the 8th age has to offer.

Highly recommend Orconomics/The Dark Profit saga if anyone needs a book recommendation

Hey! What about whale babies?

Before I start screaming from the rooftops about my paperback release, something really cool showed up in the mail. The deluxe editions of @jzacharypike.bsky.social's Dark Profit trilogy. I had the honor of designing the interiors for these, so seeing them in person is awesome! Thanks so much Zack!

Today I learned that the hit single β€œLight Up The World” by the cast of Glee did not contain the lyrics β€œYou gotta give up the pumpkin pie.”

Makes much more sense now.

In my head canon, Batroc has a crush on Silk. He follows her around like Pepe LePew. #marvelsnap

Got to see @pattonoswalt.bsky.social at the Portsmouth Music Hall tobight. Amazing show, and I got to see the reunion of Shy Teacher and Drunk Principal out in the lobby.

Sigh. I know.

In the grand scheme of all the ways that Meta is helping to fuck over this planet, this is a small one. But it is yet another tiny data point that makes me feel better about packing away from using Meta products.

And if there’s ever a class action suit, I’ll be there for it.

I’m watching #elemental again and it’s honest to god one of my top 10 movies. Top 3 Pixar movies. Just fantastic.

Not enough people watched it. You should if you haven’t.

I feel like 90% of headlines for the next six months can be effectively replaced with β€œTotal Sack of Shit is Still A Total Sack of Shit.”
