Who me?

Just standing at the sink, finishing off the last of the garlic mashed potatoes from Thanksgiving, hbu?

bubs, i’ve only got two, maybe three Motown puns left in me. Four tops.

you know how i know im a 44yo dad? how much i laughed at this shit

Six copies of my new book for giveaways.

My giveaways came in. One for my artist, one for each of my test readers, and one to donate to the library.

Need them like I need another hole in my head, but I got back to back emails from American Spoon touting their new cinnamon honey and boozy butterscotch, and I’m having a tough time not ordering both of them.

Christmas menu finalized, huzzah!

Breakfast: ricotta pancakes w/stone fruit compote

In-between: charcuterie board

Dinner: grilled turkey breast, gravy, garlic mashed potatoes, stuffing, mac n’ cheese, broccoli rice casserole

Dessert: pumpkin pie, brown sugar cinnamon pop tart bars

just look at it

This has lead to a bottleneck in which established voices can make their dream projects, while new & diverse voices are struggling to get noticed, read, or their writing sold. I've never seen anything like it in my 25 years in the business. If things were hard for you before, they're even harder now

I haven't been very optimistic with y'all because I haven't been optimistic lately. 1/3 of shows, and thus writers rooms, are just gone. Because horror is one of the only things doing well, everyone is writing horror. But there's too much of it. Hollywood cannot make all the great scripts out there.

DOJ orders prison inspectors to stop considering LGBTQ safety standards A memo obtained by NPR shows the Justice Department is telling inspectors to stop evaluating prisons using standards designed to protect trans and other LGBTQ community members from sexual violence.

This is nothing less than institutionalized rape as collective punishment, a vile practice used by the worst regimes for centuries.

Remember folks, during winter every ten degree temperature drop lowers your tire’s PSI by 1 so it’s very important to go to the gas station and notice that the air thing doesn’t work and then do that five more times at five different gas stations

You’re absolutely correct, I fear.

Here's the one thing you should know when considering an AI startup:

Don't

Jesus Christ.

I alternate between wondering if they're utterly tone-deaf and pop culture illiterates, or if they're simply that evil.

So a right-wing terrorist trying to get Donald Trump installed as president. Declare the MAGA movement a terrorist organization.

The image is of a comic titled "Winter." Panel one depicts monarch butterflies flying. They say, "We take a long journey south." Panel two depicts a bear hibernating underground. It says, "I fall into a deep, impenetrable sleep." Panel three depicts a squirrel holding an acorn, with other nuts scattered around it. Off camera, someone asks, "How do YOU survive?" Panel four depicts the squirrel having grown enormously round after having eaten all the nuts.

It's hard to explain to normies how much effort Trump is putting into anti-trans policies.

This is like the 12th thing just this week. And there were 12 things the week before, and 12 things the week before that. There will be 12 things next week.

This is almost everything the government is doing.

MINNEAPOLIS - TODAY

The image is of a comic. Panel one depicts Santa Claus. He says, "Have you been naughty or nice?" Panel two depicts a happy dog. He says, "I am ALWAYS a good boy." Santa responds "Very nice!" Panel three depicts Santa again. He says "...And you?" Panel four depicts an orange cat climbing a Christmas tree, turning his head to look back at Santa.

Here I am signing the discharge petition TODAY to FORCE a vote on banning stock trading for Members of Congress. Everyone agrees this is wrong. Yet we still can’t get a vote. That’s Washington. And yes, it’s frustrating. (Video is AI simulation)

Excuse me. What?

In Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song, Sweetback beats a cop unconscious with the handcuffs the cops put on him. I think the State Senator should think about what ought to happen to people who keep slave shackles as souvenirs.

When all is done, the OU undergrad will have scored a 6 figure right-wing media contract, the higher ed press will still be talking about grading rubrics for conservative views, the trans grad student will still be getting death threats and have her life/job ruined. And everyone else will move on.

this is extraordinary. too many people in my profession have circled the wagons around someone who lacks the moral sense of a child

The President Who Never Grew Up Instead of focusing on governing, Trump spends his days chasing entertainment, attention and renovation projects that reflect a presidency stuck in adolescence.

This may be the most depressingly accurate description of how worthless Trump is. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

I have not, haven't had the opportunity, but they intrigue me.

My 2023 Chevy Trailblazer gets 36 mpg, and has all the room inside necessary plus is all-wheel drive on demand. Domestic carmakers still make some excellent vehicles, Americans just need to quit buying gigantic pickups.
