YFW your government is so incompetent that it lives out a 45-year-old song about the end of the world being caused by incompetence.

MAGA: So pro-life they'll kill your children.

This entire administration is composed of Dick Tracy villains who think they're Batman villains, do more damage than Superman villains, and should be treated like Punisher villains.

Liquid Sky Smithereens Repo Man Hardware Desperately Seeking Susan Suburbia (during a pre-release preview when it was still titled The Wild Side) The Evil Dead (1981, though I saw its US release in '83) Koyaanisqatsi Dawn of the Dead (1978) UHF Halloween (1978) The Wizard of Speed and Time

In yet another example of how the RPG and comics industries abandon their creators, longtime designer Ross Issacs is in serious financial straits due to sudden medical issues. I've backed his campaign. Can you help? If nothing else, please spread the word. Thanks! gofund.me/067554463

So, then - totally on-brand for Trump and his enablers.

Dear Democrats: MORE OF THIS, PLEASE.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

Imagine being a professional journalist announcing with your whole chest that you don't listen to lyrics or read song titles.

Our nephew Ian has been after me for years to write a lit.RPG novel. Until recently, though, everything I'd read in that genre was kinda dogshit... #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #Writers #AmWriting #WIPlash #litRPG #DungeonCrawlerCarl

Yay, Seahawks! Congratulations! Normally, I couldn't care less who wins what Sportsball game. Given that this sticks a massive thumb in MAGA's eye, though? I am totally here for that.

ICE bros seem to think they're action-movie heroes. In reality, they're the mooks the hero kills on his way to fight the final boss. They're not even the cool henchmen. Just the mooks. And the audience cheers as they die.

If you like the sound of playing powerful undead revenants back from the grave to face the toxic nostalgia for their past, with a focus on breakneck action, interpersonal drama, and occult investigation, back this Kickstarter now! Game by @floaker.bsky.social. www.kickstarter.com/projects/flo...

Y'know what I miss? It's silly, but I miss it anyway. Going into Woolworth's, or Memco, or Waxie Maxie's, Penguin Feather, Dragonsong Records, Plan 9 Records, or some other temple of 33 1/3 RPM iconography, and seeing row after row of sonic talismans cloaked in enigmatic designs.

#BreakingKindSongs #MusicChallenge #MusicSky February ️6️⃣ - By a singer you thought was cute or hot when you were a teen. I saw this record while out shopping with Mom when I was 16. Wanted to buy it but didn't want her to see me do it. Went back later but it was gone. youtu.be/yiN9sfsQZsI?...

Nice to know that the current president depicting the first Black President and First Lady as gorillas isn't considered "something today that actually matters to the American public." But hey - since KKKaroline suggested it... www.semafor.com/article/02/0...

Imagine what sort of soulless nightmare a person has to be in order to be AN ADULT WHO ATTACKS CHILDREN while bearing GUNS, TEAR GAS, and FUCKING BODY ARMOR. Every. Single. One. Of. Them. Deserves. Prison.

Because our cops and Supreme Court are corrupt, our Congress are cowards, our system is bought and paid for by bajillionaires, and our founders were stupid enough to put both law enforcement and our military under the president's command. www.bbc.com/news/videos/...

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose. Also, Magneto is right.

More wise words from @drleocroft.bsky.social: You don’t have to stop loving the art. You just have to stop renting out your nervous system. Because the moment you start pairing every circus with that one question, the factory starts losing power. The spell cracks... medium.com/@drleocroft/...

The 2020s suck! Quick! Let's go back to the 1990s for an hour with Ben Riggs, Wolfgang Baur, and me. youtu.be/dYThl7bUzZ0?...

Our Constitution is essentially a bunch of rich white dudes pinky-swearing stuff to a bunch of other rich white dudes while yet another bunch of rich (and until recently, exclusively) white dudes declares "Nuh-UH!" or "Uh-HUH!" to those pinkey-swears. Trump proves it holds no more weight than that.

Today, Feb 1, at 7 PM ET, the livestream collab with Elsie and WyrdFamiliars will begin: www.instagram.com/elsiewants Join us to ask questions and meet some new human and non-human friends.

MAGA: Release the Epstein Files! MAGA: *sees what's actually in the Epstein Files* MAGA: *has deep-seated appraisal of self* MAGA: Shoot everyone who disobeys Donald Trump in the face!

I'd been listening to Glass this morning, and I've loved his work since my teens, so it makes me happy to see him publicly denouncing Trump. Too many of our Boomer/ Gen X icons have gone full MAGA. I wouldn't have expected Mr. Life Out of Balance to be among them, but weirder shit has happened.

#MusicChallenge #That70sChallenge A song you understood only later in life. "Gomper" is British slang for "moron." This song is Mick Jagger sneering at hippies in general and Beatles fans in particular. youtu.be/iVUJLt6LMqM?...

Sweet review for my book Breaking the Devil's Bread.

Big Greggie just learned the meaning of the word "consequences." Poor, poor Greggie. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

My core writing rules: 1. Keep your audience engaged. 2. Keep things moving. 3. Maintain dynamic tension. 4. Even stillness holds quiet tension. 5. Each scene or paragraph demands conflict.

#Epstein #EpsteinFiles

Hard truths call like a winter crow caws for his ground-corpse dinner dried and packaged scattered on the ground as bodies fall on distant soil and vast illusions crack and pall forgotten by pretense of law and Nature reminds what humans forget and the crows feast on unheeding of a nation's fall.

Someone may want to tell the "smart money" people that domestic chaos is profitable only when it happens in somebody else's country, not in your own.

No one believed but what they wished to believe about eating the cats and eating the dogs or about their Gigantis and his hillbilly Apprentice as some flawed instruments of their mighty God dying their caps in eagle's blood pixel deceivers in draft-dodgers' garb costumed mythologies

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

Dark tales for dark times. Breaking the Devil's Bread, featuring "13 stories and an oops," published by @nightmarepress.bsky.social. Available in Kindle, epub, and trade paperback through all online booksellers and select retail bookshops.

Amendment 47: A loyal Militia being necessary to the security of a senile TV star's ability to provide profit for himself and his enablers, the right of the people to be harassed, assaulted, detained, arrested, looted, imprisoned and killed without warrant, trial or appeal shall not be infringed.

I look forward to seeing the NRA announce that today's murder was perfectly okay and he had it coming and ICE are lawful agents of lawfulness upholding the law so sit down and shut up, libtard, before we come over there and kill you too. Because Freedom.
