Do not ask for 🧊!

Fixed it.

Don’t threaten me with a good time.

Crockett or Talarico? Piquant, bold nouvelle cuisine? Or warm, hearty cucina italiana? I'm all about hearty christian cacciatore, but Chef Crockett is serving up flambé du trompe like you've never had. I'll save the protestant e fagioli for the general & spice things up with Jasmine in the primary.

The crime of extortion includes obtaining money, property, or something else of value by using a threat or force against the victim, the victim’s property/reputation, or the victim’s family members. The threat coerces the victim to give up their assets or information.

OMG Europe, liberate me. Liberate me HARD. Liberate the HELL out of me.

Here's a great column about the racist fallacies underpinning the right's notions of "American Heritage": www.ms.now/opinion/elon... And here's a much more succinct summary of how invasive populations like the English-Scots-Irish steal native authenticity:

Viva la raza, y chinga tu MAGA (I'm at the bottom).

Immigrant thugs from Britain are murdering women! Conservatives, say her name: Lucy Harrison. Denaturalize & deport her father, right? Then swarm Dallas with ICE? Round up all the other violent white criminals? 24/7 hysterical coverage on Fox? Right, MAGA? RIGHT?!? … … … Hello? Megyn Kelly? Anyone?

I'm human & fallible. Sometimes my worst inner bigot gets the best of me. I posted an anti-Christianity crash-out last week. Unacceptable & over-the-line. It's a nuanced line. Animus vs institutional church & corrupt practice is fine IMO… but I went too far. I recant it & regret it. I'm sorry.

I'm putting "tools not rules" to the test. I don't & won't write fanfic. I have too much respect for other people's IP & the work/craft/art behind it. But I'm blocked, y'all. I have projects mentally written, ready to go, but I'm stymied. So I'm gonna write a spec for AFF's teleplay competition.🤷🏻‍♂️

BRO. Nobody believes you. Right, left & center all know you're lying. Sure, whip out those Solzhenitsyn & Arendt chestnuts. Except this is the US of A, land of the insufferable hyperentitled. Unlike 🇷🇺 or 🇩🇪, we gladly scream, "Fuck you I won't do what you tell me," at chronically lying authorities.

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

I can't believe it took so long for this 💡 to light up: Was EYES WIDE SHUT a film à clef about Epstein? Did Kubrick *know*? Was he *murdered* in 1999?!? This timeline gonna make me lose my mind, ain't it.

Today's #OneSentenceHorror: When the #KillerShorts 2026 quarterfinalist list was posted on 16 Feb, neither @eric-writes.bsky.social nor I was on it! 😱 Don't worry, it's just a nightmare…? Break a leg, my friend. Ditto to everyone else who entered.

I've written many, many lame jokes in my life… and quite a few good ones. Some of them even won awards (see filmfreeway.com/TheGospelAcc...) and some were so offensive they got me canceled (see filmfreeway.com/TheGospelAcc...). This one somehow got missed. I'm kinda ticked about it. I think it's 🔥.

Shocking development!

Yes sir, wilco.

No, McDonald's, I would not like a "Hot Honey McCrispy™". I shall also decline the "Hot Cleveland McSteamer™" and the "Colorado Honey McMudslide™", thank you. And don't you get any ideas either, Carl's Jr. You even think about naming a burger the "Hot Carl™" and we're through, pal.

They do bring up a good point. I’d rather have fewer gold medals and less fascism.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

This is a perfect example of Ethical Hacking in action.¹ ___ ¹It's actually not, don't do anything illegal y'all.² ²But it would be in an ideal world.

"I would like dinner and a show, please." "Okay. What do you feel like?" "Chop Suey." "And what show do you want to see?" "I said Chop Suey!"

When they come for me—and make no mistake, they will—this is how they're going to get me. It'll go something like this: "Police, welfare check!" (Through Google cam) "Hi, you're being recorded. May I have your names, badge numbers & agencies please?" "We need you to come outside." 🧵

I did not write this. But I may as well have.

Impeach, arrest, and prosecute them all. Anything less is being complicit.

No, MAGAts. You're the ones flipping off America. And we reject you in turn. 🖕Every 🖕🏻privileged 🖕🏼conservative 🖕🏽white 🖕🏾patriarchal 🖕🏿christian Your intolerance is no longer tolerated. Time's up. Get out. You have 3 years until Nuremberg II begins.

#MMW this joke will be apropos soon: The United States is at war with Mexico. The United States has always been at war with Mexico. #OrwellianProphecy

I and millions of Americans believe exactly the same thing Kasparov does. Too many troops, too many new prisons, too much money not under Congressional supervision. We're not just witnessing a mass deportation scheme anymore. This is something significantly bigger and scarier.

Um, WTF is happening in El Paso? #ELP
