The constitutional remedy for a president who uses collective punishment against people for the crimes of a few is impeachment, removal, and disqualification, followed by a criminal trial.

I'm busy applying to film festivals and planning screenings for our horror film, DEAD MEDIA. If you need/want to make a tax deductible donation before the year is out, we could really use the help to get the film out there. Thanks for all the support! Full info here:

People on Bluesky have mostly taken this as intended: an absolutely inconsequential joke about pizza shapes. Over on threads, Iâve blocked seven people, turned comments off, and had to do deep breathing to control my anger.

Coming out of a bagel place in NYC, was about to dig in to my toasted sesame and cream cheese but some guy roughly snatched it from my hand and took a big bite, then walked away backwards, giving me the finger as he wolfed down the rest (disgustingly). As you probably guessed, it was Kevin Costner.

Scrooge: You there, boy, what day is it? Me: IâI donât know. Itâs somewhere between Christmas and New Years. I think maybe a weekend or a Tuesday? Are Tuesdays weekend now? Netflix just released some Stranger Things, does that mean anything? Is it future? Is it past? Is the sun moving in the sky???

âRain smacked Los Angeles. It splattered on the palm trees, sizzled on the neon, gurgled down the dirty boulevard. The town was sick. They hadnât seen sunlight in almost a day. But I had the cure. A fifth of magic and a sack full of cold, hard joy. âHo,â I said once. It was enough.â -Noir Santa

A reminder that the fascists who tried and failed (given its circulation on social media) to suppress the 60 Minutes report about the illegal and cruel actions of the Trump administration are the same fascists who really, really want to buy Warner Bros. I hope that fails, too

Hard to express how much I love this. Twitter is the Nazi site for Nazis. Delete it, ESPECIALLY if you're a famous person or political leader. Abughazaleh does a great job explaining that it's also TRASH and doesn't even let you reach your audience. Get the hell off.
