I've been meaning to reread NOSTROMO, but I don't think I can handle two failed democracies at once.

The world's a crazy mess right now. Overwhelming. Music gets me through all of it. If I share something that one other person enjoys, I'm happy. Little Walter has the right message youtu.be/cY7hnRaPJxM?...

Still haven't seen 99.4 percent of the Epstein files.

Epstein. Impeach. Indict. Embalm.

I keep thinking about this movie. Can't imagine why.

they’re abducting our neighbors and putting them in concentration camps and they’ll shoot you in the fucking face if you don’t cheer them on while they’re doing it.

Thinking about chucking it all and becoming a trapper.

My health insurance company Cigna was bought out by Healthspring. Now none of my doctors are covered and I can't refill prescriptions. I hate this place.

Our current political system. storyoftheweek.loa.org/2014/10/the-...

We really did use this chart in psychology, only the "fuck around" axis was labeled "novelty seeking" and the "find out" axis was labeled "manageability." This version took more explaining.

The pResident is a terrorist trying to prevent us from looking at his backers by withholding the Epstein files. RICO, anyone?

"The mountains are high, and the king is far away."

I will always believe this was the inspiration for the X-Men.

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

Francisco de Goya y Lucientes, The sleep of reason produces monsters (Plate 43 from "Los Caprichos"), 1797-98, Etching and aquatint, 216 x 152 mm (Metropolitan Museum of Art)

It's U.S. #media's manufactured consent that's freaking me out.

I just don't like how time consuming computer writing programs are. I've got a whole cast of characters in my head, profiled. I don't need their whole background, just the socio-political & personal history that created them. Is that old fashioned?

“What happens when a pulp writer refuses to modernize?” You get B.C. Bell, creator of Tales of the Bagman, musician, and unapologetic rebel. In our latest WriteStats interview, he talks pulp, pain, and purpose: 📖 Read: writestats.com/from-texas-t... #BookSky @bc30000.bsky.social

In the late sixties movie studio bigwigs were so culturally separated from the masses that they couldn't understand them and the studio system died. Now, take a look at our political system.

Narco-terrorist is a made up word. There is no such thing.

Im seeing discussions about consultations with congress, authorizations of force etc. I have to say this transcends any of what I would call sub constitutional technicalities. The president has gone to war with a foreign power and, it seems, kidnapped a foreign head of state on the basis of nothing.

Not going to write today? C'mon, just get your ass in the chair. One page, one lousy page. You can do that in your sleep. It adds up.

I wrote a book where that happened. www.amazon.com/Bipolar-Expr...

Signed on BlueSky and my comments went immediately to naming a kid wrong, one ex leaving because I was disabled, and another changing the locks on the door. Song writing-wise, that's A Boy Named Sue, I Just Can't Make It, and Move it on Over. I'm going to write some songs this year, too.

First two rules you learn reading Science Fiction? 1) Don't experiment on yourself. 2) Don't take orders from a robot. A.I. wants you to do both.

Good morning, kids. Be safe out there. 🥰

Happy New Year! If there's a big man in red furry clothes with a long beard and rosy wind-burned cheeks still hanging around, it's probably a homeless guy.

A good deal of my 2025 was three texts in one--two of them ancient--two pages a day, surrounded by reference material and three notebooks. Spent a lot time in 200 BCE. Probably why I blabber on social media.

"Will it cause more pollution to burn down an AI data center than the data center itself?" --Questions for the 21st Century.

I love that all the artists refusing to play at Trump's Kennedy Center are jazz cats. America's original rebel menace.

Woody Guthrie's New Years Resolutions. "Wash" your teeth.

If you blow your nose on a napkin that already has mustard on it you're going to look twice as disgusting.

What's a book you love that nobody you meet seems to have heard of?

“Just one more thing, Ms Bondi… … If The Epstein Files are a hoax, why the redactions?”

If you go back to the beginning of Lee Falk's The Phantom, he's a mixture of The Shadow and Doc Savage. archive.org/details/the-...

I think if you're a billionaire, by law you should have to play Robert Sheckley's little game.

Be clear on this historical fact: In 1955, the nominal tax rate during the Republican Eisenhower administration was 90% for all income above TODAY’S EQUIVALENT of $2 million. It remained near there until Reagan crashed it to 39% and taxed SSI for the first time to make up the difference.

"Write something AI can't." --Battle cry for 2026

#Writers A reminder, AI plagiarizes your work as you write it. www.transparencycoalition.ai/news/how-to-... (These assholes haven't even paid me the cover price for two books they stole.)

"Cultural Literacy" What if the culture isn't that literate?

Never forget that PINK FLAMINGOS is in the Criterion Collection. Just do the work.

They "discovered" that when mice are rewilded they become less anxious.And this surprises scientists? Being trapped, tormented by experiments makes them more anxious than being free in nature. They had to learn this? People experimenting on caged animals lose empathy, weakening basic understanding.

Gave myself dentistry for Christmas this year. Hermey would be proud.

This one is becoming tradition. I love when they're being chased by a herd of Santas.

Merry Christmas!

Seasonal Depression: It starts with "You should be grateful day" in November and runs until "Nobody could possibly love you day" in February.

A chance to call Republicans the Pedophile Party in front of your conservative uncle? This is going to be the best Christmas ever!

Moon Knight doesn't like child abusers either.
