Artists contribute, add value. There's always an unimaginative parasite nearby waiting to poach. We can support artists.

I've been writing seriously for over 20 years now, and while I have not gotten better at not making mistakes, I *have* gotten better at spotting them. (this got long, so come with me for a tale of novel-writing woes.) #amwriting #writing #booksky

Big announcement from Gov. Newsom:

I’ll never forget his warmth and unpretentiousness. Rob Reiner was the proverbial mensch. May he and his wife rest in peace. His memory will always be a blessing to me from that one small interaction we had. I’m sure he touched people’s lives like this everywhere he went. We’ll miss him.

Rob Reiner had one of the most wide-ranging audiences of any American filmmaker. People rewatch his films with nostalgia and joy. They quote them with parents and pass them down to children. Ignore the other one's commentary. It's like a black hole commenting on the sun.

Trump implying that one of his supporters murdered Rob Reiner for criticizing him is really something

My law firm is litigating 66 voting and election cases in 35 states. This is an insanely large number for this point on the election cycle. The 2026 midterm elections will be a fight to protect free and fair election. I started Democracy Docket to keep you informed. Sign up now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

If you’re looking for something to do, start working on overturning citizens united in your state. States control the power corporations have. Take their political power away with a ballot initiative. Here’s how: open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

This is exactly right.

have you allowed his deceptive posturing as a powerful man to get the better of your own eyes?

30+ books into my career... and I'm just now discovering my happy place is writing masculine men exposing vulnerability. It's emotionally exhausting, but damn... this makes me happy. Can't wait to put this into the world... #bearsky #gaysky #booksky

Q: If DOJ doesn't release the files it has by next Friday, is there anything Congress can do to compel that to happen? MASSIE: It's a crime if they don't. This is a new law with criminal implications if they don't follow it.

I’m so proud of the talented Leo High School Choir and all they are doing to represent the South Side of Chicago!

Yesterday, Spc Sarah Becstrom was laid to rest in West Virginia at a VA National Cemetery. Surprisingly none of the major major news media mention it. No flags were lower to half staff. Well the Convicted FElon keeps the news focus on him. www.wvva.com/2025/12/10/s...

BREAKING: Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been released from immigration detention after a federal judge's order Thursday, his attorney's office says.

I think if they really dump AI content onto Disney+ they'll find out real quick that NOBODY wants to see that shit. But it's so symbolic of the state of things that the name that once meant the very peak of hand drawn animation is now in league with the stock market scam anti-human garbage machine.

Fine. Give us the Epstein files in Times New Roman, then.

MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

🇨🇦 If you are a Canadian who still wants to travel to the US, you may want to put that thought aside. The US Thought Police want your social/personal history for the last five years. If you have said anything against Felon 47 you might be banned or jailed. US Tourism is dead. #CanadaSky🇨🇦

Independent review, certainly.

Remember how they said the upcoming war in Venezuela was about drugs, and then they seized an oil tanker?

If you’re a #CBJ or #NHL fan in general let us know! We’re Welsh-based Blue Jackets fans trying to help grow the sport here in Europe and on Bluesky. Any support is much appreciated! 🙌

Congress just gave $900 billion to the US military in case you were wondering if there were any repercussions for blowing up civilian ships on the high seas. Meanwhile, the FIFA peace participation trophy guy still manages to keep the Epstein list out of the headlines.

This keeps happening.

Another powerful morning on the picket line with my family, this time at our daughter’s former school, Fairmont Elementary. West Contra Costa County teachers are incredibly important to our family and our community. They deserve a fair contract!

I've loved Sigourney Weaver ever since one of my all-time favorite movies, ALIEN. Couldn't resist going all fanboy on her yesterday & asking for a photo. She told me she's now in the cast of The Mandalorian. Talk about bad timing: she's now in that galaxy far, far away, years after I checked out! 💔

The U.S. is mirroring a pattern that has happened in authoritarian regimes around the world. When a government erects barriers to reproductive care, it doesn’t just cause death and suffering for women and their families. Such policies are often a first step in the gradual decline of democracies.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is retiring. We need volunteers to help our campaign flip this seat. If you’re able to help this campaign please sign up and pass it along to folks who might want to join us. Thank you for stepping up for Northwest Georgia.

Marjorie Taylor Greene told me to go back to my country and kicked our then-18-year-old communications director. And then sent an army of trolls and death threats my way when I called her out. She doesn’t get to play victim now.

This is the most consequential story for the 2026 midterms. Yet, I cannot find it anywhere on legacy media. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

ICE garage blockaded in lower Manhattan with dozens of agents stuck inside as more and more New Yorkers gather. NYPD observed staging on Canal & Broadway, expected come over for crowd control.

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK? DONNY IS DOLING OUT PARDONS TO CONVICTED DRUG TRAFFICKERS, WHILE HIS PISS-DRUNK SECDEF IS ORDERING "LEAVE NO SURVIVORS" AS HE DROPS BOMBS ON VENEZUELAN FISHING BOATS. ALL THAT EVIL FUCKERY AND MORE IN MY 'THIS WEEK IN STUPID,' WHICH YOU CAN READ HERE, THANK YOU: bit.ly/3XY62oa

Two Cornwall dairy farms supplying Cathedral City have been exposed in new undercover footage showing workers punching, kicking, slapping and jabbing cows, dragging newborn calves away by their legs, and even forcing rods into rectums to make exhausted individuals stand.

All my years working in Real Ale and Craft Beer this is without doubt the best Pale Ale ever produced from within the British isles. In my extremely humble opinion, Obviously. @kernelbrewery.bsky.social

Please. You'll be thankful you took the time to read to the end. Only in Iowa. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, or as it is otherwise known, Theater Kid Olympics.

While the USA goes back to the Industrial Revolution...not one ounce of creativity in the whole administration. Looking backward is so retro...

The four-part docuseries is executive produced by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, Combs’ rival who relentlessly trolled him throughout his criminal trial.

Breaking News from CNN: The GA Prosecutor has killed the Election interference case against the Convicted FElon & his allies. What the Fuck‼️This is a bunch of bullshit. Once again the Convicted FElon got away with more crimes.

As promised, I’ll start dropping all of Epstein’s emails to Steve Bannon, in chronological order, on my Substack today. Here’s 2017… #EpsteinFiles open.substack.com/pub/ellieleo...
