There are people. Real people. Who had to have the ending of Season 2 of "Peacemaker" EXPLAINJED to them! By all the gods I don't believe in, I swear, the level of DUMB to not get that should NOT BE POSSIBLE! #PeacemakerS2

For me, the best part of this season's "Peacemaker" theme and dance is Frank Grillo, at the very end, trying SO HARD not to burst out laughing-- and only avoiding the bursting out part.

Over on the ranty writing blog this week I'm rambling on about word count, cutting whole chapters, and whether or not Wakko's actually doing anything useful. If any of that piques your interest...

“the girlfriend of one of the founders of antifa”

I"ve never seen "Jaws," or "Pulp Fiction." Try to avoid Tarentino entirely, been mostly successful. Oh, nor any "Godfather" movie.

He nailed it!

"Marvel Zombies" proves something I always suspected, but never expected to see confirmed: Not even the most conscienceless, deadly, deviant of a murderous villain can find it in them to dislike Jimmy Woo! #MarvelZombies #JimmyWoo

Welcome to my Halloween profile picture, courtesy of a guy who drilled a few small holes in a pumpkin, filled the holes with peanut butter-- and left it outside for the squirrels to have their way with it!

You WILL die for this, Susan.

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

THIS!!!! *ALL OF THIS!!!!*

This whole section really.

An absolute classic!

AI fans always seem puzzled why some people have a revulsion to AI and one issue is the people in charge of AI are repulsive

Knock, knock. Who's there? Tylenol. Tylenol who? Tylenol doesn't cause Autism, you dumb motherfucker.

What's your sign?

First line of the current WIP: “Are you telling me,” Ember said in a low, disbelieving voice, “that this thing took two lightning bolts, one column of fire and around thirteen arrows to the chest and it’s still coming!?”

HEY THIS IS TOMORROW!!! Like, less than 24 hours from now! Have you made travel plans? Do you have a signing buddy? You always want a signing buddy, just in case things go wrong...

Enhance a book! The Fold of a Fitted Sheet

Okay, ENOUGH! No more stupid, especially not HOLLYWOOD STUPID! No going out in the dark woods to see what's screaming, nor the pitch-black basement with no working lights, or leaving behind beaten enemy's weapons/ammo when there's time to grab them! NO SPLITTING UP! Next protagonists: GAMERS, ALL!

"The Fantastic Four: First Steps" absolutely, positively, undeniably LIVED UP TO THAT ADJECTIVE! SOLID! 10!!!!! It was low on actual action, but that didn't hurt it. It was just... well, you know, FANTASTIC! Someone FINALLY got a Fantastic Four movie RIGHT! AT LAST! AT LONG LAST!

No rapture? Well, I heard conflicting reports over whether it was today or tomorrow. I'll hope for tomorrow. I've always wanted to try skeet shooting....

Genius suggestion from @brinablank.bsky.social

And a very happy 78th birthday to @stephenking.bsky.social. Movies based on his books including CUJO, THE DEAD ZONE, and SECRET WINDOW are playing all day on Pluto TV Horror: pluto.tv/us/live-tv/5...

Guys, if I get raptured on Wednesday could one of you stop by my place? I'm expecting two packages Thursday and I don't want to leave them sitting out in the sun. Hahahaaaaaahaaa sorry. Just kidding. There's no way I'm getting raptured.

Nailed it.

Inside you are two wolves

Respond to this with a pic/vid/gif from a movie that always cheers you up, but don't name the movie. just the pic/vid/gif

Yes. ALL DAY AND ALL DECADE. YES.

I know I poke you to sign up for the newsletter a lot (okay, maybe once every couple of weeks- it feel like a lot to me) but it's actually running a day late because there's SO much stuff to talk about this month regarding books, events, signings, and more. So hey... sign up for the newsletter.

If you see this, quote the energy you bring to Bluesky:

I can only repost this so many times before Bluesky flags it as spam...

So you disagree with the MANY times he said racist shit, but he mentions god too, so he was a good person? Fuck outta here with that bullshit. Got news for ya… YOU’RE RACIST.

The reboot/continuation of "Quantum Leap" is in the number one spot. After that, "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles," "Terra Nova," the original "Kolchak: The Night Stalker," "the Fantastic Journey," and, finally, "Almost Human."

If you write fiction, professionally or for self-fulfillment, you should read this!

Yibambe!

SO ANYWAY... I got to work with @realrayporter.bsky.social again. Which means you audiophiles can FINALLY preorder this.

AND BY SHEER COINCIDENCE that annual cancer drive I just mentioned is going on RIGHT NOW. You can get one of these fantastic Courage figures for your own shelf, and when you do I Am Elemental will donate one to a kid with cancer. Or you can donate both of them. Check out all the details here.

Charlie Kirk consistently dehumanized women, people of color and the LGBTQ+ community. Referring to his death as a “national tragedy” is a travesty. The only national tragedy is the fact that his hateful views are lauded by a significant portion of the US population.

For the life of me, I can’t understand why the entirety of the American government didn’t see the trouble we were in, the moment flat earthers rose to popularity again. Buckle up, you guys. I’m about to explain why stupidity is the #1 indicator of an authoritarian movement. (a thread 🧵👇🏻)

Ruin a movie by making it about Gary: Avengers: Age of Gary

This is really easy to do

A little bump for the three day weekend.

If they cannot be safe in the US, #Canada must provide at least some of that safety. @mark-carney.bsky.social please ask Minister Diab to heed my call on this. #TransRightsAreHumanRights

I've seen a couple of wild-speculation type runors that the guy golfing isn't ꞇяυᵯ℗, but is instead a double, a la the movie "Dave." I know a sure way to find out: Get someone who looks like a journalist to ask him a question. If the answer isn't totally fucking stupid? It's a double!

I hate to do this but... This has been a very expensive summer for me, including multiple car repairs. Most recently, my cat needed surgery. I've started a GoFundMe to help pay for her medical expenses, and I'd be so grateful if you could share this link: www.gofundme.com/f/support-bi...

Bumping this for folks in the Edmonton area! Big chance to be a hero!

@chuckwendig.bsky.social, thanks for the re-skeet about ICE and Dragon Con. That rrrrrrrrreally helped, I'm positve, based on the number of likes and re-skeets alone.
