I would contribute to a GoFundMe that purchased land next to Mar-a-Lago and built a wind farm.

Under any other administration, closing down the airspace around a major city would lead to worries of terrorism or whispers of UFOs. Under Trump, everyone knows it's just buffoonish incompetence.

Cop: "I saw you murder that person." Me: "Don't you know the Dow is over 50,000?" Cop: "Oh. Right. Move along."

The other day I said I was giving up screenwriting because success is an irrational fantasy, sending shock waves through the Industry! But today I'm already back on my current script and plotting my next. Irrational fantasy beats no fantasy. Hollywood, I'm ready to ink a deal! #scriptsky

Elegant and slightly creepy black coyote behind the house.

Yesterday I referenced a pro seminar I attended that left me so overwhelmed and depressed I wanted to quit screenwriting because it's a pipe dream waste of time. Today I'm submitting to a contest. I've never been on heroin, but it must be something like this. #scriptsky #writing

During the Super Bowl halftime I thought Puerto Rico has a pretty nice flag. The colors did seem a little softer than other versions I've seen, and it worked well.

I am a football fan but couldn't work up much excitement for the Super Bowl. When I did turn it on, it was halftime already so I watched that. When the game came back, I switched to a monster movie.

You know how you attend a seminar by a writing pro and you feel energized? But sometimes you feel overwhelmed and depressed? Yeah, the latter for me. I'll get over it, but I worry that I'll never quite get over the doubts that I'm wasting my time. #scriptsky #writing

The White House excuse of "We've got so many bigots on staff here we can't be expected to know what they're all doing" seems legit.

I think Trump is saying nice things about the Clintons because he's telegraphing to them that if they cover for him in the Epstein testimony, they can expect a pardon from him.

Trump just basically admitted he mocked someone for praying and that he's never read the Bible. Yet Evangelicals will still see him as the Christian president. #whatthefuckiswrongwithevangelicals

He is an extraordinary performer and a great man.

The guy who had a gun on Trump's golf course in Florida just got life in prison. Now if we can get Trump life in prison, they can share a cell. Best buddy prison show ever.

American horror: Is that a ghost? Nah, must be the wind. Thai horror: Is that a ghost? Where's my blessed shotgun?! #scriptsky #movies

Seems like we have 2 choices for next election: 1. Allow Trump to form a 1-party state 2. Allow Trump to use stormtroopers to disrupt voting & cause chaos on election day The third option is mid-term where Democrats take the House & Senate. Trump won't allow that.

Currently reading. It's like watching the news.

I am a bad gamer. I'm playing Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 and I stink. Sometimes, I don't have shoes. I've been in the stocks twice. Random strangers insult my horse. I fell off a rock, broke my leg, and died. I ate rotten wolf meat and died. I got beaten up by a shepherd. A shepherd. #kcd2

Trump says Republicans should nationalize elections. This is the final stage of authoritarianism -- the one-party state.

I agree with Trump that Democrats are soft on crime because he should be in prison now.

Always wanted to be a writer, but only got serious late. First, wrote comics in my 30s. Then wrote novels in my 50s. Now I'm in my 60s and I'm writing screenplays. What the hell. Somebody's got to do it. #scriptsky #writing #authorsky #comics

DOJ releases pages from the Ripper Files. President Jack the Ripper answers press questions about Iran.

I assume Trump will require voters show a paid ticket stub to "Melania" to vote in midterms.

Scientologists bought tons of Dianetics and Battlefield Earth to drive up sales. Corporations buy CEO's books to drive up sales. Where are the MAGAs going to see Melania? Where are GOP types posting their ticket stubs to please the Big Man? I think Trump is happy her movie is tanking.

I've written 2 screenplays, working on a 3rd. None have sold. None produced. None filmed. And yet, I will still have a better profit/loss weekend than Melania. #scriptsky

Trump just wants to be president so people will tell him he's great and he can get money. Left to himself, he will never not be president. He will say anything. He will do anything.

I really need a few hours alone. Maybe I should go see Melania.

Kristi Noem: ICE just shot another protester in Minnesota. Stephen Miller: So what? Deploy the usual slurs. Kristi Noem: It was a white male heterosexual gun owner. Stephen Miller: Goddammit! Code Red!

The Italians are unhappy that ICE goons are part of the US Olympics security contingent. I wish they'd refused entry to ICE agents, and if necessary, the US team. If the Democratic party can't stop Trump's warlordism, maybe the rest of the world can.

When I watch movies I like the openings, but often not the endings. In my writing, I can't do openings, but I can do endings. It's like an O'Henry story but not the one about hair. #scriptsky #writing #authorsky

C'mon, Hollywood, stop trying to make new horror icons happen. It has to be organic like Jason, Pinhead, Freddy. #filmsky

Sorry to hear about the death of Sal Buscema. He was Marvel's go-to artist in the 1970s. A pro. A great storyteller. Plus his art evolved over time to reflect both the need for speed and changes in reader taste.

GOP 2026: Don't Talk Back to Me.

Thrilled that DragonCon has invited me as a guest again this year. We had to cancel last year, but if we're alive we will be at DragonCon in 2026 no matter what!

Hey, remember when Trump tore down half the White House? The White House. Not HIS house. The White House. That was weird, huh?

Oscar noms are out. Once again my unfinished, unsold, unproduced screenplay did NOT get nominated. I'm puzzled by the oversight. It can't be who you know because I know everybody in my town in NC. #scriptsky #filmsky #writing

How are things in America these days? Like this...

How Trump will meet his end. The shadow of a windmill.

The Empire should've learned from Trump's Board of Peace and called this the "Peace Star."

How old am I? I spend half the time watching a basketball game yelling "That's traveling!"

You know those movies where the main character wakes up far in the future and the world feels insane. I feel like that every day.

When my dad had dementia, facilities had mock-up office desks with tools and supplies so residents could go through the muscle memory of work life. Can't we just do that with Trump? Fake Oval Office, fake cabinet members to kiss his ass, fake orders to sign, fake calls from Putin?

Machado: "Mr. President, I'd like to present you with my Nobel Peace Prize in gratitude for helping Venezuela." Trump aide: "Thanks. Please exit through the gift shop."

The Right is safely wrapped in their belief that Minnesota is a corrupt Democratic state (based on the Somali/daycare stories, which is the new Hunter Biden's laptop) fighting against the forces of federal justice. ICE is the tip of the Right's spear; nothing to do with immigration now.

At some point -- after more street violence and well before the midterms -- Trump will arrest top Democratic leaders around the country. The question is will his forces follow orders? The answer is probably yes.

Trump is preparing to gun down US citizens while Europe is preparing to repel a US attack in Greenland. This country has been colonized by MAGA.

Denmark & Europe must feel like they're taking crazy pills dealing with Trump on Greenland. It's like your neighbor decides he wants your car. He deserves your car. It's not really your car. If you won't negotiate in good faith the transfer of your car, he'll just take it.

Now that the holidays are over, the next calendar benchmark is when bear cam starts in June. I guess I can go to work and try to publish a book or sell a screenplay until then, but really I'm just coasting until bears. #bears

I watched 28 Years Later last night. It was well done. Plus probably the most tactical staging of mobs of naked people on screen ever. #filmsky
