Streetwise guy said I’m precious. Merry Christmas to me.

It’s giving Ceci n’est pas une pipe

bff turned 30. I wiped out. not to be confused with “crashed out”. I slipped on wet grass.

Even Mother Nature is done with Felon47’s bullshit.

"How does it feel to get arrested at 87 years old? He said "I'm just beginning!"

The beerfest happening outside my window is singing “Ee-I-ee-I-oh” and that is where I draw the line on good times.

Democrats are shying away from impeachment. Why? To provide incumbents with political cover if they’re challenged: www.axios.com/2025/05/14/t...

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

It's been 8 years since the iconic moment Tom Holland lip-synced "Umbrella" by Rihanna for Zendaya. 🎥

My family found a home here after fleeing the pogroms in Ukraine. This country accepted us as refugees when we had nothing except the shirts on our backs. We've seen what can happen when we don't speak up about the dangers — it's time to raise the alarm now.

my best friend addresses all our correspondence “Lady Taylor Imel” and now I’m vain and can’t live without the honor.

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

Pope Francis: “As long as the problems of the poor are not radically resolved by rejecting the absolute autonomy of markets & financial speculation and by attacking the structural causes of inequality, no solution will be found for the world’s problems or to any problems.”

It’s nice that the pope did a little stunting on the couch fucker with some of his last moments on this earthly plane.

I used to thrive on dirty chais in college. Today? I went to a coffee shop to write and forgot to ask for decaf. holy shakes and shivers. my veins are now coffee beans.

This is... so grotesque. Absolute anarchy.

I like books. Books are good people.

👏👏👏 Keep it up, my Target-fasting friends! Foot traffic is down and Target is feeling it! The company requested a meeting between their CEO, Brian Cornell, and Rev. Al Sharpton to discuss Target’s January decision to roll back DEI programs. www.cnbc.com/2025/04/17/t...

People ask me what tech I use to create my meticulously structured novels. Well, here, for example is the tech behind Authority.

scheduling coffee dates these days feels like “can we squeeze one in before the world ends?”

The original core moviegoing audience in the USA was made up of people who had either experienced these ships themselves or were related to people who had. This sort of empathy for immigrants, the poor and the working class was the backbone of Chaplin's enduring popularity.

Chaplin is often dismissed with a hand-wavey "Oh, he had pathos" but the political content of his comedies has been aging like fine wine, unfortunately.

Chaplin going hard in THE IMMIGRANT (1917), cutting from a shot of the Statue of Liberty to the dehumanizing treatment of the immigrants aboard a ship (with a tiny dallop of slapstick thrown in).

Chicago Daley Center #HandsOff

Struggling with deep panic, so to channel that productively, I'll post a reminder my partner and I just started a tiny bookstore. To be sustainable, we need to make enough to move into the building's front space to get foot traffic. ALL purchases, local or not, help a ton: eveninghousebooks.com

You shouldn’t finish every book you start. Abandoning a book is not an admission of failure—it’s a sign of wisdom. You’ve decided to let go of sunk costs. The purpose of reading is to be entertained and informed. If a book doesn't bring joy or insight, it’s time to move on.

Holy s balls so good 10/10

Nine chapters remaining and not only will I have written a memoir, I’ll have revised it 🙌🏻😬🕯️

We need a Disney princess who’s absolutely furious.

Whomever is advising the Democrats right now is criminally bad at their job. The notion that they can meme their way out of fascism is truly incredible.
