Art Nouveau is when stuff looks like it was made by Elves. Art Deco is when stuff looks like it was made by Dwarves.

Meant to mention this last week, but if you have a young person in your life who’s into history or graphic novels or just good books, buy them George Takei’s “They Called Us Enemy.” My oldest couldn’t put it down.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Sweet Christ take my fucking money

My biggest beef with Occam's Razor is that it falsely portends to be a blade.

Yes, please.

Ladies and gentlemen, my newest book! www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/787094... #BookSky

Nice try, Academy, but 'Nosferatu' was better than every film on this list AND every Best Picture winner for the last few years. #FilmSky

Sigh. We tried to warn them.

Eight years ago, a wrote myself a letter the night before Donald Trump assumed the presidency: www.huffpost.com/entry/keep-c... Please do the same. Consider it a safeguard before crossing into the world of tomorrow. #booksky #WritingCommunity #AmWriting

Never forget.

Chapter 5 “On Tyranny” @timothysnyder.bsky.social is for all to remember the obligations of professions. Doctors-Hippocratic Oath to refrain from causing harm or hurt, to prescribe only beneficial treatments. Lawyers-Oath to uphold the Constitution. Police, firemen too We need to hold them to this.

When the dark crystal hits:

I can’t love this more.

Be skeptical of any critic, publication, or organization that ignores or outright slanders Robert Eggers' #Nosferatu these next few months. It is one of the best films in recent history, and anyone who says otherwise is probably trying to sell you something shoddy. #FilmSky

ISW's @georgewbarros.bsky.social joined @npr.org to discuss what we know about the North Korean soldiers fighting alongside Russia against Ukraine and what it means for the war. Listen: www.npr.org/2024/12/28/n...

'Nosferatu' just became my favorite Christmas movie ever.

I’m going to try this. Wonder if they’ll recognize my voice.

How to deal with your MAGA family this Thanksgiving: Offer to lead the family in prayer. Open the Bible and read Leviticus 19:33-34

If you're pissed off this Thanksgiving and have no wish to spend it surrounded by MAGA relatives, please know you're not alone. Nearly half the country feels that way, and for good reason. Be thankful you're not celebrating what you know is wrong.

Pen name should be viewed as an extension of your writing. They should reveal something about you to readers the moment they see your name paired with your title. In my case, I always viewed my writing as a surprise but fun history lesson, and my pen name is no different. #BookSky #WritingCommunity

Read this before Thanksgiving. It will help.

I got my copy and cannot wait to read and review it. Check it out! #WritingCommunity #BookSky

After the 2020 elections, I prepared a report for Biden HQ with recommendations that I believed the Democratic Party had to follow. They did not. I'm prepared to disclose the entire document on Bluesky. If you think I should, "like" this message. If 1,000 users do the same, I'll post everything.

Post a non-religious photo you think of as holy

Amazing how easy it is for a country to uphold rule of law when it gives a s***

He is vengeance. He is the night.

My wife and I saw David Bowie yesterday.

The only thing missing is the Millennium Falcon flying out of the Space Slug

Okay, y’all… I have finally decided that retreat is the better part of valor. Bringing some rainbow energy over to these blue skies. #bydhttmwdi

This is why I don't buy the argument that the Dems would have done better if Biden had dropped out sooner or even resigned from office. If the last few weeks of the 2024 election made you want to vote for Trump, no Democratic messaging would've changed your mind.

GameCube. It was my primary console from 2001 to 2017. With its stellar controller and massive playable library, which includes every Game Boy game—among them several NES and SNES remasters on the GBA—the GameCube was and remains the greatest video game console in history, in my opinion.

Artists and writers are uniquely suited to feel moments in time and then translate it in ways that give others words for their pain. You need to create <3 #WritingCommunity
