Wednesday night I stayed up late securing myself a new Nintendo system. It’s a long running pattern in my life. Here’s what we can learn from companies that create magical experiences!

You gotta watch this governor like a HAWK!

I KNOW you're tired. But we've all got work to do. open.substack.com/pub/joelshar... #civicengagement #legalrights #theyworkforus

A number of folks stepped up to record a brief message at our town hall in Ruston, LA last night. Here's Jerry Stinson, retired veteran, making his thoughts on the #Muskrats attempts to steal folks' Social Security and benefits quite clear: riverside.fm/shared/expor...

Track the pregnant women, and assign them an "appropriate" adoptive family. 👀The speed at which they're going straight to dystopian fiction is INSANE.

Normalize pronouncing DOGE as DOUCHE.

Are you excited for tomorrow's "Bowl of Soup"? #thebiggame is on, and Ashley is rooting for The Eagles. Well, mostly the city of Philly really & it's...Gritty based. #philly and #kansascity in #neworleans should be a good time regardless.

One of my favorite quotes, & a perfect encapsulation of the greatness of America when we do it right. "All the Cokes are the same and all the Cokes are good." From Andy Warhol. Thread 1/X

Here’s something frivolous but not meaningless that we can all hang onto. We’re about to get a Black Captain America. A positive & genuine Superman. & unbelievably, a period piece retro-futuristic Fantastic 4 movie. Good, good time to be a geek, even if it’s a hard, hard time to be a human being.

I have been LOVING watching #darkshadows the original supernatural soap opera. Pretty good time to jump in if you want to watch along with me.

it’s so insane to me that people work for ICE like did you watch star wars and think man i want to be like the guys in the plastic white suits who can’t aim for shit

Congrats. You played yourself.

I left my Church over their DEMAND to exclude LGBTQIA+ but my mistrust started over private prisons. Single biggest donor & main proponent of leaving the UMC over LGBTQIA+ is choking on the $$$ he makes from private prisons, largely full of immigrants. Blood money is the ONLY word to describe it.

The second episode of "Dad Would Have Loved This" is now live with one my Dad absolutely DID love. It's Kirk Douglas vs. Henry Fonda in "There Was a Crooked Man" and my take on it is live now on YouTube, Spotify & anywhere you listen to podcasts. Link in the comments!

The fact that even the richest guy in the world is afraid to admit he did a Nazi salute should be enough to let you know the fight isn’t over.

I’m watching “The Music Man” today. That classic story of a con man who invents a fictional problem for a town so that he can then fleece them of all their money by providing “the cure”. 🤔 Wonder why I felt like that was the watch for today?

The most important fact—that this would be a patently unconstitutional executive order—is omitted from the social copy.

Just passed 1000 reviews on @letterboxd.social with “First Blood” (1982) it’s coming soon on my new YouTube channel and podcast #DadWouldHaveLovedThis

It's a picture of a person, a painting, a portrait if you will (and Joel can't for some reason). #musicman We promise he didn't have a stroke, but he does do a musical number! #musicaltheaterkids #immortaluniverse #annerice #mayfairwitches

Joe Abercrombie writes better low fantasy than maybe anyone ever. This series is amazing & everything new in it is fantastic. app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/a21f...

Pssst. Have you seen the first of my new YouTube series? No spoilers (until the very end, and I announce them before they're incoming), just a little nostalgia for a movie my Dad loved a LOT. New video every Wednesday, also available on Spotify as video & audio. bit.ly/4aiqVjk

What You Missed in ##IWTV S2E1 is now live on YouTube, but our Patrons are already watching What You Missed in S2E2. Get everything we do, early and ad-free at bit.ly/40uScM9 YouTube link in the comments.

This is my personal version of Jiminy Cricket. The right folks get mad about what I’m doing, it must be the right thing.

The Julien of it all is a MAJOR TOPIC of conversation in our latest episode about #mayfairwitches Oncle Julien is a HUGE part of the books, and our first look on TV was SURPRISING. At least he wasn't Buffalo Bill, though!!

Brand new series launched today! Short ##moviereviews about films (and maybe a few other things) that my Dad would have LOVED (and I bet yours will too). Up first is "Sneakers" (1992), followed by "There Was a Crooked Man" (1970) and "Bull Durham" (1988)! bit.ly/42ktWxP

Genuinely, all these companies are responding to the election itself. When it seemed like he’d be ended publicly, every company spoke up against him. Now that he’s been reelected comfortably, OF COURSE they’re responding to what they see as the public will. Don’t surprised & disgusted, just vote!!!
