Hakeem Jeffries accused of tanking the season to get a better draft pick

I have a hard time listening to some podcasts. There’s nothing worse than an unfunny person who thinks they’re funny but is completely unaware of how obnoxious they are.

Like on the Blank Check podcasts, the Nolan episodes. “Bartman Begins”? Is that supposed to be funny?

Don't create gatekeepers where there are none. Don't ask for permission when no one actually has authority to tell you "no." I see way to many people do this as a means of procrastination when it comes to starting to make art (and specifically comics). My siblings, it's wide open; you are free.

Shedeur Sanders, in the draft interviews: "my five year plan is to nationalize all sports leagues and run them under a dictatorship of the proletariat for the common good".

I suspect the various right-wing grifters and propagandists will point to some misdemeanor Abrego Garcia committed 15 years ago as “evidence” he deserves to be locked up for life…I’m assuming of course these people haven’t already done so.

The original miniseries for The Stand, as low budget as it was, was a much better adaptation than the 2020 show. Also, Janey Sheridan IS Randall Flagg.

Hey #writingcommunity , I enjoyed James, and am looking to get into Percival Everrett's work. Is there a book you recommend next?

"Traditional values" is one of those slimy phrases that mean whatever the author (the grifter, the bullshit artist) needs it to mean. In fact, when you see that phrase in an article or blog post, you can just stop reading. You won't miss out on anything.

After my #StarterPack of writers seeking an #agent I made a waiting list. It got huge. So instead I've done Pack 2, adding other people #querying Please repost to help them out. If you want one of the few places left, please follow the instructions at the end of the thread #booksky #writingcommunity

Chiefs down by 10 in the Super Bowl. Now the game actually starts.

If I never have to hear about “crawl, walk, run” again, I’ll die smiling.

That's it. Far and away the best thing I've done on here, a #StarterPack now completely full of great #writers looking for #agents Now let it do its work. Please share widely and help these fine people, all worth a follow, to get known and represented. Agents, it's over to you... #writingcommunity

If Mahomes had said "First, I have to give all credit to the referees," we would have had to put him in the Hall of Fame tonight

FOR THOSE ABOUT TO VOTE... After destroying a planet-killer asteroid, humanity faces a new threat as an alien parasite spreads across the U.S., mutating hosts seemingly at random. As quarantine zones reach their limits, Congress convenes to decide the fate of millions. #WIP #A #H #YouDeservePIt

My favorite rejection I ever received was when an editor told me my style isn’t sophisticated, so I should try YA. Don’t you love it when a rejection says more about them than you? #writingcommunity

A Chiefs three-peat is both predictable and preventable—they’re a very beatable team.

The Simpsons is how I first learned about Jimmy Carter and I doubt I’m alone in this.

Just drove past my childhood home in rural TN. It seemed much bigger as a child, and you know what? It's kinda depressing. Trump 2024 flags and the "I'm voting for the felon" signs, people giving what little disposable income they have to the church, that of Christ and Trump.

And some people are like "Authors think they shouldn't have to do anything!" .....They wrote the book?! Hello?!

Back in 2019: was told while making Lower Decks that “too much happens in each episode, what if someone watching is making spaghetti and only half paying attention?”

Gawd. We don’t even know what his main character looks like. Jarrett at the Writers' Conference tl1138.substack.com/p/jarrett-at... #writing #writingcommunity

Can’t wait to see what works of genius we’ll get once Lord of the Rings hits the public domain. “Somehow, Sauron returned.”

When I had a violent stalker who would graphically describe how he would have me gang raped, puncture my organs and and break all my bones, I was told the police "couldn't do anything". Consider this a reminder that they absolutely ✨can✨ do something. They just don't care about YOU.

Update: finally got paid for my contribution to The Martian Wave, after months of pressuring them. Let's see if the others can get paid too. 25 bucks. Hell, dinner's on me tonight... 💙📚 #writingcommunity

Really enjoying Skyward Sword. Clever dungeon design, great music. Only strike against it are the motion controls, but the Switch version remedies that. WW is now the only mainstream Zelda title I’ve yet to play.

More Horror critics. writers, authors & creators.💀 I’m in the process of adding everyone I didn’t have space for in part 1. Retweet to request addition to this starter pack! 📽️ 👻 go.bsky.app/ExjpL7w
