Next six months after new Trump-loving Fed chairman: 1. Rates down by a percent shortly 2. Market responds well, everyone's happy 3. Inflation at 5 or 6% in time for Halloween 4. Market crashes 5. Another rate cut 6. Dems get the House and Senate to clean it all up.

MY GUNNERS!!!

ARSENAL!!!!!

Viva Moldova! #Eurovision

@lordshortcake.bsky.social so you’re even more famous than you thought.

Life accomplishment unlocked! And again tomorrow! @lordshortcake.bsky.social

@lordshortcake.bsky.social got tickets for BOTH Blackheath shows this weekend! See you soon, Candyman!

From the second chapter of my new novel: “Say,” he said. “Have you ever blown a shofar?” “No, but I’ve kissed a taxi driver.”

@lordshortcake.bsky.social Reference in the wild to Professor O.G. Whattashnozzle!

My 10-minute play Rain Delay is part of the Hudson Classical Theater's festival on March 21 & 22 at 2 pm at the 102nd Street Field House in Riverside Park. Tickets are free but they'd like people to make reservations. I'll be there too! www.eventbrite.com/e/hudson-cla...

@lordshortcake.bsky.social the Olympic closing ceremonies just played Cuando as the athletes marched in.

Hey friends! If you happen to be in New York next month, come see these great plays by some fine writers (and me). It's free free free, too!

@raskin.house.gov BRAVO!

Two weeks from now, some poor kid in Ethiopia will be thrilled to get a PATRIOTS -SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS jersey. #SuperBowl

Is the Republic still standing??? #BadBunny

@redpainter1.bsky.social as a BBC broadcaster friend of mine says, If you’re not scared we’re not doing our jobs. Predicted upwards of 2 feet, so far 5 inches and it looks mostly over. I’ve never seen snow totals consider sleet. They’re compensating.

@lordshortcake.bsky.social if ever your maxim of If you’re not scared we’re not doing our jobs was correct, it’s for this east coast US storm. Predicted go updates of 2 feet, so far 5 inches and it looks over. Good luck with the move! See you at Blackheath in May!

It’s 2:30 am. I have, in Aspen Hill MD, perhaps a half-inch of snow. And nothing coming down. Is it evaporating in the atmosphere? I assume more is coming, but if this is it, it’s the most spectacular miss in forecasting history. All the more reason to restore 100% of #NOAA’s funding.

@raskin.house.gov BRAVO!!!!

All this screaming is well intended and needed, but our D legislators need to start NOW on a plan for Jan. 1, 2027 when retake #Congress to hold every single last SOB to account. And I want to hear it every single day until the election.

Two words: Lillian Rawth. #TCMParty

"Who would give me a bad check?" "I would." #TCMParty

"Abie the Fishman!" #TCMParty

Well, that's one DC theater venue I won't be attending until 2029.

And silence from the "Israel-loving" White House. He's still sleeping.

Pardon my opinion, but isn’t the new #KenBurns docu incredibly slow?

@lordshortcake.bsky.social Loud, obnoxious and selfish? Yep, that's my relatives! #CharlieDog

@vanhollen.senate.gov DO NOT CAVE! You know even if they keep their promise and schedule a vote on ACA subsidies, it will lose. You just ran the board in this week's elections. The country is behind us. DO NOT CAVE!

@alsobrooks.senate.gov DO NOT CAVE! You know even if they keep their promise and schedule a vote on ACA subsidies, it will lose. You just ran the board in this week's elections. The country is behind us. DO NOT CAVE!

My beautifully mischievous, rare orange female tabby named Zoe, loves to rip and chew paper. I found this last night, tooth marks and all. The dreaded DO NOT REMOVE THIS TAG UNDER PENALTY OF LAW under my sofa. The Tag Police will be paying me a visit in very very due course.

Putin takes Trump to dinner at a fancy restaurant in Moscow. He orders a steak, medium rare. “What about the vegetable?” the waiter asks. “He can order for himself.”

I am greatly indebted to my friend Maya Chupkov for featuring my blatherings about playwriting and stuttering on her Proud Stutter podcast. Listen at your own risk! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Washington was born in ENGLAND. #vagovdebate

Maybe he just wanted Rosh Hashanah off. #Kimmel

ABC is being held hostage by its affiliates. Tell Sinclair and Nextstar to pound sand and withdraw their status and network programming. Tell them to run repeats of The Beverly Hillbillies. I'm sure they could quickly find other stations. #Kimmel

Live so that when you’re gone, quoting you accurately is not a fireable offense.

The Nation pulls NO punches, from @espiers.bsky.social "There's no requirement to take part in this whitewashing campaign. Refusing to join in doesn’t make anyone a bad person. It’s a choice to write an obituary that begins “Joseph Goebbels was a gifted marketer and loving father to six children.”

Met some cool teenagers at the Oslo train station, singing at the top of their lungs and absolutely flying. “You missed a great concert, man!” one told me. AC/DC was in town. My old passion from my misspent youth. We clasped hands and bonded. The world is smaller than we can ever imagine.

It's real, my #California peeps! The West Coast premiere of my award-winning play #LIES opens on August 28 in Santa Barbara's Center Stage Theater. I'll be there for the first weekend of performances. Tickets available soon!

After Texas failed to pass a bill to improve flood warning systems, a Kerr County lawmaker says he likely would vote differently now on House Bill 13, which aimed to establish a grant program for counties to build new emergency communication infrastructure. bit.ly/44xMjyr

The world must be set free.

I subtly nodded hello to the guy who replaced Steve on Blue’s Clues while he was on break from filming outside the Plaza Hotel in NY. He subtly nodded back in true New York fashion.

“So, Your Eminance, Cubs or White Sox?”

The SOB blinked. Unless it's market manipulation, which it probably is. #tariffs

After nothing for a month, I pecked away today and am 350 words closer to the end of a first draft. It’s tough writing a comic novel in this hellscape, but I press on.
