Wasn't "Circumcision Tylenol" a big hit for Oasis?

It's starting to drift into David Lynch "Baron Harkonnen" nastiness.

Shameless self-pimpage (SSP) never goes out of style: 🤣

“Close To Me” by The Cure playing at the burger place. Cool.

Anyone whose studied science at all understands how crazy cool new discoveries often come from bizarre unrelated inquiry.

Met the new store manager today, managed to present myself as an idiot *and* slander the current/outgoing manager who was standing there complimenting me.

If the ocean were whiskey And I was a duck I’d look at the lyricist And ask “what the fuck?”

Third time this week I had to block a new follower and I feel a tiny bit bad. I wish her all success with her OnlyFans site but no thanks I’m not really interested in pictures of her cat. “Ahem.” But thanks for asking.

We celebrate Tuesday with a trough of Raisin Bran, because we accept that we do not deserve happiness.

I think this was a Stephen King story…

🚨Massie dropped the bombshell everyone was waiting for:He revealed Epstein's hidden list and exposed Kash Patel for lying to the 🇺🇸 people.Massie says:’The FBI has files with the names of 20 other men involved with Epstein in the sex trafficking network,including a high-ranking government official.'"

“We were shocked— shocked— to discover that shoveling money into a computerized furnace did not double our income.” — Some A.I. Fan CEO Somewhere

This is your reminder to mute and block aggressively. Life’s too short and valuable to waste a sliver of it slapfighting with some online assclown who demands you argue with them over “Who’d win in Arkansas Ladder Match between Shemp and Curly?”

I dunno… maybe I’ve been using “echo chamber” wrong these past several decades….

Weird dreams. I wonder if some people have less random or more interesting dreams…

BREAKING: Adam Hoffman has been released from jail for "good behavior." Hoffman is the Waco, TX attorney who faced life without parole for repeatedly raping a young boy, until Texas AG Ken Paxton offered him 1 day in jail and no need to register as a sex offender.

Sent another small donation. If #TEXAS turns BLUE... my god how incredible that would be.

THESE are the movies that made me fall in love with movies.

"Cover songs that are so perfectly suited to the band that it's nearly impossible to believe that they weren't the original artist." "Raspberry Beret" -- The Derailers "Dead Flowers" -- Townes Van Zandt "Angel From Montgomery" -- Susan Tedeschi "Hard Amarillo Highway" -- Robert Earl Keen

Me in my Bluesky bubble

How long should a screenplay be? Eleven inches. Eight and a half wide. #Scriptsky

DO YOU WANT RODAN? THIS IS HOW YOU GET RODAN!

OK, so this was not as bad a day as it might have been.

Again, please share. In every aspect of American history you will run smack dab into the critical contributions of Black people. It’s not Black history. It’s American history. Trying to erase it is a fool’s errand. We live it every day. time.com/5836444/blac...

Democrat chances for blue wave just skyrocketed…

Not being at work beats the brakes off being at work.

Pope Leo is 🔥: "So-called artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships...nor do they have a moral conscience... a form of statistical adaptation...does not imply inner growth."

You had me at Barthelme. ❤️‍🔥

Well. Here’s Monday.

Oh well. Tomorrow we start a six day run. We are not amused, but to hell with the schedule gods— I will endure and survive. LONG LIVE SPITE.

Worst crossover ever: CREATURE OF THE BLUE LAGOON

I got a newsletterzinething from @leahfromsd.bsky.social and The Wife looked at the envelope briefly and then just handed it to me. "More of your writer pal silliness?" I snatched it away. "Yes." "Nerds," she laughed. "You're welcome," I said as I left the room. "For what?" "My non-response."

I was poking through my Fun Cabinet and squealed with glee to find I still had an inch left in my bottle of Talisker Storm, so... now I'm enjoying a heavy pour of smoky golden goodness. "𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑜' 𝑑𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑘𝑠, 𝑎𝑠 𝐼 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑐𝑒𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝑖𝑡, 𝑇𝑎𝑙𝑖𝑠𝑘𝑒𝑟, 𝐼𝑠𝑙𝑎𝑦, 𝑜𝑟 𝐺𝑙𝑒𝑛𝑙𝑖𝑣𝑒𝑡!" -- Rovert Louis Stevenson

"Did you know, I never knew that the Third Reich meant Germany. I mean it's just drenched with historical goodies like that...."

The dude who runs Twitter, controls your feed, and makes money off your posts is on week two of posting about how Chris Nolan casting a black woman as a beautiful woman is anti-white genocide. I do not want to write for that guy for free, which is what you're doing when you post to his platform.

Sometimes I wonder if maybe I'm just overthinking this whole "screenwriting" thing. Maybe logic and coherence and believability and sanity and quality are not so important. All you really need is the BOOGIE BEAT, baybee.

YES. THANK YOU. Since I was a young child my skin crawls whenever I notice someone acting in a way clearly intended to feed their own ego. "Am I doing this because it's the RIGHT thing to do? Or am I just doing it to get applause and approval?" Cuz they are often very different things. Fuck ego.

The reason certain people are still on Twitter or complain how this place isn’t Twitter is because for a brief amount of time Twitter allowed specialty journalists, opinion writers, pundits, etc a chance to feel somewhat famous, or that they actually had influence, and they miss that like heroin.

Apparently our weather is now just a random card pulled from a deck of "GLORIOUSLY BEAUTIFUL!" or 'DRENCHING MISERABLE." There is no in-between. Death by sunburn or death by mildew.

Correct.

If the 2nd greatest English-language filmmaker of all time can cast a black woman as Helen of Troy, then surely Christopher Nolan can, as well.

I nominate this bullshit claim for “Dumbest Thing Said This Year.” Which— given the current political clogged toilet situation— is actually an impressive achievement.

I knew it. No way some of this crap was actually popular on its own.

I managed only the most trivial tiny bit of writing today. Pppffffttttt.

Many years ago, there was a screenwriting website called Triggerstreet. It was sometimes good, often bad, and eventually died. I just recalled a script I read there called (I think) THE STENCH. 1/2

I re-watch this often. I love her even more very damned time. youtu.be/AgjBxiDmJyU?...
