Three stiff drinks and a lot of laughs with a good friend is a great recipe for a Friday night. HIGHLY recommended.

#ScriptChat was tonight? Whoops. Was drinking.

Two plates of fried alligator, two Category 5 frozen nummy-nummies, no work tomorrow… damned right it’s a good day.

Two hours to go. 120 minutes. Mind is drifting. “The possibility of physical and mental collapse is now very real. No sympathy for the Devil, keep that in mind. Buy the ticket, take the ride.” Ugh.

This is good.

NEW: A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.

Wrapping up lunch, which means the mood improves as we nose over the lip to the final downhill skid of the workweek. I no longer have to care: we’re on the glide path. Gravity will get us down no matter else we might do. Tally Ho.

I remain pretty serious about my theory that “male” was a weird mutation a billion years ago. And I’m allowed to say that, cuz I’m an Average White Male. That carries maximum entitlements.

The Wright Museums Instagram page is HILARIOUS. Think The Office but it's the staff at a Museum for Black History. Better believe this is on my list of places to visit. Gentle Spades "I'm a veteran"

International man of mystery Guy Gadbois ready to romp the Olympic scene.

There’s a trio of 65-ish white mega-nerds loudly having a conversation about the history of computing and software, and it’s amazing what I am learning. That was a sarcasm. If I was listening to three drunken parrots explain The Treaty of Utrecht, I’d be as informed/interested/enlightened.

Somewhere between laughter and outrage.

for #FirstPageFriday or #FunPageFriday, here’s a silly scene from #ThreeWiseMen, my Christmas buddy adventure. #ScriptSky

That’s a real ripping shame. (That it was not video’d for us all to enjoy over and over)

I get the sense that some longtime AFF names will not be as visible moving forward…

The replies are … 👌 chefs kiss.

A long day then drinks with a pal then a long weekend wherein annoyance and irritation already lurk in wait but screw that I’m not going to let reality ruin my brief flickering imagined moment of happiness until such time as the shit actually rains down which it will I mean who are we kidding.

It’s FRIDAY, which of course means #FirstPageFriday (or #FunPageFriday), that thrill-o-minute exercise where writers post something they’ve written as an actual hooman. A page, or a ‘graph, maybe a line, could be a phrase, possibly a word, a letter is pushing it… Doowachalike. #scriptsky #writing

Noticing a wave of new follows I do not recognize at all. Will endeavour to demonstrate patience, but experience pushes me to distrust. Bots are rampant.

The guy is just a rancid pathetic jerk.

Important thread to read, consider, and remember.

If I had a dollar for every time I played this -- LOUDLY-- through headphones as a kid... I'd have a lot of dollars. I can still hum almost every part from memory. youtu.be/XNDEljd1cQI?...

Every president from Nixon on released their tax returns, but Trump -- who insisted he would follow that custom -- repeatedly refused to do that. So finally they were leaked, showing he paid only $750 in 2016 and nothing in 2017. He's now demanding all of us, who *did* pay our full taxes, pay him.

Is this what a half decent day feels like? It’s been a while.

If you were a journalist or creative that was laid off by the Washington Post and you want to work for an independent, pro democracy news outlet, Democracy Docket is hiring. bit.ly/45Qaw4K

Holy crap. 😳 #ThreeWiseMen suddenly became “good.” 🤣 SEMI FINALIST #ScriptSky

“Skateaway” starts up just as I slide the shifter into PARK after lunch. “Well. I can spare another 5 minutes.”

So much not being said.

Thursday EXCITEMENT.

Just been made aware of Haiti's winter Olympics get-up. That skirt looks warm, has good pockets, and has a massive horse on it. DING DING DING.

And now, your #Daily_Awesome:

Trump refuses to commit to honoring midterm results unless he thinks "the elections are honest." #cdnpoli He’s telling you in advance. Is America listening? Probably not!

It’s kinda funny when you see these rich (allegedly) smart tech bros try to pump up and be cool but you still recognize that underneath they’re still basically the same socially inept unfunny loser-weasels they were in junior high.

ENSHITTIFICATION SHALL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES

I sense there are multiple countries and leaders who all seem now to have reached the “that’s enough of the bullshit” stage of the debate.

Oh. Well, I guess that settles THAT. They invoked the unimpeachable “NUH UH” defense. 🙄

Women-- get angry, get loud, get engaged. These dickwads are coming to steal your vote.

Lmao, imagine getting your ass kicked by a group of teenagers — in a fight you started — and then going to jail for it 🤣🤣🤣

BEACH BLANKET SAUSAGE

Jeff Bezos’s wealth has increased an average of $70 million every day of 2026, meaning that he could have offset The Post’s losses with what he’s made since Monday.

MARS NEEDS SAUSAGE

Some people are very good at self-bragging. (Not a dig or a slam-- some folks are able to say nice things about themself) I am very not one of these people. [reasons]

Well, the tile repair is now grouted. All I have to do wipe it down a half dozen times before I leave at 7am tomorrow for another ride on the Wheel O' Suck.
