Don't sleep on Widow's Bay. The writing, the acting, the horror and humor, love it.

I often forget that BlueSky exists and then remember to check back in every three months or so. So, hello again.

Every time you give a billionaire a microphone, they use it to tell you that there's no such thing as an ethical billionaire.

All the big Hollywood stars in super awful commercials: recession indicator.

The Bud Light commercial was giving “mayoral party in Eddington” vibes.

Gotta be wild to be a football fan who is afraid of chemtrails from the flyover.

Especially funny bit to have football legends walk out on stage while Green Day played “American Idiot.” Should have had them spell out CTE as well, but that might have been too on the nose.

I heard that TPUSA originally wanted to call their halftime show Burning Klan.

In this late capitalism, billionaire-era, it seems like the game plan is to gut every industry, leave everyone jobless, and force us all into a new era of feudalism.

I went to Minneapolis last week. What I saw was horrifying and inspiring in equal measure. Gift link to my latest column: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/19/o...

From now on I’m declining social invitations like I’m a foundation who is no longer gonna fund your organization: “sorry, but this event no longer lines up with my recreational priorities. Feel free to submit an invitation in the next invitation cycle.”

Instead of writing a year-end book, music, or movie list, I think we should annually share a year-end enemies list.

You all have that one friend – be honest, it’s a guy – who very confidently gives you the wrong or vague answers to most(all?) questions and inquiries because he usually doesn’t know what he’s talking about. That is what Google AI summary is like.

Pro-tip: this winter, use the seat warmers in your car to keep your fresh tamales warm on the drive home.

Chicago friends: late Feb 2026, I'll be in town with Crypts of Golgotha at Reggie's Chicago: www.reggieslive.com/show/crypts-...

This never got off the ground last year, but starting earlier this year: Denver-based folks - Looking to snap pics of Latinx families and our holiday meal traditions(making tamales, ponche navideño, coquito, buñuelos, making cookies, etc.) hit me up if you’re interested.

Important lesson of last night's elections: progressives won across the country because they didn't water down their message and their values.

I feel bad for all the folks who were unable to flush their Wi-Fi-connected toilets because of the AWS outage.

“This is the first time I’ve seen so many pregnant people in [ICE] detention,” said Tania Wolf, the Southeast advocacy manager at the National Immigration Project. interc.pt/48WWErA

Aging gracefully into the thrift store old guy rummaging through random wires and electronics.

Traffic is bad this morning, but not in a “the rapture happened and I have to dodge cars and fight for my life” way. Bummer.

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

Always good to see the homie, @gustavoarellano.bsky.social

The way folks are lifting Charlie Kirk up like he was MLK Jr. is wild. He was a transphobe and misogynistic racist who didn’t see so many as human, as deserving of love or grace, of deserving of their rights.

Liking your own social media posts: morally gray behavior. Liking your own LinkedIn posts: morally depraved behavior.

Writing Superman fanfic about another being from Krypton by the name of Dean Cain who doesn't have any super powers other than being the stupidest Kryptonian to survive the planet exploding and leverages that talent to become a Lex Luthor bootlicker.

For this week’s newsletter I wrote about the story in the quote skeet below and how it is a sobering reminder that for many, Latinos will never be truly American www.latimes.com/delos/newsle...

Sure, America is a Christian country, it's just that the particular brand of Christianity that people practice here has a basis in genocide, lying, in theft, in oppression, in capitalism, in upholding power structures. Maybe the American brand of Christianity isn't Christianity?

NEW: An accessibility advocate who testified in support of Gov Polis' $29M Capitol pedestrian bridge project says he feels "humiliated" and "used." #copolitics

Friends, I'm finishing up a piece about the current state of arts funding and looking for a few more folks to quote. If you're interested, DM me, or reply here, with what you're thinking about, how it's impacting your org, your art, your work, and what long-term implications this might have.

Friends, I'm organizing a photoshoot and ongoing series with individuals from Immigrant and Indigenous communities over the next few weeks to highlight our shared anti-ICE solidarity and in support of immigrant rights. Hit me up if you're interested in being featured.

Capitalism has ruined the brains of conservatives so much that they couldn’t comprehend believing in anything enough to do it for free; therefore, protesters must be paid.

Fuck ICE. And solidarity to those in the streets in LA.

Right now, someone is generating an AI-grok video of a muscled-up Trump fighting an oiled-up, strong guy Elon.

Since today is gonna be an all-timer, what is your best day on Twitter/social media ever?

Every rightwing grifter on Twitter dot com freaking out right now, afraid that they're gonna catch a stray in the Trump-Elon fight.

Facebook needs an emoji for hate liking a post.

The fun thing that no one prepares you for as an artist is being invited to apply for things and then just being rejected. Truly a unique experience.

For this week’s Latinx files (the weekly newsletter that write), I mused about Carlos Vela leaving European soccer to come to LAFC, and how my initial skepticism about it turned to appreciation. www.latimes.com/delos/newsle...

As the sun set on Crested Butte, writer & adventurer Craig Childs and I stared up at the sky and chatted about his book, “The Wild Dark.” He taught me the word “noctalgia,” which is a longing for darkness in our light-polluted world. Airs soon on Colorado Matters. (Photo: @spacejunc.bsky.social)

Some recent pics from Oakland.

AfuA is a rockstar.. let's help her thru this

The new single from Alan Sparhawk @lowtheband.bsky.social "Not Broken" just kills me.

Good piece from Fidel. This ad is especially cringe here in Denver, where a Honduran DoorDash driver was seized by ICE back in late 2024 and has been imprisoned here ever since. 😵‍💫

The Windy City Pope.

Someday we will find out that Grok is actually just a ketamine-fueled Elon responding to every single prompt.

Movie Pitch - The Purge: Conclave. While the world awaits the anointing of a new pope, lawlessness reigns to until a new pope is named.

Ipswich Town looked like Real Madrid against Arsenal today.
