On a completely unrelated note, what's an acceptable amount to spend on zombie soldiers for the Forgotten King? Asking for a friend. Open to all arguments. Well, most arguments.

Am I fucking crazy, or has this been one shitty debate performance, followed by a week plus of story after story about "panic" etc? No new evidence that he's unable to do it, just constant "people are saying"?

I have spent a sum of money on the Spero Toys holiday sale. Not a large sum, but a sum. I regret nothing. (until later this summer when I redo the shelves in my office)

HIGHLY recommended seasons 1,2, and 5. Kinda recommend season three. I can sum up season four for you in a sentence or two, if you really want, but otherwise you can skip it and it won't change a damned thing.

I mean, I look at the structural stuff, not the narrative here. The polls have barely moved, Trump has no money, and Biden has a huge war chest and time booked. Why let the panic of a few people- largely driven by people that already don’t like Biden- shape what I’m thinking here?

Did you ever watch Person of Interest? Harold Finch made it look terrifyingly easy to hack phones/records/computers. Granted, one of the conceits of the show is he's literally the *original* hacker from the '70s, but still...

Having worked as a crew person on so many films and TV shows, it's always fascinating seeing the difference between "the celebrity" and the person you hung out with at lunch or the hotel bar. Fifteen years and I think there were maybe three times I was starstruck by someone.

i refuse to believe that americans who watched the debate think that biden’s first 15 minutes are somehow stronger evidence of old age decline than falling asleep, *in public*, DURING YOUR OWN FUCKING CRIMINAL TRIAL, *IN COURT IN FRONT OF THE JUDGE AND JURY*, but, you know, i’m not a columnist.

The new COVID variant seems to be evading immunity from vaccines and past infections. COVID cases are up 250% in NYC. Remember the more you get covid your risk for long covid increases significantly.

Everybody needs to see this quote, understand that this is what Project 2025 is about, and internalize the fact that this is what the Republican Party is doing.

This is not a conspiracy theory from the left. They are saying it out loud.

True fact-- I worked on a very "meh" B-movie called GALE FORCE that had about a week of night shoots. At one point, around two in the morning, the boom operator stole the director's megaphone and delivered the entire Independence Day speech to the cast and crew, pitch perfect, to thunderous applause

I simultaneously feel like Biden should probably not be the Democratic nominee and also that parts of the media seem weirdly gleeful about it in a way that completely ignores the consequences of electing Trump again

“Patriotism I s a word which always commemorates a robbery. There isn’t a foot of land in the world which doesn’t represent the ousting & re-ousting of a long line of successive ‘owners,’ who each in turn, as ‘patriots,’ with proud swelling hearts defended it… 8/9

Year after year long lists of casualties were published during the week that followed. Twain didn't think the "odious pandemonium" stood for anything. It was an imitation of Guy Fawkes Day, an excuse to fire pistols in the air & set things ablaze, crying patriotism. 7/9

Yeah, I'm being really careful with names in this one because it's got a high bodycount and some deaths are worse than others and I just want to make sure I don't get any emails from random friends or family members going "oh, so THIS is what you think of me?!?"

Editing the WIP (yeah some of us ENJOY the holidays) and found this gem... "We're calling it a possible murder-suicide." "Really? Which one committed suicide? The one who stabbed herself in the back ten times or the one who cut his own head off?"

And the primary reason for that is because the money you get when you go past GO each time, does not increase. But rents do.

I have to admit, I love so many of these old stories with their goofy coincidences, characters acting like idiots, and all that. They so rarely hold up on that level, but I *always* get a little happy rush of childhood nostalgia.

Not to be corny but I do think the ongoing aspiration to make America a pluralist democracy of equals is righteous, beautiful, and worth honoring, even if it has more often been the struggle of minorities & dissenters than the policy of the government. 🇺🇸
