Editor, upcoming indie feature "3." Also, "Richie Rich" on Netflix, "Foursome" on YouTube Premium, indie "Boy Makes Girl." Asst. Editor on Disney's Descendants movies, S1 of Quantum Leap, That's So Raven, many others. Writer of stuff you've never read. Hopefully one day you will. Well, here I am.

My profession, the fields I cover, the studios that create the games and films I love, the environment, public services, free press, democracy—the ultra-rich are destroying everything I love, in one way or another.

this is beautiful

Breaking hiatus to draw this meme that's been stuck in my head since the trailer came out

After yesterday's ridiculous failed stunt, I'm actually starting to believe at least some of the Republicans pushing the "lawfare" narrative actually believe it. And I don't think I'm even capable of a graver insult than saying I actually believe someone thinks Trump's a victim of anything.

increasingly feels like my Perfectly Fine liberal arts education was an artifact grabbed fleeing a burning temple

We need at some point to talk about American Evangelicalism as a heretical movement. We should not indulge the delusion of a bunch or nuts who cherry-pick the Bible to rationalize otherwise indefensible 21st century bigotries that they are representatives of a global faith.

When I said things couldn’t get dumber it wasn’t meant to be a dare

I'm sure "affordability" has popped as the poll tested safe ground for Democrats to campaign on. But I wonder how often the consultants poll, "How sick are you of the bad guys getting away with it?"

It's so weird that Dolly Parton used her money to help ordinary people in a thousand different meaningful ways *and* lived an incredibly happy fulfilled life, almost like there's some sort of connection between the two. Anyway, let me read about another AI CEO poisoning a town for shits and giggles

It'll come as no shock to anyone that David Ellison is evil, but seriously, extorting the state by promising to further devastate California's film economy if they don't allow him to run roughshod over antitrust laws? In a sane society, that would be criminal.

So many sneering elitist journalists with snarky posts over the past months that the Reflecting Pool story was trivial. It was so trivial that the DC US Attny presented false evidence to a grand jury to indict an innocent man to please the President while they both lied about it.

If you google Newsom and the EDD, all you'll see is articles about pandemic-era fraud and @gavinnewsom.bsky.social 's vows to fix it. What you don't see is how these "fixes" have made it absolutely nightmarish for people in need to use.

Higher education isn't supposed to be solely about job training. You want to breed generation after generation of idiots? This is how you do it.

It’s like when your food is taking a long time to come out so your server brings some free bread to apologize for the wait.

Lindsey Graham died the way he lived, as a minor distraction from Mitch McConnell

Most of all, Lindsey Graham should be remembered as a passionate defender of rapists.

I wish the media had the same urgency about the state of Mitch McConnell as they did for Kamala's W-2 from McDonald's in the 80s.

Love every time there's some article about the end of literacy or the educational crisis or the epidemic of conspiracy theories and it's always presented as if these are things that *just happened* and never really get into the fact that these are the consequences of a deliberate agenda.

Guess I need to find a way to play all my legacy games on a non-windows machine, because after today, I cannot ethically give @microsoft.com a dime.

Unless you personally know and have fought alongside a politician or they have a long, long, loooooong track record, you can’t just embrace them and then deflect every attack or scandal. These people don’t deserve your trust, only your suspicion. This has to change and it has to change fast.

This might be the most blatant example in existence of "rich guy who created a problem attempting to place the blame for that problem on immigrants"

Maybe it's just low expectations, but I thoroughly enjoyed Supergirl.

I’ve noticed many conservatives think that they can distinguish between the policy they support and the low moral character of the president who pursues it for them. But it’s the opposite: conservative policy is of low moral character; Trump merely makes that fact highly detectable and undeniable.

Shareholders.

Donald Trump is a terrible president but you have to admit he’s an even worse human being.

The $1.7 million no-bid contract to clean the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool went to a company ultimately owned by Trump donor John J. Cafaro, who previously pleaded guilty in separate federal cases involving bribery and campaign finance violations. The company's name? Greenwater Services.

“The reflecting pool is open and everyone is having a wonderful time.”

The reflecting pool is the gift that keeps on giving. It's nice to have something that's actually low-stakes that still manages to be a perfect metaphor for the stupidity and corruption of the regime.

it's pretty on the nose for modern american life that a company that doesn't really do anything at all is on track to be the biggest company in america

No one told us fascism was going to be so embarassing and so pathetic. And, yet it always has been. The most embarassing. The most pathetic.

NBA is rigged! when Spurs had 29 point lead the game should have been immediately stopped and Spurs declared winner. Instead officials decides to play "4th quarter?" and Knicks "somehow" score enough baskets to win. Fraud!

You've gotta understand "Los Angeles" basically exists in the conservative media as a totally fictional city, a failed state where gangs of homeless have chased out middle class families and the mayor commits arson on the houses of the rich bsky.app/profile/elve...

Los Angeles County literally has a fully transparent vote counting process - the entire count is livestreamed online. This commitment to transparency makes zero difference, mainstream press still credulously repeats GOP info bubble claims of fraud anyway.

They’re saying boooooooooooooootiful big bill

The line to get into the Burbank Costco goes out to the street and around the block. 1970s vibes.

The best way to honor fallen soldiers is to avoid careless reasons to create more of them.

He doesn't mean they're doing better now. He just means we stopped helping them.

As a science fiction writer I really fucking resent tech bros for ruining the phrase "artificial intelligence." 80 years of it being all about cool androids and interesting computers destroyed by five years of "Spicy autocorrect making everything shittier for money." NEVER FORGIVE.

YOU’RE LISTENING TO SISYPHUS FM, THE HOME OF NON-STOP ROCK

Just wanted to let you know that the IRS has audited every president annually for decades now to ensure there was no corruption and the reason you didn't know that was because only one president found that to be a problem
