I see a strict Orwellian therapist who keeps me medicated against political outrage. My wife pointed out that it should be 'Huxlian' but Orwellian is more accessible and the pills keep me from killing myself over the details. Plus after forty-five years of Educational defunding, nobody knows.

@crankycyborg.bsky.social I don't know you well enough to feel guilty about being late, but I can send you this!

Following recent white house tweets and Presidential posts, I find myself wondering whether news organizations will now be barred from briefings if they don't refer to Trump as 'his highness' or 'the King.'

Bertolt Brecht on the difficulties of writing the truth in times of fascist governance: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfIh... Recorded by @dylanbrody.bsky.social

The brilliant @thebloggess.bsky.social (Jenny Lawson) responded to a note in which I shared my film YOU ARE HERE saying, "How did I miss this e-mail? I love this!" and I couldn't tell whether she loved the film or the note and I had to ask. I couldn't play it cool. Y'all, she loved my movie!

Conflict? What conflict of interest? As the #Trump/MuskWhitehouse sees it, this is all a perfect confluence of interest! If conflict is bad, confluence is good, right? How can people be angry at Team Tantrum when they stand to make so much money from what they're doing? #politicssky

From a European perspective

I created this to keep myself from falling to the paralysis of rage and sorrow. I hope you dig it. And share it widely. #booksky Own a theater or club? Please book in Thinking Allowed, my hilarious solo show designed to awaken compassion and critical thinking skills. Art saves the worl.

I would like to publicly and joyously thank @stardustbluepr.com for the magnificent work they have done in their tenure with activevoiceproductions.com . If you need someone to come in to your business or your life and get you on track with the Bluesky scene, I cannot recommend them more highly.

Any word on how Hegseth's sobriety is going?

In times of crisis humor serves as our greatest shield. In times of conflict, jokes become a weapon for the forces of good. in modern America, laughter is the best medicine many of us can afford. activevoiceproductions.com/humor-audit SOUND UP

I finally watched the whole of JD Vance*'s speech in Germany. We've moved from soft diplomacy to flaccid. *vance: (n) Yiddish; a bedbug

My favorite part of the US constitution is the part where it doesn't enshrine Capitalism as a national economic system.

Here's a question for the co-presidents, (f)Elon and the Incompetent Incontinent: What have you done since the inauguration to promote the general welfare?

Propaganda that stimulates thinking, in no matter what field, is useful to the cause of the oppressed. Such propaganda is very much needed. Under governments which serve to promote exploitation, thought is considered base. - Bertolt Brecht - 1935 #comedysky @stardustbluepr.com

For a while I was into punk theology. I spent my days contemplating how many pins you could pierce to the head of an angel.

As we learn today that 'non-violent, low-risk migrants' (read "human being") have been sent to Guantanamo, denied due process and imprisoned along with the most violent we must acknowledge that our nation now runs at least one concentration camp. Nobody? Not saying it yet? @cbsnews.com

The incontinent incompetent said "with the US in control [of Gaza] there will be civility in the Middle East for the first time," apparently unaware that civilizations rose and fell in the middle east long before his draft-dodging grandfather hit US shores. @johnfugelsang.bsky.social

Today I was confronted by my own cowardice in a decision not to engage in political discourse with my dentist.

(f)Elon Musk has taken control of the Federal Treachery.

The subject line was: "Your Pilot has been Greenlighted!" The e-mail it led to tried to sell me a beginning sit-com writing course run by a guy I ghost wrote two scripts for back in the '90s. For a moment, I genuinely thought I had landed a deal. Then it made me despondent.

ok, so basically I'm trying to make this post go viral.

Fortunately for all of us, Chuck Schumer is carefully weighing his options and intends to drone through a sternly worded memo by end of week.

We have tools at our disposal to #resist #fascism. One of mine is humor. If you're interested in honing your skills, I'm sharing everything I know to the best of my ability in hope of saving us from the Incontinent Incompetent but I cannot write all the jokes and satire myself. Write on, people.

Trump's grabbing people from the campaign, people he sees on TV, sticking 'em into positions where he thinks they might look good. It's less a government than a Duchamp sculpture. It's a national immersive guerilla theatre production making an absurdist statement on pointlessness and entropy.

Check out the next in a burgeoning series of Drills, Prompts and exercises for Writers! #booksky

Never forget. Never again. Never think it's just about Jews

I recorded a story thinking I could make it the preview portion of the podcast for non-subscribers, but it ran too long. I want everyone to be able to hear the whole story so I made this episode available in full as a stand-alone for $3. You get the full story PLUS the subscriber stuff.

The Emperor Has No Clues.

The Incontinent Incompetent currently defiling the Oval Office has established a foreign policy stance that can only be described as Manifest Density.

Hi, all you wonderful new people showing up in my sphere of influence and awareness! I hope none of you will be angry with me when I go out on a limb in modern America and say that I am firmly opposed to Naziism, slavery, and the subjugation of women.

FACTS!!

Don't know who to credit this to but I thank them.

In Boston for a few days. Just saw a guy in a Pasternak jersey hard-shoulder a MAGA hat in the crosswalk.
