It’s so weird to live in a country that is pussy-whipped simultaneously by Israel and Saudi Arabia

the future of the democratic party is this old guy who sucks

I’m just slime in a bag. There are also rocks in there. Any time you touch me and feel something that doesn’t feel like slime, that’s one of the rocks

They’re terrified of the people realizing their power. They’re terrified of anyone who actually wants to disrupt the status quo for anything besides profit. 📢 DON’T RANK CUOMO! 📢

Just twiddling my thumbs and thinking about how many people who defend or even champion bombing a foreign country also think that assassinating one (1) rich guy “Doesn’t solve anything” and “only makes things worse.”

Summer 2025

The Democratic Party has its finger on the pulse. Their most effective operators would see the blockbuster success of Not Like Us and reach the conclusion that Jared from Subway should run for president

But Black Dynamite… MY indiscretions are causing issues within the community!

Mahmoud Khalil is finally home with his beautiful wife and newborn son. Each one of the 104 days he spent detained was a grave injustice. From the moment of his detention, @ccrjustice.org + @aclu.org engaged my office as we worked closely to help secure his release. They did remarkable work here.

Frankly, this is insulting to Mayor Vaughn, who exposed himself and his family to the same risk he forced others to confront, invested in preventative anti-shark measures even when he was unconvinced, and did a 180 to fully fund and support destroying the shark after the tragic events of 7/4/75.

An asterisk on this: I decided on a song I wanted to build an action setpiece a year ago and so last September I spent about six hours orchestrating it. So, yesterday all I needed to do with it was chop it up and modify it to fit the episode. That accounts for 5-6 of the score’s wildest minutes.

Thank you. I also drank an entire 2L bottle of Mountain Dew Baja Blast in that same space of time. Much less, actually. That was probably gone within 30 hours

Hell on Earth Act Three has nearly 75 minutes of music. I started working on it at 9:15 yesterday morning and I finished it at 4:45 this afternoon

The work I’ve accomplished over the past 40 hours is, frankly, ridiculous.

Maybe I’ve been reading too much @mattielubchansky.com

You cannot be reaching out to people with these insulting freelance rates

One thing it does REALLY well, is impersonating the tool it’s marketed as without actually BEING that tool. If you ask for cited quotes, it invents them. If you say they’re fake, it apologizes and invents more and says THESE are real. The VOICE aspect is so convincing, people then use the fake info.

There’s a scene in this ep between @rachelmillman.bsky.social and @autoames.bsky.social that I was looking forward to working on for a literal year, and the homies did not disappoint. They approached it with all sincerity. I’m so grateful to have had their help in realizing this ridiculous dream.

ACT TWO of our grand finale to the Death’s Door Saga is up RIGHT NOW, with the conclusion coming Sunday morning. As revealed at the end of Act One, @rachelmillman.bsky.social is BACK as the Wolf Woman — or should we say Wolf…Congresswoman? Visit Gwen Conliffe’s personal Hell: DarkUniversePod.com

yooo the homies @dylanroth.bsky.social and @daltondeschain.com in movie jawn, what’s good

Re-sharing for the evening crowd, check out my piece about the amazing horror fanfic podcast #AreYouAfraidOfTheDarkUniverse? Read it, then listen to the show! You will fall in love with the characters.

No film composer has ever gone harder on the end credits than Don Davis in The Matrix Reloaded. The first two movies closed with Rage Against the Machine? Yeah okay challenge accepted. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ydL...

egads! my candidate is a sexual harasser who resigned in disgrace! but what if… i were to paint his popular opponent as a fearful spectre of brownness? ho ho, delightfully devilish, entire establishment media and political apparatus

I am going to die from Mountain Dew poisoning. I’m going to Baja Blast myself to death

Every once in a while I remember that however good I get at writing, broadcasting, editing, and composing will mean diddly squat if I don’t also get good at marketing and advertising.

That’s a real terrible world you got there. Be a real shame if someone let it get incrementally worse on every level

Bumping this one last time. I still need to raise $400 by tomorrow. Anything helps!

Captain America 4 was weak but this prequel looks good youtu.be/oQXdM3J33No

a fun feature of American political discourse is that young people who get disillusioned and sit out elections are blamed for everything bad while the old people who actually vote for all the bad shit are immune to criticism apparently

The repression of trans people is not, by and large, a grassroots outpouring of hatred from the American people. It's something that's been carefully planted and tended over years by a handful of media people and their pet reporters.

Really great fanart for one of the best DS9 episodes ever: www.tumblr.com/pien-art/699...

It's all one fight and we're leaving no one behind.

Schumer needs to go. Immediately. Trans rights isn't a distraction.

"In a day and age where the medium of film seems to have been reduced to a joyless commodity, it is a refreshing change of pace to stumble upon storytellers with fresh ideas and a unique voice that reminds you why you used to get excited when the trailer for a new Marvel movie dropped." ☺️
