Hey NYTimes — *now* you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.

I loved @aoc.bsky.social's Instagram Live. She mentioned at the start about turning it into a handbook, so I did, using as much verbatim material as I could. Here's the UNOFFICIAL, unsanctioned PDF, no info to give, no forms to fill. Please share. www.christopherspenn.com/wp-content/u...

I'll never understand cheering against the villain in a movie, but supporting them in reality.
It could not be more obvious who the bad guys are here.

The movement drew my eye to the pendant that laid on the exposed part of his chest in his unbuttoned shirt. I looked at his face again in time to catch the nervous lick of his lips. He sucked the lower one in between his teeth, preparing himself to speak his line on stage.

The hand that put his glasses on rested in his pocket for only a moment. He brought it up to adjust his shirt collar. The only tell that he was feeling nervous in the public setting.

Story about VA man w/ largest cache of homemade explosives ever, lightning strikes Capitol, Empire State Building, and Washington Monument, an Army vet commits terrorism in N.O., a cyber truck explodes in front of t.t. in Vegas, and fireworks explosion in Hawaii.
Calm down 2025. You just started.

Trump is not the President elect.

He's the assistant to the President non-elect.

Reflecting on this year. I put my candle business on hold and went from dev editor to co-author for J. Denison Reed's prequel to his Clifford's War series, TYE. Now, I'm writing my first novel.
12 yr old me would be so proud.

1591 pages of TYE read this month. Nice.
Thanks to everyone who contributed to the number.🫶

Every morning, when it's still quiet, I like to start my day with coffee while scrolling the socials. For three weeks, now, five(ish) minutes in, I want to delete all of my accounts and only focus on my WIP.

President-elect Trump and his allies disavowed the conservative Project 2025 during the election.

Now, his transition team is turning to Project 2025 to help staff the next administration, sources tell @nbcnews.com.

I will never understand how a billionaire, the richest man on Earth, spent millions to buy an election for ANOTHER billionaire, and told us that his policies would cause all of us non-billionaires “temporary hardship...”

...and the public didn't tell BOTH OF THEM to fuck off.
