I write... or I wrote. I've done other things too. Also, a big fan of waffles, comic books and classic movies. A big kid in an oversized body for over 50 years, catcher in the wry. 100% NOT the weirdo conservative doomsday prepper!!!

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

Hells yes, Sir! 🤣

I actually took that earlier and had no idea what to say about it. Then I saw your video, and the second you said that it was like Mama Murphy all over again...

Never stop questioning - curiosity has its own reason for existing. Of all of life's questions, we all must know:

Hey, Ohio... have you got corn?

More importantly, is Fallout 76 becoming Fallout: New Vegas 2? @rickgamesnow.bsky.social knows the truth!Check out his video at youtu.be/sGKPY-Simg0?...

@themodusfiles.bsky.social Some Wastelanders questioned what the future held for them in the Ohio Dust Bowl. Deserts? Raiders?

"We have CORN!" raged Buckeye Vault-dweller @rickgamesnow.bsky.social. "LOTS of CORN!" he predicted, envisioning a world of corn like some Psycho-addled prophet of doom...

The best reason to carry the chainsaw is so you can cosplay as Ash from Evil Dead by combo-ing it with "Blue and Tan Shirt & Slacks" and the pompadour wig.

The second best reason is so you can cosplay as Leatherface.

The third is... well, it's just good wholesome fun. Ask Leatherface and Ash.

Drew Struzan...

The man could convey the entire essence of a movie in a single, beautiful image. His work made me want to travel to other galaxies and to cross time and space; to join heroes on their adventures, and to battle villains beyond my imagination.

A true unsung hero.

Last Sunday, @demiforillinois.bsky.social, @raygunsite.com and I hosted a No Kings protest sign-making party with the best problem:

So many people showed up, we ran out of table space.

This is what community care looks like.

A resource war brewing, a cadre of super-wealthy business folks conspiring with the government, internment camps, an authoritatian regime..?

Nope. Not seeing it.

And don't reminded of Kim Wu's story in F4. I cry every time.

But... nope. No parallels. Um... pass me that hammer.

@rickgamesnow.bsky.social @themodusfiles.bsky.social The original Raiders were well-educated, adopting a barbaric appearance mostly for psychological effect.

However, later recruits were far less capable - believing that if you only have a hammer, every problem is a nail. Even a blocked urinal.

They've used and abused the Punisher logo for years now. Absolutely no self-awareness that they're the kind of assholes the Punisher can't stand.

This isn’t about politics; it’s about ownership of the scoreboard. When the scoreboard changes owners, the game changes. The sale no one voted on...and why you should care.🔥👇
