Spotted a piece of Revenge of the Sith concept art I'd never seen before in the latest Star Wars Insider.

That's a good day in my book.

Finished season 3 of Yellowjackets this last week, and yeah, I think ending it after season 4 is probably the right call. I liked the second half of s3 better than the first half so hopefully it can end on a high-ish note.

One of these movies gave me a decent idea for a short story I'll probably end up writing at some point.

Last four movies I've logged on Letterboxd: Holland (3 stars), Malcolm X (4,5 stars), In A Lovely Place (4 stars), They Live (3,5 stars)

My Pennywise impression sounds the same as my Yoda impression.

Russian drone sightings in Norway only 60 km from where I live? Things are literally starting to get too close to home. What a fun time we live in...

Just reread a short story I wrote four years ago, and somehow I didn't hate it.

I'm shocked.

Today's writing session was a lot of heavy lifting and not so much of my preferred lighthearted banter. Still, favorite line of the day was

"Isn't it possible you actually like her as a person, and not just because she's a girl who gives you butterflies in your tummy?"

Only 20,000 words to go of my current draft :)

Today's favorite line of dialogue:

"Yuck," exclaimed Susanne. "This is both gross and childish. Here somebody's drawn a – no, wait. Never mind, it's just a dick."

Of all the dialogue I wrote today, this is my favorite line:

"Didn't she think it was suspicious when a thirteen-year-old complete stranger with a kinda cute serial killer notebook showed up on her doorstep asking her a bunch of weird questions about her nephew who died suddenly a decade ago?"

"We're going to have to learn to live with [radical right wing demagoguery with all its associated violence]" is:

- An abdication of responsibility.

- An abandonment of hope.

- A position only available to those who feel safe enough with an ongoing catastrophe to begin the work of normalizing it

"Much of what I would describe as Kirk's worst moments were now just standard fair MAGA Republicanism. And the leader of MAGA Republicanism is the President of the United States...we are going to have to live here with each other believing what we believe. Disagreeing in the ways we disagree."

It is the job of the Democratic party to sell and defend the policies that most Democratic voters want, not to present a candidate slate that is palatable to moderate Republicans who might switch if they hate their own candidate enough.

Christina Ricci has always been better than Selma Blair, but this makes it even more clear and obvious.

Charles James Kirk, 31, died on Wednesday from a gunshot to the neck at a Utah Valley University
campus event just as he was trying to deflect a question about mass shootings by suggesting they were largely a function of gang violence. He died with a net worth of $12 million, which he made by espousing horrific and bigoted views in the name of advancing Christian nationalism. The foundation of his empire was the group he cofounded and led, Turning Point USA, which is a key youth-recruitment arm of the MAGA movement.
Kirk was able to launch Turning Point at the age of 18 because he received money from Tea Party member Bill Montgomery, right-wing donor Foster Feiss, and his own father, also a prolific right-wing donor. He was an unrepentant racist, transphobe, homophobe, and misogynist who often wrapped his bigotry in Bible verses because there was no other way to pretend that it was morally correct. He had children, as do many vile people.

There is no requirement to take part in this whitewashing campaign, and refusing to join in doesn't make anyone a bad person. It's a choice to write an obituary that begins
"Joseph Goebbels was a gifted marketer and loving father to six children."

rarely have I more acutely felt the dynamic by which Dems are held responsible for the rhetoric of every random left-leaning person on the internet and Republicans are not even asked to answer for their own personal words

Part of what keeps America so violent is the insistence that people perform care, empty goodness and absolution for white men who espouse hatred and violence.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

It's 40 years since the release of Back to the Future - the start of an amazing trilogy. That really means there's no better time to watch the Flash cartoons I made twenty-ish years ago. They've been off Youtube for about a decade, but I just put them back up.

This must surely be happening because I only just watched it for the first time last week.

For the sequel, they should just fully commit to it being a musical.

When Batman the Animated Series reminds you of Cruel Intentions and you wonder if Reese Witherspoon could've a been a good Harley Quinn.

Still from the Batman the Animated Series episode Harlequinade. An out of costume Harley Quinn is sitting in the passenger seat of the Batmoble, making faces at Batman who is driving.

Screencap from the 1999 movie Cruel Ingtentions. Reese Witherspoon is sitting in the passenger seat of a car, making faces at Ryan Phillippe who is driving.
