President Leeroy Jenkins. I’m am dead. 😆 💀
Some of it is weird, but it actually has helped me some with accountability!
SCHLAPP: Who wants to see impeachment hearings?
CPAC CROWD: *cheers*
SCHLAPP: No. That was the wrong answer.
My birb also discovered this. And dislikes things I love. 😆

This looks so cool!
The cover of my book Love Never Dies. A black background with a bright red cameo in the centre that holds two skeletons facing each other. Their mouths are open and it looks like the dialogue coming out of their mouths is in the form of white daisies. The cameo is surrounded by decorations featuring film reels, popcorn buckets, and bones. The title Love Never Dies is at the top and my name is at the bottom.
I'm finally allowed to reveal the cover for my book! This is Love Never Dies: Romance in Horror Movies. It's coming from @beaconpress on September 29. Isn't it beautiful? Dan McCarthy is the artist and Louis Roe is the designer.
It should never be forgotten that MEL BROOKS had the World Premiere of
BLAZING SADDLES (1974)
take place at the Pickwick Drive-In Theater in Burbank, Los Angeles for 250 invited guests - ALL ON HORSEBACK.
I have a new book out this summer! Wolf’s Belly is a graphic novel illustrated by the incredible Simón Estrada. us.macmillan.com/books/978125...
It’s the loss of this universal understanding that has opened us up for all this insane awfulness. Enough people have not known or cared to the point our basic defenses against monstrosity have grown too thin to keep the worst things from gaining power.
Actions matter most, however. For sure.
For the most part I completely agree, but I think there is an exception that exists when most people know and care about a thing. It creates a paradigm, and paradigms protect us from preposterous things. Just the act of knowing and sharing this truth creates a shield against ridiculous cruelty.
Holly Mitchell is our featured author this week. Read America Marvel's interview with the author, in which Mitchell talks about narrative structure, in SmokeLong. www.smokelong.com/interviews/s...
This stuff is getting to be so difficult and time-consuming. Even worse is the terrifying knowledge that many (maybe even most) people simply don’t have the patience or capability to sniff out scams and propaganda.

I just want to do back to mildly corrupt, mostly boring politics with a (hopefully) progressive bend toward kindness and compassion. That’s it.
It is, but it often feels like an abandonment of some necessary social responsibility.
I would be so much happier if I just wrote, read, played the occasional video game, and hung out with my dog and family, while doing my best to avoid any inkling of news about the horrors, but the idea is so antithetical to who I have always been: a person who knows things and cares about the world.
I love this so much. ❤️
Thrilled to see this! You’re the best, Steve.
