I preemptively apologize for the upcoming second ouch. 😬😅

Your Tax Day reminder that trickle-down economics is a cruel hoax designed to enrich the wealthy and corporations while draining money for the middle class and the poor.

Don't let billionaires fool you into thinking we shouldn't tax the rich.

holy shit he actually conceded

folks, they tell you they’re invincible

they tell you they’re inevitable

they tell you that you should give up and stop fighting

and absolutely none of that is true

I've looked at wine from both sides now
It's life's hangovers I recall

Yes. "Worse." Sure. Absolutely.

OUTCOME reviews making me wish that way more people had seen DOUGLAS IS CANCELLED, in which Steven Moffat wrote basically the opposite of what everyone was expecting from his name and that title.

Yet be well assur’d
You put sharp weapons in a madman’s hands.

The American president simply cannot have this much power, even if they're the best person alive. The American democratic experiment only works if there's buy-in from as many people as possible, including at state and local levels. Will we fall short? All the time! But trying remains worth it.

In Korea, when the president declared martial law after midnight and erected barricades in Seoul, congressional reps from all parties ran into the streets, yanked ak47s from the army at the barricades, broke down the locked door to Congress, repealed the martial law order, and arrested the president

Accept the piss, everyone. Don't miss out. *takes a sip from the stuff of nightmares*

i made a cup of tea using piss. everyone uses piss to make tea. it’s just more efficient (already warm)

Dracula: The Danse Macabre is a 4-part adaptation of the novel I wrote and directed, with two actors playing all of the characters in the story.

I've also done comedies, action thrillers, apocalyptic fiction, historical fiction, bit of everything!

It's been a busy 11 years. 😅

I'm an audio fiction writer, director, and showrunner.

Those are some of my project.

Wolf 359 (2014-2017) was my first show, a 4 season science fiction series.

The Harbingers (in its first season now) is a modern fantasy thiller.

Hit Singles is an Audible romantic comedy series I created.

You can fix clunky dialogue pretty easily. You can make individual moments more resonant, or clearer, or funnier.

But if the arc isn't arc-ing? Brrrr. That's much, much harder to spot-weld. If there's a problem there, you gotta address it at once.

This is not a glib answer, I swear, but...

"Do things make sense?"

And I mean that both in a "logical sense" way and an "emotional sense" way. Do events cascade together in a way that builds to the right conclusion? Does the emotional journey read correctly?

Got a bit of time this morning while doing some writing work. Anyone got anything they want to know?

Happy to answer questions about Wolf 359, Harbingers, Hit Singles, Dracula, anything else!

14th Amendment (1868):

Seems pretty clear to me.

Happy TRUST NOTHING Day, everyone

Does anyone else cry when they see these videos? I’m not even an easy crier, and I don’t know what kind of bottled low grade trauma is living in my subconscious that makes this a constant, but whenever I see these the tears just come.

When I first read about ancient, barely mobile nonnas travelling hundreds of kilometers just to spit on Mussolini's dangling, naked corpse, it baffled me, a little. I didn't really grasp how someone could be driven to that kind of rage.

Well,

MSP is such a good town filled with good people. Nothing but delightful experiences whenever I’ve visited, and to see them show out in such strong numbers as a response to what they’ve been though is inspiring.

I’m once again coming to the internet asking for horny fiction podcast recs - what’s making you pine, ship, go feral recently??

Margo Madison and Aleida Rosales are back in my life, my spirits are lightened, my woes have been muted, my blood pressure is down, everything glows and it's a great day in the universe.

A lovely way to wake up! ☺️

given how fucking expensive it is to engage with most scripted fictional media it is right now: here is a reminder that there are unbelievably gorgeous fiction PODCASTS out there. they are FREE. you can engage in them while CLEANING or PLAYING VIDEO GAME. for FREE

just this week:

-- OpenAI killed Sora
-- Disney subsequently cancelled its investment in OpenAI
-- Wikipedia is now banning LLM-generated content

...tell me again how this is all "inevitable" and you have to "get on board or get left behind"?

Ooooh, great question. I believe it was a piece of stock music that we had from one of our subscriptions, but I'm honestly not 100% sure. Let me see if I can dig up the actual answer!
