Sometimes fiction tells truths that facts cannot. It was true of Steinbeck's THE GRAPES OF WRATH, and it's true of Larwence Wright's t heartfelt novel of the days leading up to the Hamas attack on Israel in 2023. THE HUMAN SCALE is suspenseful, hard to put down, even harder to forget.

Congratulations. What a steaming pile of shit Rudy turned out to be. It's like that Jackson Brown song, "The Pretender." The guy who started out "so young and strong, only to surrender."
I'm proud to say I was suspended permanently several years ago. I got blocked by Giuliani, a badge of honor.

Microwave Dave has joined the big band upstairs—playin’ that slide guitar!

Yes. Molly, aka the Thing of Evil.
Is that the thing of evil just off camera? 😱

I'm wearing my Yellowjackets jacket and ready for the final season.

Listen to the story that shaped a generation. Decades after starring in Stand By Me, the film adaptation of THE BODY, Wil Wheaton lends his voice to an all new recording of the audiobook. Pre-order your copy and start listening March 24, 2026.

I left X recently, but it is a good way to find out how insane far right ppl are getting, some of them on there seem to have forgotten they take medication. Others are so unhinged it's like they have a three ring circus full of clowns inside their head. Although It's very toxic, it's entertaining.

Isn't Tom Homan that bagful of cash guy?

I would love MLB to leave Twitter (formerlyX). Elon Musk is a whites-come-first guy, and MLB is totally integrated.

The rightwing response to the murder of Alex Pretti is predictable: to outshout and talk over anyone taking another position. The shrillness on Twitter is especially grating, but again, not surprising. It's Orwell's doublespeak. If the man had a cell phone instead of a gun, yell louder.

Trump has lost his mind. His speeches are insane, misspelled ravings about the 2020 election, filled with bad grammar and shotgun caps. If this guy were a mayor in Anytown, USA, he would be told politely but firmly to surrender the gavel and get medical help.
Trump really is trying to destroy America. He has ginned up this idea that there are Red states and Blue states, instead of the United States. I think (and hope) that we will outlast him. One year down, three to go.

The idiocy of Trump is almost divine. Someone on that other site said "How stupid can he be if he ran all that real estate stuff in NYC?" Well, we could argue about that, but I will admit he has a certain animal cunning. Of course, my first agent used to say, "Shit full of gas always floats."

290 days until the midterms.
We can do that.
Then, the results are good, impeach Trump.
Let's just count the days to the midterms and go from there.

1100 days left in the Trump presidency.
We can do that standing on our heads.
Right?

Ben Leonberg's short and rather wonderful movie, GOOD BOY, is shot from the dog's perspective.
It works.

I had an idea for a story the other day about a guy who sees a car passing him driven by mannequins. How weird that would be!

It'sd a fascinating idea.
You're not going to believe this, but I just had a minor existential crisis because I accidentally tried to write a novel like a peer-reviewed study. Not good for cause and effect storytelling.
10/10 do not recommend. Sci-fi is obviously not a lab experiment.

What’s your idea of Hell?

You're a fine actor, Mark.
The Wild Robot, The King of Kings, The Life Of Chuck, The Long Walk, The SpongeBob Movie: Search for Squarepants. Five completely diverse films, unified solely by the word “the” (and me). 2025 was quite THE year. #HappyNewYear

My idea of heaven: Fresh-baked sourdough bread from the Publix bakery.
Maduro's not a good guy, agreed. But neither is Putin, and Trump rolled out the red fucking carpet for him. It's not about dope, it's about oil (which kinda IS dope).
Just when you think Trump has hit the gutter, he bounces lower.
