I never submitted to Austin Film Festival before so I don't know the ropes. My script didn't advance but just got some very nice "reader" comments as part of the process. Should these be considered legit feedback, or more a pat on the head and thanks for playing? #scriptsky

Troops are ordered out of the trenches, over barbed wire, into no-man's land. They take the fire, endure the hardship, gain a sliver of ground. Then their commanders sign a cease-fire, give back that ground, and proclaim peace. Thank you, Democratic leaders, for your cowardice.

The govt shutdown was an American version of a general strike, something America could never manage. The Dems had the upper hand. They're giving it away because Dem leadership doesn't have the guts the American people do.

Trump should be paying for SNAP so he could trumpet "I will feed you while the Democrats play politics." Instead his message is "I am fighting to keep your emergency food money because it's my money."

Just when I was getting cozy with the idea of giving up the writing gig, I get notes like "unique voice and shows a lot of potential" and "fresh, entertaining story." Dammit. I was looking forward to being drunk without writing. #scriptsky #writersky

Trump hosted a Gatsby-themed Halloween party at Mar-a-Lago. Very fitting. Celebrating the period of grasping bubble economics that led to the worst collapse in history combined with smug puritanism that grew crime at an unprecedented rate.

Trump's siege of America enters it's 10th month with continuing armed sorties and undermining of the defensive walls. Soon disease and starvation will take hold.

I have a furious hatred for movies/tv where characters carry or drink from obviously empty to-go cups or tumblers. They might as well just let the boom mike come into the shot. #scriptsky

I started trying to break into comics in my mid-20s. Made it (small way) in early 30s. Started novels in early 30s. Made it (medium way) in 40s/50s. Now I'm 65 building a catalog of screenplays. When I'm 80 I will be a smash! #scriptsky #writersky

The upcoming food riots will fit into the MAGA plan that instability is created by their lawless opponents. The White House is eager to spill blood because that proves blood needed to be spilled. USA.

Seeing predictable "I think Trump's 3rd term talk could be serious" stories. Despite months of idiotic smug "don't worry, he can't do that", we should already know the Constitution is nothing without people of good will. Trump has co-opted the courts and destroyed Congress. He will serve a 3rd term.

Trump loves being president, and like everything he loves (money, acclaim, women), he believes he is owed it. He will run in '28 if he's alive. What mechanisms will stop him? The Constitution won't assert itself. What keeps him off ballots? What prevents his votes from being certified?

I've never been a rush-it-out 1st draft writer (unless I'm under deadline). I feel guilty not typing words, but most of the time it lets me think-plot-write, rather than write-rewrite-toss-replot-rewrite etc... Everybody's process is their own. #scriptsky #writersky

Race cuts deeper than class here. Trump can let food stamps go without fearing much loss of support. The white poor will blame the black poor for wrecking the system. They'd rather see their kids go hungry than think it's possible a black person who doesn't deserve it is being fed.

We have tilted the "being shamed for being a Nazi is bad" fulcrum. Next up, the "slavery was a common and useful system" fulcrum. Thanks, Trump.
