STEP 1: Donald does something stupid.

STEP 2: Donald is surprised there are consequences.

STEP 3: Donald backs down.

STEP 4: Donald lies, claiming things already agreed to are new concessions he forced by the stupid thing he did.

STOP 5: REPEAT

Sold out everywhere. I have it back ordered.
This is written by the bishop who stood up to Orange Voldemort. Everyone should be buying this. It's available on Amazon for $14. I'm an atheist and I'm buying it. #booksky

People with eyes: "Elon Musk make a Nazi salute."

Historians who have studied the rise of fascism: "Elon Musk made a Nazi salute."

Mainstream Media: "Elon Musk made a heartfelt gesture that was misconstrued as a Nazi salute."

A thought to ponder on a cold day. If all against DEI initiatives were to never see more than one species of bird in their yard forever, which would it be and why? My vote is the Mourning Dove, which is dull colored, plump, poops everywhere and sits above judging you silently for hours at a time.

So here's what's cool about my job:

Yesterday morning I said, "We really ought to have TWIN PEAKS available." So then a bunch of people scrambled, worked really hard, and now you can watch every episode of David Lynch & Mark Frost's original series for free on Pluto TV: pluto.tv/us/on-demand...

For me, a story has two turning points:

- a drop point, when I decide it isn't for me and stop reading

and

- a hook, the point when a story grabs me and I am invested

As a writer, my goal is to put the hook before the drop point.

Mexico is sending its firefighters to California.

Canada is sending its water-drenching planes.

Trump is sending his stupid words.
