...it was early, eleven forty-five in the morning according to my watch. Too early to be dealing with this kind of bullshit. I was pissed, but that didn’t change anything. I still had two dead meat sacks taking up floor space in a studio apartment that was short on sq. ft. to begin with.

I guess it wasn’t such a great yardstick. I hadn’t brushed my teeth in three days at that point, but in my defense I had drank a lot of bourbon so I imagined that would have killed anything too dangerous hanging out between my gums.

romance is the single best selling genre of books, period. That being said, I’ll acknowledge that there’s a lot of, shall we say, “unpolished” writing skill out there in the category.
This is NOT that. This is flat out some of the best writing I’ve come across PERIOD.

“Goddamnit,” I said, as I laid my gun on the table. “Two dead assholes and I haven’t even brushed my teeth yet.”

SPIDER-NOIR: The New York Times calls it a washout, and adds DOA. It's much better than that. A lovingly created caricature of film noir that's mesmerizing in its carefully created look (Dutch angles aplenty) and snappy dialogue. It's heartfelt and fun, the last thing from DOA.

See, here’s the thing…
I get up in the morning, make coffee for the wife and I, walk the dog, head off to work, leave work and go straight to pick up the kids from two different play dates, bring them home, immediately start making dinner, feed them dinner, take my daughter to gymnastics…. (1/2)

Just watched the first episode of Widow’s Bay on Apple TV and it’s a straight up 10/10. Looks like it’s going to be very scary, but so far it’s also the funniest show I’ve seen in a really long time. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

OK, serious about getting back into this! This being writing and creative projects. Also, I really want to do this Bluesky thing for real, like circa 2015 twitter.
Anyway, getting back into my current WIP. Check out my first two scenes on YT...

Can I remind everyone that it is now 2026 and thus it's really unacceptable to show up as a presenter at a conference with a slide deck built in 4:3 aspect ratio.
Not only do you look like you don't know what you're doing, but it really fucks with the projection setup that is logically set at 16:9

Then all presences will be gone and by that time there won't be anything to do about it.
Our democratic leadership and moderate republicans aren't doing anything but giving sound bites. Rules don't matter, he doesn't follow them. America is over already, we just haven't caught up with it yet.

Here's the sad truth that no one is saying out loud.
America is already over. It's basically too late already.
Trump is EXACTLY the same as Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin, but he's holding back.
None of our leaders are doing ANYTHING.
If he succeeds in canceling the 2026 elections (and he might)
