My favorite sign today. The woman hand drew this reference to the 1988 movie They Live!

I know!!! We tried to explain the danger. None of what he is doing now is surprising. I think people thought we were exaggerating.

When they tell you you might get blood in you at #evildeadthemusical, they aren't joking! #indianapolis #musical #theatre

It is!!!! I loved it as a little kid because of the aliens and ray guns, then grew into those larger themes. And Kenneth Johnson did it all on an 80s TV budget but it still looks like an expensive modern movie!

Let's all watch or rewatch the #classictelevision #scifi V miniseries. This came out in the early 80s, so no current political figures or parties were in mind. It's an exploration of #fascism (and aliens) that falls completely outside current Us vs Them dynamics. www.amazon.com/Original-Min...

I had a little bit of a cold so treated myself to some yummy #Bakkutteh #soup from #chinbrothers #restaurant.
I'm pretty sure my clumsy brain and mouth called it Mah Bootay soup when I ordered it. They gave me the right soup. My booty feels better.

When I put the same comma back that I took out the day before, that's a good sign the #proofreading phase is finally done #authorlife

Proofreading feels neverending. Going through my next book 'one more time,' I still found one misspelled word, two capitalization errors, two punctuation errors, and four subjective comma stuff that most people wouldn't have noticed. My reward for fixing those problems--I get to proofread it again!

Apparently beaver symbolism is very popular in North Dakota and Canada. My friend AND HER MOM like to send me beaver sport-ball stuff. I must have said something leading them to believe I love musky river mammals ;) Go beavers! lol

Personalities who appear to validate the long-running persecution narrative alleging a small % of the population with very little actual power is somehow hurting them can attract lots of followers.

matthewbarron.bsky.social @matthewbarron.bsky.social · 21d

I think some of the resentment and #hate that attracts people to certain #podcasters is caused by people being given the impression they would need to give up their seat at the table in order for someone else to have a seat at the table. But it's a REALLY BIG table with lots of empty chairs!

IN MEMORIAM: When I find something that works, I stick with it. After around 20 years and even being soldered once, my favorite frames have reached the end of their service.

I'm getting some new lenses made for my backup pair, which looks pretty similar to this pair.

I heard the #rapture is tomorrow. If you wake up in the morning still on earth, you didn't make the cut and will be stuck here with me. I'm betting lots of people won't make the cut.

I heard a legislator saying calling #Trump an " #existentialthreattodemocracy " was inflated #rhetoric, part of the problem. But when Trump asks states to redraw districts before an #election, that is a literal, completely objective direct threat to #democracy.
