We’re so humbled by the kindness of friends, family, and even strangers this week. Our son has a complex, degenerative condition, and caring for him has become harder than ever.

Times are tough for so many, which makes every donation and kind word mean the world. Thank you ❤️

TOP: Prem shares a clip of Noem saying “we’re going to take the same approach with Antifa” as they did with the boats they bombed (without evidence)

BOTTOM: Ingraham’s latest segment saying “they’re all Antifa now”🤔

BOTTOM LINE: We are over the cliff here, folks

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

I find it baffling how little impact the existence of the Undertaker, a literal walking corpse, has had on science and religion

Reminds me of when I still collected comics and had to get all the variant covers.

Love how they continue to infantilize this 22-year-old woman. She scares the shit out of them, doesn't she?

Let it never again be said that a woman with no real reporting experience who fell for a Twitter account called "Official Antifa" cannot be the head of a huge news organization

YouTube tutorials and some beginners books on chords. She went to stay with my sister’s family for a week and they’re all musicians so she got a few free piano & guitar lessons. As soon as she came back she’s been hooked!

Ohhh I didn’t know that. Agreed, it would be sadder if he wasn’t so awful.

We usually stick to the first 10-12 seasons, so this just blows my mind.

From 2020, when I had some time and energy to do little sketches.

Hey y'all - sharing again as I'm really proud of the work I'm doing here & just trying to promote my writing however I can. I'm pretty good at promoting everything else but myself these days. All subs are appreciated but the paid subs will help me keep this going (plus we have a big vet visit soon).

Heatherface Wixson @thehorrorchick.bsky.social · Aug 28

Hey y'all - so everything has now been set up on Ghost officially. I'm sending an email to all current subscribers soon about what the happs are. And for those who would like to sub, I have paid & free tiers: from-the-desk-of-the-horror-chick.ghost.io (you can even tip too instead! LOL)

It’s probably long Covid but admitting that would betray their grift so sure, let’s go with “someone has put a hex on us”

My forthcoming book about one of history's most delayed albums has once again been delayed. Funny, right? Anyway, on Dec 4th you be able to purchase and read MAGNUM OPUS: THE UNBELIEVABLE 15 YEAR SAGA OF GUNS N' ROSES' CHINESE DEMOCRACY and if it gets delayed again I will jump off an oil tanker!

I appreciate you just sharing it, Michael. I know everyone's having a rough time. 🙏

Hot take: I should be able to sell one of my kidneys. It's MY kidney!

Apropos of nothing… here’s our GoFundMe for our boy. We're *this* close to getting a life-changing wheelchair accessible vehicle. Thank you for sharing. 🙏
