Sorry to hear about the death of Sal Buscema. He was Marvel's go-to artist in the 1970s. A pro. A great storyteller. Plus his art evolved over time to reflect both the need for speed and changes in reader taste.

Thrilled that DragonCon has invited me as a guest again this year. We had to cancel last year, but if we're alive we will be at DragonCon in 2026 no matter what!

Hey, remember when Trump tore down half the White House? The White House. Not HIS house. The White House. That was weird, huh?

Oscar noms are out. Once again my unfinished, unsold, unproduced screenplay did NOT get nominated. I'm puzzled by the oversight. It can't be who you know because I know everybody in my town in NC. #scriptsky #filmsky #writing

The Empire should've learned from Trump's Board of Peace and called this the "Peace Star."

You know those movies where the main character wakes up far in the future and the world feels insane. I feel like that every day.

When my dad had dementia, facilities had mock-up office desks with tools and supplies so residents could go through the muscle memory of work life. Can't we just do that with Trump? Fake Oval Office, fake cabinet members to kiss his ass, fake orders to sign, fake calls from Putin?

The Right is safely wrapped in their belief that Minnesota is a corrupt Democratic state (based on the Somali/daycare stories, which is the new Hunter Biden's laptop) fighting against the forces of federal justice. ICE is the tip of the Right's spear; nothing to do with immigration now.

At some point -- after more street violence and well before the midterms -- Trump will arrest top Democratic leaders around the country. The question is will his forces follow orders? The answer is probably yes.

Trump is preparing to gun down US citizens while Europe is preparing to repel a US attack in Greenland. This country has been colonized by MAGA.

Denmark & Europe must feel like they're taking crazy pills dealing with Trump on Greenland. It's like your neighbor decides he wants your car. He deserves your car. It's not really your car. If you won't negotiate in good faith the transfer of your car, he'll just take it.

Now that the holidays are over, the next calendar benchmark is when bear cam starts in June. I guess I can go to work and try to publish a book or sell a screenplay until then, but really I'm just coasting until bears. #bears

I watched 28 Years Later last night. It was well done. Plus probably the most tactical staging of mobs of naked people on screen ever. #filmsky

I wonder how many of Trump's family & friends bought defense-related stock before he announced that he wanted to raise the military budget by half a billion?

Are business cards still a thing? Are they old fashioned? If I handed some young exec or agent a business card would he look at me like I just gave him a cuneiform tablet? #writing #authorsky #scriptsky

Stephen Miller reminds me of guys you meet in college history or pol. sci. classes who derived their political thought exclusively from years of wargaming or Tom Clancy books.

My goal for the holidays was to write 20 pages on a new script before I returned to work 1/5. Up thru 1/2 I had 0 pages. As of yesterday I have 19. Are they good? No clue. But there they are. #scriptsky #author
