A new episode of my podcast came out this week. It's about #EncinoMan, an insane movie where Pauly Shore is somehow one of the best parts about it.

Compared to other candidates, our Q4 fundraising numbers show a campaign powered by people, not special interests.

Who would you rather have representing you, a candidate supported by self-funding, special interests and billionaire checkbooks, or one overwhelmingly supported by the people?
Infographic showcasing different fundraising sources for Q4 in the IL-09 race using pie charts. Copy reads: ONE OF THESE IS NOT LIKE THE OTHERS. Our campaign is fueled - overwhelmingly - by tens of thousands of people, chipping in what they can. The others heavily depend on influence concentrated in a few big checks from corporate interests and AIPAC donors. YOU DECIDE THE TYPE OF LEADER YOU WANT IN CONGRESS. Funding sources key: Small individual donations [<$200] Large, in-state individual donations Personal funds Large, out-of-state donations [>$200] PACs, union & other funds TOP 3 CHARTS: Abughazaleh Small individual donations under $200: 69% Large individual donations out of state: 22% Large individual donations in state: 9% Biss: Large individual donations in state over $200: 80% Large individual donations out of state: 12% Small individual donations under $200: 5% PACs, unions, and other funds: 3% Fine: Large individual donations out of state: 61% Large individual donations in state: 27% Small individual donations under $200: 3% PACs, unions, and other funds: 1% Personal finances: less than 0%

While discussing the MGM film, Jason and Arielle decide that they misjudged #TheWiz. Our episode on #TheWizardofOz is live and can be found in the link in our bio or wherever you get podcasts.

(Also, our episode on the Wiz is on the feed as well.)

I enjoyed the new Daredevil, despite [REDACTED]. I hear the re-shoots become particularly noticeable after the first couple of episodes, so I'm curious if it takes a nose dive.

I'm off to see the Wizard, and hopefully I'm not poisoned, set on fire, underpaid, or assaulted by anyone while I'm doing it. Anyway, I have a new podcast out over at
@adultsiblingsvs.bsky.social and it's the Wizard of Oz.

I've been secretly, and very slowly, collecting Astra Militarum proxy models ever since I started in the #Warhammer40k hobby a few years ago. This week, I built up and based them because I was depressed and now I have less shelf space for Space Wolves.

I finally started working on the denouement of my science fiction novel. For the record, I started writing this project right after the first time we elected that clown (so, eight years)

The first draft will be over 170k. Sheesh.
