Kid: Why does your shirt say "I died for your sins too"?
Me: It's about Jean Grey
Kid: Why did she die?
Me: It's an allegory
Kid: She died from an allegory?

So you want to be a Hollywood writer? My book is filled with advice on how to write for both TV and movies and it's only $1.99 on Kindle. My favorite response came from a reader who DM'd me to say that he went straight from reading my book to writing a script.

Never forget that Mamdani went into the White House and called Trump a fascist to his face and it made Trump so frightened of him he grinned like a buffoon and played nice through the entire press session.
note to everyone else they're trying to intimidate: telling the administration to fuck off remains the single most effective response
Lol the US just abandoned their effort to get mad at the guy that threw Bolsonaro in prison. Big "my toddler tantrum didn't get me nothing so we're done here" energy.

Over and over, the NYT amplifies Trump's damaging and cruel propaganda. This was egregious, set in large type and plastered at the top of the website. I fixed it for them, but they should NOT be printing this, ahem, garbage.

I just saw a tiktok proposing a Bob's Burgers X-mas episode where Linda becomes a Salvation Army bell ringer. I would like to add to that idea that while doing so she finds out how bad the Salvation Army is and goes on a crusade against them.
