The first time I saw that thing I nearly drove off the road. I was not aware of that moniker. LOLing.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.

He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

Thanks to the editors at The Untelling including my work in the latest issue. It’s a beautifully made journal!

Hmmm. Lit journal snidely or flat out doesn't respond to submits, or follow-up queries, loses grant funding, then asks for donations.

Um, no.

Sour grapes? Nah. I've published plenty. It's more about treatment people. Rejection? Sure! Totally fine. Rude? No.

So, boo hoo Texas lit mag. And FDT

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply.

I want to make sure this is very clear.

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation.

I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

What the United States did in Venezuela is prohibited under international law, which bars the use of force as an instrument of national policy.

I can se that I’m in peak “Between Christmas and New Year’s” because I’m all HEY! Let’s sharpen every knife we own in one session!

GenAI truly is the asbestos poisoning our collectively shared resources and infrastructure.

I work in marketing so it totally tracks that I don't have an author website of my own. But for those interested, more info on my work and access to it is on chillsubs: www.chillsubs.com/profile/gabr...

Hell yes, Pittsburgh. Love Yinz. No Kings.

There was an incredible turnout across small-town USA! Many events weren’t even on our radar. Our coalition initially tracked around 3,000 events, but the number has now surged past 4,000 and counting.

Quiet house, cocktail, good book—does it get much better?

PTO mode: engaged.

LOOOOVVVVEEEE the Gipsy Kings. Saw them in Pittsburgh a few years ago. Great show.

It literally rained on the pustule’s parade.

And I had tacos for dinner.

Hahahahaha guy’s a fucking loser. One whose puppet masters do a lot of damage. But still a loser.

It must surely be an unfortunate day to be someone who incessantly obsessed over crowd size.

Because they are just so fucking stupid. And horrifyingly evil. But mostly the first thing.

Fixed it for you.
