Whalecome to some new followers! I'm a writer presently polishing a novel with an editor for an interested agent and working on the second one at the same time. My genre is character-based fantasy (i.e. no politics or scheming houses) with some adventure and laughs thrown in. Happy to have you!

How did I not know #LegoWednesday is a thing here?

Here's an oldie of mine, Jerry's new girlfriend getting a chilly reception from Elaine and Kramer.

I think had this happened in the States the officers would have put twenty-seven bullets in it. Unless it was wearing a MAGA hat; then they would have taken it to Burger King.

I've never watched a single episode of 'The Apprentice'... and have led a rich and fulfilling life as a result.

Sorry, on being the first man to break the sound barrier!

I guess Henry Kissinger is finally getting a taste of what all that napalm he had dropped on thousands of innocent people feels like.

Prediction - it will be someone unexpected and largely unknown, likely a 30-ish British actor with a few minor professional credits. Ship has sailed on both Henry Cavill and Idris Elba, alas.

What they look for most in the actor is how he moves on screen. Everything else is secondary.

It looks like I'm not the only Bondophile here.

Any interest in speculating on who will play the next James Bond 007?

Maybe even with polls and brackets?

A little dive into Canadian federal politics this morning.

I have been wracking my brain trying to figure out why an odious, lying weasel like Pierre Poilievre is polling so well that the media has pretty much decided he's the next PM, game over (even though the election is two years out). And it

This is why Elmo deserves every ounce of shame coming his way. He has enough money to fix almost every problem on earth and instead prioritized promoting Nazis and his own ego. May he suffer endless lemon-juiced paper cuts for eternity.

Pep talk for those who need it - ready? -

Stop allowing the media to keep you in a state of panic. You aren’t helping anything by being overwhelmed & frozen in fear. Every election we’ve had since 2020 has shown Democrats as victors. It will take time to regain what we lost in 2016 but we CAN and

Hoping that the reason some of the writers I follow have gone quiet is because they're writing. Sending good thoughts.

I really thought my imagination was played out on this book, that there was nothing new I could offer it. But after getting significant feedback from both an agent and an edit, I am finding brand new parts of the story I never knew existed.

This is why we do this.

If Elon Musk and Donald Trump had decided to stay out of the public sphere they could have quietly enjoyed their riches and even been seen as enviable success stories. But ego has made them completely torch their reputations and they will now be remembered only as vile Nazi-enabling a-holes.

It feels of late there is a real conspiracy afoot to make everyone miserable, in order to fulfill a specific agenda, and misanthropes like Musk, Trump, Poilievre, Murdoch etc. are mere agents of same. We could do a lot to defeat them by continuing to look for the light.

I really wish we could collectively learn to demand better of our elected officials. So many of them seem to be otherwise unemployable morons who slither into office in safe seats or riding waves of apathy and then set about wallowing in crapulence.

OMG watching Tucker Carlson talk about Jews influencing white genocide with Candace Owens nodding in agreement is 4Chan on steroids.

This is mainstream Republican. Terrifying.

And my Canadian friends here should know that the person leading the polls to become our next prime minister is an active transphobe as is his scheming wife. Our media is giving them a total pass on this.

November 13 - 19th is Transgender Awareness Week, leading up to Transgender Remembrance Day on November 20th.

It's a very scary time for the trans community and those of us who love them. I am awed by the perseverance and resilience of my trans friends and family. 1/4

In fairness to him it wasn't a well-written part. The character was obviously a bad guy from the jump. And thirdly, it came out in the Sony hack that they had wanted to cast Chiwetel Ejiofor but Andrew was $1 million cheaper.

Spoutible would be most definitely not improved if it was suddenly besieged by influencers pitching their body-shaming wares. I am not sure why some seem to be longing for that.
