Writing scripts for @hcrichardson.bsky.social’s @250to250.bsky.social project has been a career highlight for me. It’s been an honor to be involved in this important project. I’m proud of this script I wrote about signing of the Declaration of Independence. Heather’s reading makes it even better!

THE INCREDIBLES is a movie where the parents insisted that their children not express who and what they actually were, and it was the children rebelling against them and letting their true selves out that literally saved everyone's lives and their relationships with one another.

Exciting times we live in. No idea if I’m going to die from a preventable disease, preventable bacteria in food, a preventable nuclear war, a preventable famine, or the Earth becoming uninhabitable, which some people are actively exacerbating. Truly exciting times.

this week, MAGA lost their fucking minds when they were advised to avoid breathing wildfire smoke. also, Nosferatu McGoebbels is a hideous piece of shit and Jesse Watters thinks rape jokes are hilarious. it's all in my 'this week in stupid,' thank you for your attention. link is here: bit.ly/4yuUOsr

and this, my friends, is the difference between freedom and free dumb.

freedom is the ability to live your life as you see fit. free dumb is doing stupid shit specifically because someone asks you not to.

this is why so many of these dumbfucks died during covid — because nobody tells MAGA what to do.

so go for it, Eric. step outside and breathe deeply. fill your chest with all that smokey goodness. mmm, feel that tightness? that overwhelming urge to cough up a lung? that’s free dumb!

and while you’re at it, go play in traffic. that’ll really stick it to The Man.

I love this one. This was the one that made me realize these were going to work. A minute isn’t much time and I worried it was too little. But this one does more in a minute than I could do in a whole semester.
