It feels like it was about 18 months ago, but could be as long as three years ago, that my friend told me about a TV show he was developing. It was a brilliant idea, I thought. A science fiction action comedy? YES PLEASE.

In the early 2000s, I worked on a couple of movies that were direct-to-DVD, low budget versions of successful, big budget movies of the moment. They weren't high art, but they were so much fun. This is a story about one of them.

can i tell you a story?

Earlier today, a really fun memory surfaced that I wanted to share, because I haven’t had an opportunity to tell a story in a little while. It’s an older memory, so I’m sure some of the specifics aren’t entirely correct, but this is way I remember it. In the early...

I went to the mall and I wrote about it.

I was grateful for it, because choosing to experience grief instead of avoiding it with anger was a big time goal, something I worked really hard to accomplish.

Today's episode of It's Storytime with @wilwheaton.net features my short story, "With Her Serpent Locks" and a conversation between us. Go listen! wilwheaton.net/podcast/

Listening to @wilwheaton.net’s Storytime podcast read of Andrea Chapela’s “As One Listens to the Rain” was especially cool after visiting Mexico City in March. I think it conjured last night’s lighting storm that shook the sleeping house.

None of this would be happening if Kamala Harris were president. None of it. And we fucking told you so.

I am coming to your computer (or your tablet or your phone or even your TV, I think) on June 7 for a virtual convention that needs a much better name than Couch Con, because at this moment in time, that's ... uh ... not what this is.

i’m calling it ‘wil wheatcon’ until i can think of something better

In an average year, I travel to around 5 or 6 cities for conventions. Almost every time I announce an appearance, the most common response is some version of “that’s great! When are you coming to [my town]?” I’m not coming to your town, but I am coming to your...

want to read a novel that you're absolutely sure was not created with A.I.? read any book published before 2020 trust me, there's quite a few good ones

Maybe it will happen today.

Dems are polling crazy high based on the flaming catastrophe that is Republican fascist rule, so primarying as many of the bad weak complicit Democrats in favor of good determined angry ones has rarely if ever been more crucial

Yes, I want to see most or perhaps all of these scumbags in prison. But I gotta be honest: I look at the Democratic Party and I don't see more than a handful of people with the integrity and fortitude to make that happen.

Indy and Chicago! We're coming to see you next month

I loved narrating this story. It's just wonderful, and offered a ton of opportunities for me to make big creative choices. I am so grateful that @thisisguan.bsky.social trusted me with their words.

Maybe it will happen today.

Obama: I'd love a Republican Party that wasn't constantly tapping into our worst impulses, and there has been a Republican Party like that in the past and I want to see that return @wilwheaton.net: wtf are you talking about

I want to take a moment and say thank you for all the messages of comfort and support that so many of y'all have shared with me since Marlowe passed. I haven't ever felt this kind of grief, for this long, in my life before now.

Hi friends. There's a new episode of It's Storytime waiting for you wherever you get your podcasts. This week's story is To Carry You Inside You, by Tia Tashiro. It's one of those wonderful speculative fiction stories that isn't necessarily about me, but is REALLY about me, you know?

Maybe it will happen today.

Todd Blanche is lying. I don't know what he's saying, but I know that he's lying.

Trust in national media: 28%. 75% of local newsrooms: gone. Billionaires buying what's left. My own Dem congressman wouldn't take a stand against Trump's Fed Chair pick—a man in the Epstein files 500+ times. Not one Illinois paper has touched the story. This is why independent media exists.

The Rise of Independent Media — And Why the Powerful Are Terrified of It

Corporate media is collapsing under the weight of its own corruption. Something new is rising in its place. And this weekend, I’ll be in the middle of it.

Trump Appears To Doze During Stroke

Trying again. It is WILD that this isn't the top story in the country right now. The president is weak, feeble, sundowning, and unable to faithfully discharge the responsibilities of his office. It's right here, live on camera, and the national press just shrugs.

The final episode of 120 Minutes, broadcast December 27, 1993. I can't believe this was 33 years ago. Thirty. Three. Years. Ago. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNSg...

The fact that Trump had appointed a totally unqualified donor to be Secretary of the Navy leading into what turned into the biggest crisis for the US Navy since World War 2 could be covered like the media covered Michael "Brownie" Brown during Hurricane Katrina. They choose not to do this!

For the record: The Washington Post is run by partisan hacks who think we won't remember that they took the *exact* opposite stance when it was Republicans pushing their own gerrymandering grab in Texas last year -- *without* putting it up for a vote.

For the record: The Washington Post can go fuck itself. Support pro-democracy media that doesn't have its head stuck up Donald Trump's ass. bit.ly/4qmEiFz
