This is my son's cat, Pancakes. Until a moment before a took this picture, she was on my desk, being a nuisance. I said, "Why are you going after my mouse? Oh. You're a cat. Guess I just needed to say that outloud. Carry on."

Two things can be true at the same time. For example, it is true that Schumer is weak and capitulating, and has not been a strong leader.

It is also true that he secured the best deal we could have hoped for, separating DHS funding from the rest.

We'll see if he screws it up in the next 2 weeks.

Have you ever read something and thought, "Am I a mantis?"
One of my new mantises does not appear to have received the "stop eating when you're full" memo. All she craves is more prey.

I think a lot of us are going through a kind of grief that is insidious and debilitating. I'm trying to process it and manage it. Writing about it helps. A little.

"Or use the nozzle to blow up your vest."

You say that, but you didn't wrap your lips around that nozzle in the demo. No way you're getting enough pressure for inflation.

Seriously, have you never inflated a balloon?

Yeah, no shit. It is ALWAYS a full flight.

I'm nearly 53 years old, and no one has ever called me "The Space Cowboy" even though I have played my music in the sun, and whatnot.

To be fair, I am NOT a smoker.

YOU'RE ALWAYSorry, where's the music? Are we not doing the song again this time?

I just thought, y'know, it went over so well before and since this is the *audio* release, we'd want...

Really? An actual cease and desist letter?

Okay then.

It's out tomorrow.

I received a question about The Psychic on the Jury, and I wrote a response, after going through the 5 D's of Receiving Praise: Delight, Doubt, Due Diligence, Despair, and finally Determination.

A few words on my first day at Arisia 2026.

It's... kind of lonely, actually.

Here's a post that is ostensibly about going to Arisia 2026, but it's really an update on how I've been doing the last couple of weeks, which is to say: not well.

Roosters Bar, pulled pork sandwich, some tasting notes.

First, there is sweetness, like maybe applesauce left out for a couple hours. The flesh is soft, and pale. Cadaverous. 1/2

Landed is Salt Lake City, no problem. Sure hope I'm able to sleep on the next plane.
