I’m saying this in my capacity as an author and once and future library worker:

Read whatever the hell you want.

I cannot impress enough on you that the “important” books aren’t important if you don’t jive with them. The popular books, the canon, the whatever. Read what you want.

Nothing more fun than firing up the old heavy Dell laptop to type in www(dot)...just to get rick rolled from the front page.
Sometimes I get very confused by the knowledge that I was a YouTuber before iPhones existed.

Senators tweeting "still waiting on the price of groceries to drop" is not going to save our nation. To the surprise of no one, it isn't effective.

For years I justified my twitter habit by saying, "I need to be here to promote my books and stuff like the Project for Awesome."

Without twitter, this year's p4a raised a record $3,700,000.

Without twitter, Everything Is Tuberculosis (a history of tuberculosis!) is outselling my previous book...

Terrace Martin's new album is refreshing. Chill vibes, fun funk, features that matter... Just a really good listen.

I’m confused about this blackout today. Are people supposed to be on social media or not? I’ve seen different things.

Buckle up
After that plane literally flipped upside down after smashing into the runway and 100% of people survived, I hope every person who ever said “what’s even the point of seatbelts on a plane” feels like a real doof.

Old school weight lifters are still out here loading up their smallest buddy with enough weight to snap a ligament and watching without remorse. Sans camera.

In a world of influencers, there's still hope for the gym.

I've been inspired by the elder millennials getting on the skateboards. I don't have a good setup, but I have a few I can ride.
Let's get it.

4. One of the year's criminally underseen films is Titus Kaphar's EXHIBITING FORGIVENESS, a film I've cherished since seeing it at Sundance.

For TIME, I spoke with Kaphar and André Holland about the uneasy relationship Black folks share with religion and forgiveness.

Katt Williams and Kendrick Lamar stand on business like Batman.
It's a little extra punch here or there for the slick talk.

I’m curious how much federal funding he thinks the ACLU receives (it’s none).
