So, no one thought I would have a 50th birthday, but at the end of January, I will. I don't want to be involved in the planning or acquire any expectations, but Matt is trying to put something together, so if you'd like to be involved in some way contact @themattmcd.bsky.social

In less than a week, I will be sworn in as the next mayor of New York City. It was only possible because of the more than 100,000 people who volunteered on our campaign. Here’s a story about one of them, my mother.

OK, less contentious post:
You've been placed in charge of a movie studio, and have an unlimited budget to adapt any work of your choosing that has never been made into a live-action TV series or film. What are you picking?
For me: PC Hodgell's Kencyrath Cycle and there's no close second

By the same token anecdotal evidence shows that men are getting book contracts that assure they will have books put out by a major publisher until the year 2040 at least and are regularly on bestseller lists, yes, it's amazing what anecdotal evidence will show, all you need is a single anecdote
“Anecdotal evidence also suggests that men are being pushed out of the literary world.” Ah, yes, the famously reliable anecdata.

Among my daughter's closest friends in recent years have been people named Solar, Sunny, Lux, and Luna, and I'm starting to feel like her author is even more heavy-handed with the "theme" and "motif" stuff than mine is.

Previously, I posted that Na-ion batteries were likely to reach Li-ion battery energy density faster due to the prior advances and experience from Lithium work. Well, that’s appears to be the case. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨💧🔋 www.uh.edu/news-events/...
