My job is to meet the smartest people on the planet and ask them what they’d like to rethink from the ground up, and also if there’s a good lunch spot nearby that they’d recommend.

Yesterday morning I ordered a breakfast burrito and they asked me if I wanted it warmed up.
I can't stop thinking about this.
Are there really people out there eating cold breakfast burritos?

Avi Loeb says 30-40% chance the Atlas Interstellar object is an alien ship.
DON’T THREATEN ME WITH A GOOD TIME

(FWIW - I interviewed Prof. Loeb once and he’s a very thoughtful, and intelligent guy -but I think he’s probably wrong about the alien stuff. Unfortunately.)

Release Day. My new single “Camelot” is now available from all the internet’s musical places. It’s the B-side of a 7-inch record slated to drop on Nov 4th, but available for preorder….right now. *Triumphantly fires cap gun towards sky, immediately apologizes to upstairs neighbor*

The Press really should be asking Trump the important questions, like:
"What year is it?"
"What day is it?"
"What city are you in right now?"
"Who is the President right now?"
"How many fingers am I holding up?"

Absolute Wonder Woman by @kellythompson.bsky.social is the best comic published by DC now.
Even though it’s set in a universe dominated by Darkseid, the literal god of fascism, it delivers a Diana who is more … delightful? Kind? Patient?
It plays against expectations, and delivers on every level.

I just want to let you all know I was taken up in the Rapture today (which was also a surprise to me!) … but the line for badges was really long, and I had to pee. So I waited, like …. 45 minutes and then gave up and took the slide back down.
Next time!

Hey @stevemartinreally.bsky.social ! This season of Only Murders In The Building is great so far - but unfortunately I have to cancel my Disney+ and Hulu subscription to boycott ABC for caving to fascism.
Can you summarize the rest of the season as a bluegrass song?

I just sent my letter! Thanks @marthawells.com for sharing this post!
Also - did you know that the one thing Disney fears more than the FCC is DECLINING STREAMING SUBSCRIPTIONS?
It's always fun to boycott companies when they cave to authoritarianists!

I know that the 3I/ATLAS interstellar object is probably not a spaceship, but I REALLY want it to be.

If you haven’t read Emma Newman’s books, you are missing out. Her Planetfall books are some of the best science fiction out there.
She’s currently in dire straits, so help if you can, even if it just means buying a book.
