Trailer for Pluribus, Rhea Seehorn howling like a coyote in a deserted cul-de-sac, her insane half chuckle at the end. Yup, I’m in. Just watched the first episode and wow! What a pilot! Now Apple TV is choking & won’t load the second episode. WTF?

What an absolute delight! Also, the dopamine hit from hearing Kate McKinnon has the same Meyers Briggs as me was a weird little boost.

It was fun to talk to the @latimes.com about The Payback, why I chose to set the book in Glendale, and my favorite LA hangout spot.
Choose your L.A. literary adventure with these 5 new novels and writer hangouts
We asked the authors of five novels set in and around Los Angeles why they chose that setting — and where they like to hang out around L.A.

While searching for dentists who still take Medi-Cal, this excellent essay found me. My teeth were ruined in infancy by tetracycline. They’ve been a source of pain and shame my whole life. Fuck the system that denies dental care is as essential to good health for poor people as it is for the rich.

The unbearable summer heat days are upon me, flaring up all my chronic symptoms. Resting is non-negotiable so I rewatch comfort shows. Downton Abbey: A New Era was so enjoyable with my monitor on grayscale. Never thought to do that before! Really made it feel like a vintage film.

Slow, gentle #earthquake in Los Angeles. Went on long enough to think about that 8.8 the other day. Some day it will probably be us. But not today, Richter scale!

There is actually a very accurate historical document of the post-9/11 vibes.

The House just passed its budget resolution, so reconciliation is now officially underway. This is their bill to destroy Medicaid and SNAP while cutting taxes disproportionately for the rich.
THIS IS VERY REAL and can be enacted even if all Ds vote no.

I think this is a Red Bellied Woodpecker, but what do I know? Some kind of woodpecker making a spectacular racket outside my window in Yucatán years ago.
