Remember my new book is up on NetGalley and Edelweiss, if you're an advance reviewer. Response has been weirdly, unanimously and overwhelmingly positive. You can break that streak!

ultrasound place has called me THREE TIMES to confirm i’m okay with a male tech. i do not give a shit what the gender is of the person ramming an ultrasound rod into my tiddy and neck meat if it means i can figure out what’s causing my nerve pain and dislocations

One of the most litigious companies in the world just gave full use of its characters to an app that will allow people to put them in homemade snuff films all in hopes of never having to pay a human being for a movie or TV show again

can't get over the team behind the mcdonald's ad wanting credit for all the late nights and long hours they spent prompting for clips. you've somehow invented a form of ersatz creativity that recreates the suffering inherent to all creative work without any valuable output or intellectual growth
there’s just a certain type of person who would show up to your writer’s group wanting praise for presenting work but violently rejecting any form of constructive criticism that might improve it, and that right there is the target market for AI

not sure how universal this problem is but it has inconvenienced me more than once in life that Outlast (horror game) and Outkast (hip hop duo) are only one letter apart

driving down an empty country road late last night and my rental car starts dinging an alarm that the passenger in the backseat is not wearing their seatbelt. important to note that my luggage was in the trunk, so it wasn’t misreading the weight of my suitcase as being a person. cool stuff!

I love seeing all my friends at cons. If I didn’t get a chance to say hi or bye, it’s just because everything happens so much all the time at these events and I am barely clinging to my sanity every moment I’m not in my hotel room watching Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives

going through some Brain Worm Shit and it’s making it so setting up real plans at PAX Unplugged feels really insurmountable. I think I’m mostly just going to be kicking it in the Circ Bar at the Marriott this weekend. come through and chat Hero Forge/game stuff/play Magic with me, etc.

look I know being an engaged citizen IS the work of democracy but it is also the work of elected officials not to create situations where everyone has to be mobilized all the time to prevent them from allowing some kind of Dickensian horror on a Sunday night while you're in between loads of laundry
