Last con of the season is Twin Cities Con in Minneapolis this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday! I have one panel, a puppet battle, and a lot of time at table #756, where I'll be selling and signing my books. I *never* table, so I am intimidated and might hide under the table. Any advice??

This is bonkers. Honestly Rocco was too good for the Twins and he deserves better. I’d love to see him in Baltimore tbh
Twins just announced Rocco Baldelli will not return as manager.

i love this part and i think it very much shows the difference in depth of thinking between someone like Klein, desperately fighting in the here-and-now and arguing to win a battle with compromise, versus Coates' position that he is a soldier in a long war.

As someone who works from home, this schedule is kind of peak for this week.

- you clean up that banksy?

They erased the new Banksy mural in London. But the stain remains.

Everyone you know is an accident or illness away from losing everything. There are a handful of people who can afford whatever gets thrown at them but the rest of us are at the whims of people who treat our health as a business.
Every once in a while I tell people from other countries about how the health insurance system works in the US and they are aghast. Yesterday a guy straight up didn’t believe me when I said people can die because of not being able to afford medicine. He was sure I meant in the distant past.

Bro they’ll let you take your seat belt off to run away. Like, they can’t jack the car with you in it anyway. They’ll give you a chance to leave. You’re so cowardly that you don’t want a barrier to fleeing.
Markwayne Mullin: "I'm not joking when I say this. I drive around Washington DC in my Jeep - yes, I drive myself - & I don't buckle up. The reason I don't buckle up - people can say whatever they want - is because of carjacking. I don't want to be stuck in my vehicle when I need to exit in a hurry."

An unemployed Tetsuya Naito got a one-day night shift at Tako Q, a takoyaki shop in Oshima. Naturally, Unagi Sayaka found out and went there to assess his soft serve ice cream skills and probably to book him for one of her future events.

Everyone has one Mitch Hedberg joke stashed in their brain like a squirrel to sustain them whenever they need to feel joy for 30 seconds and mine is “they say the recipe for Sprite is Lemon and Lime but I tried to make it at home, there’s more to it than that”
