If you can donate or volunteer, please do. If you need help, it's out there.

I need spinal surgery asap!

My sister organized a GoFundMe!

My father died suddenly in our home this past Sunday. I am fighting against the overwhelming revulsion I have to asking for financial support to ask for help covering my access to healthcare for the remainder of the year so that I can focus on supporting my mom.

If the wrapper were edible, I’d probably grasp a pack of these and eat it like Bugs Bunny eats a carrot. 😞
(After first eating just 1, of course, which reawakens The Hunger.)

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

Now is a good time to turn off video auto play.
Also just a friendly PSA that you are under no obligation to watch videos of horrific or gruesome events just because they appear in your feed. Sharing this because I'm familiar with the feeling of watching something without really thinking about it and then immediately regretting it.

Can folks do me a favor?

I was on Bluesky early & it was great. Mostly. I hit the eject button in January.

I came back, many colleagues are here, but still don’t know I am.

I co-created Halt and Catch Fire. I write TV & comics.

Here’s two favorite set photos.

‘Crime is down 87%… I’m trying to think of where was that 13%, because I don’t think it existed…’

How does he think these percentages work?

Does he think there was “a 13% of the time when Crime wasn’t happening”?
Trump: "Mayor Bowser better get her act straight or she won't be mayor very long because we'll take it over with the federal government and run it like it's supposed to be run ... it was a crime-invested rat hole."
