when a poor person uses food stamps for a steak or homeless person spends $5 on a beer, it’s seen as proof that all poor people are so bad with money that they shouldn’t be given any, ever, for any reason. $77 billion out the window, and zuck’s legacy as a safe government contract bet is secure.

We should amend the U.S. constitution to eliminate the presidential pardon. Its potential for abuse is far greater than its power to redress wrongs.

I call myself expuritan rather than exvangelical (following Sarah Vowell’s distinction in The Wordy Shipmates). Evangelical Christianity is, as I understand it, emotional. Puritan Christianity emphasizes a rational relationship with the divine. 1/2

If you’re an artist (in whatever media), what book from childhood shaped your art? For me it would be two, one forced on me and one chosen: the King James Bible, and Charles Finger’s Tales from Silver Lands. I have quarrels with both now, but they made my writing what it is.

So it snowed and I let our new husky mix pup out to play in the backyard for 15 minutes then spent the next 15 minutes calling him back inside.

My best creativity hack: start thinking about what you’re going to write as soon as you get the assignment, then start writing a few hours before the deadline.

Just watched the movie Eddington. It reminds me of Class of 1984, in being an overwrought and ludicrous “this is what America’s come to” story that shows no understanding of the actual issues it pretends to address or of how people work. Even Pedro Pascal can’t save it.

Mice have at least one nest in our back yard. Unexpectedly, Teddy (the not-quite-year-old husky mix we just adopted) turns out to be quite the mouser. We have to check his mouth before we let him back in the house.
On the downside, he’s chewed up a book and a power cord in the last two days.

When I call our usual pizza place, I now get an AI order taker that doesn’t identify itself as such. Fortunately it will let me talk to a person if I ask (which I do), but it still ticks me off.

Rewatching The Prisoner, which I last saw in the 1900s. If they made it today it would have slicker special effects and more naturalistic acting, completely ruining it.
