I grew up reading The Wheel of Time and it was my constant companion when things were tough or lonely. It's one of the reasons I became a writer. To see what they've done with the show, especially in season 3, gives me great joy.

Saw someone ask, "is the Kool Aid Man the jar or the liquid?"
It's like asking is a human the skin or the blood?

Io is my favorite place in the solar system outside of Earth.
Not to, like, live, of course. It's an absolute hellscape of volcanoes and sulfur that falls like snow. But that just makes it more interesting than like 99% of all the other boring rocks out in space.

What is this, 2011?
Once upon a time, I built basically all the initial traffic to the digital magazine I helped found -- ARC -- based on my Twitter followers and checkmark status. Now that would basically be impossible on most social platforms.
Except for, apparently, Bluesky 🤩

I always find it disconcerting when my younger colleagues don't understand my Max Headroom references.
Happy 37th anniversary of the Max Headroom Incident, to those who celebrate.

When I went back to school, all my under $200,000 (probably under $50k the year I started) income got me was immediately approved for the highest amount of student loans and a few thousand dollars in Pell grants.
MIT announced that it would eliminate tuition costs next fall for all undergraduate students whose families earn less than $200,000 per year — following a national movement to try to make higher education more accessible. nyti.ms/3V6GVia

Once upon a time, I used to have a lot to say on social. As a journalist, part of the gig. I was on Bluesky early but, I dunno, what's there to say? Sometimes I have a thought ... then just text it to my mother instead.
Now she's all over Bluesky
So @mylight55.bsky.social ... what's happening? 😁
