They say your second book is harder to write than your first one, so I’m writing my second book first. So far it’s 0 pages and 0 words long. I’m sixty.

Watch Pluribus on Apple TV. From Vince Gilligan, starring Rhea Seehorn. No, I can’t tell you what it’s about. No, you shouldn’t try to find out. Just trust me. You trust me, right? Go in blind. (Also ignore the stupid ad campaign.)
The only bad part so far is they’ve only released two episodes.

Fundraising text message informs me that the “calvary” has arrived. I guess that’s one way of saying the quiet part out loud…albeit at the wrong point in the liturgical year.

I don’t know how to cook with soy lecithin, but I DO know how to pronounce it. I’ll eat those words…and still go hungry. See also mascarpone.

Last weekend, @annabower.bsky.social started to receive Signal messages from the U.S. attorney who is leading the prosecution of Letitia James.
Throughout the exchange, Lindsay Halligan complained about Bower’s tweets and reporting on the indictment–but never once asked to be off the record.

The United States should not wage war against Iran.
Donald Trump’s bombing of Iran is unconstitutional. Only Congress can declare war — and the Senate must vote immediately to prevent an another endless war.
This is a horrific war of choice.

If the Supreme Court ultimately agrees with what the gov't is arguing today, that the President has broad Article II powers that would permit it to deport people & there can be no judicial review, then literally no one is safe.

When you have a cold or flu and the ugly parts of yourself you normally can’t see parade past you in fever dreams carrying outtakes from the reels of your life and chanting “ ‘TURD’ SIGHT SWIDT” and you roll over and groan and they follow you because the most mortifying scenes are on shuffle now.
