And I mean awful in the best way.

This is an awful and beautiful story!

I think it's a good thing.

Bears mentioning that everything everyone on this site feared Trump would do to Iran yesterday, Israel is doing to Lebanon today.

This one hit me hard.

You would get so many more amazing books if you had Universal Basic Income. Not even the most dream-scenario AI could compete with the creativity of a world of authors no longer afraid of affording rent.

Anytime Trump brings up World War II, someone should ask him which was the correct side.

It has been a bit, but I have a small piece in the new Gyroscope Review. This one is quite important to me and I am glad that it has finally found a home. Check it out: www.gyroscopereview.com/2026/04/spri...

Books should take forever to write. They should torture you your entire life and the things you could have said slightly better should haunt you forever. This is what art is for, transferring the discomfort of being human into something relatable to the other humans

TAPPER: You know that if you vote against an additional $50 billion of funding for operations in Iran, that vote will be cast as you voting against the troops.

CHRIS MURPHY: Come on. The American people do not want this war. If you support the troops, you should be voting against this war.

The best way to wrap your head around the “it’s all a distraction thing” is Nemik’s 40 atrocities speech from Andor. It’s not “just a distraction”, it’s that each atrocity distracts from all the other atrocities.

Oh she’s phenomenal. This is Sophia Chang.

Everybody has it backwards.

Billionaires aren’t buying up these institutions to make money. They’re buying them to kill them. Same as the oligarchs destroying government and social programs and things like weather forecasting and regulatory bodies.

On January 24th, my parents home burned down. They and my disabled brother escaped with only minor burns but they lost everything they've ever had.

I'm running a GoFundMe to help them recover and rebuild. I would be deeply grateful for any donations but also for any shares!

One of the things bothering me about how people are responding to the Epstein files is that there are tons of conspiracies being created and spread about what’s in them, rather than people just believing the victims like they could have been doing for years now

Sometimes my state grows a spine...

Are we?

I think potentially my favorite story to tell from my long and not so varied retail days is when a certain ms. Lohan came into my store and became extremely angry that I didn't know who she was, even after she told me her name.
