I am richer for having read this.
I want the Horse to have cake.
I want cake - but not the fire cake that tries to kill the boy.

The only question I have after reading this is:

Pulitzer?

Or Nobel?

Me, Sat morning 5am rushing to find a horse and feed it cake.

This is one of the finest pieces of writing by an animal since Dog's legal analysis of what happened to the breakfast cereal. dqybidc0ulehf.cloudfront.net/cereal-in-my...

Don't argue with a horse. They'll just drag you down to their level beat you with experience. And hooves.

I Work Very Hard, And I Would Like To Try Cake By A Horse Hello. I am a horse. I work very hard at my job of being a horse. When humans say move the heavy thing, I move the heavy thing. When humans sit on top of me and pull on my head, I carry them where they want to go. The main food the humans give me is hay and oats. But I am thinking it would be nice to have a different food. I am thinking I would like to try cake. Yes, yes. Cake. I know all about it. When humans eat cake, it is in glad times. It is the food for a celebration, such as when a woman becomes 47. I have seen cake on the Fourth of July. When humans have a cake, they stand around it and clap hands and smile and say happy birthday at each other. Sometimes there are beautiful markings on a cake, such as balloons or a pink shape. Sometimes the top of a cake is on fire and a boy must blow on the fire with mouth wind. This is the scariest cake. I do not want this kind. But I will eat any other cake. Any cake that is not the fire cake that tries to kill the boy. Please understand: I do not get money for doing work. I do not get to go inside the house. All I am either doing my horse job or standing in my pen or eating food off the floor. I always do these things. But I have never once gotten cake and I would like it very much. I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children. I am more helpful to the farm. Children do not move the heavy things like me or let anyone ride on them. And yet they get cake. Maybe the humans will realize this. Maybe they will say, "You know who deserves cake? That horse. That horse whose back we are always on." Every day I dream about what it will be like if I get to eat cake. Here is what will happen. First, I will walk to the cake and putt my nose at it like hrrfff to make and stomping my hooves to make sure it is not a snake. Then I will trot in a circle to show that I am a horse and I am large. After that, I will nuzzle the cake to …

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me.

It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

This is the most delightful thing I’ve ever read

The first American woman in space was also the youngest American astronaut at the time.

Sally Ride made history in 1983 and helped open the door for generations of women in STEM.

Astronaut. Physicist. Later recognized as the first known LGBTQ astronaut.

Dripping with the right kind of “populism”

Keep’m coming...

Let’s be clear on what’s happening here. They’re trying to steal the next election and this is a smoking gun.

GOP Senator Mike Lee sees polling that shows Dems gaining ground and the solution isn’t better ideas or better leadership. The solution is rushing to pass the SAVE Act.

#Meta: Fuck you so hard, you parasites. You're evil *and* boring at the same time. There are worms living inside a dog's colon with more charisma. No-one will miss you when you're gone, and you'd better believe that time will come, you sad, irrelevant little wankers.

I found out one of my novels, Quake City, is in the #shadowlibrary Library Genesis and was likely used to train Meta's #AI. Let's talk about this.

#LibGen: You pirated my novel and I would prefer to have been paid, but I'm fine with that. You do great work in making books accessible. Keep it up.

I ntroducing a new shelving method today, based on pupil browsing habits.

It may look chaotic, but the Heap Lie On method is going to be a game changer - who needs tidy shelves anyway?!
