Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

I swear I make a new project in this house every time I move a chair. At least it’s the corner I’m ignoring until upstairs is done!

After a long absence from NYC, my urge to obtain a pigeon is harder to deal with than ever. They are EVERYWHERE, and I saw a fancy one that looked like latte art.

"WE'VE ARRANGED A society based on science and technology, in which nobody understands anything about science technology. And this combustible mixture of ignorance and power, sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces. Who is running the science and technology in a democracy if the people don't know anything about it?"
"Science is more than a body of knowledge, it's a way of thinking. A way of skeptically interrogating the universe with a fine understanding of human fallibility. If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority, then we're up for grabs for the next charlatan, political or religious, who comes ambling along."

I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.

That famous Gramsci quote: "The old world is dying and the new world struggles to be born. Now is the time of monsters, monsters with absolute dumptruck asses, vast jiggling Asylum Demon gyats. Monstrously thicc asses not seen in the world for long aeons."

If you want to help disabled people fight New York's proposed mask ban... wear a mask.

If more people would mask up in solidarity, these important accessibility tools would be harder to ban.

Help us normalize masking and protect your health in the process!

Fun facts are so unfair because I’ve done so much cool stuff and every time I’m asked about it I forget one of those achievements and remember an embarrassing new detail.

Never forget that in 1861 Charles Darwin wrote in a letter to a friend…

“But I am very poorly today and very stupid and hate everybody and everything"

…because this is my favorite reminder that we can do great things even if we don't always have great days

I tried to find the store number on their site and it wasn’t easy so I tried the chat bot and it couldn’t tell me if I could return all these extra shopping bags, but it was pleased to tell me they follow all the local regulations.

I called the number I had saved for a store but it was a wrong number because one time the guy that works there called me from his personal phone when some systems thing happened months ago.
