I like apples. I post photos. I dig birds. I write books. The next book is THE STAIRCASE IN THE WOODS, April 2025. Yes, I'm cringe. What do you want from me, I'm a 48-year-old dad and my brain is a mouse-eaten shoebox.

And I will add that MAPLECROFT is just brilliant because it’s Lizzie Borden with an ax against Lovecraftian horrors

If Timothee Chalamet wants to make being a reverse-snob part of his deal, whatever. Be a child, you know?

But at a time when arts funding and support are so imperiled, it would be nice not to lead with your contempt for wide swaths of the arts during your campaign to have your own art recognized.

helps quite a bit if I'm being honest

Strongly recommend calling your US senators today to tell them:

1. Publicly call for Sheehy to be expelled from the Senate for assaulting a protestor.

2. DO NOT vote to confirm Mullin for DHS.

Find your senators at reps.fyi

We're at a point where there are no cheap options to retreat to and no price points that guarantee quality. Every run-down studio is $1400, every fast food meal is $17, every luxury condo has peel-n-stick tiles, every $300 pair of boots falls apart. Endless expensive mediocrity.

I planned to share my report on the body cam footage early next week when I learned that a DC news station had obtained some of the footage as a result of my lawsuit and they were going to scoop me. After working on this for a year, I couldn't let that happen. Published 2 mins before they aired :)

Grammarly is using our identities without permission Grammarly’s AI stole my boss’s identity.

There have been some very bad developments today.

DOJ releases Epstein files with accusations against Trump Over the course of four interviews in 2019, a woman told the FBI that Epstein and Trump sexually abused her in the 1980s.

β€œA DOJ source told the Miami Herald that agents found her to be credibleβ€”and that they would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying.”

Don’t let mega-constellation-building billionaires steal your night sky Satellites are wonders of modern technology that have improved all of our lives. But having more than a million of them in orbit could destroy our view of the heavens and seriously damage our planet

Elon Musk has already started plans to launch a million satellites.

Yes. A MILLION.

This is a colossally bad idea, and it's not too late to make your voice heard. I explain everything:

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

I had a dentist use X-rays to show me seven cavities. I got a second opinion and they were like β€œno, none of those are cavities.” The first dentist was a reputable dentist with a shiny high-tech office. And was clearly scamming me.

I maintain that simply arresting Elon musk and making a real example of him is the quickest way to global stability

(the voice inside trump's dwindling mind) People keep talking about high prices, that must be what they want. I'll give them high prices like nobody's ever seen before, the absolute greatest high prices!

Judging from the prose, the Pentagon appears to be using AI to announce the death of soldiers. If it’s not AI, it’s a person who simply does not care.

god's got nothing to do with it... just the work of some petty deranged mostly-men with god complexes, too much ketamine, & VC capitol? But yes.

(this hits different when you're listening to @chuckwendig.bsky.social's Wayward, lol...

no more Black Swan spoilers for at least the next 8 hours, plz)

brianmcginnisnc
Brian McGinnis' wife has
NOT been allowed to see him in the hospital.
He is currently awaiting surgery for severe injuries.
Legal counsel has also been denied access.
A Marine veteran.
A firefighter.
A father of four.
And his family still cannot see him.

brianmcginnisnc Brian McGinnis' wife has NOT been allowed to see him in the hospital. He is currently awaiting surgery for severe injuries. Legal counsel has also been denied access. A Marine veteran. A firefighter. A father of four. And his family still cannot see him.

so apparently Brian McGinnis has been denied access to both his family and legal representation since a sitting senator broke his arm

These are the 4 things AI can do well:

β€’Clean up your email inbox (badly)
β€’Give my shittiest neighbor (Alan) something to talk about at a party
β€’Tell a 12 yr old to kill himself
β€’Incinerate a school at 10:16 AM on a Tuesday

You can see why we need to base our economy around it

Killing people is entertainment to the sociopaths in the White House. Decency demands that we resist this.

either they’re actually so wildly incompetent they genuinely never thought about defense against Iranian Shaheds or (more likely) Hegseth et al are lying about why they’re screwing this particular operation up so bad.

Neither option is good

In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.
