Such a ridiculously stacked cast

I love it when directors can just sort of casually
call up randos for cameos

Serious question:

Am I just old? (61M)

Or did things actually used to be better?

We’re all being punished because a bunch of unattractive billionaires are mad they can only buy the faux respect of sycophants, and not real cultural influence.

I made a title card for my new book. I guess it's a way to make it feel real.

Even though I've written eight books now, it's still weirdly hard to believe that I could ever finish another one. It seems impossible.

A penny dropped in the wishing well.

The problem is that U2 became so irrelevant after the iTunes debacle that I don't think anyone's actually heard one of their songs (good or bad) in 25+ years...

Though I DID hear Bono on the new L'il Wayne 😢

I was inexplicably obsessed with CS's version of "Happy Talk."

i spent all goddamn day yesterday at the emergency vet with our cat cocoa (she’s fine) but i knew from experience that i was gonna be there all goddamn day, so i acted accordingly and brought a book. the book i brought? one of us by dan chaon, and IT FUCKING RIPS. what a great book. it’s about a pair of orphaned mind-reading killer twins in the 1910s who join a traveling carnival, and that’s all i’m gonna say.

I am pleased to learn that Sam Irby likes my novel

"The circus seemed like a very particular metaphor for American life: the dream of escaping and being special, alongside the pressure to conform and not be a 'freak.'"
