The first time is tragedy, the second is farce...

Great job, intern

I’m not in Kat’s district, but if I were, she’d have my enthusiastic vote.

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

guess nobody included Hiroshima or Nagasaki in the training sets.

castroesque a word?

just when I thought a dirty martini was the worst idea I'd ever heard...

what fresh (er, pickled?) hell??

my editor assured me once that books are just like the rest of us: later editions tend to put on a little weight as they go...
