Bob! They just gave that man a fake peace trophy. I know how $$important this tournament is seen as to the region. Important enough that we can ignore a tyrant!?! Standup.

You ARE a writer. And all prayers for you to be compensated for that enough to live into as much writing as you can handle.

Your book just arrived on my porch!!! What a thing!!! 🙏🏻

boy, if Port Townsend could do that...they could wipe out their number one salary line item. ptleader.com/articles/loc...

my partner & I had a debate again, last night, because I call people monsters & she says, no, they are humans doing things for their own reasons, good or bad, but that doesn't make them monsters. But what was the word invented for if not for these once-humans...

I totally bought it because of the cover, and because of the weird title. The book is so much better than either of those things but all together, it's like a trio of triumph. One of the coolest books I've read all year. And I've read more this year than in so very long. Keep going!

Ever feel you wanna scream a bunch of private shit into the ether since you can't say it to anyone else, then you think better of it because of AI, and because it's private shit, & really it's only my own shit perspective which can't by definition be inclusive of others the shit is related to?

Americans have been shittier for a few centuries now. Without end. Constant. Shitty. Bigots and worse.

Hey…I got an idea. Let’s have more racism on television, maybe they can do a follow up to the missing dogs insult from last year…and stoke that fire. There just never seems like enough bigotry and hatred on the news. They are trying to fix that.

uhmmm...this looks rad!

ours is going from $982 a month—which we already couldn't afford—to $3200+. We are married, two independent business owners, 55. No children. Non-smokers or drinkers. Yoga goers. We live in a rural area and if we get a cheaper plan, no practitioners in our area will take it.

not good, @governorferguson.bsky.social You did step up when SNAP was going to go away, all that a real show of concern...even when protecting half or 100% of an insult, is still an insult. The way forward is to not continue to be the second highest state in tax burden to those who aren't you.

As a non-parent who is sympathetic, I wanna see you speaking on the topic of Parenting While Parenting and Writing About (insert answer here). Bravo! for those like you, smart and kind enough to think and care about how our lives, careers, and obsessions intersect with raising new humans.

I think we are at the point where Democrats need to be talking about the Nuremberg Principles far more than indulgent fantasies that Republicans will snap out of it.

last year was definitely a down year and this year was packed with highlights for me, but...as a data story, I like this year's effort and outcome.

There’s been long times I’d rather do than feel. Takes work to not be an asshole.

It’s almost like shitty men expect women will do that for them. Make them less shitty.

you know Holland America Line is a 'Seattle company' sort of...I mean, that's sitting right on a plate and ready for action.

Over the long years, McSweeney's does not miss.

waiting for Give Tell You Throw Up Thursday!

sleepy joe who?

when this guy is in prison I want the guards to say, everyday, when he asks for water or food or safety from others...we've been a little busy, Mike. Don't know nothing about you.

The worst part about the boat strikes - regardless of who ordered what and besides the ultimate tragedy of lives lost - is they’re forever a stain on the professionalism and dignity of the United States military.

They’re an insult to every American who ever sacrificed to do the right thing.

Me too.
