Is it baseball yet

It’s a proven method! There’s a liquor store nearby that gives out treats and I’ve seen dogs practically drag their people in after them.

I know current standards are working their way down from the sub-basement to the haunted caverns below and people were quite high on that speech, but we can’t afford Carneys anymore.

There it is. A little “Meow revoir!” to close it out, and the job’s practically done.

Once they’ve adjusted the tone or focus nobody will even notice.

I appreciate the ready abundance of washrooms in Fallout 4.

Lil before-bed request to check out my fashion + space opera anthology!! Would be really grateful for folks to back it. We are 8 days away from wrrapping up and have $4k to go.

This just in. The Dodgers offices are full of bees.

Please help little Jamal's family keep him alive through Israel's genocide. Jamal is diabetic, is recovering from burn injuries from IDF attacks, & has a severe chest infection that's giving him breathing trouble. His family needs $200 urgently for his treatment:

Legal status doesn’t matter: if you exceed ICE’s melanin threshold, you get snatched. It is ethnic cleansing. There is no other word for it.

The news has shown you video of these often violent detentions. What you don’t see is what happens to these individuals after.

I’ve had a front row seat.

1.3C of global heating in recent years, extreme weather is already taking lives and destroying livelihoods across the globe. At 3-4C, “the economy and society will cease to function as we know it”, scientists said last week,

Really like the sound of this whole reading holiday situation! Had a similar reaction to Calculation of Volume where I ended the first having enjoyed it but wondering if I really needed to read all 7 or 8, and then the second really pulled me in. Interested to see what the approach is for the next!

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”

There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

Hopping back into the old time machine and wrestling Santander onto the operating table any time last year.

Imagining the equivalent of that ai books article from the other day with someone smugly enthusing over “winning the race” with how many surgeries they’re generating.

“Til the world ends, I’ll be braising.”

Inspiring stuff. May you all find your braising.

They are. I also really like her Wayfarers books, which are maybe not quite as gentle but certainly hopeful.

Having had a few nights of sleep ruined by Queen Demon, I’m starting to think I should read more Martha Wells. Any recommendations from before Murderbot and Rising World?

Telling myself it was definitely ai, partly so I don’t need to come to terms with how much messier my writing apparently is than a skier peeing in the snow.

Excited for this one! And while you’re over there pre-ordering you should really pick up The Years Shall Run Like Rabbits if you haven’t already.

A Day for Gaza Today, The Nation is turning over its website exclusively to stories from Gaza and its people. This is why.

Media coverage of Gaza has plummeted. So today on @thenation.com, we're doing something pretty special: we're only running pieces by people in and from Gaza.

We're calling it "A Day for Gaza." You can find links to all of the incredible pieces here. Please read! www.thenation.com/article/worl...

I thought for sure this was an old quote. He said this statement this morning.

Sidling into the performance review after a truly dismal four years and coyly suggesting that I might think about cracking open the old laptop if only they’ll give me another four.

"What exactly do you expect Carney to do / not do?"

A thread of 50 specific items (with links, and not in any particular order), a large fraction of which are in line with warning signs we pointed out early on and were told to be quiet, wait and see, or trust his 4D chess acumen.

Thinking of everyone who’s been merrily dismissing the “hamas health ministry” statistics during the present genocide, I hope you’re having a terrible day.
