Drawing/watercolor by Greg Pak of Garfield staring at us with a deadpan, maybe scornful look, with the text "YOU ARE NOT IMMUNE TO PROPAGANDA" in Impact.

You can tell they wrote this script in 2018.

I siang the weekend working on my novel and it was a SLOG but it was also really good. I found new things that I missed the first time. It made me see other things. It was like a little scavenger hunt.

This is exactly right. Learning to love editing is the hardest part about writing. But it's also one of the most enjoyable once it clicks for you.

Also, these people aren’t just betting on outcomes. They’re actually driving them. The Army wrote about using Polymarket data as an important input to their analysis and decision-making process.

When the good Naomi has a bad Naomi opinion.

The thing about modern media is that it's not all that new.

I'm old enough to remember that The West Wing spent multiple episodes on the "Dover problem".

That New Republic puff piece about him in this month's issue is looking sillier and sillier. The dude sucks.

The way this just made sense!! It extends to the books too.

I know maps are less popular than clickbait, but pls entertain me

🧵 We are watching two escalating conflicts at the same time:

• Pakistan–Afghanistan cross-border fighting
• Israel–Iran strikes, with spillover across the Gulf

These events may converge into a regional displacement crisis.

Sunset. The sky is a deep reddish purple. The horizon is bright yellow. There are dark trees on the foreground.

The thing about the southwest is that skies are just big and insanely beautiful all the time.

A sunset. The sky is a swirling mass of orange clouds against a blue sky. There are purples and peaches and yellow. It's magical.

That sunset though.

I don't think I've had any real reviews for any of my books. It's all a game I suppose.

This times infinity. When you label things that harm people as 'distractions' you're just making it easier to not care.

I know this feels pointless but everyone has to call their congressional reps and say they oppose war with Iran and they oppose Trump illegally starting one without congressional approval — both

I'm intrigued by writers who review their own books on sites like StoryGraph and Goodreads.

Evergreen.

I wish things were more clever.

The problem is that this issue isn't new and hasn't been stopped. I would love to see all of these corporations broken up. Do it with energy companies too.

I really cannot emphasize enough that these people are creeps and weirdos who spend way too much time thinking about kids and genitals.

The Scouts continue to be a terrible organization that you shouldn't support. Go support Girl Scouts instead.

The straights have caught on to Pedro Pascal.

Deeply gross. We're building the worst version of tomorrow.

I would say one of the main right-wing projects of the past twenty years has been gaming every web 2.0 platform into thinking the right-wing is much bigger and more influential than it actually is. And the people who have been most taken in by this effort has been the right wing

This is why Mamdani meets with Trump. If folks don't get that... I don't know how to explain how the world works to you.

Either outcome was bad. Consolidation is bad. We all lose.

An official letter from the Kansas Division of Vehicles dated February 23, 2026, with a redacted recipient address. The letter notifies the recipient that due to the enactment of Senate Bill 244, all Kansas driver's licenses and IDs must reflect the holder's sex at birth. It states that the recipient's current credential will become invalid immediately upon the law's publication on February 26, 2026, with no grace period. The recipient is directed to surrender their current ID to receive a new one matching their sex assigned at birth. The document concludes with instructions on how to appeal the notice if received in error, along with contact information for the department.

Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license.

This is pure cruelty.
