Goodnight, friends.

I had a splendid evening with kids and grandkids. Even better, they'll be here when I wake up tomorrow.

I love you.

I intensely dislike Mitch Daniels, but kudos to him on this blistering editorial.

A Long Game From bestselling and award-winning author and professor Elizabeth McCracken comes an irresistible look at the art of writing. Writing can feel like an endle...

I try not to know the sales numbers of my own books or others, but it appears that my book on writing has this week outsold Olivia Nuzzi's book on activities that she enjoys (including, I presume, writing). Not vastly outsold, so I have included a link.

I am really excited for this book and for my story to find its way out into the world! 🧛🏽‍♂️🧛🏻🧟‍♂️🧟

That might work. 😻

Just FYI this movie is being distributed by Angel Studios, which distrbutes fundamentalist Christian and right-wing content.

I think that would be even less popular. 😸

I had forgotten about that!

For the record, these are not bad sales, they are beyond horrendous. A debut science fiction author with a social media following of 3 people would be expected to do way better than this. This is the literary equivalent of a quarterback getting the ball and immediately scoring against his own team

A photo from the NYT: Hosts should consider how a foam-based tower will look as the night goes on. “Once people start pulling them off the foam, you are seeing, you know, the undercarriage,” Ms. Sherman said.Credit...Marissa Alper for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Barrett Washburne (shrimp tree).

Finally, a shrimp tree: shrimp stuck on kale leaves stuck on foam.

A photo from the NYT: "As party towers grow, some looming structures — like this shrimp tower Ms. Sherman’s studio constructed for a Bon Appétit magazine party — must rely on dry ice to keep things cool and fresh.Credit...Liz Barclay"

A phallic and festive shrimp tower.

From a NYT article: "For the cookbook author Alison Roman’s holiday party last year, Lilli Sherman, the founder of the events studio Oma Loves Fun, constructed a tree of Hawaiian rolls to pair with a ham centerpiece. “What is the garnish or accouterment that can have a life of its own?” she said.Credit...Lilli Sherman"

What is wrong with us? A series of food centerpieces from the NYT.

The US voted with Russia, China and N. Korea against most of the civilized world. This is where we are at.

This is Charles Clyde Ebbets, the photographer who took the iconic “Lunch atop a Skyscraper” picture. Look at this fearless, dapper fuck wearing spats, suspenders, and a tie 850 feet above the ground. Absolute legend.

There is no genuine scholarly or historical debate about the birthright citizenship clause. What there is is disingenuous or outright fabricated bullshit by opportunists willing to aid a racist project for the sake of professional expedience.

The cool thing about the Summer of Supergirl is that even if your young ones aren't old enough to see the film, there's a little something special to tide them over in the meantime.

When powerful people bully the press, they’re really trying to silence the public - Poynter What looks like a personal attack is often an intimidation tactic aimed at the entire press and the people it serves

Sooner or later, most journalists will face a moment when someone in power makes them the story, writes Poynter’s senior vice president and ethics chair Kelly McBride.

How should journalists respond to personal attacks from powerful people? Here are some tips: www.poynter.org/ethics-trust...

I think it’s also true that loneliness among women has historically been treated as an individual problem, while loneliness among men is treated as a societal problem. That, in turn, comes from an assumption that women are supposed to earn the company of others while men are entitled to it.

AI Startup Flock Thinks It Can Eliminate All Crime In America With more than 80,000 AI-powered cameras across the U.S., Flock Safety has become one of cops’ go-to surveillance tools. Now CEO Garrett Langley has both police tech giant Axon and Chinese drone maker...

I don't really think it's appropriate for Forbes to call Flock "a startup," implying that it's a smoll bean Andreessen Horowitz VC corp valued at $7.5B billion that is giving cops worldwide the ability to stalk and hunt and surveil us even more than they usually can, in this dick sucking PR piece

I'm staying put even though I will likely miss out on some opportunities.

Goodnight, friends

I'm here laughing in the dark at a 75-year old Burns & Allen radio program. Find something that brings you a smile.

I love you.

I keep thinking about how terrible it is that so many people will be losing their health insurance in January due to costs and cuts. I was rejected from insurance once before the ACA [preexisting conditions]. I was hospitalized that year and it almost bankrupted me. We need universal heathcare ASAP.
