Making art books is a big commitment—and our poor dining room is a workshop—but I love the meditative process of physically spending time with a book.

I feel like Fox News going away forever would go 50% of the way toward the necessary repair. But yes: co-signing craziness by the media is a decades old problem.

I asked linear algebra how it was doing today—and it said nothing, because it’s just math.

One of the most weirdly unnecessary self-destructs in recent memory. Not sure he’ll go to jail for any of this, but it’s hard to believe any of his businesses survive in their current incarnation or with him at the helm. Then there’s the question of how many actual crimes are being committed…

Is he begging for us to protect immigrants, trans rights, free speech on campus? Or just his wallet?

So great to see tens of thousands at the capitol in St Paul. We are not alone—and we’re not done.

Can we just start calling DOGE “Roko’s Basket List?”

Of all the people to rip off, too. It’s, like: “we 3D printed an organic apple using nothing but Red Dye No. 2!”

Matt Gaetz has two fingers of vodka left in the bottle and three day old underwear on in his kitchen: “Even I wasn’t gonna fuck up this badly.”

When I heard it was a sting, that was my thought—you have to have a recognizably awful pattern of behavior to be caught in a sting.

Remember folks—it’s taken us 300 years to engineer a strainer. It could take even longer to fix some of the rest of this shit.

I gotta confess: “what’s the craziest thing they can do?” has shifted several registers beyond what I ever would have imagined.

He’s gonna feel so awkward later. The rest of them, I’ll give credit, did their damnedest.

I tell you what: they are definitely making a hash of things.

The problem is he’s so distasteful as to be inedible alone.

This is the thing: the Democratic Party is as lost as Trump is evil. It’s, like: “Democrats, there is a vial of Save Democracy in a trunk behind that wall, just pull the torch!” Then you realize they used Wisdom as their dump stat.

Yeah—it’s pretty bonkers when we’re happy only the neighbor next to us and the family two doors down and across the street are Nazis. Can we just have mass screenings of “The Tin Drum?”

The world would be better served if more sci fi and fantasy entertainment ended in the seventh minute or on page nine: “Ooops: everyone’s dead, forever.”

“Space Caligula” is my new favorite… h/t to the crazy geniuses in Josh Marshall’s thread, where Musk was described this way.

More important was the discussion: a LOT of GS employees are vets—as any vet who remembers all the GS folks (including friends who transitioned) would know.
