An aspiring writer asked me “Are you writing a book or are you writing something that will one day become a book?” The distinction hit me like a brick. I don’t think there’s a wrong answer, but your answer says a lot about how the process works for you. I’m Option 2. Just FYI

NYT Headline: As Jack Smith Testifies, a Senator’s Accusation of Perjury Falls Apart

Subhed: A Republican eager to prove the former special counsel was dishonest appeared to instead demonstrate his own confusion over basic facts.

One of the few saving graces of the Trump era is that he chose to champion and surround himself with goddamn morons. Their loyalty is perfectly matched with their lack of intelligence.

What's fun about this whole contretemps and why it's worth watching again is how smirky Schmitt starts out - this is going to be his big moment – and how honest a puzzled Smith comes off, and how sharp Klobuchar was to quickly figure out the basic mistake. And then how pissy Schmitt gets at her.

Also, all the major brands (and most store brands) are selling the same exact cheese. Mostly they all buy from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. Tillamook, on the other hand, is a coalition of small farmers, & has been since the early 1900s! And yes, bigots are garbage.

On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell JVP) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

Create a disaster plan for your cats
One: stay alert. Enable emergency alerts on your phone or other devices.
Two: have a disaster evacuation plan.
Three: create a disaster kit. Keep emergency supplies on hand, including carriers for each cat, food and water, dishes, and medications.
Four: store important documents. Keep up-to-date photos, descriptions, veterinary records, ID tags, and microchip information in an accessible location.
Five: microchip your cats.
Six: identify and prep a backup caregiver.
Seven : make a list of local resources. Include clinics, organizations, disaster shelters, and people you can contact for assistance.

I’m reading More Everything Forever (great book and insight into the delusional weirdos of Silicon Valley) and Yudkowsky is featured a lot. Dude didn’t even finish middle school. He dropped out. And yet somehow a guy who didn’t make the 8th grade is now a “thought“ leader in tech.

Having written a TV show built on "deep dives on one bad rich guy per week" with one version 2008-2012 and another 2021-2025, I'll say that the OG evil rich guys were evil greedy assholes, and the new rich guys are mentally disordered perverts, and so do evil. And not the good kind of perverts.

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, working at a desk. A brain next to her says, "We need to take breaks!"
The second panel zooms in on Sarah's face. She is annoyed. She says, "What if I don't listen to you?"
The third panel shows the brain smiling.
The fourth panel shows the brain reaching towards a lever. The brain says, "I'LL MAKE YOU."
