No matter what you are going through, try to be kind to people, because you never know what their burdens are. Instead of saying "go fuck yourself" try "how can I help you to go fuck yourself?" Be kind. 🙏

I wrote about Jim Bakker, whose parasocial style of grifter evangelism seemed freakish to mainstream society in the 80s and is now the machinery by which mainstream society operates

The Death and Afterlife of an American Con Man
Jim Bakker’s vision of the future came to pass. Just not in the way the disgraced televangelist imagined.

20 years ago I took these Polaroids of John Hodgman and Jonathan Coulton at a stop on the promotional tour for Hodgman's first book 'Areas of My Expertise' at the Lincoln Park Borders.
Two Polaroid 600 shots side by side. On the left a young and beardless John Hodgman in a cream-colored suit with a patterned tie and glasses as he signs my copy of his book. On the right, a young and bearded Johnathan Coulton wearing a buckskin shirt and a coonskin cap and glasses. The bit at the time was that JoCo was a feral mountain man Hodgman brought along on tour to sing songs. We all enjoyed this bit.

Took a (very) rainy walk through the Loop tonight. I was absolutely soaked, but my camera stayed dry enough.

Today, I see angry young men online LARPing as Catholics, often for the aesthetic. They celebrate strength and hate the weak. The use slurs against the disabled and fantasize about enacting Crusader violence against their enemies. I wish the Pope would speak directly on this.

The Pope reminds me of a version of Catholicism I knew growing up as a young man attending anti-war and anti-death penalty protests, where I met elderly Catholics who shared their version of faith with me. I learned that Catholicism was about love and mercy for the weak, the condemned, and the poor.

In all seriousness, @jococruise.bsky.social is a truly excellent way for nerds (or anyone else!) to dip a toe into the cruise thing. The the community that's developed over 15 years of the cruise is welcoming and friendly. There are always things to do, officially programmed and otherwise. It's fun!

this attitude is, imo, one of the biggest keys to a happy life no matter who you are, there are going to be people in your life who are more successful than you at things you care deeply about, and sometimes that’s skill and sometimes it’s luck, but if you resent them for it you’ll be miserable

I tell people all the time that I got lucky with my career and it annoys a lot of them. "No, but you're good," they will say, and I will say, yes, I am good, and also here are all these people who write as well as I do but did not get the same break, so being good isn't the issue, being lucky is.
