I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland. Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

I just checked in at the Atlanta airport and the kiosk wanted me to show a "passport or permanent residence card." The airline rep who was helping me said "I don't know why it's doing this it's been doing it all morning."

I said there was a Dr. Manhattan comic in that… and I'm a person of my word.
This is a meme based on the comic "Watchmen" where Dr. Manhattan is shown in three frames narrating is observations from three points in time: "It is 1929. I am watching Republicans crashing the economy.", "It is 2008. I am watching Republicans crashing the economy.", "It is 2025. I am watching Republicans crashing the economy."

There’s an Urdu name for a “Jack of all trades” that translates to “every talent Lord.” A Korean version is “eight direction beauty.” But my favourite name for someone who tries their hand at lots of different things is the Lithuanian Barbė devyndarbė. It means “Barbie nine jobs”

Dorothy B. Porter changed libraries 💜 The Dewey Decimal System used to only have two classifications for Black people: 325 (colonization) & 326 (slavery). Each book by a Black person was put into one of these classifications. A book of poetry? Classified as colonization. Enter Dorothy B. Porter 🧵

Back East for a dearest friend’s memorial. I cried for the first time finishing a draft of the eulogy yesterday. But it was wonderful sorting through her collection of hundreds of Tarot decks, the bespoke art she collected, to showcase her wide-ranging creative loves.

Reminds me of the time at WorldCon when an ASL interpreter completely stole the show from Scalzi by signing the HELL out of a short story filled with weird alien words. Scalzi was laughing too hard to read half the time. ASL interpreters are valuable and amazing and must be protected.

We watched “Scrooged” for the first time. It is a romp of an 80s time capsule, but Carol Kane’s take-no-prisoners Ghost of Christmas Present is timeless and worth the price of admission. Do NOT mess with the Good Neighbors, no matter how sparkly and winsome. Merry Christmas, friends.

The United States has the highest GDP in the world by *ten trillion dollars*. It's not even close. Americans should retire at 60 w/ full pension. We should have free universal healthcare. We should have free PreK-PhD education. This belt-tightening ideology is a neurotoxin limiting our potential.
