We need backstory. A prequel on how Linus was radicalized into his Great Pumpkin beliefs.

Why not micromobility? Not arguing, but I've decided on that term in a piece I'm working on. Mainly about e-bikes, plus everything else.... bikes plus kinda thing...

My favorite would be mine, MI-04. Since I was a teen, it seems Fred Upton had been the moderate Republican in that seat. He decided to retire and vote for Trump's impeachment at the same time, it seemed. Now we have Trump puppet Huizenga.

Ossoff: "I think Pete Hegseth is frankly a deeply unwell person who seems to relish this kind of brutality all the while he's running a department that is falling into chaos. The guy cannot run the military competently and is spending his time with this kind of obscene medieval spectacle."

I don't know how you say it in your state, but here in Michigan, it's "Labatts." Maybe "Labatt's." Rodgers, in his ad, said "Labatt." That's probably how they say it in Florida, if they even have Labatts there.

A scruffy but cute alien copilot, created by the Henson shop. Unfortunately talked like a combo of JarJar Binks and Speedy Gonzales. Was cut from "Attack of the Clones."

I love the "the hat is fine" comments. Our city got rid of old candy cane decorations in the park for the holidays, and got new canes. Slightly different canes. People had meltdowns. I trolled so much, saying "the new canes are FINE." For your own mental health, don't be like Nancy.

I watched it a couple years ago. As an adult I can say there were a few episodes that would’ve traumatized me if I’d watched it as a child. As an adult, seeing Barnabas manipulate women into being his Josette was more creepy.

Wow. I reviewed this for the local paper. Not the best movie about close encounters, but I remember the scenes inside the alien ship as being really… alien.

Oatmeal is a pain when awake. Needing play, stimulation. Messing with stuff to get attention, bad attention. Then, suddenly, he sleeps.

White cat with kinda striped gray splotches, Siamese features sleeps head up, ears back a bit, facing a nearby light.

Same cat, close up, eyes are tight slits.

I have my great great great grandfathers diary in my possession - he drew this in 1845. There were no photos so he drew what he saw. I am sharing Henry T Whinfield’s art for the first time ever to the world. This is a world debut.

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

I believe fraternity hazing and military hazing and sports team hazing where men abuse each other is acclimating them into a broader culture of abuse where they will then believe it is their right to abuse other more vulnerable people. It’s so insidious. And that’s also why I think men defend it

CNN can’t stop complaining this morning about the ban on White House access for 3 news organizations, and while it’s bad, maybe it is not *quite* as bad as the fact that 3,500 local newspapers have folded in the last 20 years. www.poynter.org/business-wor...

Symbols matter. White House isn't a palace. Kennedy Center is for the general public to enjoy. We don't have a triumphal arch in DC because that's imperial. We don't put the president's face on money because it's monarchical. It's about tearing down everything that says we're a democratic republic.

I'm in NYC, because I took a train from Michigan because I wanted to do things like eat a lobster roll and watch the ocean at Coney Island (my first time). I have to get back on the train tomorrow to go back to my real life.

Lobster roll, lots of lobster, and a margarita, on wooden picnic table at Coney Island.

Coney Island beach, seagulls, ferris wheel, blue sky.
