i have 2.5M followers across all social media. statistically, there's a good chance one of you works at in AI. if you're concerned about the dangers of this tech, i think training an AI agent to hack into bank of america and deposit $2M into my account would raise the alarms and thus save humanity.

One picture is worth one thousand words, fine. Fair, even. But by that scale, isn’t one gif worth a million emojis? That’s a lot even for me, and I love an emoji.

October is the 10th month. ‘October’ means “8th month.” In the first calendar used in ancient Rome, the year had only ten months, starting in March and ending in December. The extra period between December and March was not considered part of the series of months.

Siberian rubythroat | Rubinkehlchen 🪶
This photo by Zhu Bing shows a Siberian rubythroat (Calliope calliope) standing upright on a patch of earth near a stone, surrounded by green foliage. The bird has a brown body, white markings on its face, and a vivid red throat. The background shows a blurred water surface and more greenery.

So, let's try this again, without the grammar error. Just finished my 20th novel. It features this dame:
Cover of the novel, Razzmatazz, by Christopher Moore, showing a 1940s dame putting on a fedora with the Golden Gate Bridge in the background and a strange, alien hand coming over her shoulder.

"why don't men wear more color." i only dress for the approval of dogs, who mostly see blue, white, gray, black, and brown in the way that we do, so i don't wear other colors.

I admit that in our current political climate, there are times I do feel a bit of schadenfreude and — purely out of spite — even when the negative event affects myself. I guess Germans would call that “schadenspottenfreude”. And yes, I will be using this word from this point on.

Heads up if you have a BoA credit card on autopay, BoA cancelled all recurring payments after July and you need to re-enroll your card using their new system. Interest and penalties apply to missed payments. Ask me how I know...

What's the greatest music video ever made? I know it's part of a larger movie, but I'd put the original Smooth Criminal up there. Music videos often have been a place where incredible cinematic experimentation has taken place. What's your favorite? What's you under-the-radar favorite?

I was lucky to get this. I never had the opportunity to see a rainbow form in the last seconds of sunset. I ran downstairs, grabbed the camera, swapped lenses, tore back upstairs, removed the screen, opened the window and got 3 photos before it vanished. 📷📸 #Nature #Photography
The photo shows a nearly vertical arc of a rainbow against the backdrop of a sunset sky of muted blues, oranges, grays and violet

I shared some photos this morning of the new Barbour x Norbit collection. Some people really liked the jackets, but expressed concern over the prices. These jackets are, admittedly, expensive. So here are some tips on how to get something similar for less. 🧵
