A big deal and a huge loss. R.I.P. Eva Marie Saint. Great actor who delivered one of the big screen’s best debut performances in cinema history, IMO, which earned her the Best Supporting Actress Oscar. The movie was ON THE WATERFRONT.

I once interviewed Bill Hicks who talked about the pornography of doom. I refuse the pornographers of doom. I refuse to turn the terror of the now into a spectacle, into engagement farming. We can be engines of kindness, connectivity and wonder online, so forgive me for concentrating on that.

U.S. forces are retreating. That's what this means. "Pulled out and returned to their home stations in the U.S. as potential Iranian threats raise base security concerns" is a fancy way of saying the Iranian military has the U.S. military in retreat. This is unbelievably embarrassing.

The Constitution allows it. South Korea has proven it works. If you want to make impeachment viable—and so much else is pointless if you don't—then it can be done by a simple majority adopting a simple rules change: vote on the verdict by secret ballot.

A Democratic Senate Should Adopt Secret Impeachment Ballots on a Priority Basis
Such a change, requiring no constitutional amendment, would free senators to vote their judgment instead of their fears

Happy Banned Books Week! My books have been banned in various places, particularly All the Birds in the Sky and Victories Greater Than Death. A lot of libraries also chose not to order copies of my queer YA books bc they'd just have to remove them again, and they didn't want to waste the money.

Minneapolis activists used encrypted group chats to outmaneuver ICE. Now the feds want to prosecute them.

Photo: Concord, CA-October 3, 2026- Immigration court demonstration.

Community members gathered at the Federal Immigration Court location to raise awareness and support of those that have been wrongfully detained by ICE.  The community also raised voices in opposition to unwarranted military actions as well as other unjust and violent acts by ICE and other federal government agencies.  This event was organized by Indivisible Resisters Contra Costa, a grassroots, nonpartisan group advocating for policies to support immigration reform, campaign finance reform, universal healthcare, racial justice, and to protect our environment.

My dad was born in ‘57 in The Netherlands to WWII survivors & came to Canada at 28. He was very strict about what video games my brother & I could play, one big rule being that we couldn’t play games where we killed humans (i.e. monsters were fair game). He let us play the Castle Wolfenstein games.

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:
Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads: 

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

I’ve seen friends and even fellow professors saying “well, in her original statement” about the Cornell 7 case. But the truth is that Jane Doe called it rape, then Cornell “condensed” the report, and sent it to the district attorney. Why omit the part where she said she was raped while “condensing”?

Statement Written by Police in Cornell Assault Case Omitted Her Claim She Was Raped
Documents obtained by The New York Times show that the campus police at Cornell University sent a condensed statement to a prosecutor, who then declined to bring charges.

The tortuous, botched execution of Christa Pike is truly horrifying. And while it feels unique in some ways, in reality it is also only the latest in a history of botched executions going back years — YEARS — in numerous states. Please know: this is the reality of the death penalty in this country.
