Today in no good deed: Saw a big chunk of metal on a rural highway, which I swerved to miss. Pulled over and ran back to get it out of the road before it caused an accident, and it turns out it had JUST fallen off someone’s car. Burned the ever loving shit out of my fingers.

Exactly sixteen years ago, I arrived in Leicester to begin my doctoral studies. Today, I received my first producer’s credit. Life takes funny turns.

Left home 11 hours ago, flew 500 miles, now sitting in an airport 15 miles from my front door because it was $4,000 cheaper to fly from LaGuardia to DC to JFK to Edinburgh than just taking the JFK to Edinburgh flight by itself. #WeLiveInHell

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Bros making this ELECTION about due process because they are misogynist pieces of shit. Platner deserves due process. That's the LAW. Politics is not the law. Fuck off, sexist brosplainers.

A poem for World Bee Day.

The Last Bee

After the last ee
had uzzed its last uzz,
the irds and the utterflies
did what they could.

ut soon the fields lay are,
few flowers were left,
nature was roken,
and the planet ereft.

Having a grand visit to Cambridge: from lunch in hall at Trinity College with Lord Rees, 15th Astronomer Royal and past President of the Royal Society, to a pint of bitter at the pub with Malcolm, local character and expert blagger, who sells his hand-turned wooden pens in the Saturday market.

Did my 50th heavy bag workout today. Still a rank beginner, but definitely improving. I’ve really enjoyed adding boxing and kickboxing to my fitness routine.

I didn’t watch Trump’s address tonight, but I did just walk by a cat vomiting up part of a mouse on the sidewalk, so I got the gist.

We are going to see an accelerating tide of these admissions and conversions as the coming weeks and months pass. And the job of those of us who have opposed Trump for years is to resist saying "I told you so," or "you knew better," but rather to say "thank you for seeing the light"...
