I am dying to play Rue McClanahan on Snatch Game.

I counted eight billboards advertising AI on the way into the City. The billboards on the bridge have kind of always been a harbinger of who the City is choosing to cater to, but this just seems ridiculous.

Just a reminder that when a world leader is good at their job they’re not in the news every day.

We sell disposable cameras at the store and a very nice young person bought one today and said “I’ve never used one of these before!” at which I smiled and imagined the time-lapse decomposition of my body

I…I…what

Don’t let Teslas merge.

Love walking through First Fridays about two cocktails deep and taking everything in.

“I didn’t do it.”—both Bart and O.J. Simpson

The Bureau of Prisons is moving forward with plans to move transgender inmates out of prisons that align with their gender identity and into facilities that align with their assigned sex at birth.

It’s a good day to punch a Nazi.

The man is a billionaire and all he wants to be is a stand-up comedian. He can buy everything except a sense of humor. It is almost a funny movie premise but it’s real and most certainly not funny.

by the way these are literally the exact same dumbass motherfuckers, not like them, the literal exact same fucking guys, saying government is inefficient and you should cancel it to give them all the governments money so they can provide you services instead

hi 👋🏻 seasoned book publicist here 🤓 a small tip for bookstore events 📚 authors hate it when you ask them dumb questions (where do you get your ideas) but they love it when you ask them smart questions (do you write your book hotdog or hamburger style)

My spouse and I don’t track one another’s location but we can see what we’re up to based on our Letterboxd activity.

"With this remote, which I’m holding for now but, of course, can pass back and forth between us, I promise to cue up episodes of Freaks and Geeks only when we are together after we have finished a hearty pasta salad and are ready to sit and digest."

Pretty fuckin spineless of Google to just bend to a fascist will so quickly. Y’all know you’re more powerful than that right? Guess not

What do I dream about? Immediate karmic retribution for all racists.

I know complaining about NYT headlines is old hat, but this is NUTS to me – every word choice glamorizes him as an exciting provocative badass, instead of focusing on the danger and illegality of what’s happening

If you have a Cybertruck, you don’t get to slap on the “I bought this before we knew Elon was crazy” sticker. The hell you did! You bought a tank cause you wanted to and now you’re embarrassed.

I’m a ride or die for @librofm.bsky.social, truly.

It’s a good day to punch a Nazi.

Happy belated to my good pal @leonardcrohn.bsky.social 💛 A whole continent between us but book gossip and Bob Dylan keep us together

We're doing an *emergency* Bookstore and Chocolate Crawl on Saturday Jan. 11. We'll visit Medicine For Nightmares and Adobe, which suffered massive flood damage recently. Then we'll hit East Bay Booksellers, recovering from a fire. Plus Pegasus! Details/RSVP: www.eventbrite.com/e/emergency-...

Sometimes I’m just quietly working and then I belt out Carly Simon’s “Let the River Run” from the Working Girl (1988) soundtrack.

Putting in a request that someone write a 33 1/3 about Beyoncé’s B’Day. @bloomsburybooksuk.bsky.social

Thinking today of Carrie Ann Lucas, a shining light in the world of disability justice who died at 47 from a preventable series of infections because UnitedHealthCare needlessly denied her coverage. www.forbes.com/sites/sarahk...

My friends know what I want to see and what I want to see is Leonard Cohen’s grave covered in snow, like a Leonard Cohen song itself.

I nominated someone for something and they got it! I am being vague because they can’t share yet but I’m glad because they are super deserving and it’s been good news on an otherwise odd day!

A packed house at @booksonthepark.bsky.social for @anitafelicelli.bsky.social's amazing story collection: "How We Know Our Time Travelers" from @wtawpress.bsky.social. In convo w/Nayomi Munaweera and hosted by @karjohnson.bsky.social. HIGHLY recommend this book!

I actually shuddered reading that last sentence.

seriously. "fuck these rich assholes who are trying to make you poor" is historically an extremely easy-to-market line

Humans have made a pretty good case that we do, in fact, enjoy making art and producing it at every level, even when it is difficult or laborious, so not sure what problem the Spines Guys ™️ are solving.

Normalize saying “Joe Rogan? That guy from NewsRadio?”

There's been a rash in people objecting to books about Palestine in our bookstore, so I put up a sign.

You deserve to know that my dogs are very cute.

Thanks Marthine!

Hello, nerds.
