Yup, that’s me. Sitting on the side of a road in New Jersey, smoking weed and single-handedly keeping print media alive.

I accidentally spilled my post-bagel plate over my computer. Calculating the number of sesame seeds currently in the gap between keyboard and screen of my laptop requires advanced mathematics and exponential numbers my history degree did not adequately prepare me for

The main thing in art and entertainment to keep your finger on the pulse of the fans and what they want, their feedback is so important.

When Einstein developed general relativity the closest thing to a practical application that could even be imagined at the time was a slightly more precise description of where to look for the planet Mercury in the sky, and yet now we’d all be literally lost without it. Anyway: fund basic research.

Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia— AOC: Wah wah wah. We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no. What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.

Gonna spend the next two years spamming every elected Dem about the concept of "damnatio memoriae." Chisel his name off every inscription. Build over the various Trump Towers like they're Nero's Golden House. Remove him from physical memory, not to forget but as a sign of disrespect to the man.

New York City has like 3 alleys. There's that one in Chinatown, that one in the LES, and the one near the REI that's near the library. You have seen each of them like seventeen thousand times on various iterations of Law and Order.

Actually, Atlas was condemned to carry the sky on his back. (The image of him with the planet came later.) And that was his punishment for losing a war. This guy should try the internet.

I make enough money writing books and TV and freelance pieces to live semi-comfortably, and I have no guarantee any of those jobs will get me to retirement age. To some extent, this has always been true for my profession; what is new is the idea that there are no real, safe fallback jobs.

Checked in with Clearsky and I've only been put on three lists for my hatred of AI. Gotta get those numbers up, those are rookie numbers. Using AI to write is prime loser shit and anybody who does it should be mercilessly mocked for being a brainless dweeb until their dying day

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

The hungry red panda at the Prospect Park Zoo? Adorable. The HungryPanda delivery app scamming small businesses? Not adorable. So they will be paying $580,000 back. We'll keep pursuing companies that take advantage of New Yorkers, and we'll keep asking if we can pet a red panda just for a second.
