How it started // How it’s going

It looks like WOI, the ABC affiliate where I grew up watching Love Boat and Happy Days and Mork and Mindy, is a Sinclair station now. Terrible to imagine.

The black licorice I just enjoyed is really sticking to my teeth. Fun for this zoom call.

it's HAPPENING! I've revealed the subject of my next book and it's YES of course, it's a deep dive into #BattlestarGalactica! For that news and a few thoughts on the #BSG convention that just took place, read this! 💚🔥 www.moryan.com/its-official...

Show up an hour early to inspect a balcony and you’re gonna see a lady in a fuzzy bathrobe. Don’t know what else to tell you.

hello to all my colleagues and co-counsel, we have our work cut out for us

Ralph McQuarrie’s concept art for BATTLESTAR GALACTICA is often overshadowed by his legendary work for STAR WARS, but is absolutely deserving of a revisit! 1/2

am sure this absolutely sucked to deal with but this also looks like the cover for a killer circa-2009 indie rock EP

Last year a study of >2.4 million kids born in Sweden looked at Tylenol exposure and autism At first, it seemed like there was a small association. But then they compared siblings where one was exposed in utero and the other wasn’t and found no increased risk jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

In Naperville, IL on Wednesday, ICE surrounded a group of documented workers replacing a residential roof. ICE agents reportedly kicked over the ladders and forced the workers to jump. The episode involved a chase with guns drawn.

Move over ivermectin, 'cause there's gonna be a new grift in town. And it goes straight to the Means siblings as Kennedy's long-time griftwhisperers. Read all about it here buttondown.com/TPGA/archive...

I found this birding book along the side of the road on the Tamiami trail in the Everglades on 8/25/25. It is so well loved with sightings going back decades. If you're a birder (I am not) please spread the word and hep me find the owner so they can be reunited

That’s me in the video. And a Fox News host just celebrated me being assaulted by ICE. If ICE will do this to a congressional candidate with a big platform, just imagine what they’re doing to the people they’re kidnapping.

Every single thing anyone says now starts with “not gonna lie,” or “if I’m gonna be honest…” I was kind of assuming that till you brought it up.

Nuthin’ but wet

I was reliably told celebrating political violence was cause for government reprisal and private sector termination.

I just want to say one word to you. Just one word. Are you listening? Trebuchets. There's a great future in trebuchets. Think about it. Will you think about it?

when I gave Irwin a treat after accidentally kicking him a bit with my foot what I thought i was doing was apologizing what I was actually doing was teaching him the concept of insurance fraud it is only a matter of time before he trips me and I break my neck

It was very telling that for three days, none of the major TV anchors would have me on air one-on-one to talk about my firing from the Washington Post over Charlie Kirk. The first offers were from Black media, independent media, Substackers, and podcasters.

When freedom is under fire you can count on me to ramble and mutter incoherently.

Update. Apparently deer are rapacious bloody-toothed bird-devouring killers.

Had an interesting conversation with someone the other day about venison. They wouldn’t eat it because deer are carnivorous. Could not persuade them otherwise. Raising the question — what animals should deer eat? Birds? Cats? Smaller deer?

SPOILER FOR HANDMAID’S TALE NOVEL: Thinking a lot lately about the importance of the conclusion, where the framing device is revealed. That idea, that Gilead ended, is so much more important than I realized when I first read the book.

One of these rich dudes invested in a food company with all proceeds going to kids in need. The other started Sundance Institute, boosting the lives of countless artists. Hey modern rich dudes, don't be a typical greedy AI crypto-prick, be like these two.

Some news: yesterday was my last at Rolling Stone. For now, I'm going solo, doing all my TV reviewing, recapping, etc., at my newsletter. I hope you'll consider subscribing. Many more details here:

I knew it would be bad, but I actually didn't think the slippery slope would be this slippy or slopy.

I was talking about this with my uncle the other day. I thought Einstein was reclusive for the last few decades of his career and life. He wasn't. He was denouncing racism by teaching & speaking at Black collages and organisations. White people need to know that for his work to be understood

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker has signed an executive order which permits pharmacists and other medical personnel to administer vaccines recommended by state officials, no prior prescription needed. The order also requires insurance companies to cover the vaccines.

Never became as popular as "ET Phone Home" did it

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

@darthbluesky.bsky.social, can we get a thread going of dogs looking really happy to see us? I feel like I’m gonna need that to get up tomorrow.

Conoce tus derechos, Illinois. Mantente seguro e informado.

Know your rights, Illinois. Stay safe and stay informed.

I tell anyone who mentions the shingles vax this: for reasons I don't know and didn't question, my insurance approved the vax for me. I am 39. CVS had no issues administering it. Might be worth a try if you haven't, I didn't expect to be approved.

Trying to schedule a consultation with a specialist and just had a doctor at a major Chicago health system tell me "we have a hold on seeing transgender patients right now" so that's how it's going 🫤🙃

I got my MMR and TDAP boosters earlier this year and recommend you do the same. Also Shingles if you're 50+.

Never thought I'd look at a picture Donald Trump drew and think "this would upset me less if he'd made those breasts a lot bigger"

When you have a hammer, everything looks like nails

WRITING SPRINT COMPLETE! Wow those hours go fast. Hope you got things done.

WRITING SPRINT STARTS NOW! 1 hour of fast and focused work on any task! Go go go!

If it's fast, it's fine? That's the rule for rights violations?

This is part of why I need a WRITING SPRINT. Yes, I have a deadline. But also, heartsick, and need to bury self in work while I process this.
