Me right now studying for the bar exam but also being a single parent but also having to deal with my bank accounts being hacked earlier this week but also...

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647. open.substack.com/pub/jkbjourn...

Could you IMAGINE high-speed rail across this country? I'd never not be on it. I'd just be bullet-training all over the goddamn place. I'd have my head out the window like a dog and the sheer WIND outside the train would rip my eyebrows off and it'd be worth it.

TIL - that Oregonians studying for the bar exam and thus out of touch with reality should reallllly look up things about Texas political races before having opinions. Whoops! Yay for BS being a place where people nicely tell you that you're wrong.

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland. And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

I understand why prison abolition is controversial but I don’t think you can get away from the fact that the most passionate prison abolitionists work closely with incarcerated people or were incarcerated themselves. The more you know about the logistics of incarceration the more you hate it.

one day there will be documentaries about how people who called themselves intelligent spent years trying to convince others that a guy who couldn't keep a website running without 5 crashes a month was going to relocate everyone to Mars

I am watching Our Universe and the second male lead is one of the actors from my favorite BL, Semantic Error!

Kicking off my new series, "It’s Not Rocket Science." I’m an astronautical engineer, but you don’t need advanced degrees to know the status quo isn’t working. This week: how immigrants really do make America great.

I WILL BE DISCUSSING THE STAR TREK TO RAISE FUNDS FOR MUTUAL AID YOU WANT TO BE THERE, YES YOU DO

At last I can talk about it! I'm writing a Star Trek comic!!!! All I can tell you right now is it takes place several years after the end of Picard. And it stars Captain Raffi Musiker working with a giant positronic brain to protect the Federation from future threats! gizmodo.com/star-trek-id...

The story of the Bible is the story of choosing the marginalized over Empire. Again and again.

“Is there a technology the left is excited about?” High-speed rail! MRNA vaccines! New cancer treatments! Solar and wind energy collection! Better and longer-range EVs! That wood that's harder than steel! New apples! Fibermaxxing! Buldak Swicy ramen! Muppets! Muppets are too a technology, shut up!

This is a beautiful story from last year, that came across my event horizon today. I genuinely love my Star Trek family, and I am so grateful for their truly unconditional love and support. ew.com/wil-wheaton-...

My novel DEATH OF THE AUTHOR is a finalist for an LA Times Book Prize (Science Fiction, Fantasy & Speculative Fiction). I’m in powerful company! Honored. 🥹 Thrilled. 💃🏿 Slightly levitating. 🤖

The drunk uncle theory. You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

The newest episode of Starfleet Academy was rough... I'm going to avoid spoilers, so that limits my comments, but sometimes, the bad guy says some really important things about weighing your options regarding who lives and who dies. #StarfleetAcademy

"Flavor Flav loves the Olympics" is one of my favorite subplots in reality right now.

just used chatgpt to tell me how to circumvent claude's programming so i could use claude to tell me how to hack into grok which i then used to find everyone's credit card details on twitter which i will now collectively use to buy a home

I don’t know who needs to hear this but listening to an audio book absolutely counts as “reading” a book. In fact, I’d argue that listening to an author read their own work aloud is an exceptionally magical and even holy experience. I love it so much. Especially as my eyesight gets worse.

10 yo is listening to olivia rodrigo and 13 yo is listening to the happy fits. neither one is using headphones. both are listening loud enough for it to be heard throughout the condo.

I would like to to wish Bill Pullman a Happy President's Day.

The universe genuinely is bigger than the bad things that are happening to us! So today is a good day to preorder my new book The Edge of Space-Time, which urges readers to see the cosmos through new eyes and in the process learn skills we use to resist authoritarianism. #BookSky

LGBTQ athletes struck gold at the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Games. Breezy Johnson made downhill history, while Amber Glenn helped secure gold for Team USA’s hockey team.

This is a good thread. There is a huge difference between "the court system is still able to provide some positive outcomes in some cases" and "the court system is capable of providing due process and the system is fair."

I wish people understood how much unseen labor goes into every visible ounce of activism and how much labor by so many people towards change is deliberately invisible and never meant to be known

Lolololololol

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Funding national security should mean funding housing, food, and healthcare. For everyone. That's what makes us safe.

A little Valentine's Day treat for you, a throwback to when I made LeVar Burton get teary-eyed over a queer love story with aliens and fractals. 🌈❤️ www.pandora.com/podcast/leva...

As someone with PTSD and AuDHD I wish more people listened when I talk about how helpful meditation is. Also since I have spent a lot of time doing both - I also have strong opinions about how prayer is often a type of meditation.

Facts:

Today is February 15. On this day in 1879, President Rutherford Hayes signed a new law that would admit women as members of the Supreme Court bar & allow them to submit/argue cases. Thank suffragette Belva Lockwood for her efforts in this uphill battle. #Pinks constitutioncenter.org/blog/on-this...

75% done with bar review course! For a long list of reasons the goal isn't actually 100% - the last week will be spent memorizing the rules most likely to be on the test and then doing LOTSA practice essays and a few multiple choice tests.

Unions & citizen-led resistance groups are taking the lead on mutual aid There's likely a group operating near you that needs help "The union is providing mutual aid to members who are sheltering in place - grocery deliveries, transportation and financial support for those who can’t go into work"

I guess if I were to sell out, it would be to become a Costco influencer

My cat likes popcorn. He gets *very* offended if I do not offer him some - will he eat the one I offer? unknown. but it must be offered.

Criminality is so rampant inside CBP that it has seen one of its own agents or officers arrested every 24 to 36 hours since 2005. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/accountabi...
