I've been helping test drive Chatto since the very early days and it's really excellent. It's come a long way, and it's still a work in progress, but already crazy good.

Some mornings you log into Slack, check a few notifications, and all is well. Some mornings you get the fire hose.

JUST IN: North Carolina's Dem lawmaker Carla Cunningham gave the GOP the decisive vote to pass a law forcing police to comply with ICE. She said "all cultures are not equal." She just lost reelection BIG in the Dem primary to a progressive pastor & activist, Rodney Sadler. 70% to 22%! Context:

Everyone look at this picture where I look like Bilbo talking himself into keeping the ring ...

Even in high school I thought the very clear message of Fight Club was not to let our vapid over-consumptive culture lead you to become a mindless "space monkey" led by the nihilistic dark Id of a depressed loser, for it is a similar path.

when there's nothing left but mouth-to-mouth combat

Message to Charlotte, sans context ...

We have SO MUCH data about this kind of stuff and yet we endlessly have to watch people ignore it in favor of policies that punish, because those people view addiction as a moral failure and it makes them feel superior and gives them sadistic pleasure to harm those they believe deserve it.

Almost like shutting down safe consumption sites and funneling money away from harm reduction and into abstinence grifting makes things less safe and increases harms. This is consistent with decades of data and was completely predictable.

the snail do be having good ideas tho

It's been 4 years since the release of the original Perfect Tides. I wrote down some feelings about it on my blog: meredithgran.com/perfect-tide...

as always

If you were OK with “Substack, the Nazi Bar,” maybe “Substack, a front for the gambling on life and death casino” might convince you.

I hear they're really good at job haunting

Just your regularly scheduled share of this masterpiece by @tomgauld.bsky.social

It is no solace to their victims or those who love and grieve them, but Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu will be remembered as two of the great monsters of the 21st century.

For my entire life, the people protesting US wars have always been ultimately vindicated and that being right is completely forgotten when the next war comes.

As video of the US and Israel's latest atrocities begins to pour in, I cannot recommend disabling autoplay video and gifs strongly enough. Keep what you're exposed to under your control. settings: content and media

I took this picture at the Cité de la Musique's permanent collection. It is not a piece of artwork ... it is, I think, me accidentally taking a picture of the floor as I fished the phone out of my pocket. Yet it's weirdly compelling as a piece of art!

This is such a fucking great album. I forget in between listens just how amazing it is.

There are like six Democratic politicians who remotely have the spine to even call for this. Much less actually accomplish it. I want to believe in change but I'm 48 years old and the last good president of my lifetime was Carter ...

I’ve landed two agents with difficult to market manuscripts by being certain that the books rule. And they do. Every book I’ve ever written is awesome. Lots of books are awesome. Sell your awesome book!

If you think your manuscript is difficult to market right now, don’t note that in your query letter. Why? Well, it’s my job to know the market. More importantly, if you do this, you’re leading with a reason for me to pass. I know this may be uncomfortable for some, but you’ve gotta sell it.

How is it 2026 and .dropboxignore is still not a thing?

I am about to empty the recycle bin on this computer for the first time since I assembled it in August 2021. 74 GB of shit 😅

People are always like what’s something you miss from the past and one of mine is antitrust laws

Halvemaansteeg & Rembrandtplein, Amsterdam in 1979 and today. From car-choked streets with little space for people to a lively car-free area with only trams, pedestrians & bikes permitted. Cafes and outdoor seating dominate the area. A reminder to politicians: design streets for the city you want.

Star Trek is a fantasy world where everyone comes to their senses and willingly cooperates with one another, of course the fans are more trustworthy

Welp, just signed an intent to purchase a 70 sq.m apartment in Boulogne Billancourt. It's gorgeous, perfectly located, and by an extremely large amount the most expensive thing we've ever agreed to buy. 😅

New pieces from the studio. I’m at an inflection point with my current work; there’s a lot going on in my head. I’ve had to make maps of how all the work I’m currently doing fits together, because it feels a jigsaw puzzle with some missing pieces yet to be discovered. 🧵

Every once in a while the entire internet artist scene goes apeshit for a character and I have no idea who it is (Celeste?), but I enjoy the ride nonetheless.

It wouldn't be that hard to go back if people would just be willing to go to more than, like, six total websites.

Seeing some "fuck Kansas" replies/QTs and while I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment behind the statement, I think a better response would be "fuck, we need to help the people of Kansas" If anyone knows a good way to do that, please put it in the comments and I will amplify

"My rep is a Republican, so what's the point of contacting them!" Here's my perspective on this. Thing about how miserable they are making you. OK? Give them some misery back. Yeah, they're probably going to vote the wrong way, but at least you can really annoy them about it. Plus...

I love this country, man. Vive la France. Ce n'est pas parfait, mais ... je l'adore.

"Pay us or accept cookies" nah dude I'm just not gonna go to your website. I will pay you or not based on the quality of your work but I'm not letting you sell me to Meta to determine said quality.

"wow this type of stuff is sick and invasive and makes it basically impossible for women to exist as public figures, better signal-boost it voluntarily on a completely different social network"
