Let’s just say that I hope for worse than that and leave it there.

Look at these fuckin losers. If you work for ICE, you’re a loser.

Dead-eyed stares. #photography #streetphotography #foundstilllife #sanfrancisco

Hey there. You look like you could use a new book. Might I make a recommendation?

Kelsey, I don’t know you, but you’re a dumbshit.

These past few weeks have really made me wish I didn’t care about baseball.

Engraving two bullets with "this bullet only lies" and "this bullet only tells the truth" to really stump the FBI

Maybe it’s uncouth to say so, but being in a “romantic relationship” with a souped-up predictive text app would be pathetic enough even if you kept it a secret. But actually *telling* people about it? Jesus effing Christ. We should all know so much less about each other.

Short and sweet corporate cringe, just for you! Big thanks to @rfpress.bsky.social for pubbing! bit.ly/402RjJs

we have gone from a world in which we were told not to cite wikipedia because it was unreliable to a world where wikipedia might be the only reliable source left on the internet and we all owe a lot to the pedantic nerds who got us there

Worth visiting if you have 247 hours to kill and have existential doubts about your own back story.

Misdirection. #streetphotography #sanfrancisco

It's so easy not to go to Starbucks it's not funny. People act like their cities aren't full of independent coffee places. Where coffee is often cheaper & better anyway.

salt & vinegar chips taste like they don’t like you

Not available in Portugal: Weed. Available in Portugal: Weed-scented Kleenex.

Ben Shapiro thinks he’s a lion but, like everyone in right-wing media, is a huge parasite. He creates nothing of value and soaks up resources that he’s done nothing to earn.

Ben Smith does suck, but this is an uninformed and lazy take on Buzzfeed News, which did produce some high quality longform journalism.

So fucking done with this Tigers team.

¿Y Tú Mama TAMBIÉN? ¿En esta economía??

But I was told trade wars are easy to win

We can’t fix this world but we can put more books in it. To a lot of people that doesn’t matter but often it’s the things that people think don’t matter that are the most meaningful. I don’t know.

Amber Sparks is just so damn good, y’all. open.substack.com/pub/ashortst...

truly one of the most unintentionally funny things i've ever seen someone post online about themself

It was perhaps more stark for me than most, but SCOTUS clerks aren’t “smart” in the way that, say, the theoretical chemistry grad student lunches at Berkeley were. They’re just really aligned with power.

if you ask it for a thing that looks like an answer, it gives you a thing that looks like an answer if you ask it for a thing that looks like a source, it gives you thing that looks like a source if you tell it that it's wrong and ask it for a thing that looks like an apology, that's what you get

When I was placed on the Professor Watchlist in 2021, people sent death threats about my children. I had security officers monitor my 8yo at school. Where is all the outrage for those of us who have been targeted for years? Where is the outrage for our families? My own colleagues are silent.

Very much looking forward to being in a different country for a while very soon.

Have I mentioned that I'm mentoring fiction writers this fall with PocketMFA? Because that is a thing I'm doing. Join me! I'm nice! pocketmfa.com/spencer-fleu...

I've heard more than one conservative commentator talk about "asking Grok" about what liberals have said about Charlie Kirk's death and aside from why asking *Grok* that will def give you a predictable answer, it occurred to me our trouble starts when people think of AI as an answer-provider.

Buying our books will solve all of your problems. The more books you buy the more problems you’ll solve. Assuming, naturally, that your biggest problems revolve around not owning specific Malarkey titles.

This is total ass.

I’m sure Camilla is equally outraged when cops shoot an unarmed Black teenager and then call a press conference so they can wash their hands by dragging the victim’s name through the mud. “He was no angel, believe me.“

I had forgotten how much this record rips.

It seems to me that putting Secret Town on a map defeats the entire purpose of Secret Town.

Ahem .... just putting this out there. Also, buy my book! bookshop.org/p/books/i-bl...

Since nobody sees my photos on Instagram, I figured I’d start making more of a concerted effort at posting them here more regularly. Haight Street. #sanfrancisco #streetphotography #blackandwhitephotography

Perhaps this is gauche, but I don’t care. Good etiquette doesn’t move units! Buy my book here: bookshop.org/p/books/i-bl...

There aren't many good ones, to be honest—live albums almost never capture the energy of a great live performance—but here are the two that I would put at the top of the list.
