This next Prism Shores album is going to be something special. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRgf...

That's just another way of saying I need a new aptop.

Besides for the battery my computer keyboard is increasingy unabe to type ""s.

Really loved this!

I think around here we've got some light organization (e.g. same authors together) but most books are just on a shelf.

Really loved this!

No judgement but do litmags actually get people paying for editorial comments?

I'm still out here hustling for my story "Tandem Jump" in the amazing @doesithavepockets.bsky.social. It's about other things but it's also about trying to talk to another person when there's a lot of wind (not easy). www.doesithavepockets.com/fiction/mich...

Check out these people on the boardwalk, getting ready for a fight, gonna see what them racketboys (tennis!!) can do.

Americans are right.

Be honest is everyone still talking about this

We need your helping hands for Issue 10.

I need something good to happen so I can celebrate it.

A couple of my 5th/6th graders (lunchtime problem solving class) got into this puzzle from NACLO...obviously only a puzzle if you don't know Estonian, but how do you say 11:30 in Estonian? www.naclo.cs.cmu.edu/problems2014...

Parenting is such an enormous part of my daily and emotional life (very much including 'negative' emotions), I can already imagine how it's going to wreck me when they're older.

Very weird, over the past few days substack's algorithm started putting this piece in people's feeds. There is now a thriving debate in the comments about the bible involving christians and not about the story. theamericanbystander.substack.com/p/the-most-d...

(Going to start reviewing these) Venomous BORE.

Big thank you to @doesithavepockets.bsky.social for putting my story in the March issue! It's about a guy terrified of jumping out of a plane and his tandem jump instructor who is having some sort of emotional breakdown. Wheeeee! www.doesithavepockets.com/fiction/mich...

Happy Purim! Don't be Haman!

Sharing this after reading the first paragraph, a paragraph which is absolutely worth your time.

This one hurts in a good way, @ezhang77.bsky.social.

This is all I ever wanted to hear.

OK opinion time: in rock music the job of a solo is to say something that you can't say with words, so the best solos are absolutely dependent on a strong lyric.

They've got a residency for K-12 teachers who write. Cool!

Hey read this! www.doesithavepockets.com/fiction/mich...

This computer (bought in 2020) is becoming unusable and it's because the L key is getting stuck (typing that just now took five tries). There's a lesson here about aging or systems or something.

dad i'm just like you although they're in the middle i added these lines last i don't know if they're true www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Nda...

Read Peter Ames Carlin's book about Born To Run, learned about this Thunder Road demo with same lyrics/diff music. www.youtube.com/watch?v=teci...

Chris Scott on just an incredible streak of dropping heaters "My brother and I found a golden record in our grandpa’s field. One of the golden records, the ones that had been sent into deep space on the Voyager probes half a century ago." https://www.havehashad.com/vz2e6

Truly idiotic AI-generated question I saw on my kid's homework tonight: "Is 96 divided by 12 closer to 7 or 9? Explain why." Guys, it's 8.

This is really cool.

Fun conversation tonight with the Pershan kindergartener. “Can I tell you a way to get sick and a way to die? Drowning is the way to die. And drinking gallons of water everyday. I was just thinking about this.”

I'm mostly on facebook for this group where people share pictures of my hometown from the 70s.

Personalized learning has been the dream of edtech for the last idk 100 years, since at least programmed radio instruction. The mistake boosters keep making is thinking the problems are technical and solvable...the bigger issue is that fundamentally most people do not want this.

Been waiting for this day. In 2000, Larry Summers called up @newyorker.com pissed off about a humor piece @schwarz.bsky.social and I wrote which made him out to be a callous, clueless asshole. We were blackballed at TNY, so Larry could achieve ever-greater levels of assholedom unbothered by satire.

Smart teaching idea

Yeah they're right I did love it.

The family is sick. We have been beplagued. We have collectively caught a chill. There is vomit on the floor. We are hunkering down.

So cool to see this go up on the amazing BRUISER today! It's a poem about a couple of kids and their trash dad. bsky.app/profile/did:...

perhaps too on the nose for today but here's my favorite snow poem, also recently reread Piranesi by Susanna Clarke, whose bright and earnest narrator I've always found to invigorate my curiosity and ardor for the world. Just started House of Seven Gables too, which is great so far!

William T. Vollmann, "Red Hands"!

Going to write the first ever prose "novel in verse."

We finally watched STAR WARS with the kids. Main storytelling observation is when in doubt just abruptly switch scenes.

Five years ago...I miss that hat.

I of II - Look: I’m not good at selling shit. The publisher gave me 100 copies of my debut photobook. Still have some left. I've Signed & Numbered them, and will write you a personal note. If you want to own physical books and like art/ photo books, they're good quality... tinyurl.com/JBPhotobook

Great thing about the olympics is either the "good guys" win or my country does, it's win win.
