She was tiny and underweight, but she had the biggest smile. I knelt down to meet her, and she did a somersault into my lap, wagging her tail so fast I couldn't see it. I fell in love with her instantly.

U.S. troops don’t fight wars “in the name of Jesus Christ.” They serve the Constitution. At least, that’s the idea.

Hi friends. I am not great about promoting my own work, so please bear with me while I get through this. This week's It's Storytime With Wil Wheaton is Heathman Ldg, by Brian Evenson. It is available wherever you get your podcasts. If you listen, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

@wilwheaton.net Wow Sir. Thank you. Your interpretation of Chris giving the speech about “maybe I SHOULD be your dad” is jaw on floor emotional. I needed to sit with that for awhile. Such a loving homage to River and yet different to not dishonor his voice but celebrate it. Thanks for this keepsake.

I’ve given this a great deal of thought, trying to come up with the perfect joke for this moment, and this is what I have so far - POPE LEO: our religion teaches that this war is bad VANCE: wow, who died and made YOU head of the Catholic Church?? POPE LEO: well, you should know, you were there

This was me, all day yesterday. Even though I knew that shitler would TACO, all the memories of my physically abusive father and emotionally abusive mother came flooding back. I was on the edge of dysregulation all day. I imagine I'm not the only one who is tired today as a result. I see you.

ICE loves hurting and killing women.

Good morning to all my fellow punk and ska nerds. I just came across your new favorite two tone band, Harry Katz and the Pistachios. If you love The Specials, Selecter, Rancid, boy do I have something wonderful for you! open.spotify.com/artist/3vGAD...

"I don't want to do this, but you made me." - every abuser, ever. We fucking told you so.

I realized two things yesterday. 1. For years, I didn't care at all about anything associated with rockets and going to space. 2. That's not right. I had just gotten sick to death of shitty billionaires and their performative expressions of wealth. I never stopped loving NASA and its mission.

My fellow LEGO and Star Trek nerds may enjoy this MOC as much as I do. rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-256...

Ethnic cleansing secret police at home, genocidal wars of aggressions abroad, but hey let's not lose sight of the real issue: marginal tax rates.

During the anti-ICE school walkouts in January, a group of students in Chandler were targeted by an armed agitator. Turns out it was Phoenix PD Sergeant Dusten Mullen. He admitted his plan was to try to get purposely assaulted so the teenager protesters would all get arrested (it didn’t work).

This is why I have one of these taped to my monitor.

In a very real way, the President of the United States should be held to the highest standard of conduct in the whole country. Somehow, he’s held to a lower (nonexistent) standard of conduct than literally everyone else. It’s unfathomable.

Happy First Contact Day!

Revenge is a dish best (soft) served cold.

absolutely cannot get this image out of my head. i should be working on my book

HEADLINE OF THE DAY: 😆 #BuhBYE

Last week, my narration of The Body was released, just in time to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Stand By Me. Today, we got a lovely mention and review in Kirkus, and I'm just so proud of what we did. This project is deeply personal and special to me, and I love that it's getting noticed.

He is gonna crash out so hard today, if he hasn't already. ...maybe it will happen today.

Nostalgia at its purest. @wilwheaton.net

What a wonderful conversation (and a stellar reading!). @thekingcast.bsky.social @brezwrites.bsky.social @ericvespe.bsky.social @wilwheaton.net podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

It's really weird, and a complete abdication of journalistic responsibility, that the major outlets just keep ignoring or normalizing that the president of the united states is so feeble and sick, he can't stay awake for publicly broadcast cabinet meetings. newrepublic.com/post/208134/...

There's a lot happening in my world right now, joy and sorrow, and I don't have the spoons to write about it. But I'm having a Stand By Me moment that I wanted to share with you before it passes.

If Congress and DOJ don't subpoena the company for the name, it is because they think the person who made the insider trades was Trump himself.

There was ONE ATC in the tower at LGA during last night's crash. ONE ATC, at LGA!, dealing w ALL air and ground traffic, including a plane filling w a strange smell and no gate to return to. The Pentagon wants $200B for a vanity war, but our ATC towers are empty. Budgets are moral documents.

NEW: For the first time, ProPublica has been able to quantify how many U.S. citizen children have been directly affected by Trump’s immigration crackdown: more than 11,000 kids had a parent detained — and that’s an undercount. 1/ 🧵 www.propublica.org/article/trum...

This is Stanley. He just helped solve a 160-year-old murder by digging up a bottle of poison in his backyard. Just two doors down in 1865, Mary Ann Ashford poisoned her husband's tea to be with her younger lover. Since his discovery, Stanley has stopped digging. 15/10

Wild that we allow nine random lawyers in a nation of 325,000,000 to set national policy by just making up whatever facts they want to fit their ideological priors. And we have not bothered to really think about how to stop them from doing that.

Zooming out, it’s clear that Epstein was the head of a major criminal enterprise. Sex trafficking, money laundering, probably drugs. Trump, Bondi and Blanche want to shut down all investigation and keep it quiet.

I posted the first drawing that said ‘maybe it will happen today’ on it a year ago. Seems longer.

The level of absolute gutter anti-semitism that people are happy to accept now as long as the word Israel is thrown in there somewhere is fucking nauseating. And meanwhile the big Jewish orgs are busy hanging out with Nazis. And American Jews are caught in the middle and it fucking sucks so bad

Hi friends. I'm reposting this for anyone who missed it yesterday.

Don’t stop talking about the Epstein files. Don’t stop talking about the Epstein files. Don’t stop talking about the Epstein files. Don’t stop talking about the Epstein files. Don’t stop talking about the Epstein files. Don’t stop talking about the Epstein files. Don’t stop.

Today, I was out for a minute and saw this little art installation on a telephone pole. It was weathered quite a bit; it's been here for awhile. And it was beautiful to me.

Hello Gaius my old friend

what’s extra terrifying right now is the knowledge that there’s just no backstop at all we are locked in a box with a madman for another three years and there’s absolutely nothing that he can do to make his own party take the keys away and so the madness continues it doesn’t feel sustainable, but…

From an international perspective, America is a rogue state now, right? America doesn't respect international law, doesn't honor treaties, is murdering civilians all over the world without care or consequence. At what point does the rest of the world say ENOUGH?
