I’m over the moon to have a story published at @clarkesworldmagazine.com after many years of trying. If you think it is reflective of our current (or future) political situation, well, that’s for you to decide. “Ratlines” is available here: clarkesworldmagazine.com/baldwin_11_25/

This dog does not understand why Strangers keep coming to Her Door. Losing her ever loving mind.

Hard to beat freshly charred shishito peppers

I'm excited to see that there are ZERO category 3 or category 4 tickets available for Kansas City's World Cup matches next summer. Thanks for that, Gianni.

But it’s not even transfer season

One of my favorite fun facts is why the TMNT are named after artists (it’s because the type of turtle they are is a “painted turtle”). I told my nephew about this and he immediately replied that there should be a Bob Ross turtle. So rather than explain the renaissance movement to him, I-

So how big does the donation to the "Presidential Library" need to be? $5k? $10k? A 747?

My local supermarket. $7 a pound for asparagus is obscene.

I could make any of these work. E might be the hardest as I’m the least familiar with it, but I’ve had amazing North African and Ethiopian food. People are dissing A, but you have French cuisine in there, plus I could probably live on Belgian beer alone.

If you're planning a trip to London to watch a Premier League match, check out "The Tourist's Guide to London (Football) Soccer" for tips on tickets, where to have a pint, and where to go for dinner. www.amazon.com/Tourists-Gui... #epl-live #whutot #coys

The Bobiverse books. I don't see my SFF colleagues discuss them much, but they're frequently recommended on Reddit. They're both bubble gum fun and really get the brain juices churning as they progress.

Was rummaging through old articles and found this one of Demetre Daskalakis. Apparently, back in 2013, he went to New York City's gay sex clubs and bathhouses and administered meningitis vaccines and helped beat an outbreak.

One of the things I enjoy about distance running is planning my snack when I get back home. Today it was a BLT with a tomato fresh from my garden.

If Brentford’s kit were solid red rather than striped, that second goal would have stood.

This is now fully live. If you’re thinking of a London trip and considering a football match, give this a look. And if you’re not considering a football match, you probably should be

You’ve heard of the shower beer, but what about the post-run shower Gatorade

My newest project is "The Tourist's Guide to London Football Soccer." It's a distillation of five years of eating, drinking, and spectating at every professional football ground in London, plus Wembley, Tottenham (both stadiums), and Lord's. www.amazon.com/dp/B0FHQ3QQJR

Finally, the doctrine that the highest purpose of a corporate board is to maximize shareholder value flatly contradicts the existence of the corporation as a privilege granted by society in exchange for it benefiting society at large. We need the social contract to explicitly apply to companies.

A lot of long time, moderate Democrats don't care about winning. They care about being "right."

I've had this headline rattling around in my brain since January and I finally wrote it. Been hearing too many people in the startup world buying into the neoractionary nonsense that maybe a little light fascism is good for silicon valley. It's not. It's very, very bad.

#StainedGlassSunday As seen at the Cosmosphere in Hutchinson, KS (last week) “Ad Astra per Aspera” is the Kansas state motto

SO PUMPED to announce we’ll be recording our first live episode at Seattle Worldcon 2025! Author @marthawells.com joins our show to reflect on having #Murderbot adapted by Apple TV into a show. Friday 8/15 4:30-5:30 PM in the Terrace Suite (4F) #worldcon2025 @seattlein2025.org

60 years is an oddly specific number. What changed just before 1965? Oh, right. The Civil Rights Act.

30% tariff on goods from Mexico? Guess I’m having TACOs for dinner.

In my grandfather’s time they knew how to smelt quality copper, unlike that scoundrel Ea-nāṣir!

I was surprised (naive Yank that I am) when I went to The Den and they had multiple pre-match announcements begging the supporters to not do another racism and get the club fined again. Not even Chelsea went to such lengths.

I have to stretch to “acquaintances,” but yes. 100%. It’s also been super exciting to see some of my workshop peers getting award nominations in recent years.

She’s 50% tongue by volume

I went in 2018 and loved it. Still stay in touch with my cohort. I was also not accepted on my first application. If you didn’t get in, don’t give up. 🪼🪼🪼

@wiswell.bsky.social I was canceling an Audible trial today, and the customer service rep dropped this on me:

I'm getting real tired of seeing 6-3 scorelines

On Saturday morning, the most upvoted reddit post re: the flight tracking was saying the bombs would land between 6:00 PM and 11:00 PM EST. They landed at 7:10 PM EST. Great decoy, team.

I don’t know why people keep questioning this statistic. It makes perfect sense if you include “hurt my feelings” in your definition of assault.

David R. Hagen just solved a small mystery that I mentioned 13 years ago in the mouseover text of a comic drhagen.com/blog/the-mis...

Mine taught me how to cook and how to do laundry. I am the best in the house at both. It is a blessing and a curse.

Where’s the Adama quote? Right here: There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state. The other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people

If they had done this on, say, the 4th of July, then sure. Makes sense. But today? On the wannabe dictator’s birthday? We will remember.

There were more people out in the Kansas suburbs

Omg

No Kings Protest in Overland Park, KS. 500+. No violence. An abundance of support. A few drove by and showed their views against us, including the 2 little kids and their grown up. Great role model, Dude. Do we still call it the Hawaiian Good Luck wave? I yelled that we were here for them too.

Protesting in Overland Park, Kansas!

500+ people out to protest in Overland Park, KS today at 119th and Metcalf. People lined the streets in all directions around the intersection.

Hold up, do I have an Atlas joke for you
