There it is. If the “books” were making her money, she’d talk about them. The real pitch is this Marriott conference center how-to-invest-in-real-estate bullshit.

Today I'm releasing probably the most important scholarly thing I've ever worked on - a report based on talking with 144 people about why they don't vote or only vote regularly, and on what needs to be done to build a democracy that can include everyone. www.swarthmore.edu/u... please share!

Reddit was very upset about this one

When you are trying to escape the world dumpster fire for a minute by diving into some research — but then the research bites back with “what detestable people there are in ye world” 😂🤦‍♀️ touché history touché

After too many replies I finally figured out what I was trying to say. Everyone knew Vince McMahon and… someone… wrote all the stories for wrestling. But its success depended on the charisma of real people. If Vince McMahon was playing 27 copies of Madden NFL 2028, who would care?

Hey folks -- Signal Boost time for this week's #TheFullLid. If you have a creative project to promote, leave the details in a reply. Include the title and a link please, so folks can find it. For pre-launch crowdfunders let us know about 2 weeks in advance.

My 7yo had to make an acrostic poem for school. He chose the word POEM, and his acrostic was about writing poems. He’s definitely my kid.

There are well over 100,000 of us in this (or a similar) boat. I do not predict that people are going to be satisfied with city leadership crowing about what an extraordinary weather event this was (it wasn’t) to excuse the mass power outages in frigid temperatures that are now heading into day 3.

when you can’t focus on your usual things, do something else. trying to get over the elementary school programming that if I wasn’t good at realism, then I just wasn’t good at art. hard to shake, even decades later. anyhow, here’s the phantom of the fropera

Books read in 2026, a continuing thread.

why can’t I get any work done Is it because I’m worried about - measles - civil war - freezing to death in the coming winter storm - transatlantic imperial conflict - paralyzing confusion over what century I’m in surprise it’s all of the above

AI is inevitable, just buy it and don’t question it, say AI salespeople, months before they plead for more AI sales to prevent death of AI But like Jean mentions, the consumers who should have been pointing this out bought in because they were afraid of missing out on the wallet inspection

May the universe grant me the confidence of my kids’ school picture company, emailing me every day to pitch another sale of the same pictures from October, unstoppable as the sunrise

Pick up the nearest book. Turn to page 42, post the second sentence. … The sound resolves, two iron ship hulls colliding in a frozen sea two centuries ago.

I’ve been doing nothing but solve problems at work today. I’m done with that. I’m only accepting problems that are already solved for the rest of the day. I am closed to unsolved problems.

Finished ABSOLUTION by @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social. A return to Area X, but not a return, because Area X resists returning. An incredible achievement from a powerful storyteller and prose stylist.

r/AskHistorians has a good rundown. tl;dr, no evidence that it's actually a Nazi slogan (as you've noted elsewhere). However, one of the answers includes similar examples from a variety of adventure novels, etc., which I thought might interest you. www.reddit.com/r/AskHistori...

Slightly diminish a band. Godspeed You! Dark Gray Emperor

actually the funniest part was constraining today’s search to “past seven days” and getting a second hit for “the curse of the pharaohs” they actually meant the ancient egyptian rulers and not some know your meme/urban dictionary nonsense i was not hip to

the funniest part of sourcing the latest Facebook copy/paste magic from internet sovereign citizens is tracking the debunking articles’ identical exasperation through time. ten years ago, eighteen months ago, yesterday, each one is identically fed up with this bullshit. only the incantations change.

I’ve been wishing we would attach a lab period to first year writing forever. Would love to see this as part of more writing classes.

Read one book in 2026. It was okay.

couldn't figure out why the amazon window shrank by 1/3 with some searches (have a gift card, don't @ me). disabled my ad blocker to find it's a panel opened up by their dumbass chatbot. before i figured it out, it just looked like their site shrank to the right in a weird CSS malfunction.

don’t try to be funny when you’ve only had blood thinners for breakfast.

the Bluesky iOS app is sluggish to nonresponsive over WiFi (usually reports as NC), fine on cellular (SC). inconsistent on VPN, which does not terminate in either state. an IT problem for me to chase down when I feel like it (never)

BALL x PIT scratches the VAMPIRE SURVIVORS itch I’ve been feeling

ruin two bands by combining them: Mastodonny Osmond Lamb of Godspeed You! Black Emperor

stop quotedunking. it doesn’t work. it spreads the origin around and no one notices how clever you are. if i see a pile of dog shit on the sidewalk, i don’t step in it, track it all over, and take off my shoes to show people how gross it is. i step around it and say watch out, there’s dog shit.

I hope you find joy today, and all the remaining days of the year.

I appreciate that everyone’s lesson from today’s news is not “arm yourself with reasonable skepticism” but “we are all graphologists now, never mind that graphology has been a known pseudoscience for decades”

I still can’t get over the fact that Naomi Klein had to write an entire book about how she wasn’t Naomi Wolf.
