I don't want to alarm anyone but there's a spaceship heading straight for Earth

George Washington is spinning in his grave right now, but only because all corpses do that when nobody is looking

OK, who placed Kalshi bets on "Marco Rubio becomes anti-Pope in Miami"? I'm not mad, we just need to talk.

The woodpecker that just landed on the feeder can plainly hear my music playing inside, and doesn’t seem to know what to do about it, and its back-and-forth head movements as it puzzles this out look like it’s dancing.

the realest part of The Metamorphosis is how on top of everything he is still expected to show up at the office somehow

Excited bc today Yaroslav Barsukov will talk w/ my Patreon community! I edited his book, so I am extremely well prepped for this one. =) If you want a writing community that includes plenty of online events and classes, check out my Patreon! www.patreon.com/c/catrambo

Trump must resign.

““Trump must resign” is a clear moral statement, and it puts the onus to respond entirely on the most powerful, most evil person in the country, who refuses to fulfill any of his obligations, including the obligation to remove himself if he refuses to fulfill his oath.

Happy book day to John Chu's THE SUBTLE ART OF FOLDING SPACE!

Come on then, and remove him.

I guess we're just waiting around to see if this demented psychopath kills everyone: defector.com/i-guess-were...

The Artemis II crew proposed naming a moon crater after Commander Reid Wiseman’s late wife Carroll, who lost her life to cancer 😭

"According to the Authors Guild’s most recent income survey, which queried 5,699 book authors in 2023, the median book-related income for traditionally published trade authors was between $15,000 and $18,000." yep. when writers say we do not make very much, believe us.

Can you read English cursive? Ever wanted to volunteer from the comfort of home for a useful cause? Have I got an offer for you... The Newberry Library in Chicago is always in need of transcribers to help decipher historical handwritten documents. If this is you, learn more about it below:

Let’s talk about how this works and why we have older devices. When I started doing cabin integration back in 2017, we actually had a 2020 launch date. We bought the tablets the crew used for Artemis II back then. To not spend as much, we limited our choice to devices that were in the ISS catalog.

I'm struggling to think of a purchase that's given me as much happiness as the bird feeder hanging in my office window.

I can't get the image out of my head of Peter Thiel binge-watching all thousand-odd episodes of One Piece, surrounded by spiral-bound notebooks in which he's taken hundreds of pages of tiny notes, convinced he's come to a religious epiphany, sweating profusely the whole time.

Someone who knows the law here: if it's determined that Trump had no authority to knock down the East Wing, can the next President's DOJ sue him for having done so?

I'm curious: the first time you saw this screen, ever, which way did you go? (After the cave, if you went in the cave)

I'm reading this thread, that's... like, this slow-motion car crash made out of condescension. I don't know why I read it. But my brain suckerpunched me with "Oh, this is smugmogging" and I'm going to go stare into the sun for a while.

If nothing else the 2020s should put paid forever to the idea that rich people are rich because they're smart.

A’s hire A’s; B’s hire C’s.

The TSA is giving directions to the end of the line. ICE is standing in pairs every hundred feet or so, not giving directions, not line-wrangling, mostly on their phones.

I've been wondering if any other product was marketed like LLMs and their "our product will put you out of work and maybe destroy civilization!" bullshit, and I think I have it: LLMs are marketed like hot sauce. "Inferno Juice will burn off your taste buds and destroy your toilet".

If you spot ICE agents at an airport in the coming days, I’m still collecting stories and I want to hear from you. Reach me via Signal at marisakabas.04

Sounds like someone’s running low on ballroom funds and needs to shake down a few more manufacturers.
