Hello. This is happening this Thursday and Friday. It’s a good time. More importantly, it’s really helpful. At least according to all the people who’ve taken it in the past. If taking about your work fills you with bad feelings… what if it DIDN’T? Takes some work, but it’s worth it.

Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

Time lapse of what the Chicago River does in weather like this. 🥶

Weeeee! MICE is here, MICE is here! This weekend Dec, 6+7 (cough). At Boston University Fuller Building. I hope you will come by and say hello. Table 83B! And if you are there on Saturday I'm taking part in the Carousel Comics Performance event. 1pm.

Every moment when I wonder “what will it take?” I have to remind myself “the limit does not exist.”

This is so gross. Anyone who has lived in Minnesota (Minneapolis/St. Paul specifically) will tell you that the Somali population there is among the kindest and hardest-working people you'll ever meet.

There are 75,977 people born in Somalia who are now citizens of the United States, including those specific people. He is talking about US citizens. He is talking about *us*. The truth is that none of us are garbage, and the job of the US president is to represent all of us. We, the people.

Some People Can’t See Mental Images. The Consequences Are Profound. “I do not miss people when they are not there. My children and grandchildren are dear to me, in a muffled way.” [kottke.org]

Except, of course, it’s *not* all he can say. Cassidy could concede publicly that confirming Kennedy was a tragic mistake. He could call for RFK Jr's resignation. He could schedule hearings, haul the secretary to Capitol Hill, and demand the CDC’s public resources reflect the scientific cannon.

An absolutely beautiful piece on life, love, loss, music and just keeping ON. Thank you for sharing this.

That’s right, our powerful audio control utility SoundSource is getting a major upgrade! SoundSource 6 will arrive very, very soon, and we can’t wait for you to try it. Stay tuned for more details and the full release, very soon.

I feel completely incapable of even guessing what is real anymore.

Just so it’s clear, Cook would be in prison if he lived in Saudi Arabia

Here’s who’s attending the Bonesaw Ball.

New: Google has chosen a side in Trump's mass deportation campaign. Google is hosting a CBP facial recognition app to hunt immigrants; no indication Google will remove. At same time Google takes down apps for reporting ICE sightings “Big tech has made their choice” www.404media.co/google-has-c...

NEW: No Kings is this Saturday, and here are my tips for how to mitigate anxiety in large crowds. Feel free to share! youtu.be/nxpkVk9TGgQ?...

Do your mental health a favor and turn this on for today. You really don't want to watch this. It is awful.

We took the paywall down on this one. defector.com/how-the-fuck...

In @theatlantic.com the former First Lady advocating healthy lunches is just like the hhs head being an anti vaccine quack killing people. Stop the planet I want to get off.

Hey, hey, RFK How many kids did you kill today?

Abbe Lowell and I represent CDC Director #SusanMonarez. Contrary to govt statements, Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor yet been fired. She will not resign. We have issued the following statement:

We’re being governed by monsters. Just absolute monsters.

I got the complaint in the horrific OpenAI self harm case the the NY Times reported today This is way way worse even than the NYT article makes it out to be OpenAI absolutely deserves to be run out of business

Spotted yesterday near the Civic Center in San Francisco 👀👀👀👀 “Palantir data-driven genocide for ambitious dictators” Love to see it.

Workers under cover of night removed a rainbow crosswalk outside of the former Pulse nightclub, apparently as part of state and federal transportation officials’ aim to wipe “political banners” from public roadways. www.orlandosentinel.com/2025/08/21/r...

Those mRNA vaccine programs that RFK Jr. is killing because he claims they don't work? The people who invented them got the f***ing Nobel Prize. And they've saved literally millions of lives already. www.pbs.org/newshour/hea...

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

RFK Jr. backs down all the time when he gets push back, so if anyone wants to call, here's the HHS number 1-877-696-6775. I'd also call your senators/reps as well.

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

They literally want people to get used to dying more frequently from preventable causes. Chalk it up to "God's will," let the government off the hook, channel more money to billionaires.

NEW: Bishop Rojas of San Bernardino has dispensed his Diocese from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass due to ongoing ICE raids.

If you turn off your phone and stare at the screen, you can actually see the face of the person locked inside it.

last night the republicans passed a budget to turn america into a nation of roving masked thugs and concentration camps and this is what democrats are doing still on sunday morning news programs instead of telling their interviewers to shut the fuck up and stop changing the subject

Trump Calmly Reminds Nation That Desire The Root Of All Suffering

On being called DEI and why it isn’t the burn they think it is

Nothing threatens them more than our joy. Post your cat photos. Post your dog photos. Post any and all evidence that we are still here. Still capable of joy. Still capable of loving each other. Still looking out for one other. Still loudly ourselves. Unbowed. Let our joy spark a revolution.

Make me wanna holler. Throw up both my hands

The sun was really lighting up the grapefruit on my desk this morning.

RIP Sam Moore
