It has come to my attention that it is very, very suspicious that people showed up to the No Kings protest at the announced start time and left pretty quickly after the announced end time. This warrants investigation.

I've been learning a lot today at the Illinois Library Association. "When education and culture are being degraded, librarians and teachers are the first responders." "The library's role is to be neutral, yes, but also to preserve order amid chaos."

Is it reasonable to expect the President to say something honoring Minnesota House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman? On June 14, she and her husband were assasinated in a planned shooting by an extremist. Ah, but he's had experience he didn't like with another Speaker Emerita, hasn't he.

Four months ago today, respected Minnesota legislator Melissa Hortman was assasinated in a planned shooting by an extremist. October 14 would be better served honoring her death (and her husband, and injured Senator Hortman and wife) instead of a podcaster and professional provocateur.

My wife and I have finished our #memoir about her cancer treatment and my experience as her caregiver. We’re looking for beta readers. It’s a love story. It’s 58,000 words. See the graphic (the first paragraphs of the book) for content warnings. 1/2

TAYLOR SWIFT: Tell me, Socrates, must the player always play, play, play? SOCRATES: Well, that depends on what it is to be a player and what it means to play. Could you be more specific?

My wife had a sweaty, stressful day. I took her into the shower and washed her hair for her. This habit began a few years ago, for a very good reason. I published a #CNF essay about it. www.yourtango.com/love/washing...

October 14 of this year would be a good day to flood our social media with reminders that when Melissa Hortman was murdered, the President didn't order flags at half staff, the FBI Director didn't rush to the scene and Congress didn't declare a day in her honor.

A core element of Liu Cixin's novel Three Body Problem is a surge of anti-scence sentiment. There is a reason for it, it's not just a chance event. Something for us to think about right now.

It seems to me Mamdani's success isn't from the social media presence or the style of his video posts. He's doing well because he's sharing his genuine enthusiasm. It's the message, not the medium.

For @thenation.com, I wrote about the trend of young Democratic candidates attempting to duplicate the aesthetics of the Zohran campaign, without the ideological foundation, economic populism, or authenticity that made it successful. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

In this stirring fantasy, Ayana Gray reimagines Medusa as a fierce heroine given to righteous anger, all of which puts her squarely at odds with the capricious gods. Both empowering and infuriating, it’s a strong take on the classic character.

Reviewers who praise a book as “readable”: exactly how low do you usually set the bar?

My book, The Intimate Edges of Psychotherapy for Complex Trauma: In Tandem, was released. It is a memoir of my journey healing from trauma written with my therapist. I’d considered publishing it anonymously, but I wrote it for a reason. I hope to speak to clinicians about the importance of our work.

While defending the luddite argument in Discord, I stumbled into this IMO succinct explanation for opposing generative AI: At every step in the process, it impoverishes us.

Pharmaceuticals, copper and semiconductor chips have in common years to build and qualify the facility before you can sell product. It's a big investment. Tariffs on importing these products doesn't change the business risk to build capacity here. Tariff changes on a whim make the risk still worse.

A long shot, but I'll give it a whirl - do I know anyone at Princeton University? I'm looking to unearth the story of a rare, historical memoir from a queer writer in my hometown, but the papers are much larger than I anticipated, and the first 300 pages are free to students and faculty

Any theater geeks out there? I’m working on a short story contest submission set in the Golden Age of Spanish theater, and I have a quick question: Who was in charge of directing and staging the plays and what were they called? (I recall reading that the term “director” didn’t exist yet?) Thanks!

All you have to do is encourage women to DECENTER men, and the men start losing their shit, talk about entitlement when you throw a tantrum over not being the center of attention. Men are so emotional.

I continue to believe firmly that we do not name things for politicians until after they are dead. This includes their wives.

When a woman writes a song about a breakup, it's "twenty reasons to squeeze into three verses." When a man writes a song about a breakup, it's "oh, she left me, I'm so alone." One of them seems less aware of what happens outside himself.

I've always wanted to publish a book, but writing about my wife's cancer treatment was never a lifelong dream. - my memoir

Of course I kiss my wife's feet. Last night she needed her calves massaged. There she was, lying face down on the bed so I could work on her, her bare feet right there. So I kissed her toes before working out the issues in her calves. I kiss her feet a lot. But I don't "kiss her feet."

Beshear: "These work requirements really aren't getting people back to work. They are about increasing the paperwork on everybody ... when somebody misses that one box, they are kicked off for six months or more."

The Statue of Liberty was gifted by France to our nation in 1885. This mural was unveiled yesterday in Roubaix, France, a city with a large migrant population. Dutch artist Judith de Leeuw, who painted it, said: "The values the statue once stood for have been lost for many." Shame is upon us.

My story is a series of memories. Not really a memoir. I won’t write about my two children or two grandchildren. They can write their own books. I write mostly about people who are ghosts from my past as well as my own experiences.
