The Hulk smashed the subway entrance closest to my house with some alien creature that came chasing through one of Dr. Strange’s portals. Knocked out the power lines. Phone was dead. The bus would have taken me like two hours at that point and I didn’t have money for a cab.

Techbros have always been eugenicists interested in reinventing the Galton wheel and creating ‘designer babies’, but congrats on framing it like they’re doing the world a favor by seeking eugenicist ‘fixes’ to the AI problem THEY THEMSELVES HAVE CREATED

for those who missed it, here's the reason behind Melania's batshit crazy "press conference." Surprise: Melania is a liar. apple.news/AsZ7RsmlqTB6...

Wrote a piece about Martha and the Vandellas, civil rights, and their place in the history of Black women R&B groups. I also created a YouTube playlist (in the comments) with some of their hits

bringing back shame and social sanction for being a bigoted asshole is good, actually

NEW: Meta co-sponsored a celebration with the Daily Wire for podcaster Isabel Brown, who often foments about Islam and wants to "save the West," which is an interesting, cocktail-party-level look at the company's rightward pivot www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

DOJ demanded voter files from all 50 states. DOJ sued 31 states for refusing their demand. My law firm intervened to protect voters in those cases. DOJ is now 0-5. My firm is 5-0. Lesson: When we fight we win.

Yeah, I'm SO good on deleting Zoom from my rotation lol

BREAKING: “I made a mistake, and I am sincerely sorry,” Philz Coffee CEO said after having ordered Pride flags removed. I say again, the power is with the people! www.advocate.com/news/philz-c...

this is a great example of a business reacting to political/corporate shifts as though they are populist shifts. they did correctly read the signs of a nationwide rollback on LGBTQ rights! they just failed to account for how many people are FUCKING FURIOUS about that and will fight you over it

I was so annoyed about wrong information on the internet that I decided to make a video about how non-trinary neutrinos move and what quantum tunneling is. Andy Weir may be more bestselling than me but I'm more expert lol 🧪⚛️ Buy my book to learn more! 💙📚 www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/746817...

Patriarchy is at the root of all the gender, sexuality, family, and community problems in this society. You can’t point at an orchard planted with evil intent and say “a few bad apples spoil the bunch”. Just like white supremacy wont go away by removing a few Trumps and Elons

Holy shit, I just got my very first royalty payment. After close to 2 years, THE Z WORD has earned out its advance. I'm so thrilled and proud. Thank you to everyone who read, bought, borrowed, reviewed, or recommended my queer zombie apocalypse book. I love you all!
