The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

LOL. "Communists." The irony is that production is so much more efficient with a professional crew and producers who are focused and concerned with safety. I mean, good grief. But we can't really accuse the Daily Wire of really thinking any of this through.

I've been arguing with xenomorphs all day who keep saying the Terran biologics are actually robots. We're like "We reproduce! We have DNA!" And they're like "We're not saying you aren't sophisticated, some robots are self-replicating. And you share 25% of your DNA with bananas."

Gramma says weather's coming in, she can feel it in her bones. It me. I'm Gramma.

Oh. So there's something interesting about how AI tech bros look at writing and art-making and everything. In coding, every task can and must be broken down into explicit steps. If you do more complicated things, the code gets more complicated, but it's all discreet and can be quantified. 🧵

Huh. I'm guessing we won't be getting another wet-film photograph of the whole Earth any time soon. Seems like all the cameras on Artemis ii are Nikon digitals. AFAIK there's only the one wet-film image of the whole Earth (coincidentally ALSO of Africa ;-)

By law, Pam Bondi must tell you what the DOW is at if you ask her about Epstein.

I know what it's like to be an astronaut because I too have been fighting with computers all day.

Do I take orders from algae? Yes. yes I do. Do I get ample paid time off and complete medical care for doing so? Also yes. Now, the algae don't actually understand what dental care is, but the medical subatomic replicators do. Still, I can't stand sleeping on level 16 because of the algae dreams.

It's happening. April 16. 6 pm. New York City. The BEAUTY DOESN'T REACH ME book event. City Lore Gallery. We will have books. We might talk about history. And comic books. And death masks. More info at the link: citylore.org/events/beaut...

Very intriguing political philosophy from the “Third Way” think tank: There’s Democrat. There’s Republican. But now there’s a Third Way: Republican.

Pam Bondi has learned her lesson. by Susan Collins

He's goin' to Texas.

Next you're going to tell me that Kamala Harris didn't win because of how much women are hated.

The opposite of Jack Reacher would have to be something like Apprentice Holder and it would be written by Windward Man.

You wrote a novel using AI? Cool. It's like that time I ran a marathon using a Ford Focus.

The President wants a Disney Davy Crockett. CONGRESSMAN DAVY is something else. A musical that uses history to tell a tale about America right now: a polarized landscape with bad electoral losers, naked corruption & a revolutionary legacy hijacked by partisans. congressmandavy.bandzoogle.com 1/2

The algae have issued a variety of orders to the biologics who serve them. Like any religion, we're required to wear special hats and dietary restrictions. We's supposed to be well-hydrated with lots of electrolytes. We have to wear these wrist-bands and walk only in bare feet.

This book is just filled with this kind of thing.

The action of the tongue is reflected in the angle of the tail.

"i have two Microsoft Outlooks, and neither one of those are working." The Astronauts truly representing us all up there.

"To discover new evidence implicates the researcher – and compels us to take up the challenge of bringing it to the public." My essay on the stakes of excavating the story of Ernst Toller's death in my new book, BEAUTY DOESN'T REACH ME - is now at STAGE WRITE. stage-write.ghost.io/powers-we-pr...

As far as democracy goes, Andy Kim's positions are exactly mine. I suspect they're exactly yours too. This part of our system seems to be working.

I hear the war will be over by Christmas.

r/ThePitt is excellent

Nice twist on my favorite meme.

Evil, evil, evil.

The algae in the gravity generator tanks will only speak to Terran biologics--the only reason humans can get any work on alien interstellar transports. I don't actually understand the relationship between the gravity generating parts of the ship and the subspace drives but they say it's important.

My fellow writers might not want to hear this, but AI is a useful tool for certain aspects of the craft, like for instance when you’re engaged in the process of being a talentless shitbag hack who is too lazy to do any fucking writing.

Everyone remember to hide when the astronauts comes back.

Trump didn’t enjoy watching SCOTUS nearly as much as he enjoyed watching underage girls removing their clothes in a dressing room. He found out today that owning the Miss Teen USA pageant is way more satisfying to a pedophile than owning the Supreme Court.

Yes! The judge has ordered to unseal the identities of the DOGE staff at OPM storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Trump on Somali-Americans in Minnesota: "They're low IQ. I can generalize. They're low IQ people. They're bad people." (Note that moments later he claims Indianapolis is in Minnesota)

At Kennedy Space Center astronauts have to take elevators to the top of launch pad towers in order to enter their space capsules before lift off. This is the elevator panel at Pad 39A.

I did an actual spit take when Andrew Scott first appeared on The Comeback. Like, I mean, the cut to him made me go "pththshhdhh" it was so funny. Anyway, if you're wondering if Lisa Kudrow can do wrong, the answer is no. She cannot do wrong.

This headline reads like something out of the Nuremberg Laws. The Trump Administration's disingenuous weaponization of antisemitism doesn't make any of us safer. Handing over a “list of Jews” to the government should raise major alarm bells.

Waffles.
