BREAKING: The White House lashed out at the creators of this ad for "fear-mongering". It must have really struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists. You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE! #MAGAKidnappers

1992 - Sold a SyQuest drive to Michael Crichton over the phone. In the comments section on the invoice, I put "Error 601" A few days later, he called back and said, "Error 601! That was funny." and hung up. That was the error code when the simulation computer crashed in The Andromeda Strain.

Friend was joking about me dragging my kids to hypothetical boring summer vacation destinations like "the linen museum." Little does he know that a) there's an actual linen museum in Northern Ireland, b) I've been there, and c) it's really good but the Scottish jute museum is even better

"I never have been in despair about the world. I’ve been enraged by it. I don’t think I’m in despair. I can’t afford despair. I can’t tell my nephew, my niece. You can’t tell the children there’s no hope." -James Baldwin
