1 in 12 Americans live in California. 1 in 35 Americans live in LA County. LA is America

the second-best time to turn off message previews in notifications is right now.

it’s incredibly obvious how much of the “we have to move right on social issues to win elections” stuff is based not on any empirical evidence but on the personal views of the people pushing it

It's annoying when my brain makes up rules that - do not support my values - do not match with others expectations - do make my life harder

Freakiest Friday: every single man, woman, and child on Earth is possessed by the consciousness of Anna Coleman (Lindsay Lohan). Anna’s body is host to a hive mind of the entire human race.

Lyft driver picked me up from UNC, turned out he was a medicinal chemistry post-doc in a building near mine, until his grant got cut last month. Worked on novel antivirals.

I have done some work in this area

Kindness, living authentically, and a willingness to be silly and whimsical are some primary qualities that make a person deeply sexy, actually.

Once again, I am begging people to read Wild Faith by Talia Lavin. She explains all of this.

Honestly I'm a big advocate for being only a moderate amount of informed, following things outside your ability to help too closely/often will make you feel bad and sap energy without actually helping any of it not happen.

I discovered yesterday, in a mass email sent at 3am, that I will not be receiving the roughly £40,000 that my publisher Unbound/Boundless owes me for pre-order sales of The Paradox Paradox. The payment for five years of work, gone. #unboundless

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

TIL there's left-leaning shooting competitions

You’re not an ally if you only act when it’s convenient. CBS walking back their 50% diversity initiative for their first returnee season since it’s been implemented is the worst thing about this cast #Survivor

No, say it louder. It's absolute bullshit how Across the Spider-Verse made over $300 million in profit, yet neither Marvel nor Sony could be bothered to defray the hospital bills of the man who co-created Miguel O'Hara. Instead they left his wife and family scrambling to afford to live.

Marvel could pay for my healthcare for the rest of my life for a fraction of 1% of profit from Spider-Man Noir, a character whose original comics I edited. For Peter David to die in medical debt, co-creator of Spider-Man 2099 and writer of countless seminal Hulk and X-Factor comics—that's a disgrace

It's interesting, because to some degree if I was fired by them for AI I wouldn't want to go back because it was shown that they were terrible fucking people, but also those jobs might now be _very_ safe from AI

The Venerable Sariputta one day asked the Buddha, "I have seen a bad post. I think I shall quote tweet it with my added commentary." The Buddha chuckled. "You may do so. You may make your own home as unclean as that of the pig sty. But do not complain when the pigs sleep in your bed."

I think vehicles are pretty neat and it would be nice to have one again, but it isn't actually cheaper for me at this point in my life, with how little I actually need one.

Say hey to Marin and her Goth Magik cosplay👀

i cannot express how much indie authors should consider joining itch. the community is growing, the buyers are there and you get income immediately when a book is bought. consider it! setting your books up there is SUPER EASY and tbh really worth it. 📚💙

The credit for X-Men Remastered on the Eisners is wrong. The book collects stories Glenn Greenberg edited 30 years ago, but I'm the sole editor of the book. I'm real happy for the team but crediting "Glenn Greenberg and others" really sucked the joy out of this one. "And others" on my own project 😐
