Newsom is doing what almost every Democrat in the country is afraid to do right now and he is going to reap all the rewards if they don’t hurry. As a California voter intimately familiar with Newsom’s actual policy bonafides, I am loudly imploring someone else to do that hurrying.

This is an amazing essay; it puts the "creative" in "creative nonfiction"; the way it riffs on the whole metaphor of "the cloud" is devestatingly great. This was the first submission we ever got from Guam and I'd bet my left hand it won't be the last. Brilliance seeds brilliance, art begets art

Thank you to everyone who gathered today at Capitol to lift up a moral vision for our nation. Programs like Medicaid and SNAP must be protected — because justice, compassion, and care for “the least of these” are not negotiable. 👉🏽 Take action today: www.votervoice.net/JAWM/Campaig...

Two lesbians flirting. They are talking about rocks. One of them is talking about the spiritual properties of crystals. The other is talking about the proper application of different kinds of sharpening stones. They are both too gay to care that they are not having the same conversation.

When I wear my devtools user researcher hat I DON’T ask people if they like a product. Instead, I learn what goals they have for themselves so I can infer why a product might or might not be serving them well.

In high school I wrote an essay about Frankenstein being a story about a search to understand ourselves and then in college I did my humanities thesis on how robots are a search to understand ourselves and these have both been permanently fixed in my brain watching the AGI hysteria

"If the Big 4 does not survive this, it also spells the death knell for most printed sewing patterns like ours, since there will no longer be a printer capable of producing large-scale tissue sheets." I … did not know I should be worried I might not be able to get patterns ever again
