Anyone in the SC General Assembly who promotes book bans and erases history must be voted out in 2026. Use your voice and your power to vote in every election.

I saw a thread elsewhere about incredible performance secrets known to the Soviet Union. They were called “anabolic steroids.” You may have heard of them 😂 Gruesome consequences for the athletes. Here are some receipts, courtesy of the East German secret police. academic.oup.com/clinchem/art...

Bandcamp lets us keep 85% of revenue. That is the best rate of anybody out there. Over a period of about 15 years, I have taken home ~$3000. Every album is "pay what you want", so you all rock. If you bought an album for $5 then you gave me more than streaming the whole album ~300 times.

I try not to get into actual sporting results, but the giant schnauzer winning Best In Show is total crap.

Ernie Hudson is low-key one of my favorite actors. Delighted when he appeared in Law & Order as Van Buren’s love interest.

Hi Team! My friend Molly Thomas is an extraordinary musician and is kickstarting her new album. If you are wondering if it is worth getting involved, check out her last record, Honey’s Fury. Soulful indie rock by way of Alabama. It will blow your mind. www.kickstarter.com/projects/mol...

It must be upsetting when your artificially unintelligent plagiarism machine is plagiarized by a more inexpensive artificially unintelligent plagiarism machine. It’s turtles all the way down.

My mom found this and gave it to me at Christmas. It is presently the only diploma I bothered putting on my wall at the office.

Are you a writer? Tired of Microsoft Word / AI nonsense? Check out Scrivener. It has made me WAY more productive. Makes it easy / intuitive to shift scene order. Has templates for novel vs. short story vs. screenplay. (I am just a doctor / author. No financial stake in the company).

Who else thinks that a lot of what they read from writing classmates / workshops is better than a lot of the stuff that actually gets published?

My favorite part about writing fiction is the moment when the characters start writing themselves.

This is your reminder to back up your art electronically to multiple places. Scan / record your work. Future you (and possibly society writ large) will thank you.

This photo was blown into our yard during the Eaton Canyon fire. Anyone from Pasadena/Altadena recognize these people?

I often see the fox in my yard skulking around. He usually looks like he has bed-head, like had a rough night. Yesterday evening, I saw him heading home with a fat squirrel in his mouth. I hope he had a nice dinner for a change.

Philly drivers. Red means fuggin’ STOP. Not FLOOR IT. Not pull around the 3 stopped cars in front of you and RUN THE RED LIGHT THAT HAS BEEN RED FOR AT LEAST 20 SECONDS AND NEARLY KILL THE LADY WITH THE STROLLER. I’ve lived all over the world and have never seen such totally antisocial behavior.

City on the Edge of Forever is peak Star Trek TOS. I like it as much now as I did as a kid.

They are training AI on the same content they asked you to contribute for free because it would be “good exposure.”
