Got some big news. I’ve joined an amazing team at CDPR to work on Project Orion as a writer. I can remember the exact moment in childhood I reached for certain books & issues of Omni magazine off supermarket wire racks & the concept of Cyberpunk changed my life. Still chasing it. With chooms now.🦾

Just finished Random Acts of Senseless Violence by @jwomack.bsky.social It brought me right back to my days growing up in the 80s and 90s just outside of NYC, but everything has gone even more wrong. The story feels crushingly appropriate right now. Highly recommended.

It's weird how everyone in the world knows a Nazi salute when we see it, with the notable exception of journalists and their editors.

I am so sick of this shit. It’s a Sieg Heil. It’s a Nazi salute. Anyone who sees it knows. It’s ridiculous that legal departments presumably won’t let media call it what it is. Bannon made “a provocative gesture that resembled the salute Elon Musk gave at a post-inauguration rally”? Fuck off.

Seriously one thing I think is really underrated about Fury Road is how the villains are a handful of gerontocrats, physically weak oligarchs who have resource hoarded / socially manipulated the young to doing their violent bidding.

My wife Asako @agladsjo.bsky.social directed this terrific new doc about medical students in The Bronx. It airs March 17th on PBS. The trailer just went live today. In our timeline of shrinking opportunities for stories about people of color, this feels like medicine. www.pbs.org/video/traile...

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

If ever I think Donald Trump and the copse of shitmongers surrounding him can't debase my country further or drag the American flag any deeper in the mud, I just wake up and face a new day, as now, with Zelensky parrying a vicious little mob shakedown from what was once the arsenal of democracy.

No offense taken! I do not expect people to know who I am. Online notability is not the same as actual fame (and author notability even less so), and my Bluesky bio talks only of pie. I expect most people follow me here because I post a lot, am occasionally funny, and have pretty cats.

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

By the way, if anyone has the slightest doubt that Donald is full of shit about Canadians getting “the best treatment” and “better care” should their country be annexed by the US, I encourage them to note the relative positions of Canada and the USA on this graph.

If the US blocks access to HRT, ADHD drugs, and SSRIs, I cannot begin to describe to you how much all of the tech sector will screech to a halt. The internet is built and maintained by trans people, people with chronic depression, and the neurodivergent. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Update update: 24 hours in and aside from a sore left arm, easily managed by ibuprofen, no real aches or fatigue. I feel lucky. But even if both vaccines kicked my ass this weekend, it would have been worth it. Get your shots, y'all!

In troubling times, people experiencing high stress or crippling anxiety deal with it in different ways. Some have a therapist, some have a deep breathing exercise & some even have a personal mantra. I have a Mabel.
