Wanted a keyhole scarf and realized I should make it purple to continue the rainbow on my jacket. Now that I’ve finished it we’re obviously getting a heat wave.

“In order to shoot off one email per week for a year, ChatGPT would use up 27 liters of water, or about one-and-a-half jugs… that means if one in 10 U.S. residents—16 million people—asked ChatGPT to write an email a week, it’d cost more than 435 million liters of water.”

While it is important to make sure folks understand that attacks on trans folks and their rights are the opening salvo to obliterating the rights of many other groups, it's also important to remember that if these attacks truly began and ended with trans folks alone, that would also NOT BE OKAY.

It is truly wild that it is estimated that more than 20 million people died of Covid and the prevailing vibe is that the world overreacted. That is an astonishing toll! More people died of Covid in the US than in the Civil War. www.pbs.org/newshour/hea...

BP is back online and ready for the new year. I wrote up the Corbin Burnes signing, and while it might not be the most timely, it is the only place you'll find that uses the phrase "generational snake wealth." www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...

Last New Year’s Day I rewatched my favorite pitcher’s best game of the preceding season, and then he was promptly injured in spring training & out for the year. So today out of an abundance of caution I am not only watching no baseball but also watching only TV shows that have already been canceled.

since it is Muppet Christmas Carol time, let us revisit this wonderful interview with Michael Caine, who loves it as much as the rest of us “People say to me, Have you ever sung? I say, Yes, I sang in a movie. They say, Who with? I say, Kermit the Frog.”

Even some of the most educated ppl have NO idea what AI is doing to energy use & the environment. My husband works in EPA permitting of factories & energy facilities, and they are getting SO many requests for permitting data centers. We're gonna AI ourselves into rapid environmental collapse.

Christmas is partly a time of grief for me, ever since the year we lost the whole eldest generation of the family in the last week of December. So I wrote a sad bastard holiday novella for that feeling. And also because chickens. And queer women. #Romancelandia

I haven’t seen anything about the Amazon strikers calling for a boycott, and boycotting without the strikers asking is counterproductive. It seems right now the best way to support is to contribute to the strike fund if you’re able (or share with friends who are able)

Chris Murphy: "I read the headlines about the Liz Cheney criminal referral and almost every single one of them in mainstream media played this straight as if it was a normal function of legislative power, instead of telling the truth, which is that this is made up out of thin air."

There is no joy in taking health insurance coverage away from any of our constituents, including trans children of active duty service members here in Virginia. You can’t support our troops by making it harder for families to afford medically necessary health care prescribed by their doctors.

We don’t talk enough about how normal people flaunting COVID restrictions without consequence accelerated the breakdown of social order that started with the rise of Trump. When there’s no consequences for being an asshole, the worst assholes get to show you who they are.
