TRUMP: *says something bad in a way that immediately illustrates how shitty he is* A GENIUS MEDIA BOY: no! no! don't pay attention to that! that's just a distraction, for foolish rubes! ELECTED DEMOCRATS: my god he's right! thank you, genius media boy! RUBES: wow elon is finding a lot of waste

Trump is just gonna randomly sign an EO banning traffic lights or something

My amazing wife @emmaquilty.bsky.social surprised me with this incredible, handmade, bespoke, embroidered bookmark to celebrate the release of my new book. Representing the book in textile form carries so much symbolic heft. It's so thoughtful and better than anything I could have imagined!
