This was a powerful read. The courage it takes to discuss a suicide attempt and mental health in general is enormous. Not that we, as readers, have any right to personal health information from mainstream authors. But for those who choose to share? It helps folks. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/19/b...

This kid is 15, and so has a moral clarity and uprightness that no adult elected official would or could ever have. There aren't really and never have been two sides of this issue, but if it has to be argued as a binary thing I don't see how anything less than this could seem like the side to be on.

I’ve donated a copy of Ammonite to the @locusmag fundraiser: the true first—first edition, first printing—the mass market paperback with the jellybean spaceship on the cover that was designed to be read once and thrown away. This one survived. I'll sign, personalise, and mail anywhere in the world.

Say it after me: Chat GPT is not a search engine. It does not scan the web for information, it just generates statistically likely sentences. You cannot use it a search engine, or as a substitute for searching. Now. Please never use an LLM for information searches ever again.

So here is a new rule I am going to implement, which is that if you reply to one of my comments (particularly one touching on social issues/politics) with a meme/image with text, and you don't also offer alt text describing the contents of the image, I'll hide your comment. Alt text matters, y'all.

Sinners dropping just 6% in its second weekend merits a much bigger headline than its $48 million opening. It is actual box-office news--news as in "This never happens." Just a giant thing, for Ryan Coogler and for the future of original material.

If you have the means, treat yourself like a beloved friend. Be generous to yourself. Take yourself on adventures. Give yourself little gifts, like a favorite pastry or a favorite meal. Compliment yourself. Make yourself laugh.

Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.

Stop calling it deporting, so MAYBE more Americans will get it. "Deporting" is sending someone back, after due process, to the country they came from, where they arrive a free person. This is human trafficking to a foreign torture prison for the rest of their lives. GET THE LANGUAGE RIGHT.

My dad was tortured by the Gestapo for 4 days and thrown in a concentration camp for being in the Norwegian Resistance. Growing up, he would tell me things he learned in the Resistance. I thought, I'm never going to need this stuff. Here's some of those things #Thread
