who creates the lively art and music scenes if the rent is too high? who makes cultural life? who serves you food or washes your dishes? who creates the fancy little restaurants that draw you to urban living? affordable housing is at the heart of what makes city life worthwhile.

I tweet: "people who see 50% of their monthly paycheck go to rent don't care if a candidate eats with their hands. they want to hear what your candidate is going to do about housing."

John Galt 2025 replies: "Move if the cost of living is too high."

Dante has his own bed but he likes to be close to Kennedy. Also he is very cold and needs sweaters.

KIMMEL: “He’s gunning for our journalists too — they want to pick and choose what the news is… it’s so important to have a free press, and it’s nuts we aren’t paying more attention to it.”

Kimmel: "The President of the United States made it very clear he wants to see me and the hundreds of people who work here fired from our jobs. Our leader celebrates Americans losing their livelihoods because he cannot take a joke."

Newsom: "I fear that we will not have an election in 2028 -- I really mean that in the core of my soul -- unless we wake up to the code red, what's happening in this country, and we wake up soberly to how serious this moment is."

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site

As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

My only piece of writing advice is that if your thing DOESN'T include characters saying things like this, it is bad and you should throw it out

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.

It doesn't have to be this way.

I’m so upset that I lived in Austin for 12 years and just found out about Armadillocon. 😭

Finally started the second Malazan book of the fallen book something like five years after finishing the first one. I forgot how good his writing is. The quality is shockingly good.

After you reboot a Mac you can’t use your fingerprint to unlock it until after you enter your password…shouldn’t it be the other way around?!

I cannot IMAGINE wanting someone else to write the ending for something an author has carefully made and I've loved for years. That's so silly to me.

These people don't like ART. They like BRANDS. They like FANDOM.

I saw this quote this week, and want to share it for anyone else who might need it 💙:

"you'll never feel ready because ready isn't a feeling—it's a decision."
