Horrifying the Brown University shooting and our murderous lack of gun laws combined with a President who regularly dishes out misinformation. God help us!
At 5:44, Trump posted that the Brown University shooting suspect was in custody
8 minutes later at 5:52, Brown University said the “situation remains ongoing. Continue to shelter in place.”

Trump posting lies about the shooting at Brown university is Trump’s dementia on display. It’s time for 25th amendment removal.

As much as I've been a goofy fuck about promoting I Will Kill Your Imaginary Friend for $200, the genuine reception it's getting is incredible. Especially with people totally unfamiliar with my work. Here's an early review thread, starting with the incredible starred feature in Publisher's Weekly.

@scalzi.com has a good kid.
I want to make it clear that there was a time when I was younger where I might have laughed or said something like “maybe!” but I no longer feel the need and especially do not feel the desire to placate men (or anyone) and have started VERY bluntly saying “I’m not having kids” or not replying AT ALL

I can’t recall a single time as U.S. Attorney when I got a “no true bill” from a grand jury. Nearly unheard of. They got two, back-to-back in the same case. Whiff of “vindictiveness,” maybe?

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.
