Definitely a human. Certainly not a bear. I'm totally safe. Come closer. #BearWithMe #BearlyHuman

Opinion | Why I’m Suing Grammarly

This is a good article and I'm proud of @juliaangwin.com (whom I have known since college) for suing.

Look, I'm trying to do my part and read more print media, but publishers gotta meet me halfway and not make the print so tiny.

And the environment over on Twitter is kakisocial.

I could eat a lot of pizza but I couldn't eat more than a couple burgers.

This truly is a dilemma.

Reprinting older material should use the same material it was originally printed on.

If they want our votes, they have to give us things. Things we are entitled to because we paid our taxes.

The only things they've actually given us are enemies--and not the ones they think.

You’re a pretty great human, though.

A credit to your species.

But the ones that could have galvanized the people and brought real change? Definitely shot.

Now comes a list of all the heroic people who weren't shot...

That world had real heroes that inspired people.

All of our heroes were shot.

I'd watch it all from the beginning if I could.

Nonfiction works best for me if the writer is also a good storyteller. Malcolm Gladwell is a great storyteller.

But a bunch of interesting facts with a little connective tissue is not a story.

The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg was another good one. Lots of great stories in that one.

I may need to reread Ezra Klein's Why We're Polarized. I feel like I didn't retain much.

Or... maybe I need to find a better book on the subject?

I doubt the subject has even come up on conservative media. They just don't know the truth and want to squash the dems.

I see a full Mignolaverse read-through in my future.

Yeah. Young people think we run the world, but we were never in control.

MAGA's rhetoric of western civilizational emergency is so weird. They look at ICE arresting grandmothers and they see the ancient Greeks defeating the Persians or the Franks stopping the Islamic invaders in 732.

Everyone else sees ICE arresting grandmothers.

Some intelligent writing β€” on the internet!!! β€” in this thread.

It all makes sense if you consider all these idiots care about is making good television. "Good" is debatable but they probably are getting the ratings.

It's nice having other people to think about.

Like when you're browsing the bookshelves and you think, "I wonder if they'd like this...?"

Maybe "acts of service" or "gifts" are my love language?
