The Speaker does not move up to VP. If there's a VP vacancy, Congress selects a new VP (see: Gerald Ford).

over a year ago, i gave a talk at the xoxo conference about a mural, a mcdonald’s, and a man. (but it was also secretly about life, and legacy, and meaning.)

finally, i’m blogging the full story, with behind-the-scenes details, and a video of the talk.

Wtf is “measured hype?” Do you know what the word hype means?

He said, "The hype is real," not "maybe there is a middle ground."

I understand that Thundercracker is the least of the evil planes--Starscream has the star power, Skywarp has the best color scheme--but he is my evil plane.

It is weird that Hasbro can and will sell Thundercracker back to me until the day I die.

In 2020/2021 I had a bunch of weird skin issues (probably related to the constant flood of stress hormones), my eyelid mites got out of control, and I was prescribed ivermectin. And about a month later all the cranks started talking about it and I was like.... what is happening.

His feet don't have the stickers the original had that I interpreted as piano keys.

Now I can draw and play with Thundercracker all I want.

I tried to make my case that kindergartern was boring, but my mom convinced me to go back by saying that I could go home if I wanted, but I wouldn't be allowed to draw or play with my Transformer.

Probably the most trouble I have ever been in in my life. I think the kindergarten teacher spent the rest of the year thinking I was stupid.
February 11, 2026 at 4:32 AM
On my second or third or fourth day of kindergarten, I was like, "This is boring, I want to go home and draw and play with Thundercracker." I could still see my mom outside, walking home after dropping me off, so I just got up and left.

Alan Grant is more real to me than any of the guys Alan Grant is supposed to be based on.

I know, I'm asking because he was a tenured professor and (in the Lost World novel) a member of a silicon valley thinktank.

I bet Columbo got a camcorder as soon as he heard about them, so he could record hours of his beautiful wife.

There’s no way Fox News pays its male and female anchors the same.
