Really fun to talk to @nxthompson.bsky.social about his new book; this was part of our "Outside In" series where we bring in speakers/writers/thinkers/artists to present to Microsoft employees. Here is just a snip of the 30 minutes.

Got my Duck flag flying up here in the shadow of husky stadium. I'll leave my window open while watching the games, so I'll be able to hear the wails and lamentations coming from Husky fans today! #goducks

Just finished Philip Pullman's "The Rose Field" on the R train from brooklyn to mid-town, needed one more stop to get to the end and have no regrets about the extra few blocks to walk in the rain.

nothing like starting the morning getting stuck in a stairwell at the Chase Arena, thanks to the security guard who heard my pounding on the door and let me out. ;) #msignite

@murray.senate.gov can you call for a new senate minority leader?

Coz we need one, the people have no faith in @schumer.senate.gov and we need real leadership to fight for us and not give up the ghost over pinky swears with pathological liars. That ACA won't get a vote in December and you know it.

called both Washington Senators.
So, listen, call Schumer’s office no matter where you live, no matter if you’re registered to vote. Leave a voicemail that says if Senate Dems cave without an ACA premiums fix, you will never vote for or donate to another Senate Democrat as long as he is Leader
Call them:

Schumer (NY)
202 224-6542

Booker (NJ)
202 224-3224

King (ME)
202 224-5344

Hassan (NH)
202 224-3324

Durbin (IL)
202 224-2152

Ossoff (GA)
202 224-3521

Shaheen (NH)
202 224-2841

Gillibrand (NY)
202 224-4451

Masto (NV)
202 224-3542

Warner (VA)
202 224-2023

Fetterman (PA)
