Pinned
Hey! Here, have a pinned thread of my writer stuff.
First, my debut poetry collection came out in June. I'm proud of it. Readers have said it's good, so that's cool. You can get it all the usual places—my favorite is asking an indie bookstore to order it for you via Ingram.

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

Shirley Povich writing in 1962, with the most immaculate burn conceivable of the Redskins awful, vile owner George Preston Marshall, the last NFL owner to insist on an all white roster: "Jim Brown, born ineligible to play for the Redskins, integrated their end zone three times yesterday." RIP WaPo.

It’s just racism. There’s no immigration problem
The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023.
The Cato study provides the first-ever 30-year analysis of the fiscal effects of immigration on government budgets.

If and when my basketball novel gets published and you get to the part about the coach hosting remarkable dinners for the team, that's totally my idea and an original thought and absolutely not lifted straight from Popp lore. Totally. Really. Yep.

Little reminder that I have a 63-page, book-length poem made from an erasure of the novelization of Ang Lee's HULK if any amazing press wants to take a chance on this absolute weirdness...

It brings me no joy to let you all know that Wendell Moore Jr. was cooking at the MC Cruise game on Sunday.
The Pistons will need to include another player or waive a player to make room for the two-for-one.
Jaden Ivey for Kevin Huerter works straight up.
Dario Saric will go into the $14.1 million Dennis Schroder trade exception. They have $8.7 million remaining in it.

Outside of the crack smoker from Romeo, MI (don't let them associate him with Detroit!) i don't know any of those people.
Turning Point USA has announced the performers for their alternative Super Bowl halftime show:
Kid Rock, Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice, and Gabby Barrett

I say this with no snark or sarcasm, but didn't we already know this? I thought this was already one of 10,000 reveals in the Deconstruction of America series we're all filming live these days.
I have spoken with several senior FBI counterintelligence officers who believe that there is a reasonably strong prospect that Tulsi Gabbard is a foreign intelligence asset.
As you read WSJ's piece on the super-secret abuse complaint about Tulsi Gabbard, remember that she tried unsuccessfully to wring counterintelligence function away from FBI last year.

I started drinking coffee late in life, and considering that the first time I ever placed an order at a coffeeshop it was for a hazelnut latte and the barista said "Oh a nutty buddy?" it's amazing I'm still drinking this stuff at all.

Look, I'm really quite cynical, especially about the rich & powerful, but even I didn't predict the Right, conservatives, Republicans, et al. would be actually defending pedophilia by 2026. I admit, this one took me by surprise. That's my fault. That's on me. I gotta up my game.

A week ago I was part of an in-person reading at Road Less Traveled Books, and someone asked what poet we're each reading right now. I'm so enamored with Louise Erdrich's writing that I said this novel and not even a book of poetry.

Is literally everything the Right says projecting? They've been shouting about an elite cabal running the world while it was their little conservative pedophile gang all along?
On August 12, 2017, Heather Heyer was killed by a neo-Nazi in Charlottesville.
On August 17, 2017, Noam Chomsky told the Washington Examiner that antifa was “a gift to the far right”.
In between those dates he met with Jeffrey Epstein in Tuscon.

Look, I want my team to win, but I have to admit watching a dude who's only 13 years younger than me and still in the league and grew up something like 15 miles from where I did jam a put-back for Golden State is pretty cool. Now let's all feel good about that, Al, and go let the Pistons win by 30.
Pistons were up 20, but Warriors just answered with a 10-2 run capped with a 3 and dunk from Horford. Timeout with the Pistons up 90-78
