My job is to meet the smartest people on the planet and ask them what they’d like to rethink from the ground up, and also if there’s a good lunch spot nearby that they’d recommend.
My wife is very good at growing plants and I am very good at killing them.
Based on that, one might reasonably expect I’d be excused from gardening duties -but, unfortunately, the ability to kill (unwanted) plants is actually quite useful in the garden.
My current nemesis is English Ivy roots.

My friend and I are starting a Podcast (I KNOW) about sci-fi books, and we want to include some classics of the genre that don't get enough love.
@aptshadow.bsky.social - we're both fans of your work, and would love a recommendation of a classic sci-fi book you think should get more attention!

I’m auditioning a new aphorism:
“If you ever look around and realize no one is in charge, it means you are.”

Is “6-7” a resurgence of the Dada movement?

Yesterday morning I ordered a breakfast burrito and they asked me if I wanted it warmed up.
I can't stop thinking about this.
Are there really people out there eating cold breakfast burritos?

Avi Loeb says 30-40% chance the Atlas Interstellar object is an alien ship.

(FWIW - I interviewed Prof. Loeb once and he’s a very thoughtful, and intelligent guy -but I think he’s probably wrong about the alien stuff. Unfortunately.)

The Press really should be asking Trump the important questions, like:
"What year is it?"
"What day is it?"
"What city are you in right now?"
"Who is the President right now?"
"How many fingers am I holding up?"

Absolute Wonder Woman by @kellythompson.bsky.social is the best comic published by DC now.
Even though it’s set in a universe dominated by Darkseid, the literal god of fascism, it delivers a Diana who is more … delightful? Kind? Patient?
It plays against expectations, and delivers on every level.

I just want to let you all know I was taken up in the Rapture today (which was also a surprise to me!) … but the line for badges was really long, and I had to pee. So I waited, like …. 45 minutes and then gave up and took the slide back down.
Next time!

Hey @stevemartinreally.bsky.social ! This season of Only Murders In The Building is great so far - but unfortunately I have to cancel my Disney+ and Hulu subscription to boycott ABC for caving to fascism.
Can you summarize the rest of the season as a bluegrass song?
