I have a book coming out October 1st (tomorrow!) Test Space is the sequel to When the Wave Collapses.

It is a pocket adventure about a teleportation machine, an intern who accidentally triggers it, and an astronaut who tries to go to the moon to escape her feelings.

“Baby in her placenta” is pretty bad for a HHS secretary but it’s arguably worse for a guy with six kids. It’s impossible to not learn this stuff as a dad if you’re even remotely paying attention just once.

An elf owl, (i think), a small brown and grey owl with large golden eyes. The image is a compliation of photos showing the owl making 15 different facial expressions. A1 is pure shock. A2 is disgust. A3 is consideration. A4 is suspicion. A5 is speculative wonder. B1 is murderous rage. B2 is a hateful staredown. B3 is constipation. B4 is post-constipation relief. B5 is checking your liquid eyeliner. C1 is checking your false lashes. C2 is murderous rage again. C3 is a passport photo. C4 is looking at you like you are short. C5 is contempt.

I’m sharing this not because “OooOoo im so smart” but because these people really didnt take a beat to think this through. They were shocked I had any objections at all.

🎃Cabin in the Woodsey🎃 @norahwoodsey.com · 11h

They didnt really know. They just wanted young kids off social media.

I sighed. “This is a privacy and safety nightmare waiting to happen. You have not thought this through.”

I stopped working with them after that.

I sat down with a charity a few years ago who did good work for underprivileged groups. They told me they would soon be lobbying gov for social media age verification.

When they told me, I went totally silent for a few beats.

“Who would handle the verification. How would the documents be stored.”

NEW: Federal judge dismisses Drake's defamation case against Kendrick Lamar storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The issue in this case is whether "Not Like Us" can reasonably be understood to convey as a factual matter that Drake is a pedophile or that he has engaged in sexual relations with minors. In light of the overall context in which the statements in the Recording were made, the Court holds that it cannot.
