So I got to meet Optimus Prime and Megatron last week.
Well apparently I've been dead for the past eleven hours. I totally had no idea, glad to be informed of my passing, I suppose.

Yes, if you speak out against ICE they'll say you're a lunatic who wants to open the floodgates to scary immigrants. The correct response isn't cowering in a corner, it's asking whether people want to be terrorized by armed masked thugs as a part of daily life

#botaday Finishing off the Classics line with this boxed set titled The Ultimate Battle, featuring all-new sculpts for Optimus Prime and Megatron. Prime turns into a flat-nosed truck, and Megatron turns into a tank. Bundled with a DVD. Available in 2006. And that concludes my daily drawing exercise.

Last book I read is a Batman comic so I guess my job is being Batman.
Intermediary from Adrian Tchaikovsky's Shards of Earth series. Who doesn't want crippling psychic trauma from regularly diving into not-the Warp?

The day after I had my picture taken with him, I passed by Sylvester McCoy at Gallifrey One, and asked him how he was doing. He said he was doing well before complimenting my Sixth Doctor costume.

Literally ran into Hillary Clinton as we we both sprinting in opposite directions and almost knocked her over. Many thanks to Madam Secretary for not having her security beat me senseless

Extinction is forever. If we’re to have any hope for the future of nature, we have to learn to grieve. Experience, knowledge, culture, ways of being we can only now touch through tooth and bone, they cannot be replaced.
My @slate.com essay on de-extinction is one of their top stories of the year.

Those Dire Wolves Aren’t an Amazing Scientific Breakthrough. They’re a Disturbing Symbol of Where We’re Heading.
We shouldn’t be celebrating “de-extinction.” We should be focused on the species that are currently in danger.
