I live in Texas with a novelist and our dogs. I design spacecraft to bring anyone to space. I used to write and podcast about video games.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.
We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

It's not speculation to observe that Putin will take this appeasement and then invade again. He already did it after taking Crimea in 2014. What have we learned from all this carnage? Next time: NATO
Russia has gained less than 1 percent of Ukrainian territory this year.
But President Putin said Russia is ready to keep fighting if Kyiv refuses to discuss a draft peace plan that demands deep military cuts and the ceding of territory Russia hasn’t yet taken.

Russia’s tiny advances in 2025 sold Putin on inevitable victory in Ukraine
Grinding progress for Russia on the battlefield this year has resulted in thousands of casualties but enough progress for Putin to refuse any compromises in diplomacy.

One of my favorite editor facts is knowing that my beloved Samuel Clemens would not have been Literary Hero Mark Twain without editors, including his wife Olivia, riding very close herd on him. Without editing, his writing tended toward "sprawling mess."
Editing matters!

By the way, it's National Editor Appreciation Day.
Nobody ever reads a great article and thinks, "Dang, that was some tight editing." But editing is a big part of how it got to be great.
So writers, if you've ever worked with a good editor, shout 'em out.

Been trying to finish Hades 2. Like many tasks in this game, it takes longer than you think it will. I'm not a fan of "play though X times to unlock more content". Didn't work for Bravely Default, either.

If we have a kid we are absolutely forbidding Roblox. I know I will inevitably cave on a number of other stupid things all their little friends are doing, but this is a hard line in the sand that no amount of screaming will change.

My knowledge of Thanksgiving is quite limited, as far as I know it’s when Abraham Lincoln, who, having faked his own death, establishes a secret military unit called S.T.E.A.M. You guys then celebrate the victory over the alien invasion that ended in 1776.

I'll remind you. But in the meantime, be thinking about where and when you're going to buy your turkey, and make sure you have room in your refrigerator for defrosting on Sunday.
