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.

It's difficult at times to hold both "this admin is doing lasting and serious damage to our institutions and the globe" and "this admin is full of the most bafflingly incompetent idiots you've ever seen who fall over themselves like a Vaudeville act constantly."

The duality of man is incredible.

I’m in a district that voted 98% for Harris, do you have any idea what it’s going to be like here. Can you even imagine. I need to start training my liver now.

When it happens, you're probably not even going to learn about it directly before you feel it in the air. You'll just hear car horns and cheering in the streets. You'll feel confused, annoyed. You'll check your phone. Huh, 41 new texts.

if every democrat doesn’t use the “we took freedom of speech away” on every messaging apparatus they have every single day for the next 4 years assume they want to lose

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

If someone trying to hire you says they are “basically series A” you are probably not going to get paid but definitely going to get fucked on shares

And of course I had spent the train trip reading Empire of AI and landed into whatever pitch that was

🎃Cabin in the Woodsey🎃 @norahwoodsey.com · 6h

I walk in and hear “So we’re technically series A”

In this scenario, where I'm a pregnant woman having some kind of medical emergency, I'm supposed to care how much money the hospital makes from treating me? Why? The fuck is he talking about?

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 15h

Mike Johnson: "If you're a young, pregnant American citizen women who shows up in an ER and you get treated and they pay the hospital less for treating you than some illegal rabble rouser who came in from some South American country to do us harm, that is wrong."

Still waiting for a more efficient explanation of everything than "Everyone got brain damage from Covid": the airline executives charging a $155 predatory premium for legroom, the guy deciding to customize his own flight experience, the chain of command aborting the whole flight—busted mind-traffic!

Kashmir Hill @kashhill.bsky.social · 13h

This is absolutely wild. I’m on a cross country flight. We are being diverted midway through to Denver. The reason? Some dude is sitting in the exit row who didn’t pay the $155 fee and he refuses to move back to his seat.

Bringing your notebook to a rap battle because you can't remember your shit lmao. Real haters would've been locked in and would have been practicing in the mirror for weeks. I know this doesn't mean shit but performative hating vs real hating matters in times like these

Can't pick what to get with your free bookshop shipping? THE SHAMSHINE BLIND is a good choice if, for some reason, you're looking for a story about people toppling a theocratic conspiracy to energize you

You made it halfway through the week *and* we still have free shipping? Sounds like the perfect time to treat yourself to a new book and support indie bookstores in the process. 📚
