As much as I've been a goofy fuck about promoting I Will Kill Your Imaginary Friend for $200, the genuine reception it's getting is incredible. Especially with people totally unfamiliar with my work. Here's an early review thread, starting with the incredible starred feature in Publisher's Weekly.

@scalzi.com has a good kid.
I want to make it clear that there was a time when I was younger where I might have laughed or said something like “maybe!” but I no longer feel the need and especially do not feel the desire to placate men (or anyone) and have started VERY bluntly saying “I’m not having kids” or not replying AT ALL

…and yet, my mind keeps drawing me back to the words of Right Said Fred: “I’m too sexy for my shirt”. Is that, in essence, the problem facing our species: are we just too darned erotic for our blouses?

I can’t recall a single time as U.S. Attorney when I got a “no true bill” from a grand jury. Nearly unheard of. They got two, back-to-back in the same case. Whiff of “vindictiveness,” maybe?
Administration fails again to indict N.Y. Attorney General Letitia James
A grand jury has refused to indict New York attorney general Letitia James, the second panel to refuse to do so, dealing a major setback to President Trump.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.
It doesn't have to be this way.

Of course Trump would give the economy an A+ after he rigged it to enrich him, his family and billionaires...
But for the rest of America?
Higher utility bills.
Higher grocery bills.
Historically high mortgage rates.
And skyrocketing health insurance bills.

new iOS update is sleek and also defaults in Music to “you must want songs transition as they would on a dance floor.” so many people will wonder why they can’t just listen to an album. Apps > Music > Song Transitions > toggle off.
