FOX REPORTER: “The way it felt in the room was not good. It did not seem like things went well. It seemed like Putin came in and steamrolled, got right into what he wanted to say, got his photo next to the president, then left.”

“Putin would eat you for lunch.”

Today, exactly that happened.

Do it. Kill tourism once and for all. It’s only $2.3 trillion a year. Las Vegas will whither and die.

The State Department is proposing requiring applicants for business and tourist visas to post a bond of up to $15,000 to enter the United States, a move that may make the process unaffordable for many.

Just realised it's the Hugos today (it's been a summer and a half with far too many shenanigans and a lot of things dropped off my radar).
Ah well. Crossing fingers and thanks to everyone who voted for me

I wrote Knives based on a manager skimming my tips from the debit machine.

This is equivalent to what happens in the fictional version, where the executive chef ends up in the walk-in without his head, and winds up on the weekend special.

Because that is exactly what I want to do to these fucks.

I never know how to answer questions about my process but I guess my process (after stages of saturation, noodling, ideating) is to write a big prose description of What Happens in This Movie from start to finish, and cut it up into story beats. Then do it again, but for scenes.

Osaka University's open source #quantum computer operating system project uses the #compiler frontend I wrote during my masters.

So thrilled to enable this!

Hi from Greenland everyone ✌️!
I’m a bit busy guiding our red sails tours here these days so I don’t post much, but I thought I’d share a little glimpse from yesterday night sailing ⛵️🧊.
That’s shot around 12pm…
