NYT bestselling author of HOTEL ON THE CORNER OF BITTER AND SWEET and THE MANY DAUGHTERS OF AFONG MOY. Decent writer. Failed poet. Stridently self-deprecating.

I have more followers on Threads and it's not a bot-infested, crypto-shilling, Elon-babbling hellscape. Join us.

@chaddundas Paul is a masterful promoter. But yeah, Tyson is there for spectacle and to get a big check (and because he wants boxing to thrive). Tyson is going to lose ugly.

My God, so many normies in my various social feeds so certain Tyson is going to win. I am scared for them.

U.S. Archivist Colleen Shogan leads the National Archives, which oversees billions of government documents, photos, & records. But instead of educating the public about WWII incarceration & other dark chapters of American history, Shogan has spent the last year erasing history.

These people have no sense of humor. Wild that a vice presidential candidate would take time out of his “busy schedule” to analyze a joke taken out of context to make it seem racist. I love Puerto Rico and vacation there. I made fun of everyone…watch the whole set. I’m a comedian Tim…might be time to change your tampon.
Headquarters@HQNewsNow
Gov. Walz and @AOC react to this clip: “When you have some a-hole calling Puerto Rico ‘floating garbage,’ know that that's what they think about you. It's what they think about anyone who makes less money than them… I want every Puerto Rican in Philadelphia and Reading and across the country to see this clip”

I pop over here once in a while to keep my Twitter name from being deleted. Having accomplished that, I have to say that every time I'm here this place looks more like a deranged HOA with Elon as board president.

@Michael15211692 Wow...they couldn't turn the lights off inside for 10 min?

@JamieFord I'm currently writing an essay about it. It was fantastic. Unfortunate parking lot light, but here's my car during the totality.
English
@Michael15211692 I wish I had gone down there. My cousin said the total eclipse was amazing!
English
@JamieFord You know you've arrived when you're in a crossword! By the way, I thought of you recently. I passed through Yellville, AR, on my way back home after driving down to see the total eclipse.

I would like it much better if corporate personality tests told you what class of D&D character you are. Instead of "You're an (INFP)", it might say something like, "You're a Chaotic Good, Elvish Ranger, with high Dexterity, but weak Charisma."

Crowd sourcing -- help me make a list of female main characters whose full names appear in the title of the (traditionally published) book. Here are a few I have so far:

Eleanor Oliphant
Addie LaRue
Evelyn Hugo
Daisy Jones

“Nat Turner’s rebellion, the FLN in the Battle of Philippeville, and Hamas on October 7 belong in a similar category, in which violence cannot be evaluated outside the context of slavery, colonialism, and occupation” sociologistsforpalestine.org/blog/why-shoul…

I wish I could say I'm shocked that cops are beating peaceful protestors and then charging them with assault, but that's been in the unspoken police playbook for about 100 years now.
