I got an iPad that’s like 14 years old or something that I use just to watch Disenchantment in my bedroom as I try to sleep and Netflix sent me SNAIL MAIL to tell me that they are going to stop supporting that iPad and I think they would have sent me a telegram if they could have.

And so however reluctant I am to vote for Joe Biden as a person, I am comfortable with the choices he has made in his cabinet, for the most part. But I'm still livid about the genocide, which is why I want to go protest the active president, even during election season.

The graphs say "cases ... at age 60", but none of GenX is 60 yet. So ... it only gets worse? Or, these are projections?

I looked it up and it turns out there were zero book related deaths in 2023 and so far none in 2024 so, I don’t know, books may not be the problem.

There's a new fake profile of me on Facebook. My picture, my correct information, posts about my books - all made about five hours ago. But . . . it's not me. I don't understand what drives people to do this and what their whole game is. But it's super unsettling.

We lost Michael Zulli today. Beautiful, lyrical, mystical storyteller, he was part of the BW Boom of the 80s with his PUMA BLUES, he drew some gorgeous stuff for SANDMAN, and a startlingly fun book about Alice Cooper. All that’s just for starters. Some people, you think will always be out there.

If you give a Nigerian a drink with a straw in it, you might find that they'll take the straw out and blow through it rigorously before drinking with it. It's not voodoo. Sometimes, in warm climes, small insects take refuge in straws. So we would always blow through first. I still do it on reflex.

God I wish doctors wouldn't send seniors & people with language barriers home with vague instructions to do something online (order a specific medication, do pre-surgery intake, get a rebate) & assume it will just work out. There are still so many people for whom this is a huge barrier.

I’m amused I also have notes in my C book from college, even though that was a frighteningly long time ago. My C book said that null was 0 (with a .h file definition of NULL), trying to use a 0 pointer was an error, and that that was about all there was to say about null.

So the more I see of this, the more I respect it. The Cybertruck is so unrelentingly and singularly absurd that the only sane aesthetic response is to heap yet more absurdity on top. This exudes a level of "you're locked in here with me" energy that you don't often get the opportunity to witness.
