I'm pleased to announce that a short story of mine, "The Gilded Sting," is included in the recently released fantasy anthology ARTIFICE AND CRAFT, a collection of tales about magical artifacts.

Today @IsraeliPM Netanyahu and I talked about the importance of seizing this opportunity to end the conflict in Gaza, return all hostages, and chart a path to lasting peace and security for Israelis and Palestinians alike.

There's indeed a crewmember briefly visible in this shot in #StarTrekDiscovery's "Under the Twin Moons"⬆️⬅️, as first pointed out by @MD_Builds. Well, let's just say: he's in good company! 😜

#StarTrekTNG's "Unification I"↙️ + "Birthright I"↘️.😅

What's particularly hilarious about this vibesession story is that the delivery markup price is, essentially, the McDonald's consumer hiring a low-wage gig worker so they don't have to leave the house. This complaint boils down to "the economy is bad bc the help costs too much"

The Fox News reporter’s tweet (still up as I post this) is 3 sentences long. Every single one of them is false. The entire tweet is wrong.

Every. Word. Of. This.

I don’t care if you like Hillary or not, do yourself a favor and spend 8 minutes learning something.

[Mark Painter @Mark_Painter]

Awesome. 😆

Had a lot of fun scoring Coyote Vs Acme. As no-one will be able to hear it now, due to bizarre anti-art studio financial shenanigans I will never understand, here is a bit of behind the scenes footage of our “Meep Meep” Roadrunner choir, with apologies to Tchaikovsky…

We have the guns.
We have the jets.
We have the bombs.
And yet... we hesitate to help the heroes to finish the job.
We know Putin is planning a victory parade.
We shouldn’t be planning to walk away from a win.

If you’ve managed to make the label “pro-life” toxic, maybe the problem is not your terminology.

When was the last time you heard a reporter say that everyone was tired of hearing about Hunter Biden?

Or that, depending on your perspective, Hunter Biden is a criminal, or a victim of persecution?

[David Huyssen @davidhuyssen.bsky.social @davidhuyssen]

It’s hard to read Peter Baker’s “analysis” that “most Americans” are basically bored by Trump’s indictments without suspecting him of projection.

If you’re bored with the news, you can always stop writing for a newspaper!

Alito’s next opinion piece in the WSJ is about to be “I am a little king, actually. The Constitution doesn’t explicitly say I’m not”
