The one on the left is my copy of Caligula and 3 Other Plays, found at The Book Nook II in College Park, MD, back when I was just a kid.

And the one on the right, that’s the new edition being published today by Vintage Books.

It may be rare, but sometimes wishes do come true.

French authorities must ensure the safety of protesters and refrain from using unnecessary or excessive force.

New from me: Until we eliminate subminimum wages for tipped workers, your tips will not be rewards for good service but subsidies for businesses to pay their workers starvation wages. Ending this two-tiered system will be better for everyone #Initiative82

Probably worth thinking twice about #economic / #tax-related "fact checking" done by billionaire Jeff Bezos, er, @GlennKesslerWP, over @washingtonpost. I grew up reading The Post, and loved doing so. Sad to see it become #Orwell's Ministry of Truth.

The winter storm headed our way late tonight will have extra impact on the homeless. @GFTH uses 100% of donations (https://t.co/3cyvu4u5D7) to buy and donate warm winter clothing & blankets – more than 100,000 items – to dozens of local shelters. #KeepWashingtonWarm

Here's an idea: before Democrats even take office, let's propose some reasonable, attainable goals, then—this is the fun part—let's try to be as defeatist as we can possibly be about them, so no one actually expects anything to ever change. Yes! Genius!

Here's a sample:

"As soon as the population was put on lockdown, the theories began flying. Could the government have created the virus to serve their own interests? Could it have been a foreign power? The pharmaceutical industry? All the while, no one suspected the introverts."

Just discovered @patrick_baud's hilarious @nanofictions.
Definitely worth checking out.

Phil @ChmnMendelson is the Mitch McConnell of local D.C. #politics. You want #Rent Control!!! You want to Raise #Taxes on the rich!!! What do you think we are, crazy Stalinist Commie sympathizers? Next thing you know, they'll be saying the will of the people should actually count

Didn't realize I had a story published recently in The Normal School, but that's okay by me. Check it out:

"Later, floating in space, he’d remember the word chiffonade.
“Let me just chiffonade this basil,” she’d said, rinsing her finger, “and then we can eat.”" There are stories out there in the world and then there's this, by Ryan Bloom https://t.co/x99Un0CSWe #thenormalschool
