If Xi Jinping visits some redwood trees in Golden Gate Park to smoke a bowl, then it's official, he deserves an honorary diploma from my high school.

It's weird that Xi Jinping is in town and he keeps visiting places I went in high school. He met Biden at the Filoli estate, where my high school choir used to perform at Christmas. He spoke to Apple and Nike execs at the Hyatt Regency, where they held my senior prom.

Dear brilliant author @lydiakiesling, Please tell us you gave serious consideration to "Back2Baku" as a title for this novel. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Brian https://t.co/rnxeBCtvcy

Really good/sad @Berkeleyside story on @spdbooks which is critical distributor for small presses. Closing the Berkeley warehouse is the end of an era. But SPD will rent space elsewhere. Small Press Distribution is closing its West Berkeley warehouse https://t.co/mJsmpk0mqh

Without @spdbooks, award-winning books like PUNKS by John Keene wouldn’t be available in stores. https://t.co/BPUk5ZEYeo

8 years ago I had the pleasure of publishing @eb_bartels at @The_Rumpus, and now, after collaborating on 96 (good grief!) interviews and book reviews together, I got to interview her about her first book for her own column at @FictionAdvocate. Go E.B.! https://t.co/nemi1p1XjS

This lunatic on my train just stood up, noticed the food crumbs he was sitting on, and casually brushed them BACKWARDS *toward his own seat back* before sitting down on them again. Madness.

@PaulGasbarra If by “Louisiana” you mean eastern South Carolina, then yes. (It’s South Carolina.) What are we gonna do about Matt’s answer, Paul? As usual, he’s either hilarious or he’s got a concussion. Somebody should check on him.

I’m staying in an Airbnb in a state I’ve never visited before. Quick! Guess what state I’m in, based on the coffee table books alone.
