I'm a writer, reader, and a compulsive book buyer. I stand with #HPBUnion booksellers fighting for a living wage! @halfpricebooks, your record profits are BECAUSE of your employees. Not in spite of them. Get it together.

Anticipating the imminent final gasp of this toxic burn pit, I downloaded Threads. Looked for <5 minutes and unimpressed. 2 cat posts and 1 Ben Shapiro post. 5 USWNT posts mean I may look again.

[Michael Klein @mkleinwrites]

@Heilywrites Relatable. Am listening to George Saunders on the (poorly named) Thoughtful Bro podcast. He advised writers to tell their story, but well.

I think the clinical terminology is that Marc Andreessen is "A Piece of Shit."

[Michael Klein @mkleinwrites]

I know Sam won't see this (few will) but I hope the team @MakingSenseHQ will consider no longer #platforming Marc Andreessen. His flippant attitude to the pandemic, his reliance on false equivalencies, his whataboutism, he's not worth Sam's time.

[Michael Klein @mkleinwrites]

And his nervous laughter was a tell of the highest order. I don't think he believes the bullshit he was saying about AGI, but at a net worth of 1.8 billion, he doesn't really have to. He can be secure on his island with all the other modern robber barons who got us into this.

I love the billionaire Andreessen telling us that Marxism got it wrong. @MakingSenseHQ

[Michael Klein @mkleinwrites]

Come for @pmarca's hubris ("It won't go wrong b/c i can't imagine it going wrong") but stay for the double standards "You can't trust experts. Trust me. I'm an expert." Also, Marc, stop saying "look." It's a podcast.
We're doomed.

@PaulkWrites @KellieDBrown1 Skip Silo. Also skip Servant.

@Heilywrites That's like saying sometimes you use the restroom and sometimes you go on the dining room table.

@GerardBlake @Richardfarms @budlight @Think_Rice It was - and I made double, so crawfish fried rice today!

[Michael Klein @mkleinwrites]

Tonight, we definitely thought rice! Thanks to @Richardfarms for the #crawfish and @GerardBlake for the #rice! (Not pictured was the @budlight I had.) And, yes, the cup in the back is a power move. #IYKYK @Think_Rice #etoufee

[Michael Klein @mkleinwrites]

I love @NicolleDWallace for the frequent deep cuts. Today, discussing overwhelmingly homogeneous American views on guns, "When you go behind the tabs..." Brilliant. #IYKYK

[Michael Klein @mkleinwrites]

Finally, @NicolleDWallace said about Trump what I've been waiting for about his endless confessions and confirmations on TV, "You're (GD) right I ordered the Code Red!" She is the greatest! @DeadlineWH

@PaulkWrites I like that they just subtly drop in "Jesus Christ" in the middle. I feel like that one is kind of taken.
