If you read Catch-22 before you moved out of your parents’ home and you haven’t read it since, my goodness do you owe it to yourself. It’s so much funnier and it hurts so much more.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

This week someone targeted my family for harm with a false report. We’re physically OK, but that doesn’t mean we weren’t harmed. I am beyond furious. Whatever your politics, this is awful, wrong, and can never become normal.

Good morning New Orleans. Today is Ash Wednesday, also known as the Worst Wednesday of the Year in New Orleans. In the Catholic church, it is the beginning of the Lenten season of austerity and contemplation before Easter. For New Orleanians, it's the start of Fish Fridays at every restaurant.

When I turned 40, I had 320 short story rejections and no books published. A few years later, I've published a short story collection and two novels with another on the way. Believe in yourself like someone who loves you.

Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step. 1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish. 2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

While everything nationally is terrible right now, I am excited for New Orleans’s new Mayor to be inaugurated on Monday. I’m beyond ready for new energy in City Hall, and I think Helena Moreno is the perfect person to bring it.

Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

the hardest part of living in Portland is having your house burn down every single night and then having to rebuild it during the day. the amount of money i spend just in drywall is insane.

Trump: Portland is burning to the ground—insurrectionists all over the place. The politicians are afraid for their lives. That’s the only reason they say there’s nothing happening.

Everyone knows that the x86 ISA is big.
 Modern CPUs have ~1000+ mnemonics. Guess how many make up 90% of compiled C/C++ code? TWELVE. I'm not kidding. The question is…what if we shrank it?
