    Loved talking with and about "practice books," blurbs, Jess's son and Langston Hughes's day job. Thanks for having me on.

    I was Sam Harris’s podcast and had the most wide-ranging (random?) conversation of my life. Topics included: funeral planning, ethical cannibalism, mixed fibers, gossip, the value of values, radical honesty, manure storage on Noah’s ark and ethnic fluidity

    Loved being on with my friend, the brilliant podcaster Chuck Bryant. We talked about movies, including what it says when you are more interested in Mr. Hand’s Cuba lecture in Fast Times than in Spicoli’s antics. Hint: Means you are old!

    Calling this bill "tax reform" is like calling catastrophic climate change "weather improvement."

    Watched "The Santa Clause" with the kids, where Tim Allen has to learn to believe in the magic of Christmas. Can we do a remake where Tim Allen has to learn to believe in evolution?

    First person shooter game but with muskets so that you spend 95 percent of the time tamping down gunpowder and cleaning your muzzle and reloading. If the kids are going to play violent games, at least teach em patience.

    I held a contest for short stories containing the words "vulnerable," "fetus," "science-based," etc. Some excellent (and vulnerable and diverse) entries here. I donated to ACLU in honor of winners.

    Can we have a short story contest where the stories have to contain the words “vulnerable,” “entitlement,” “diversity,” “transgender,” “fetus,” “evidence-based” and “science-based.”? And the winner gets to choose a free speech or pro-science charity? I'll put up $100

    Thank you to the Washington Post for this lovely review of my book! You are good people. And I do promise to be more judicious in my use of the phrase "cousin humper"

    Testing to see if this Tweet still goes through: Comcast, kiss my ass. If you were my kid, I'd give you a clump of dirt for Hanukkah. And maybe some Crocs and Clamato.

    I love that the White House is like a reality show where the winners stay on and the losers die in 25 years from mass starvation caused by climate change!
