They say posting your art is the best thing to do here when you first start. My art is a card game called The House of Wisdom. It's about the amazing discoveries of the Islamic Golden Age; things that you know about, but maybe don't know where they came from.

In a bar for wing night. They've got country music playing. KDKA runs a chyron over whatever police procedural is on. That's three things I never do. And that's where I learned Donnie Iris died.

Just Bill and George now. Sorry to hear about your friend, guys.

There's been a lot of talk about patriotism lately and I hear two different kids; there's the kind that takes, says "this is mine so it can't be yours," but I prefer the kind that gives, says "I am part of this and I want you, if you want it, to be part of it too." Which one sounds better to you?

Some people try to make it through this world by being smart. Other people instead depend on everyone else being stupid.

When I am president the first law I will dictate into being (because that's how it's done now) is that if your product, for example, a bag of frozen chicken nuggets, includes a ziplock as part of its packaging then it must be independently verified, by me, to actually work.

Dear Congress: remove this national threat (and embarrassment) now. And if the VP thinks about doing the same thing then take him too.

it's Friday evening, the sun is shining, the World Series is about to start, and you should top it off by backing my kickstarter

People complain about hyper-polarization but when the only options are "enemy" or "co-conspirator" it's hard to find common ground.

Concerning news. USDA has confirmed the first wildlife case of New World Screwworm in an elk in Pecos County, TX. The elk was near a game ranch and it was first reported by a hunter. Read more: www.aphis.usda.gov/news/agency-...

Murder cover-ups by the Trump regime.

This has been my only grail game. Just sitting there waiting for it to come back around. I hope this gets done right and not done in a way where there is only an expensive delux-ified version.

50 years ago, the Attorney General went to prison for committing crimes to cover up the criminal actions of the President of the United States. The fallout from Watergate led to the building of a wall of independence at DOJ that lasted half a century. That wall has been shattered by Trump's people.

Allegheny County set the standard and made history with the first county-level paid parental leave policy in the country. This victory reflects the power of organizing & advocacy. No parent should have to choose between a paycheck & caring for their newborn. Now it's time to guarantee paid family.

Well that's just great news ain't it. Good thing there isn't an unprecedentedly horrible winter on the way. %

Diminish an anime: Princess Mono Oh man, we could have called my wife that after that one summer in college. Hold up, that means I've just *empowered* this anime.

If you voted early, please convince at least 3 friends, family, coworkers, or neighbors to vote early, too. The margins in each state need to be so wide that MAGA can’t get away with shady tactics to change the results.

As a person who has ever had their phone shut off by a carrier it is incomprehensible to me that the caller-id spoofing robocalls can't be stopped at the source. You don't know who's accessing your system? How? That should be easy!

If you can convince everyone that their own best interest is somehow met by hurting everyone else, then all you have is a whole lot of hurt people and a few con men sitting in castles. The only way through is together.

You know what we never had to do when I was a kid? Call our phone with a different phone so we could figure out where our phone is.

In case anyone listening to me still needs a reason to vote for anyone-but-a-Republican with 17 days to go. We say it a lot but this time it's absolutely true that the silence tells you everything you need to know.

We know that this isn’t true because when people gain access to Medicaid (eg through expansion in states like Ohio), they are more likely to have a usual source of care and are less likely to have unmet health needs. And thanks to Medicare, seniors are the age group with the lowest uninsured rate.

Half a Scaramucci!

When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in. The joy on their faces says it all.

A gallon of gasoline weighs about six pounds. It needs roughly an equivalent mass of oxygen to burn, but oxygen is between a fifth and a quarter of the atmosphere by weight so you need 25 pounds of air which is a cube just under seven feet on a side. One gallon. Seven foot cube.

I love the weather this time of year but I hate the constant allergy headaches.

The joys of living with an ADHD chaos goblin: went to throw out a receipt that was balled up on the dining room table, it felt weird but I figured it was a CVS scarf or something. Nope $35 cash.

Excellent piece by @jamellebouie.net

I need someone to give me room to write about this moment in anti Muslim hate because there’s a reason Nidal Hassan is who is being killed by live firing squad. And it’s the same reason Ilhans house was raided.

So Danny Trejo was manipulated and tricked into being in Ben Shapiro's newest film. Holy shit.

...and listen.

Dear anyone still thinking of voting for a Republican in any race whatsoever, He hates you too. He hates me more, maybe, but he definitely hates you, and he needs to go because he's hurting us all. Vote like he's on the ballot.

Trump has attacked Rep. Ilhan Omar for years. He is vindictive, hateful, and abusive of power. This baseless raid was meant to intimidate and silence her and the communities she represents. Rep. Omar continues to stand on the right side of history and we’re right there with her.

Even in a democracy, if money is speech then poverty is disenfranchisement and wealth creates kings.

America, where they'll fine you for burning leaves, but the megawatt gas turbines down the way that will make your air quality way, way worse are an unstoppable inevitability of progress.

Is it ok to refuse to spend an hour driving to save someone an hour of bussing? Does it matter that I already drove an hour to save them an hour and a half this morning?
