Pinned thread with various creative works I want to be able to find later. First, Adam the Golem, the story of the golem of Prague set to a possibly familiar tune: bsky.app/profile/toms...

Adam the Golem was a calm, reflective soul With his chiseled jaw And his sculpted abs And two eyes made out of coal. Adam the Golem was a fairytale they say. He was made of clay But the rabbis say That he came to life one day.

Today marks eight years since eleven Jews were murdered in an unspeakable act of antisemitism at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh. May their memories continue to be a blessing. And may those who were wounded and those whose hearts were broken continue to heal.

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

There is a guy running for governor of Iowa and texting me for donations, a guy named Rob Sand, and I have been trying to suppress it but I don't think I can hold it in any longer ROB SAND, you don't have to put on the red light, those days are over, you don't have to sell your body to the night

I find the prediction markets pretty much useless when it comes to β€œwho is going to win” beforehand, because the sentiment is infected with the personal biases of the degen crypto sickos who participate what they are usually good at is doing math once the results start to come in

Brazil elected Lula again tonight. Poll averages appear to have had Lula and FlΓ‘vio Bolsonaro effectively tied, maybe Bolsonaro up 1 on Lula β€” so not sure why the markets had this race at 80-20 Bolsonaro. Markets might miss big in the U.S. midterms in 9 days too.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

Brazilian politics are their own thing, but anytime the Fascist International takes a hit is worth celebrating and they have been taking a fair number of Ls this year. We can perhaps dare to hope that the global wave that really started in 2010 and became a flood in 2015 has finally crested.
