Talking EARLY SOBRIETIES tonight at Book Soup with the brilliant Aimee Bender. I always knew I’d make it to the Sunset Strip, I just thought it would be for my hair metal ballads rather than my literary fiction

My wonderful former student Candace Culp died suddenly and unexpectedly recently. Her writing was incredible, as was she, and I am still distraught at how I wish more of her words in the world. I'm so happy to see this essay out there -- thx Samantha Culp.

Today I learned that things labeled "flushable" are not, in fact, flushable, which is a nice reminder that big @charmin is out to get us all.

Just a free piece of political advice: get a bunch of progressive coalitions in a room and draft an aggressive and aspirational counter agenda to Project 2025. Drag the bastards out of the shadows and make them defend their ambitions. Turn it into a referendum.

Hey JD Vance , as a childless cat guy, I'm feeling a little left out. You claim to be all about men's rights. Please don't forget to insult me too!

This is why the French write all the best books about spectacle but the whole thing was all almost ruined by that one guy's facial hair at 00:25.
