I was dumb and looked up predictions for just how much early employees of Anthropic stand to gain in the IPO. We can't stop this juggernaut, but, if you live in the Bay and are going to become an 8 or 9 figure millionaire overnight, will you consider funding:
- low-income housing
- independent film

Just get so fucking beat down from multiple hardships that you have absolutely no fucks left to give.
Then write as if you are absolutely going to succeed.
You’ll be too exhausted to get in your own way.

Somewhere in a sweltering desert, cockroaches scurry around the cell of Carlitos Ricardo Parias. He holds up a plastic bottle, gazing at the worm-like creatures swimming in his water. His other arm is turning purple from a gunshot wound for which he says he hasn’t received proper medical care.

This is crazy. Alex is from Brazil, why would they deport him to Guyana?
He’s a longtime West Hollywood resident who has been following his immigration requirements. He wasn’t hiding. He wasn’t on the run. He showed up for his required ICE check-in.
And that’s where they detained him.

I know I should be happy about Meta being sued for 942 mil but I won't be happy until Zuck's living in a 2 br condo in Des Moines and all of his Hawaiian lands are returned to their people

Dinner with college friends last night. The host directed my play way back then.
One of the others said, "That was yours? I couldn't get tickets because it was sold out. It was the talk of the whole theater department."
I've needed to hear that for over 20 years. What if I'd never stopped writing?

Shootings happen in Oakland more often than you know. They don't get national attention. Last week, not far from where I live, 25 year-old Kimarii McLemore was shot and killed at school in attack that's assumed to be targeted. She was scheduled to graduate her carpentry program later in the day.
