The career of an author is a strange beast and it is rarely what most people perceive it to be from the outside or what is happening on the surface. This has been on my mind a lot lately, for very personal reasons. So I guess I'm going to write about that a bit.

English has many pairs of words where '-th' was once added to make a noun out of the other, like 'width' and 'wide'. My favourites are the ones for which the link may not be obvious now, like: - 'mirth' and 'merry' - 'drought' and 'dry' - 'filth' and 'foul' - 'sloth' and 'slow'

you might agree with them, you might think there’s no good options, whatever. But backing politicians to do the right thing in SL just makes you an easily exploitable mug. The PR win from just using the money for food kitchens on the 4th was right there, but they won’t take it

🤔 Does paying people for vaccination have negative consequences, such as reducing future vaccination and eroding moral values? No. Our new paper in Nature: “Financial incentives for vaccination do not have negative unintended consequences” nature.com/articles/s4158… 👇🧵

Mike White is so drunk and hilarious. he just called out every famous person in the audience for passing on White Lotus. a true icon lol "I know you all passed! You all passed on this show! So, yes, it's very gratifying to have this moment." #GoldenGlobes
