Let's be clear. Mr. Gaiman is the exception, not the rule. Most professional authors are nowhere close to millionaires. I was surprised when I learned that, as a public school teacher, I earn more than most authors. Neil is coming to bat for all of those authors who will lose a substantial part of their income because of this. I agree that libraries are important, and not everyone can afford to buy books, but I can see both sides of this coin.
come the fuck on neil
Welcome to the 13th Amendment...
What if it turns out that you CAN take it with you? Those Egyptian pharaohs are still going to be living like kings, and the rest of us will be like "Well, shit!"
Darker Than The Dark Ages
No doubt about it
This picture has been circulating all over social media and I have more to add:
Delete all period cycle tracking apps off your phone today.
Do not tell anyone why you want to take your trip, especially over text/apps.
Do not tell anyone the real state/destination of your trip.
Have everyone on your trip turn off their phones. Use written directions or a burner phone. Do not use burner phone to open any personal apps. Dispose of after trip.
Only use cash while purchasing ANYTHING on your trip.
Take “vacation” photos to post later. Be cautious of geo-tags/only post screenshots of the original photos.
Some people might say this is being extra or overly precautious, but this really is the reality we are facing. People have been imprisoned with murder charges in certain states- some for literal miscarriages. If you are a person that ends up in this situation, the state can and will use your data against you as evidence in court. Do not leave a paper trail. If they want to treat us like criminals, we’re gonna move like criminals.
This is astonishing work, and the fact that it's freehand is astonishinger.
Carved a Neil DeGrasse Tyson stamp last night. Came out great!
The fun fact was that you could activate it by pushing a wire up into the holes in the bottom, without the main device. This is essentially how they were designed. When the button was pressed, the device sent a stiff wire up in this, activating it. It only had 4 uses before needing to be replaced.

Some ancient, eldritch, pissed-off god: "Fuck this one place in particular!"
I would pay extra for that cup, if it still has the kitty marks.
