I am really proud and overjoyed to be married to Brianna, and honored that she took my last name as hers. She is the bravest and most insightful and articulate and politically-saavy and wise person I know. She brings honor to the name of Wu.

Updated list of stuff Biden has done. To be honest, considering the 50/50 Senate split, this is pretty damn impressive. Despite the pandemic, more Americans have jobs now than at any time in history.

Gentle reminder. Biden talks to Zelenskyy and is sending hundreds of millions of $$$ in aid and weapons. In contrast Trump (Putin's puppet) froze similar shipments and refused to meet with Zelenskyy.
“[Trump] froze military assistance to Ukraine, they said nothing. Withheld a White House meeting with Zelenskyy ... So we are not gonna be lectured by them.”
— Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MA) goes off on House Minority Leader McCarthy blaming Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on Biden

I am so proud of my wife for so many things. This may be the greatest of all. Brianna posts that Elon should do a poll on whether he should resign. Less than a minute later he does, saying he'd abide by the results. And then he loses. Badly. Brianna is unbelievably awesome.

Donald Trump knows nothing about what immigrant families like mine face.
Since he was elected, I have people harassing me on the street. I’ve been blamed for Pearl Harbor (I’m Chinese.) I’ve been told to go home (which is Connecticut.)
He has enabled outright racism.

9 years ago: after a lifetime of trying, it was now or never. I gave writing one last try. That novelette became my 1st pro sale. Since then: 2 novellas, 4 stories, 1 novel, 2 Anlab Awards. Never give up on your dreams. They are one of the few things that are truly yours.

America needs prison reform. Too many people who are poor or minority jailed without justice. Rich people can afford bail and the poor can’t - making these debtor prisons. We need to outlaw for-profit prisons. And prison slave labor.

When I was little I loved reading all these great stories and books that had originally been in Analog (or its precursor, Astounding): Forever War, Dune, Foundation, Shadow Out of Time (HP Lovecraft's best story), later Ender's Game - so proud to have my work there now!

Brianna's pictures are deceptive (sorry, babe). My case is: (a) there is too little space in the front yard for more trees; and (b) if we put one in the space closer to the street (yellow X) it will block view of traffic (we live at a bend and busy intersection) n cause accidents

Terry Terman - who has maxed out his donation to the campaign - had a fascinating thought. Impeachment requires a majority vote in the House. Since votes are done alphabetically by last name, it is thus possible that Brianna WU’s vote will be the one to push it over the edge!

Because this poor woman gave all she could to his first senate campaign: $18, where 18 in the Jewish faith means "chai" or life. Every 6 years she gave $18 for his re-election, and Biden wanted to pay his respects and say thank you. *Sniff* Biden is a DUDE. And a real mensch./2
