Clowns will say it doesn't matter; we don't have the numbers to impeach. You get the numbers by FORCING THE ISSUE. You make NOISE, you DEMAND, you NEVER STOP YELLING. You do nothing? You get nothing. Ignore the clowns. Call your fucking reps and tell them to do their jobs and IMPEACH. reps.fyi

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

I’m pretty stoked about how many women I saw at an OC-area Barnes and Noble the other day, clutching piles of books bought with holiday money and so clearly excited to read them all

Wasn’t expecting to see a billboard advertising the Arian heresy (that Jesus isn’t divine Himself) by the freeway in LA today, but this really is the silliest timeline

*deep sigh* The Warp Korma

Ever since bingeing 5 seasons of Line of Duty this year I’ve kept repeating to people (mainly my parents) that I didn’t just float down the Lagan on a bubble

All of these bootlegged copies of the 60 Minutes segment flooding my feed (saying, ‘Watch it quick! Before it disappears!’) makes me feel like I’m in the Soviet Union and just got some black market foreign newspaper I need to hide under a floorboard in my house. This is where America is now

Heh.

From the Blog: I find it weird how Daredevil’s original series didn’t get good (or at least memorable) until 15 years after it was first published: frad-lab.blogspot.com/2025/12/the-... #mondayblogs

I don’t care if this sounds desperately uncool, but according to Apple Music my most listened album of 2025 is Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits and it’s as amazing as ever (certain lyrics aside)

Bringing home the Scriptnotes book by @johnaugust.bsky.social and @clmazin.bsky.social while listening to the Scriptnotes podcast (btw I was parked when I took this)

One of the reasons I think it’s also essential to not call the boat strikes “war crimes” but “crimes against humanity,” is that it emphasizes that Trump and Hegseth are acting extra-constitutionally and are not entitled to any shield from the courts. This systematic murder of civilians is illegal.

For the [ast few years I've been editing the short fiction for Star Ship Sofa, a venerable SF (not F/H) podcast. It's a small joint, and I've turned it primarily into a reprint market as we can afford only $50 per story. I've also turned it into a reprint market because writers need money fast. 🧵

Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪

Senate Democrats gave up with nothing to show for it. Now it's time for the *House Democrats "Grow a Spine" Challenge*. Join @defendpublichealth.bsky.social and send a letter to your House Dem Reps telling them to stay strong here: actionnetwork.org/letters/5ae8...

Is Schumer still the minority leader? Is Durbin still the whip? Is Cortes-Masto still a vice chair? Good Democrats -- rank and file, those committed to restoring party --must tell Act Blue and every candidate with hands out for the coming midterms -- that there's no cash coming without new leaders.

Perfect.

Hey yo here’s some blue meat from me on yesterday’s election results. www.sfgate.com/politics/art...

Omg I’m dying 😂😂😂…so…So Emily Austin, a right wing 'influencer' who works for Bibi and the GOP, launched 'Hot Girls for Cuomo'. Guess who didn't bother to register the URL when she did that? What do you think Hot Girls for Cuomo dot com leads to now?... 😄 Enjoy. [ HotGirlsforCuomo.com ]

With SNAP benefits going to shit because of rich assholes and corruption running rampant through politics I'd like to point your attention to a Clinton. No, not one of those Clintons. This Clinton. Clifford Clinton.

I like to say that the nerdiest thing about me is that I subscribe to Paramount Plus for Star Trek, but I also watch the Champions League on it, which I guess shows I’m multifaceted

In case anyone wants to know how elections work in the rest of the world, one of the candidates in this week’s Irish presidential election pulled out over a financial scandal involving the princely sum of €3,300

MAGA is trying to steal congressional seats in Texas & other GOP states! That’s why California is rallying behind Proposition 50 to counter Trump’s ability to steal 5 seats in Texas — to give Americans a fighting chance for fair representation in Congress. #YesOnProp50 #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Here’s no paywall www.pbs.org/newshour/hea...

They’re not redistricting — they’re preparing the battlefield. If Trump gets 5 extra seats in Congress, he’ll have the votes to declare emergency rule in any city that dares to dissent. #YesOnProp50

there is a new scandal as bad or worse than what got trump impeached the first time about every 48 hours

Kinda wild that Mamdani and Sliwa are the guys who won their primaries and there has been open, nonstop meddling to overturn that will of the voters and install the disgraced former governor and it’s largely being covered like this is perfectly normal shit

The Boys is still entertaining in Season 4 but I can’t deny that it’s not so fun watching the exact same shit happening in real life also happening on the show
