YOU'RE a ginko-toothed beaked whale!

I'll bet it's the Penguin island sneaking in the diseased cows. They are diabolically tricky.

Frens: I know the ACA is not perfect. Not close. But it is SO MUCH BETTER than what existed before. I not only was a health insurance broker for 6 years, I haven't had a job with insurance for over forty years, so if I had insurance, I had to buy it. We WANT a debate about health care. (typo reup)

Before the ACA there were no National Health Insurance standards. No minimums. Companies were licensed from state to state, and there was no standard for benefits. People would buy "full coverage" to find it only covered the hospital, no medical. Comparison shopping would be very difficult.

Thank you! Cueing this rascal up as we speak.

Frankenstein: Del Toro builds stunning visuals and he completely made the story his own. No spoilers, and beyond that, I realize I just spent a couple of years doing compare and contrast of Frankenstein tellings so this felt like homework to me. I'm not the person to opine on it.

I was right! The next Suntup limited edition is Lamb by @theauthorguy.bsky.social, one of my favorite books of all time. #booksky suntup.press/lamb/

Busy day today but note the U of Michigan consumer sentiment survey just reported its lowest reading in its 65 year history. Well done Donald!

Just watch, as the midterms approach and it looks more and more like the Republicans are going to take a shellacking, Elon will become Felon47's best friend again, as he looks for ways to cheat again.

Oh yeah, dignity, humility, respect, and honor. I remember now. (from Monday) open.substack.com/pub/demwinsm...

Oh, so he totally stole the money

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com Does Andy Kim not know how hard it is to be in the Senate? Chris Murphy? Maybe you can condescend to them, too. Explain to THEM why their colleagues HAD to cave. Yes cave. Remember your "Trump will never run" mantra from 2014-2016? Being wrong will never stop you.

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com OMG, stop mansplaining like we're all idiots. We know it's hard. They signed up for hard. The 8 were all veterans, this was not their 1st vote. Not even their 1st shutdown. Does Bernie know? Do the other 38 Democratic know? The party was coalescing. They fucked us.

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com Not buying it, Lawrence. We didn't march in the street. Organize and donate. Stuff envelopes and make calls. Face down armed soldiers. We didn't do any of that to have our team cave. IT IS A LOSS. They squandered the greatest amount of political capital since Obama.

Stunned by the number of pundits on the news who are painting the Cave Caucus as heroes and dismissing all of us who are angry because we are "on line." And this includes pundits from both the left AND the right. Tells me everything I need to know.

The Democrats in the Senate created a lot of new Independents today. Congrats, you nitwits.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard. We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions. We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

A stinking slug of skunk snot.

Well that was a squirrelly scabbard of supercilious snail snot.

That was a turgid tankard of turtle toss.

Well that was a wobbly wagonload of walrus wank.

ima barf

I will donate to anyone that primaries a democrat that caves in this fight.

@ossoff.bsky.social If you cave on this, your seat has no value to us. No donations. No support. PLEASE hold the line. No CR without the ACA subsidies.

Hey @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov: compromising with fascists is compliance. Read the room. Do your jobs. Protect your constituents.

They started by DOGE coming in and randomly taking out pieces of Government like it was a Jenga tower. Know how a Jenga game always ends? Always.

And that doesn't even count the 600,000 he's starved TO DEATH by disassembling USAID. What a monster.

The richest man on the planet starved 600K people to death simple because he could. No other reason.

Elon did this under Felon47's blessing.

“.. in a group Signal chat, .. he wrote in part: ‘I fired 5 rounds and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book boys.’” @reuters.com #Chicago www.reuters.com/world/us/bor...

"Let me be clear: The president has both the funding and the authority to fund SNAP during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.” Gov. Andy Beshear

Remember when the 2nd No Kings was going to be on Labor Day, and it evaporated? BECAUSE IT WAS A STUPID DAY FOR IT! This is profoundly stupid timing. No travel or economic activity over Thanksgiving? People who have been struggling with prices for a year can't buy Xmas presents over Black Friday?

Nearly a year in the making with Bookstr’s help, DON’T WORRY NO ONE’S LISTENING is out. Christopher Moore @theauthorguy.bsky.social is not just a great writer, but a cool human being. www.youtube.com/@DWNOL SPOTIFY: bit.ly/DWNOL <----BEST EXPERIENCE APPLE: bit.ly/DWNOLpodcast

I predict Andrew Cuomo will change parties and go someplace where a loud-mouthed sex pest is appreciated.

Woke up today to the news

Look at these cosplay cowboys, geared up to wage war against us.

Stay for #2. If you're not furious afterward, you're a horrible person.

Stunning Día de los Muertos - Day of the Dead a celebration honoring the lives of loved ones who have passed away. Families gather to create altars, known as ofrendas, adorned with marigolds, candles, and cherished photographs. People also dress in colorful costumes, often painting their faces.

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

This's been a long time coming. Thanks to everyone who made this podcast happen. It’s me one-on-one with another author or screenwriter talking shop and laughing. DWNOL premieres Wed 11/5/25 with @theauthorguy.bsky.social Christopher Moore. Use that extra hour you gain on this #writing #books

SQUIRREL OF THE DAY! SQUIRREL OF THE DAY! HAPPY HALLOWEEN MOTHERFUDGING SQUIRREL OF THE DAY!

"All those decades of the arms race, and it turned out there was no greater damage you could inflict on a state than ensure it was led by an idiot." Herron, Mick. Bad Actors (Slough House Book 8) (p. 48). (Function). Such a fun, talented writer.
