Some billionaire is paying back pay to the military. We do realize that's why we need to #TaxTheRich, right? And that is what tax dollars are for?

This is not normal. This is not ok.

Faking your own death? Easy. Now faking your own *life*? That's the thing.

Days later now and I can say (with some authority) that this is *still* the best account of what actually occurred with the recovery of the Kryptos K4 plaintext: zonamotel.substack.com/p/interview-...

News from our future in the original Russian: Students will learn how schoolchildren studied during WWII and how to write with a fountain pen and ink.

So if anybody has secret powers they've been waiting the right time to reveal, now would be good

Overdue Book Report: Dodsworth by Sinclair Lewis. It took me so long to finish this book because every page filled me with dread for his inevitable emotional pain.

You already know who's doing the dirty work these days. You already know who's taken over Congress's power of the purse. Take a minute to sign our #StopVought petition and then pass it on! #SaveTheCFPB

If I saw you on No Kings Day, I told you the CFPB is still alive and fighting to stay that way. Sign our petition to #StopVought and use 5calls.org for some words you can use when you call your congressmembers.

GENIUS

Whoa, those Antifa-types really did a number on the White House during the No Kings protests.

New on STAGE WRITE: Brief thoughts on the recovery of the Kryptos K4 plaintext, and a great interview with myself and Jarett Kobek about it at Zona Motel. stage-write.ghost.io/k4-and-after/

To quote my lovely spouse: "It's not like they're going to get paid."

Wall Street is worried! If only there was an independent group of regular working people, who don't work for Wall Street, whose jobs are to monitor this market & intervene to protect everyday people from the fallout

By the way, my Bluesky posts are completely off-the-record.

FUN IS GOOD FOR YOU!!!!

When you have a good jelly donut it is a life-affirming experience.

No, you're a poopyhead

According to A Real Teenager(tm) I correctly used "lock in" and "crash out" yesterday.

Alexandria VA has a King Street. This is our No Kings Street.

Shout out to the top 5 kings in the world, Martin Luther, Larry, Don, Stephen and Americans don't have a motherfuckin'.

Ready for tomorrow. #NoKings2 (Yes, there’s a citation for the quote on my protest sign. I’m not a barbarian.)

Feels like an appropriate day to read @andykroll.bsky.social's profile of the man engineering the push to make Trump into a de facto king:

On Wednesday, Oct. 22 at 6 p.m. ET, ProPublica reporter @andykroll.bsky.social will be on Reddit answering your questions about his investigation of Russ Vought’s rise from the Senate mail room to Trump’s “shadow president.” Set a reminder: www.reddit.com/r/fednews/co...

Her Twitter account is one of the main things I miss.

Whoa. @stagewrite.bsky.social doin' the thing. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/16/s...

Check 5calls.org and you'll see words you can use when you call your congressperson. Words like "Restore CFPB Funding to Protect Consumers from Wall Street Fraud."

I think all federal workers can relate to this feeling lately… #TenaciousNotTraumatized

Remember self-care. Sprinkle some joy in with the doom scrollin' and whatnot. I love you and there's absolutely nothin' you can do about it.

Skeptopotamus is the best party guest.

I love traveling. One thing that is delightful to come home to: the paradise of the American shower.

I look words up in the dictionary all the time. Everyone can. For the record the words I hate: solipsism, solecism, and palimpsest.

Bring back the click-to-cancel rule and a CFPB that would punish such end runs.

Also, if you see me with a large amount of cash money in a bag from Chipotle or something, no you didn't.

Show me a picture on your phone that has your energy. Not a selfie.

oo what do you think @sentimentbot.bsky.social?

It meeeeee!!!! #savetheCFPB

Happening Now: @nclc4consumers.bsky.social's Carla Sanchez-Adams tells Congress how to protect consumers from fraud. Note the CFPB worker/NTEU 335 member in the red t-shirt looking on!: #savecf

It's not too late, folks. Call your congresspeople! #savetheCFPB

One salute on my timeline, one repost on yours.

"didn't" "really" "consider" #savetheCFPB

It's called the base rate fallacy.
