That’s funny, last election was the centrists (& center right) who shit the bed & lost to a pedo. Imagine losing an election because you couldn’t bring yourself to say genocide is bad? Imagine not only shutting out the left of center but also reaching towards the Liz Cheney right? Great job.

This shit is why the legal/permanent US Resident in our household lays pretty low anyway. Who wants to get caught up in this kind of shit in ICE-occupied SoCal? We still never know if/when they’ll decide a 3-decades old, non-violent, misdemeanor offense could be deportable.

Finally!!! Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia has been released from TN custody and is on his way to reunite with his family in Maryland.

Game on.

So, according to an article I read in CoStar, a real estate data company that owns LoopNet, Apartments dot com, etc, BB&B is looking to, unbelievably, set up brick and mortar again. I cannot conceive of anything I miss less here in CA than BB&B. We’ve lived w/o it just fine now. We’ll survive.

LOL! 😆

Oh Kevin. “I lost my job because I refused to deal with statutory rape, why are people so sensitive, and ftr, I’m still ok with underaged girls.” Bold thing to go on national television to double down but he’s never been too bright. Not that Mike Johnson was an upgrade. That was a FAFO moment.

Yes. Both have/had good tweets. Both support genocide. Fetterman says he supports universal healthcare, Newsom vetoed it in CA. Newsom went to homeless camps and threw people’s belongings away.

He’s not, though. Redistricting is done at the state level. The GOP holds more states. If CA redistricts, other GOP states will do so. We have to look further ahead.

WHERE IS JAMES DOBSON

Get that motherfucker, Z.

Speaking of @jaywulf.bsky.social, I tried to describe to him why I hated Peter Murphy’s Cuts You Up, and it’s because I came from a place where Peter Murphy and Bauhaus did Bela Lugosi is Dead. The voice may belong to the same person but these two acts are not the same.

Happy bday to my beloved @jaywulf.bsky.social, who I treated to a movie this weekend that *I* wanted to see (Shin Godzilla), and for whom I have yet to buy a bday present! He made a joke about a Switch 2 and I said, “Bruh.” Feels like when you get past 40, bdays are like “Welp, I’m still alive.”

I really hate when you buy one thing from a website and they act like you are madly in love with their company and you want to hear from them every day. Don’t “welcome” me to the team. I’m trying out your product, not getting your company logo tattooed on my ass.

i distinctly remember a decade+ ago when all the creative jobs started going out the window being told to “learn to code”

There’s an entire community of houses built not far from me that was built as rentals only. Even in the Inland Empire, in cowshit Eastvale, a 3br house is $4k/mo. 60mi from LA. Ask the millionaire/billionaire class and their developer buddies if they’ll let us out from under the feudal lifestyle.

Record setting rainfall. Record setting heat. Record setting humidity. Record setting wildfires. Record setting winds. Record setting flooding. All this has been happening with increasing intensity around the world this past year, let alone prior years. Makes you wonder how long we can hold out.

“Thank you for your attention to this matter.” Like the manager of the Homeless is gonna get the memo and disburse it via email. He might as well sign his tweets, that’s the only way this could sound more asinine.

Btw, I recently re-read James Baldwin’s famous essay, What Price Freedom, and holy hell if that doesn’t ring true right now on multiple levels. That just over 60 years later, the way the hammer hits the nail on the head like it does shows how far we haven’t really come at all.

Did I hear correctly that Trump has offered to give Alaska back to Russia. Hoooooooo boy, how is that gonna fly with Alaskan MAGA? Anyone?

Of all the things I would want for Starfield, this is one of the least. I don’t want another No Man’s Sky, personally. More content, quests, poi, QoL improvements, factions, cities (or more fleshed out versions of the current cities), industries (terraforming and farming maybe), that would be cool.

Oh, the anti-Starfield snobs are out again here. Yawn. A game is what you make of it. Starfield is my cozy game for building ships/outposts, etc. (not alone on this) and exploring w/my space husband. Btw, speaking of Sam Coe, latest chapter of my fan fic is out! archiveofourown.org/works/654051...

Jay and I, just three weeks ago, went on vacation to visit Zion National Park, Monument Valley Tribal Park, and instead of going to the South Rim, we went to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon for the first time. The Lodge was beautiful, the whole area was incredible, and I am just heartbroken.💔

Remember Marilyn Frye:

Here is a scene from Chapter 9: Amstel Light, from my #Starfield fan fiction Coe-Pilot: The Space Between Us, A Starfield Love Story, and an excerpt from coming (very) soon Chapter 10: Settled Systems Sin City Sexy. There’s a link to the AO3 page as well. Warning:… www.tumblr.com/lilulicious/...

Yeah, I’ll take a “rude” label from @moderation.bsky.app while they let @jdvance1.bsky.social post transphobic bs unanswered and unmoderated. I guess this really is the new Twitter after all, huh? At least I know to expect Nazis over there.

Just report him to Bluesky for disinformation. I don't think he's realised this isn't Twitter. When he twigs disinformers get thrown off, he won't have anything to say. So just report it, then he'll give up and go away.

Yeah, which means you made a wrong fucking turn. Truth central is with that orange shitgibbon whose toes you lick on a daily basis, you pathetic excuse for an amoeba. And that’s insulting to perfectly useful amoeba. GTFO, fascist pig. Oh, yeah, where are my manners. Welcome. Now GTFO.

Dearest besties, I write this post with a heavy heart, as a vexing illness has laid me low. It is not a grave matter, but it has cast a shadow, leaving me dispirited. I long for the day when the simple pleasures of life can be enjoyed such as trash talking in game or a lively shitpost. Sincerely,

I have been a longtime advocate for a coach who has extensive European experience and Pochettino fits the bill. I have also been a longtime critic of the USMNT because of their insistence on using Arena and Berhalter on repeat. I’m hoping this is the start of a real golden era for the USMNT.

Good.

Oh Happy Fathers Day, Daddies!

People are assholes in replies with “get off the couch and eat less, fatty”, but if they think that hasn’t been tried multiple times, they are some stupid motherfuckers. Anyway, I am a mere 17lbs away from 100lbs total weight loss now. Which incidentally means I can move better, which helps more.

Indeed, this. There were so many young folks out, so many people with amazing energy. How do we engage them, keep them engaged, and get them to go with us through the midterms? We’d better offer something that’s better than the status quo, @kenmartin.bsky.social @electdemocrats.bsky.social

The Tea Party protests in April 2009 had about a third of a million people involved, and the political media treated it like a game changer for the Obama presidency. The No Kings rallies were AT LEAST ten times bigger than the Tea Party protests. Will the press keep pretending Trump is popular?

So to help exorcise the demons from yesterday’s decision, I went to our local No Kings Day protest in Riverside, CA, and I was shocked at the turnout in our purple city in our purple county. My arm got tired before the procession fully ended. I was so proud, I almost cried. (A brief thread)

As we approach the week leading up to Juneteenth, it’s important to recognize the flag and symbols around the day, as well as taking the opportunity to renew the call for lineage-based reparations for not only chattel slavery, but the harms inflicted upon Black Americans post-emancipation.

I just texted my coworker that the cops are coming and that I hope she’s out of there. She’s 60 and retiring in 2 weeks. One of my first friends at the office and I’m ready for her party with live mariachi, gonna Mexican the joint up.

The day started with tragedy with political violence in MN and instead of being scared, neighbors SHOWED UP to stand together at No Kings Twin Cities. We packed the Capitol Mall all the way to the Cathedral. Estimate 80,000+ right now. So proud of our state. #nokings #indivisible

Today’s senseless violence in Minnesota was Christian terrorism, plain and simple. Do not obfuscate that fact or brush it away—sit with it

I sold the tickets I’d purchased months ago at a 55% loss for the FIFA Club World Cup at the Pasadena Rose Bowl tomorrow between UCL winner PSG and Atletico Madrid because, frankly, we’re afraid to go with ICE and CBP present. Because one of us is a US Permanent Resident. It isn’t worth the risk.

I have no words. I have horses, I used to ride before the blood clot/anticoagulant therapy, I know what it’s like to end up under one, but to purposefully try to trample someone with your horses REPEATEDLY. Fuck, shoot me instead, here blunt force trauma to your head and body could be tremendous.

if white Americans didn’t want Mexicans in California maybe they should not have conquered California from Mexico and then spent 150 years building up an economy entirely dependent on the flow of people and goods across the border just a thought

I mean, I’ve seen video of them directly shooting journalists when no other shots were fired. These are the monsters we’re dealing with.

Estamos indignaos por los violentes ataques contra el pueblo de California — incluyendo el despliego peligroso de la Guardia Nacional oredenado por Trump. Continuaremos fuertemente enfrentando esta amenaza contra todos nosotros. En solidaridad, no estamos sin poder. #FreeDavidStopRaids

We are outraged by the violent attacks Californians are enduring - including the Trump admin's reckless deployment of the National Guard. We will continue to hold strong in the face of this threat against us all. In solidarity, we are not powerless. #FreeDavidStopRaids

Ok, I didn’t expect anyone to pay attention to my rage, but let me add one other thing: if this regime hadn’t been disappearing people from the street without due process, people wouldn’t be trying to “obstruct” ICE because they’re terrified these folks will never be heard from again.

Being proud of ones heritage is not just for colonizers, but they act like it.
