New York will always be a city of immigrants. When we protect the communities who keep this city running and uphold our sanctuary laws, we create a future that’s safer for every New Yorker.

On Transgender Day of Remembrance, California mourns and honors all the trans and gender non-conforming people taken from us by violence and discrimination. In California, hate is never tolerated. We will always defend the freedom, equality, and dignity of all people.

I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

📌The President of the United States is doing everything he can to help starve Americans instead of doing everything he can to help feed them. Read that again.

I see there's once again Discourse about blocking. You are not entitled to anyone else's attention, and nor are you obliged to pay attention to anyone else.

Congratulations Mark Rosewater! Today is Mark's 30th anniversary stewarding & shaping Magic. Truly a remarkable legacy. From leading set designs to tirelessly answering fan questions to your weekly articles to signing cards at any event you attend, thank you!

Tolkien is not perfect but he did, in fact, hate the fucking Nazis.

It can be done!!!

Exclusive: The Trump administration has used misleading footage to promote its immigration agenda in at least six videos in the last three months. Some videos that purported to show chaos in Trump-targeted cities had footage from completely different states.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fogg... This is Ronald Reagan's full speech that Trump & his allies objected to. It's still a rebuke to Trump and stands as a stark contrast, showing what real Presidential leadership looks like. Thank you Government of Ontario for this blast from the past.

The library did a profile on board members & I shared that my favourite book in the world is A Prayer For Owen Meany. Now I am hearing from people in town who also love the book. Instant best friends! Tonight we introduced kiddo to Simon Birch (film adaptation) & what it means to be a hero. So good.

Updating my LEGO White House

Never thought I'd see the day. AC/DC just announced they're raising the price of Dirty Deeds, effective immediately.

I demand you look at this bird. (Photo by me)

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

Dear #Mariners fans It was a great series. You have a great team and you show your love for them unreservedly. Congratulations on a great season. From a #BlueJays fan

Not to be THAT dictionary, but… It’s ‘per se,’ not ‘per say.’ It’s ‘dog-eat-dog world,’ not ‘doggy-dog world.’ It’s ‘hunger pangs,’ not ‘hunger pains.’ It’s ‘one and the same,’ not ‘one in the same.’ It's 'buck naked,' not 'butt naked.'

Read the piece: www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Stephen Miller is portraying opposition to Donald Trump in any form, including by judges issuing legal rulings, as an illegal rebellion, Jonathan Chait argues:

Kristi Noem coming out and saying ICE will be at the Super Bowl and suggesting it's because of Bad Bunny is propaganda. CBP and ICE (DHS) work security at EVERY Super Bowl. She is playing y'all. This is what flooding the zone with bullshit looks like. Ignore what they say and watch what they do.

The same holds for me. Any account on TikTok asking for money is NOT ME. Someone is posting the audio from our Saturday morning conversations, and pretending to be us.

“No amount of hand-waving will transform the victims into ‘combatants’ who may be lawfully targeted with lethal force, which is the linguistic legerdemain relied upon by the administration to drag this dispute into the domain of lawful warfare.” Lawyer Joseph Margulies:

Every Karoline Leavitt interview is like Reporter: Why is The Joker in charge of Middle East affairs? Karoline: First off, how dare you suggest he shouldn't be, you disgusting piece of woke trash Reporter: Is there a second part to that statement, or Karoline: Yes, and it's go fuck yourself
