It is. But let's not forget that the goal and the outcome are not always the same, and that we can play a role in deciding that.

Remember Keith Porter Jr. in LA, too, killed by an off-duty ICE agent who lived in his building. #KeithPorterJr #ICEkilling

Since our president is so great, I really think Simone Biles and Michael Phelps should give him their Olympic Gold Medals.

Beloved progressive Christians, I have a few thoughts. Right wing Christians simply do not care about your critiques of their faith, and those critiques too often result in friendly fire against Jews (see money changers, Pharisees, etc). My humble suggestion is that it might be more effective...

Stephen Miller's family seems like surprisingly decent human beings.

Hard to even know how to respond to such a remark.

If you didn’t know this before, well, now you do. And no one wants us not to remember Renee Good and her name, of course! It’s just that we can find a better phrase that doesn’t already have a different purpose.

The Nuremberg trials that we’re going to need when this is all over. Yikes.

Today I found out there’s a user here who finds people who’ve limited replies and quote skeets them saying “Muted for closing comments.” Like, why? If you don’t like limited replies, just find someone else’s skeets to read.

Well I've gone viral enough that I've actually had to limit replies for the first time ever. And now off to bed for me.

ICE killed a Black man, Keith Porter, 7 days before Renee Good, and I hadn't heard about it until today. His vigils went unnoticed. His life came and gone and America forgot to blink. Two Americas.

And I’ve broken containment.

Got a fash for the block lists, everyone!

We shouldn’t have to be putting ourselves in mortal peril to keep the federal government accountable. Slightly over half of the American voters made us do so, though. Thanks for that, by the way, American voters.

Fucking clown show of a country. California can't secede soon enough.

Parsifal.

Jumped out of a chair at the end of class. Jacket remained attached to both chair and me, chair and I both fell to ground (along with jacket).

Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution but for the U.S.

This sounds like something Palpatine would say when trying to corrupt someone to the Dark Side.

Wonder if my dad's cheering on this attack. He never saw an American military action he didn't like, except the attack on Belgrade because that attack helped Muslims.

This probably sounded more cinematic in the original German, but either way it's pretty clear what's going on.

Anyone planning an expedition to Jupiter? I don’t think even Mars is far enough to escape this shit.

Secession when?

Two appointees by a president this state hates have no right to tell us how to run our state, and if the rest of America has a problem with that, the rest of America can fuck off.

Secession is sounding better all the time. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Introduce yourself as what almost killed you: CW: suicide Hi, I’m suicidal ideation!

I don’t know that any book is sacred to me anymore, but I think I would swear on The Lord of the Rings simply because two of its main themes are avoiding the corrupting influence of power and the possibility of the little guy making a difference.

Sometimes I wonder if 11 might make a really good scientist one day. He has that insatiable curiosity about how things work and what everything is made of and stuff.

So good to have this news to ring in the new year. Fuck ICE, fuck Trump, fuck 2025 but maybe a little bit less so that last one after this. Let’s fuck them up more in 2026!

I may have chosen violence this evening, but it’s very cosmopolitan violence.

Unpopular opinion for the evening: If you’re one of those folks who says Fahrenheit is better for measuring when humans feel hot and cold, no, it’s not. More specifically, it may measure accurately how some humans perceive it, but not all. I’m an example of one for whom it’s not.

Sauron: Protect your home (except the side door which is so infested with spiders that surely no one’s coming in THAT way)).

Utah’s not a bad place.

The ring will go to fucking Gondor. Because no swear word could make that line any more hideous than it is already is. Fuck Peter Jackson's shitty portrayal of Faramir.

My hottest theology take is that Dav Pilkey (of Captain Underpants and Dog Man fame) does better Christian theology than most mainstream theologians.

Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals.

Christmas is definitely a Christian holiday. But some of the songs that celebrate it are only Christmas songs by association and could theoretically exist with no religious connection at all. Society is weird.

Decemberween is here. Decemberween is here. Today.

Jewish friends, I am a gentile and cannot determine the answer to this question. I offer it for your Nittel Nacht debating purposes!

A man’s* place is in the kitchen. *it me, I am man. I’m in the kitchen cooking.

Decemberween is almost here. Get ready.

Teachers and administrators are not going to be able to ignore this. We're going to end up punishing the victims if we don't take it seriously.

4 drew a clown yesterday and told me his name was Pagliaccio. Clearly I’m doing this parenting thing right.

Oh and for being an antisemite, too, did I forget that?

Can I just give a big “fuck you” to Puka Nacua for making me actually have to say it’s a good thing that a Los Angeles team lost? Fuck you, dude. Fuck you.

The world really needs a Jan6/ISamuel crossover.
