An actual headline and sub in The Atlantic, an actual magazine with a long actual history and...

America would be less dumb (and maybe less cruel) if it stopped taking what comedians say as news or some higher truth. This has been happening for decades now.

"Since private prisons are illegal in New York state..." Huh. I did not know this.

Edited by Linda Hartley, Sinister Societies features six novellas by: @cindyoquinn.bsky.social @erricknunnally.bsky.social @missmurdermercedes.bsky.social @comicazimike.bsky.social @horrortom.bsky.social @inkwellmonster.bsky.social 🔗: links.ruadanbooks.com/buyS6 #BookSky #TBR #horrorbooks

Our haul from today's Brooklyn Book Festival! I bought @erricknunnally.bsky.social's novel directly from the @clashbooks.bsky.social booth. VIDEOTAPES FROM HELL was purchased from The Twisted Spine's booth. I love those folks! Alexa got the others from various sellers around the festival.

Still waiting on the car, NBC ran a quick hit to promote upcoming coverage of the tributes and fallout from the Charlie Kirk assassination.

real macho man we got here. threat neutralized soldier, good job. looks like you really needed that call of duty max loadout

I love this so much. (And I hate that it reminds me of the literal reality dumpster fire that pro wrestling became in the U.S.) Local amateur wrestling is pretty cool, tho, it got that energy.

I love how "support our troops/police" and "thank you for your service," has superseded and overridden the honor and integrity—the only two things that make American democracy work—to resist unlawful orders and uphold the Constitution.

great news! you're not actually seeing karl rove, john yoo, and david frum criticize the administration's lawlessness more stridently than dem leadership. you, reader, were infected with rabies by a brown bat 36 hours ago and this is all just the virus working its way through your nervous system

I enjoyed the S2 final episode of "Superman & Lois" but it sure felt like it was written by a team who thought their show was being cancelled. 😳

I heard AI and its relationship to the economy recently described as “The wasting is masked because the tumor is growing so fast that the body isn’t losing weight.”

Check out this cool shit. Wooldridge is a fabulously experienced writer and absolutely worth supporting! www.kickstarter.com/projects/ano...

It's remarkable that Utah has this mythical reputation for upholding religious morals, but... "Utah was the first state to resume executions after the 1972–1976 national moratorium on capital punishment ended with Gregg v. Georgia, when Gary Gilmore was executed by firing squad in 1977."

I thought the reelection of Trump was bad enough, but the outpouring of bent knees for Christo-fascist bigot Charlie Kirk has really put me on edge.

I'm but sure what other conclusions to draw here other than a wide web of untrustworthiness in America's "leadership."

More evidence of who not to trust. It's hard to tell by sight alone—unless you're racist—so this is very useful information. Also, I remain reassured I made the right choice to leave MA. I was in-state yesterday and wondered about the half-staff flags. JFC, y'all.

Caroline Munro was Oscar-snubbed for her work in STAR CRASH. #facts

About goddamn time.

It is a thing to behold on top of, y'know, *waves hands* all the rest of it.

This is why motherfuckers like Ezra need to be kept at a distance with side-eye on 'em at all time—AT ALL TIMES. Kirk was very actively and materially supporting some awful, disruptive, violent shit.

omg i cdv sworn i literally saw baldwin say those words but mbe mandela effect lol

Referring to Charlie Kirk as a "charismatic right-wing activist" has me questioning the meaning of 'charisma' and reconsidering the depth of cognitive rot in about 70 million citizens or maybe about 60% of the population.

If Charlie Kirk is dead, I won't mourn his passing. This was a sacrifice he was willing to make To have a country with more guns than people, among other things...

A BAND CALLED DEATH youtu.be/A_WiJscW1ko?...

Says the man who somehow missed the invention of batteries (circa 1800).

Another banger from Contraband Camp, your forever reminder to pay attention to where *waves hands* all of this "exceptionalism" came from. open.substack.com/pub/michaelh...

It's gonna be crazy when federal law enforcement arrests the head of HR, the COO, and the CEO of Hyundai following those raids to put a stop to illegal hiring. Yeah, the prep walks are just gonna be nuts...

“How Google’s shift to AI has obliterated the utility of Google search and how (consumer generative) AI more generally is ruining everything it touches” might be a better story. I dunno. Just me?

The Author’s Guild has a good explainer on the settlement, and according to them, it’s not too late to provide your info: authorsguild.org/news/what-au...

Sen. Bill Cassidy is stupid AND a doctor. This may seem paradoxical until one factors in his sycophantic disorder which makes him reflexively kiss Dear Leader's ass while also being "concerned as a doctor" in public. It's just math science, it all adds up.

What a fucking nightmare space squid Trump's regime is, just innumerable, ignorant tentacles whipping in all directions to drag whatever it touches into an insatiable, snapping maw of mindless action.

"When you're the law, they let you do it." Look at this horrific excuse for...well...anything, holding something he's never read because he doesn't read.

The Queen Of Saturn And The Prince In Exile @clashbooks.bsky.social Y'know, I've always wanted one of these. ;-) bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

There's a rooster somewhere in my neighborhood and the more I hear it crow, the more convinced I am that Gamera's signature roar is a modified rooster crow much like Godzilla's is born of an assaulted cello. 🤔

Maxwell: “…and some [of Epstein’s cast of characters] are in your cabinet…” Hold up, WHAT?!?! Maybe we wanna follow up on that?! #ReleaseAllTheEpsteinFiles Massive 👏👏👏 to @jonathanlarsen.bsky.social for flagging this. Article link👇 open.substack.com/pub/thefucki...

Apparently, they're making a sequel to SISU so I won't have to keep the Nazis getting murked in a single-movie loop anymore, I can add a second movie. That's pretty cool.

hey in case you're not in Washington, some fun facts: the Bear Gulch fire is a 9000-ACRE WILDFIRE that has been burning for almost TWO FUCKING MONTHS in one of our largest, most beautiful national parks and ICE's contribution is to come ARREST THE FUCKING FIREFIGHTERS

I was living in England at the time and had no idea that Snap's "The Power" was based on Chill Rob G's "The Power" and that, as a Brooklyn-based MC, an international techno-pop hit took the shine off his hip hop career by making him seem inauthentic as. NY rapper. 🤔

Here lies a thread of horror. Not a single comment is anything close to rational, just an engaged acceptance of the struggle to prompt AI do what two people already do—hell, a single person could shoot this in a day. 🙄 www.linkedin.com/posts/brando...
