Frankenstein looks great on the big screen, b.t.w.

Get back to work!

Thrilled to have a poem in this issue!

I don’t care whether a politician identifies as “moderate,” “conservative,” “progressive,” or anything. What I care about is whether they faithfully represent citizens rather than donors. And if they don’t up to make health care affordable for all, they aren’t doing that.

This is relevant to my interests.

Joyce Carol GOAT, honestly, if I was in the receiving end of this, I would have simply passed away.

Plug: This 2026 diary/planner from @versobooks.bsky.social is full of dates & facts from labor & liberation movements. I managed to make it lie flat on the desk without breaking its spine. I was a little concerned about that, but it passed the test. www.versobooks.com/products/344...

Yes, his WHO'S ON FIRST is one of my favorite albums.

Will include a poem by me!

back in the 60s, conservatives didnt trust the gop establishment. they saw them as giving in to the left. they staged an insurgency and took over the party. this led to goldwater who was destroyed. but then they got reagan bush ii gingrich trump this is the model.

It is wonderful. First encountered by me in CHAOS by James Gleick, aka @around.com

Convincing you to read my novel by the first sentence. Share yours if you want. Walking a Wounded Land opens with…

Why the hell was she banned from BlueSky, now? #FreeSarahKendzior

"Tucked within that last appropriation is a measure that allows the eight Republican senators whose phone logs were seized during former special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation of the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, to sue the government for up to $500,000 apiece."

the democratic party establishment hasnt learned a damn thing since they voted to allow george w bush to invade iraq. not one thing.

TODAY ONLY the publisher of the #ebook edition of this antifascist cyberpunk #sf trilogy is offering ALL THREE BOOKS for $3.99. This promotion is to try and interest libraries in the books for their #ebooks stacks but also is today available to anyone. The 3 books are normally 30 dollars!

Of course a little over half the people getting SNAP food aid *have jobs*. They just aren't earning enough money to feed their families and pay rent etc too. And many are simply between jobs, are applying for them. And even if the SNAP recipient doesn't work--does that mean we starve their children?

Even though this happened two weeks ago I just saw it. ICE shoot a US Marshall. This is how untrained these idiots are. www.latimes.com/california/s...

a new genre of photo in the last year is federal agents working for ICE pointing guns directly at photographers

Chris Murphy nailed it after last night's vote: "There's no way to sugarcoat what happened tonight. And my fear is that Trump gets stronger, not weaker, because of this acquiescence. I'm angry - like you. But I choose to keep fighting."

Why, You grave but reckless senators

Why are planetary scientists, astrobiologists and and SETI scientists so negative (pissed off, even) about Avi Loeb’s repeated claims that 3I/Atlas may be an invading alien spaceship? 🧵 🧪🔭🛸 (1/7)

This is a hell of an essay and I am intrigued by this Vince Gilligan show. 🧪🩺 #MedSky #LongCovid #DisabilitySky #Spoonies

That she did. And she did her best to warn us.

If so, they will be unpleasantly surprised when they find out the hard way that fascists, like Sauron, do not share power — and that fascists =always= betray their enablers. Always.

Frankenstein was great. Now do Dorian Gray.

I feel there should be a Beauregard in there somewhere.

Oh, I feel some type of way about this. And since I plan to tell off everyone I can before I die, I am going to talk about it. Welcome to my Ted Talk: "Latin actors can save Star Wars--but does it deserve to be saved?"

This was literally the underlying rationale behind most of US foreign policy in the 1980s. The US government loves a fascist. WW2 was frankly an aberration in that regard.

If you believe it was just 8 senators I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. This was a Schumer operation.

I love to be first or last. Congratulations.

I will believe it when I see it.

WHOOPS we forgot to include the link!! go and read The Ghost of Cerrera Orbital Station Makes Herself Known by @amadolaila.bsky.social it's a great little story 🖤 psychopomp.com/deadlands/is...

ACA was the compromise. If Republicans want to flip the table and start over, we cannot negotiate from the compromise. Single payer is the demand. They can negotiate us back to the ACA again if they want.

It does seem a little too good to be true.

A little stronger, please, @captmarkkelly.bsky.social

Interested in our novel workshop, but concerned about the financial commitment? Don't count yourself out! Thanks to generous donors, we have three full-tuition scholarships available. We're excited to see our next cohort! Applications due November 13th, 2025. www.clarionwest.org/clarion-west...

What's the appropriate way to celebrate this auspicious day, beyond sharing the meme?

We deserve a Democratic Party that is willing to fight as hard as we are. We need new leadership in this moment and to get there, we need a chorus of support for change. Tell your Democratic senators to call on Senator Schumer to step aside as Minority Leader. It’s time for drastic action.

I am cynically edging towards something I'd rather not believe: That they are OK with the fascism and see it as a way to keep their jobs.

Hearing suggestions that the shameful 8 voted to give other Democrats cover. People who voted no even though they wanted to vote yes. If so, I wonder which of them wanted cover. Way to restore trust.

Occasional reminder: 34 felonies.

This is at least good news given all the other shit happening.

Palantir has a “Meritocracy Fellowship” where they hire high school graduates and discourage them from going to college, where, you know, they might learn critical thinking skills that allow them to critically analyze Palantir

I’m biased but it’s really such a good looking book
