Maxwell wanted a pardon. Trump declined. Maxwell released the birthday card to the WSJ as a shot across the bow. Trump sent his lawyer to negotiate. She told the lawyer about the dirt she had. She was moved to Club Fed, given a puppy and told to stand by for the pardon.

This how I find out I have a son??

Sobering news for a lot of top Democrats, tonight, as they realize people would prefer they actually fucking do something.

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

I sort of forgot to mention that my podcast, It's Storytime With Wil Wheaton, had a wonderful test season earlier this year, and new episodes are on their way! I will return on October 29th, with a spooky story. You can find me wherever you get your podcasts, or at patreon.com/storytime

Rewatching Eureka and forgot @felicia.day was on the show. What a nice surprise for the second time.

the president has destroyed the east wing of the white house without so much as a word of input from anyone else to build a royal ballroom paid for with bribes

wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that. No phones, no staff, nothing. I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

“Kids”

They are terrified of the No Kings rallies and doing everything they can to discredit them. If you're on the fence about going, just think of how much it'll piss off these assholes.

OpenAI’s strategy is very clear, it’s trying to get people - especially young people - so reliant on its products intellectually & emotionally (& now sexually!) that going without them becomes unthinkable. And they need signs of that strategy working to keep the funding flowing in

“No, Speaker Johnson — the No Kings rally on October 18 is not a hate America rally. In fact, it’s quite the contrary: It’s a love America rally.” #NoKings

Oh look. Mini therapy horses. Gasp.

I just discovered Dragon Age Redemption with @felicia.day and it is amazing!

Sharing a few things before getting to work.. Join us TODAY at 6 pm virtually for a discussion of how to build real power around public libraries this Banned Books Week. us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this year‘s cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires. Gift link: nyti.ms/3IWXbiE

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Re: the Epstein situation, as predicted by Sarah Kendzior in "They Knew", 2022. The cover up has been bipartisan for quite some time. Thanks be to those who are truly giving it a final Girl Scout try to bring it all to light, whatever is left to see. @sarahkendzior.bsky.social

A quick FYI: They have *just* relaunched the online NPR shop with bunches of new stuff, plus some throwbacks and, of course, the Tiny Desk hoodie. So if you are that kind of public media person, there’s some stuff to check out! shopnpr.org

The language of non-consent around AI is really telling. "It's too late to be scared." "It's here whether we want it or not." "You'll have to learn to work with it." "You can't fight the inevitable." All just variations of "you're not allowed to say no." Creepy technology made by creepy people.

This is as fascist as fascism gets.

Let’s be clear about this: They summoned the top military brass home from their posts, told them the Pentagon would no longer enforce rules of engagement b/c the military’s mission was to “hurt people and break things,” and then explicitly pointed them AT AMERICAN CITIES.

Police say they can’t arrest the thieves who cleared out my house as it was my responsibility to opt out of being robbed by them.
