One piece of Chicken. One piece of Broccoli. One corn tortilla. One other item. For you. For us:

1. Crush the MAGA murderers, give them no quarter, and salt the cursed earth from whence they came. 2. Crush the MAGA murderers, give them no quarter, and salt the cursed earth from whence they came. 3. Crush the MAGA murderers, give them no quarter, and salt the cursed earth from whence they…

I absolutely do not expect this to be popular, but it’s important, and I don’t make things to be popular anyway. I’m making this because this has to stop, this is going to destroy our chances in November, and that is the point. Never lose track of the point. 1/

The work printer won't connect to my computer after a software update, three people need to reschedule and they all want the same one-day window, a client is sending me 35 photos of a page each of requested documents... ...the Lord and Dry January are *testing* me.

While the pasty incels who work the federal agencies continue to churn out feeble, bloodless AI pastiches of Axis propaganda, here’s how a living breathing artist powerfully invokes design history. This is by illustrator Emily K in South Philly, a free poster-sized download on her website: →

Via Andrea Tinker: The Alabama House of Representatives Thursday approved a bill that would make state funding for Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library program permanent.

Canon Warden: *beams* Canon Hawker: says "Wait what--?" and trips over something. Canon Inquisitor: laughs for ten minutes, because she's a tattooed Carta dwarf. Canon Rook: says "Yeah, fighting darkspawn really clears the complexion. Until it doesn't."

A piece of chicken? *A* piece of broccoli? A single tortilla? Show me the store that sells those things. No wait, they'll be selling them soon, in tiny boxes labelled Patriot Freedom Rations or something. 🤬

God is CLEARLY pro trans rights

I'm glad you're delighted, but I haven't yet forgiven him for REDACTED's death in Battle Ground and I never will. Harry can continue on his trend of Extra-Special Manpain and Bonus Violence without me.

Wilmington, DE!!

This is an AMAZING bundle, and the only reason I'm not buying it is that I already own or have read 95% of the books in it. Which should be motive enough for people to take a look. 😉

🎵Come out La Migra goons In your stumbling platoons Tell your wives how you ate shit on ice for quotas Tell her how despite your guns all you ever did was run from the cold and frozen streets of Minnesota!🎵

It was on page 3 of a romance. The heroine said she had "tits and ass that'll put your eye out!" and I said "How painful" and quit. Spouse was reading a fantasy where a woman was being manipulated into sex, with the sentence "Love and authority seemed to resonate from his penis". He quit promptly.

The little Christmas Carol kittens are all up on Petfinder now and ready to find their forever families, as well as two of our Shakespearean ladies (as well as Shoyu, our longest resident, and the Auto Club family). Located in Elkton, MD. Check them all out at www.petfinder.com/search/pets-...

Came home from a hectic day (at least my hard work was noted and complimented), went down to check the laundry...and found water around the water heater ha ha ha ha FUCK.

Complimented McDonald’s lady on her nails and she lit up Give someone a random compliment today We can’t fix the world, but we can maybe be kind to each other

I love everyone on the Pitt and I'm happy to see them again, I'm so proud of Whitaker, Nurse Dana is still the queen of my heart, and Dr. Robby and Dr. Al need to angrily kiss for science.

"what are we going to do with 20,000 ICE agents if we abolish ice" well to start with I think we should all literally spit on them in public for the rest of their lives

For the evangelical crowd: “I’m a big fan of Jesus’s hot take that people should recognize His followers because of their love for everyone + assistance to anyone in need, but you do you, I guess.”

Reposting a hi-res scan of a daily comic from a few months back, so everyone knows where my cats stand on the issues

Episode one of S2 of The Pitt tonight! Sorry, spouse, but Dr. Robby and I have a date. It will probably involve blood and other bodily fluids, but I can adapt.

Happy birthday to the one and only Charles Addams.

To the person who called my spouse's phone twice in one minute last night at 11:30pm, thus overriding the DND and making us both wake up in a panic because we thought for sure someone had died: She gave you a fake number. We didn't get back to sleep for hours. I cordially hate you.

For Epiphany, this glorious 1966 illustration of the Three Kings by the great Eyvind Earle (1916 - 2000), best remembered for his enormous contribution to Disney Animation's visual style during the 1950s, particularly Sleeping Beauty (1959).

Did I watch Ted Lasso? Yes. Do I watch baseball with my spouse? Yes. Am I going to watch Heated Rivalry at some point? Probably! Do I honestly care who hits/kicks the ball/puck harder? Nope.

This was exactly my thought.

Doing this challenge called “January” where I try to make it through the whole month of January

I see it is a Day on the personal front (death in the family, car issues, big task looming at work) and in the wider world. Deep breaths. I have done what I can today, I will do what I can tomorrow, and so on. If that includes banging my head against the wall until anxiety-brain shuts up, so be it.

Just finished Jo Graham's Fortune's Favor, which brings my 2025 total of books read to 432. --53 rereads (although I skipped Hogfather this year in favor of A Christmas Carol) --98 completely new-to-me authors --Made an effort to read more nonfiction Not bad. On to 2026!

I am a tech person on a spaceship? Sorry, spaceship.

I am not in the headspace for a reread of an alt-history slow slide into fascism, but this is a good trilogy and if you want to start with book 1, here's your chance. One bit of small change at a time.

The only New Year’s resolutions you need: - haunt more forests - wander more moors - terrify more towns - draw more townsfolk towards their mossy doom with the awesome and terrible grandeur of your dark shambling form

Between monetary Christmas gifts and a B&N gift card, I mounted a double-pronged bookstore assault today via e-reader and an in-person visit (25% off everything, 50% off select hardbacks) and have...12 new books, plus a preorder for @stephanieburgis.bsky.social's newest in January. Yes. Yessssssss.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🥧🏒

I used to work at a bookstore in this mall, and I pity *all* of the employees at *all* the other stores who are going to get slimy children coming to find their parents and handle all the merchandise while doing so.

I want 2026 to be the year where we collectively stop rewarding negativity. Stop bringing others down to bring yourself up. Stop bringing attention to genuinely awful people. Stop ignoring people bringing positive changes to the world. We need more kindness and empathy. I’m dead serious

As a full-on practicing Christian currently having anti-ICE signs printed for her church, what a grotesque waste of time "Debating about God" is peak college sophomore nonsense. God is speaking in America every day, but not like this.

Accused sex criminal who dumped his wife by text says what? people.com/russell-bran...

Mediocre men getting demolished by professional women is my new drug

Apparently my comment in defense of Calvin and Hobbes is well-liked? Well, I'm glad to have found something that we can all agree on, and glad that that something is "Leave Bill Watterson alone, he's not going to be tempted by money, die mad about it Minecraft Movie Man".

The way this would fix me

Do you need a space grifter and a space officer with equal parts mistrust and chemistry, plus the takedown of a trillionaire who's just too dumb to realize he's despised and being manipulated? Then get these books, read them, and thank me later!

ICE is in South Jersey

It has been a year of fractured victories and stinging defeats for this regime. They expected to have more power and more success by now. But no. They've been defeated as much by their own incompetence as by any opposition. Time is running out and they know it. May 2026 unravel them completely.

I would pit her against my husband in a Tolkien Trivia Battle, he would emerge triumphant and with Anduril in hand.

Before anyone asks, it's The Princess Bride. I loved it from the first time I saw it (on a bus during a middle-school field trip), I love it to this day, spouse and I own three DVDs/Blu-Rays with different behind-the-scenes featurettes. "This is true love. Do you think this happens every day?"

RIP Rob and Michele.
