Pls read my blog which contains the words: "Four men in camo waders are in the pool. Water, the color of fresh Mountain Dew, laps at their thighs as they dredge the bottom with poles like cranberry farmers on a faraway radioactive planet."

It's #FreeRPGDay and that means I have, as usual, added a bunch more community copies to things on itch! It's really chug-a-lugging over there though, so idk, do your best! They'll be there! jen-adcock15.itch.io

this is a terrific opening paragraph for a dystopian pulp novel released in 1997

But I do know what Bitcoin and cryptocurrency is. It’s 1) a method of money laundering criminal financials 2) the largest pyramid scheme in human history and 3) a clear and present danger to social safety nets

You have sprocketed your final toad.

I just backed PsiRun Second Edition on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/117...

CNN says they sent samples of the reflecting pool algae off for testing, and two independent reports identified it as "Scenedesmus" (the reporter did not say whether he was referring to the genus or the species, I'm going to assume genus but both are discussed here:) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scenede...

This is the fundraising page for the 15 people indicted on "Antifa" charges for allegedly participating in rapid response networks and protests against the ICE occupation of the Twin Cities. chuffed.org/project/1865... All funds raised will go directly to supporting the defendants through trial.

Trump’s “it can only good happen” is wildly useful for understanding his governing philosophy (such as it is) and it’s also good to remember the context in which he coined it, a Sept ‘25 presser for the purpose of RFK Jr blaming acetaminophen for natal issues. www.rev.com/transcripts/...

While it’s true that Trump just believes there’s no ceiling to anti-trans popularity, it’s clearly also true that there are several active and motivated eugenicists within his admin that won’t stop until they are stopped, and them losing in both legislative and judicial arenas is essential

The internet always wins….

Another horrible day to have object permanence and functioning memory.

please step away from the lathe, Robert

Not only is war hard, but it also costs a lot, much more than you could possibly ever gain by going to war in the first place. This is why only morons start wars in the 21st century.

While reading this, I was thinking, "it's the Fugitive Slave Act of 1851 all over again," but you were already there.

The mifespristone case shows that the abortion federalism promised by Dobbs was a lie—the goal is to ban abortion everywhere, even if that means forcing pro choice states like New York to enforce abortion bans passed by anti-choice states. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Which characters from Shakespeare are the most Boomer-coded? Titania and Oberon. I will not be taking questions at this time.

After the tarp went up to try and stop the “Berlin Wall” moment, Cliff Owen of the AP got the iconic 📸 shot. 🇺🇸

I keep expecting Trump to be shouting in the ellipse that Doug Bergum didn’t have the courage to do what needs to be done, and that the crowd should all walk down to the Kennedy Center or they won’t have a presenting theater anymore

Thread.

In closeup photos, birds almost always look seriously pissed off. It’s their resting face after ruling the world for hundreds of millions of years as dinosaurs, then being nearly annihilated by an asteroid, and then replaced by a fucking mammal. One hell of a resting face.

The violence in Belfast is a reminder of something I don’t want to take for granted: The fascists here hoped the response to the depredations of ICE would be similar, with people turning in or attacking their neighbors. That it was the very opposite is worth remembering in this season of despair

Today I’m playing a trial round of Hide + Seek, The Home Game by @jetlagthegame.bsky.social. My 19-yo and I will be riding the #10 bus all day long. I’ll post updates in this thread.

I'm starting to think that maybe Donald Trump does not have the command over the course of events that he has publicly portrayed himself as having

/3 Video here, among other places. What a douche. www.idahostatejournal.com/judge-ryan-d...

Trump demanding better Iran deal than Obama's is revealing. It shows he's unable to grasp why Iran might be less likely to give him his way, due to his own actions. He doesn't grasp the situation at a fundamental level. Exchange w/ @emilyhorne.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/2114...

Danny Trejo. It’s going to take me a long time to engineer a seafaring vessel.

Ok so a twist on the deserted island movie game. This time you can have the filmography of any actor, but ONLY where they aren’t a lead. Supporting roles, bits, and cameos only. Me? I’m taking Michael Caine, even though it means I don’t get my beloved Muppet Christmas Carol.

Blanche shows that Trump was willing to give up on the money he never had a right to, but is resolute on shielding himself from any future audit. Blanche oh-so-carefully treats this audacity as if it’s boring legal process and completely regular, while never articulating the specifics. Horrible.

I'm reasonably sure that both sides only want one thing: "the other side has to admit that I won and they were humiliated". And I'm not sure either sides care at all about the cost of the war in lives or money. Seems like a pretty fundamental problem.

I saw chaos inside and outside of the ICE detention center Delaney Hall today. Detainees protesting the lack of due process, the disgusting food and poor treatment while their families and advocates stood outside calling for help. 1/4

Big picture it's still so crazy how wars are just started on the president's whim now and congress has to vote to stop them

"The oligarchs want a permanent ruling class. The extremists want a permanent underclass to grind a boot into. The deal between them is straightforward enough: the oligarchs get captured courts and permanent tax cuts, the extremists get their hierarchy of human worth written back into the law"

Trump, hosting law enforcement officials at the White House, is ranting and raving unendingly about the "reflecting pond" renovations. Beyond parody.

Homonyms in English don’t often bug me, but “aural” and “oral” are a really annoying exception to that rule

I can tell you that times are tough for independent journalists and publications right now. If there a few that you like and have some spare coin, now would be a good time to toss them a sub. I run burnsnotice.com and publish at least twice weekly. It is $4/mo or $40/year to sub.

There’s only one answer for me

History books are going to be really annoying with students having to memorize an endless number of less-than-60-day military actions of the US targeting Iran in some way
