Whoa Nat 20 on Charisma!!

someone's gotta do something about all these quislings

just some documentation of our decidedly non-monarchial constitutional republic for no reason #originalpronunciation #usconstitution #nokings #narrator

It's the first Monday in October which means the Supreme Court is back in session. Here's my preview of all the cruelty and evil they will visit upon us this term. My *cover story* in @thenation.com :) www.thenation.com/article/soci...

JB Pritzker and Gavin Newsom are doing something new and important: They understand Stephen Miller's theory of fascist power politics, and they've developed a theory on how to combat it. More Dems need to reckon with Miller's understanding of the moment. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2014...

Be not afraid.

A live duet narration session this Saturday on Discord! This utterly original steampunk-y fantasy by @jackfields.bsky.social is one of the most beautiful series I've ever narrated, and it's been such a gift to do it alongside @neilhellegers.com 🎧 discord.gg/ReadMyLips

By the pricking of my thumbs, Something wicked this way comes.

I’ll repeat.

Mad world, mad kings, mad composition! -KJ, Act II, scene 1

Were Aime Césaire alive to conduct a structural analysis of the advancing militarization of American law enforcement since 9/11, I suspect he would have understood DHS as a template for how Imperial Boomerangs operate in the 21st century. Me for @zeteo.com on LA, and what led to it.

Thus may we gather honey from the weed, And make a moral of the devil himself.

Really loving our new weekly national tradition of asking the Supreme Court "hey, are there laws?" and getting back "I guess," 7-2 with Alito and Thomas dissenting

newsrooms of the world did u know that when Rümeysa Öztürk gets out you can pay her to write an editorial, and then publish it? did u know that if all of you did this it would be a whole thing and a good one

Leo XIV? What about Bob?

I don’t mean to alarm anyone, but the orcas now have two F/A-18 Hornets

The greatest trick the Emperor ever pulled was convincing the galaxy the Rebellion was the Empire

Could you imagine if the head of the United States healthcare system didn’t believe that HIV caused AIDS? …And that instead they believed that AIDS is caused by recreational drugs (“poppers”) used by gay people? Oh wait…🥴

heckuva time to rewatch this treasure of an episode...!

“The Indestructibles is a thrilling and action-packed book featuring a group of young #superheroes. The audiobook, narrated by a talented cast, further elevates the story...” Listen to The Indestructibles by @matthewphillion.bsky.social. #audiobooks #fantasy #fullcastaudio #throwbackthursday

Suspicion always haunts the guilty mind

Happy Birth and Death Day to @shakespeare.lol!

BREAKING: THE MUMMY (1999) is low key a perfect Passover movie: • explores all 10 Plagues • takes place in Egypt • themes of Supernatural Intercedence v. Oppression • lot of hot people in it

Sending people to foreign prisons isn’t a debate about immigration policy. Telling private universities who they must hire and what they must teach isn’t about antisemitism. Destroying the economy thru tariffs isn’t about revitalizing American industry. It’s all about power and domination.

The audiobook for The Scarlet Blade by @jackfields.bsky.social is out today! Jack joined myself and co-narrator @neilhellegers.com for a conversation on Discord about his wonderful series. Listen here: soundcloud.com/tess-irondal...

We’re fighting antisemitism on college campuses. That’s why we pulled Holocaust history from the library of the Naval Academy but left two copies of Mein Kampf.

Just a reminder that this roundtable interview with myself, @neilhellegers.com and @jackfields.bsky.social kicks off today at 1:00pm Easter at www.discord.gg/readmylips 🎧

I think our country sinks beneath the yoke: It weeps, it bleeds, and each new day a gash Is added to her wounds.

Come listen to us grill each other on our respective work on this grill-worthy series!

Maybe the April Fools was the 2025 we met along the way

Confirming, as was obvious from context already, that this wasn’t a one-off. They are routinely using Signal to evade statutory record retention requirements.

Looking forward to the release of the full Signal chat, so we can totally see everyone saying at the beginning "wow a Signal chat? How totally unprecedented and something we def haven't been using amply to get around archival laws but anyway f'n Europe amirite"

Just think about all the wildy illegal group chats they *didn't* accidentally add a reporter to

Millie is currently clean on OPSEC

Now, justice on the doers!

Breaking: FDA's March meeting to select flu shot strains for 2025-2026 season has been canceled per email sent to committee members, a VRBPAC member told me. drug companies need about 6 months leeway to make shots in time for fall vax campaigns. #healthpolicy

Truth.

I was against Hochul removing an elected official based on allegations. Now, now that it’s clear that Eric Adams is willing to abrogate his official responsibilities in order to curry favor with the presidential administration in exchange for a non prosecution agreement, she has to remove him.
