GOP voter in high dudgeon: The man *I* believed I was voting for rapes *adults.*

once again I'm begging and pleading with someone in the press to draw this obvious connection between trump/epstein and trump's precision defunding of programs that assist women who are the victims of domestic and sexual abuse

Predictable but still amazing to watch people who spent literally years accusing every librarian, teacher, and trans person they could find of sexually grooming children suddenly throw themselves in with "actually it's ephebophilia"

I'm so honored to see THE TONTINE CAPER on this list, in the company of some really great books! Thank you, Evanston Public Library! 🥳

I'm losing my mind over how many reviewers are like "GDT's Frankenstein makes you wonder who the real monster is." THAT'S THE STORY! That's the story Shelley wrote!

👏👏👏

🥪🦸‍♂️ WE ARE ALL SANDWICH GUY‼️

we now know that it’s not illegal to throw sandwiches at ICE agents, an important development

Speaking of officers…

Microsoft keeps playing a commercial for Copilot where they're selling it as you can speak to the computer! I do not want to speak to the computer, just like I didn't want to speak to the TV remote, the oven, the Alexa, Siri, and whatever other robot you tried to foist upon me. No words for you.

Fantastic line up! Thanks for including THE TONTINE CAPER!

When you guessed the solution to the mystery in Chapter 3 and you're still waiting for the main characters to figure it out in Chapter 12.

Just starting the second episode of THE GIRLFRIEND on Amazon Video. I like the girlfriend. I can't stand her rich boyfriend, his horrible mother (played by Robin Wright), and all their friends. Girlfriend should run, run, run as far and as fast as she can. Sigh. But she won't ...

I shouldn't be shocked, but I'm still always brought up short to realize how many people think "civility" means "white people speaking in relatively calm voices" no matter what vile shit they say.

rarely have I more acutely felt the dynamic by which Dems are held responsible for the rhetoric of every random left-leaning person on the internet and Republicans are not even asked to answer for their own personal words

It is weird that the assassination of essentially a celebrity influencer is a bigger deal than the shooting of two top state legislators + their spouses

This afternoon, in addition to Charlie Kirk, there was a school shooting. Bullets don't know and don't care if you are a Republican or Democrat. It is time for Republicans and Democrats to find a way to work together to reduce gun violence. www.wcpo.com/us-news/crim...

The shooting of Charlie Kirk was the 46th school shooting of the year. The 47th one happened moments afterwards. www.cnn.com/2025/09/10/u...

The problem with allowing guns everywhere is that no one is safe anywhere.

Yeah, we're cooked. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8S8pVQq/

Literally the second meme I've made in my life.

Happy 74th birthday, singer, songwriter, guitarist, and founding member of the Pretenders Chrissie Hynde. 🎂

I am 1% into a Kindle Unlimited read and considering bailing based on the author’s unlikely description of cooking risotto. The book is a thriller, not a cook book. BUT STILL.

RKF Jr is not just politicizing HHS and public health. This is a vastly gross understatement. RFK Jr. policies are bringing back dangerous deadly diseases to deliberately sicken the country and kill off many vulnerable citizens, he’s committing murder.

I have a hot water bottle. If it gets too hot I kick it out of bed. If it gets cold I put an extra blanket on the bed or refill the hot water bottle. How are these people even

Ugh. This is giving me unhappy flashbacks to my pre-retirement years. (Truth? I faked it. Left the same garbage up for days, changed a word or two if needed ... The students knew. They were in on the scam with me.)

AI is a wonder technology that is going to change every industry, which is why - people have to be forced to use it - people have to be tricked into paying for it - people who do use it on purpose have to hide it from their peers to avoid being mocked

Fuck it, they killed him live.

The thing about the Epstein disgustingness that strikes me hardest is that hundreds of rich old men raped underage girls and the only person currently in jail for that vile behavior is a woman.

Cut taxes for the rich, cut benefits for the poor, then have your talking heads tell everyone they should just work til they die. The Republican agenda.

New: Weather warnings gave officials a 3 hour and 21 minute window to save lives in Kerr County. But if any local officials got those warnings, and if so, whether they activated in any meaningful way in those hours remains a black box.

If your response to hearing that a bunch of people died in a flash flood is anything other than heartbreak and compassion I think you might be the baddies

And people told me I was overreacting in comparing the concentration camp to Auschwitz. They're not being subtle about what they want to do

Don’t look away! They’ll play it off as a joke but IT IS NOT. It’s never been about illegal immigrants. It’s an ethnic cleansing of America. 😡

When we say "joy is resistance" that's not just empty words. Fascists want to crush that joy. They want you scared and reactionary. Stories inspire and give respite, and reflect our humanity back at us. That's extremely important in times like these. Also, authors also need to pay their bills. +

I just saw a post where someone was criticizing authors for posting about their books while things are terrible, and let me tell you something: they want us to give up. People who dwell *only* in the horrors are easier to control and distract, to send into despair spirals. We have to keep living. +

😄

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process. But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things. That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

If random men in masks claiming to be ICE agents try to grab me, and they’re *not* really ICE, I have the legal right to defend myself against them, yes? And if they are ICE, I don’t? So how am I supposed to tell the difference? I’m supposed to give my masked kidnappers the benefit of the doubt??

But when I asked why he still comes when it dredges such painful memories, "Because I have to."

Posted up at a local bar for a sammy and a beer while I file my story about today's protests. but here's a story y'all might appreciate. While I was there I saw and older gentleman with this sign.

[Exit King.]

This is heartbreaking. (via someone at the St. Paul rally)

there’s got to be some kind of statute of limitations on this crap. I get moral hazard, I get all of that, it’s just completely insane to say that this guy who built an American life for 30 years isn’t American.

AOC: When they say illegal vs legal immigration—they are trying to end legal status in the US making people undocumented and then they have the audacity to call them illegal when they were here documented.
