Did not know that food banks don't pay sales tax, so their dollar can stretch more!! Cash donate to your local food bank!!

This is the correct explanation of what happened tonight👇

Yes. This. Say it louder.

The pedophile rapist conman criminal currently occupying the presidency is doing everything he can to ensure that Americans are hungry and suffering. And his entire party is helping him, while they cover up his crimes. Fuck Trump and fuck everyone who supports him.

Reposting this for anyone who missed it. A new blog about Lego, and a new episode of It's Storytime.

The fact that 30% of our stock market is wrapped up in “help-kids-kill-themselves” technology seems to be an important datapoint in the evolution of late stage capitalism.

Trashing air traffic control To protect a child rapist Starving Americans To protect a child rapist Self-immolating Congress To protect a child rapist Crashing healthcare To protect a child rapist It’s not more complex, moral, or dignified. Call them: 202-224-3121 #RemoveTrump #GOPShutdowm

We finished season one of The Pitt tonight. Wow. What an incredible show. What a cast. 10/10

New blog on my blog.

Yet another digital comic book app, Sweet Shop, launched its beta today with 24 publishers. Biggest selling point, per the press release? "As part of their commitment to the hard work of creators and publishers, Sweet Shop does not accept AI comics." sweetshop.app

I'm thrilled to have one of my stories read by @wilwheaton.net for his podcast "It's Storytime with Wil Wheaton." The most recent story on the show is "The Odyssey Problem" from @clarkesworldmagazine.com . Here's the "Storytime" main page with links to listening options: wilwheaton.net/podcast/

Workin'

I'm ready for apologies from pundits and politicians who showed their bigoted asses and suggested we needed to abandon trans people in order to win. looks like "fairness in girls' sports" wasn't the unbeatable wedge issue you thought it was, was it? kinda makes you look like a dumbass, huh?

Yooooooo big ups to voters who understood the assignment, and a very merry go fuck yourself to Trump and everyone who supports him. The beginning of the end of him is upon us.

Relieved that voters resoundingly rejected this fascist bullshit. Angry that we still have at least another year of it, probably another three, and that we're by no means in the clear. Livid that it all could have been avoided if we had simply not reelected the asshole who tried a coup.

Democratic party leadership has been on autopilot for ten years, they weren't losing to fascism, fascism isn't popular enough for them to lose to fascism, they were allowing it to fill the void where their leadership should have been. Tonight we're seeing that we have other options. They should too.

Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

There are more of us than there are of them.

this was fun. let’s do it again.

This person took this when they called the race

Way to go, California!

LOL he is crashing out so hard.

At this point, every single journalist needs to have a simple one-sheet of the major news events that Mike Johnson and his toadies claim to have not seen, or know nothing about. Like, hand it to them. "Okay, here. Take your time. I can wait." Call their bluff, ffs. This is absurd.

dear god what have i done blacksky.community/profile/did:...

It's @pbs's birthday! Formed on November 3, 1969, @pbs is an American public broadcaster and non-commercial, free-to-air television network. PBS is a nonprofit organization and the most prominent provider of educational programs to public television stations in the United States.

Screaming! @wilwheaton.net have you seen this?!

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting. now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

Jesus. I was just thinking yesterday, when People was putting Trump on blast, how Teen Vogue also was one of those magazines that wasn’t created to do hard-hitting politics but really rose to the moment back in Trump 1, unlike almost all other ones that should have. This is a real legit blow.

Last night at D&D. Final battle. All but two of us making death saves. The dwarf barbarian slams into the big bad from behind, knocking all 16 feet of it over, toppling it over toward the rogue, who has one chance to hit. He desperately holds up his dagger ... AND HE FUCKING CRITS IT IN THE EYE.

You are not a patriot if you have contempt for people who use SNAP benefits to eat while simultaneously not caring about a $300 million dollar ballroom, you are exactly what they molded you to be, a pawn in their game to divide us and enrich themselves. Congratulation, you lose.

This is from Autocracy, Inc, about how modern autocratic propaganda works. I consider this every time I decide what to share and how to frame it.

Fires. The military occupation. The ongoing paramilitary occupation. Repeated attacks on peaceful demonstrations by local cops. Continued hardships as the studios don't do more production in the city. Los Angeles is struggling this year. This win means a lot.

I grew up with Dodger baseball. Vin Scully was always in the air every summer, and a few lucky autumns. That was the most exciting game seven of the most exciting world series I can remember. Respect to all of the Blue Jays, except the dirty cheater George Springer. Way to go, Dodgers!

Well, this is a story all about how, this game got flipped turned upside down . . . .

Also, L.A. has had a really rough year, with the fire hurricane and Trump's thugs marauding through the streets every day. A little good news for us is welcome. We're going to pass prop 50 on Tuesday too.

The results are in: the following entries have all miraculously tied for first place in the contest for Best Halloween Costume of 2025!

OpenAI is a social arsonist.

"JPMorgan had made repeated efforts to alert regulators to concerns surrounding Epstein by filing suspicious activity reports. “'It does not appear that anyone in the government or law enforcement acted on those SARs for years,' a spokesperson for the bank Told The Independent." ⏲️ 🥭

Canada says “elbows up.” I say for America, “cameras out.” Film every last one of these brutal criminals. We will need the evidence for their trials.

Dodgers!

Trump is such a sickening pig.

Folks, please note this. The top military official overseeing Trump's boat bombings recently resigned with no explanation, and now Republicans in Congress are refusing to press for his testimony even in a classified setting. Lots of new behind-the-scenes reporting in this piece:

It’s a sad day when a judge has to order the President of the United States to feed vulnerable families and hungry children with funds already designated for that very purpose.

"This has nothing to do with policy. This certainly has nothing to do with leadership. It’s just a Presidency that is there to troll people it doesn’t like. That’s literally all they do." Great column from @mmasnick.bsky.social at Techdirt that dovetails with what I've been thinking.

Friendly reminder that Republicans are garbage, entirely devoid of empathy, compassion, or honor. They are terrified little babies who are filled with hate, scared to death of anything they don't understand. And they don't understand most things, because they are also deeply incurious.
