What the fuck do you mean I got a longer prison sentence than Diddy

I did the work today but had to take a few breaks because :::gestures widely:::

what a humiliating way for don jr. to find out his dad sends birthday cards.

The psychics said he’d be gone by late August. It’s 9/1. *sigh*

A federal EV tax credit worth up to $7,500 ends Sept. 30. But the IRS has just clarified that shoppers don't need to actually have the keys in hand by the deadline to get the credit.

Republicans and union-busting brands will post “Happy #LaborDay,” knowing damn well that they were the types of people Labor fought against to bring us: - minimum wages - overtime pay - 8 hr workday and a 40 hr week - end to child labor - workplace safety Support unions.

long weekend at bernie's

Well, isn’t this exactly what you’d expect. Maurene Comey, the Manhattan federal prosecutor who helped lead the criminal cases against Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, was abruptly fired today by the Trump administration.

A win! The Senate has agreed to restore roughly $400 million in funding for PEPFAR, the landmark HIV/AIDS program launched under President Bush that’s credited with saving millions of lives around the world. Keep speaking up, it makes a difference.

Can somebody please just do it?

I’m at the garage getting new pads & rotors and lemme assure you, the tariffs are already an issue and not just because of price. Importers have pulled back on stocking OEM and aftermarket parts.

Prime Day is such a scam. I bought a bidet a few months ago. It’s now *checks notes* ONE CENT cheaper but listed as 24% off.

The entire Latino population in the U.S. is 65 million. She means all of us.

What an absolute douche nozzle. I said what I said.

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work. You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules. Get your lies straight.

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

“It’s just a distractio-“ SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LET US HAVE A NICE DAY FOR ONCE

If we really want to get a duo back together, please let it be Hall & Oates. #bromance #divorce #yachtrockmebaby

Since June is Pride month and I’ll be open to submissions the first 10 days, I want to be extra clear that I always love getting queries from LGBTQIA+ writers and illustrators. #MSWL

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

Tom Homan, one of the top officials behind the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, is facing questions after it was revealed he was paid by a private prison company that stands to profit from the government’s detention policies.

“Abolish ICE” is the moderate position. Radical is “prosecute every ICE employee under RICO.”

Having now watched the footage and interview two of the members who were there, the amount of armed, masked federal agents surrounding three members of Congress and a mayor outside the ICE facility was totally unnecessary; the only possible reason for it was intentional escalation and intimidation.

At 6pm last night I received an offer from an editor to expand the parameters of a deal. We emailed back & forth until 9:30pm. At 8am this morning I was able to accept. These situations always remind me of an old Twitter thread/war from a dinosaur. Practices have evolved, time is a construct. 🦖

Everyone in the past was neurotypical, which is how we got things like this single-author, eight-volume encyclopedia of ferns

I have two sets of houseguests this week and zero energy to clean. Wheeeee…

*cough* Can we start referring to this as Trump’s War on Christmas? #twodolls

Ruth Buzzi! 😭

Paramount isn’t getting sued — they’re getting extorted. This is Trump’s way of controlling the press through threats of frivolous lawsuits while personally profiting off the presidency.

Guess who made another oopsie on Signal? Yep, that idiot.

I just read his Easter message and my second hand embarrassment is off the chart. 😩

The Food and Drug Administration is scrambling to hire contractors to replace fired employees who helped plan thousands of food and drug safety inspections throughout the world.

Me on a Zoom call today which included a man from/in Canada and another from/in Germany: Hi, wanna get married?

The week was dominated by news about the Maryland man illegally deported to El Salvador. But there was also concern over tariffs and Robert F. Kennedy's work as Health and Human Services secretary.

Ham-handed. I love this guy.

uhhhhh...

That @michellewitte.bsky.social sent me a manuscript that made me burst into tears and I’m not talking to her for the rest of the day. :::blows nose:::

Some personal news…

seems like someone might be panican

It's good that Trump partly folded in response to EU retaliation & a stock market collapse, but a 10% tariff on the world and 125% on China, plus an added atmosphere of chaos and unpredictability, is so much worse than the status quo ante that we would have been called alarmists for predicting it.

Who did this?

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers. Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

Something I was telling myself tonight that some of you may also need to hear: Be gentle with yourself. You weren't able to get as much done today as you'd hoped, but that's okay. You can start again tomorrow. The next few months might be tough, so give yourself the grace that you give to others.

I approve.
