"political violence is never acceptable," is a phrase you don't hear politicians say after cops beat the shit out of peaceful demonstrators

Suozzi has been awful for a long time. The joy of giving George Santos the hook was definitely offset by putting this schmuck back into a position of visibility and power.

Sharing. So important.

I mean, I blame every president of the last 40 years for driving this notion home and expanding the power of the executive with each successive occupant of the White House, plus the President + Supreme Court combo has had things on lock since hanging chads

Remember, kids: A real big goal of "AI" is to entirely sever capital from labor, and no, there will be no universal basic income, you can all just starve and die, thanks www.axios.com/2025/08/26/a...

Don't Do Me Like That (Actually, pretty much the whole DAMN THE TORPEDOS album)

I’ve heard from a couple of messaging strategists now that people shouldn’t post so much about COVID19 vaccines because it’s “divisive”. I am here to say that I do not give a damn what is popular. I will never ignore scientific evidence for the sake of expediency, and neither should anyone else.

You're undoubtedly the villain in someone's life. Try not to be the villain in *almost everyone's**

Live your life such that everyone doesn’t spend ten solid years planning the rager they’re going to throw when you die.

so, CA already did something like EO-14321 at newsom’s direction, but now we also have a federal order to institutionalize “undesirable” people these “clearings” find. gavin newsom is an amoral opportunist only interested in his own advancement. this is who he is behind his little tweets.

A quick reminder: trans women, and trans people in general, remain massively underrepresented among mass shooters specifically and members of the fascist right more generally

The single most important thing to understand about digital futurism is this: When the digital future that Sam Altman ( or Elon, or Andreessen, etc) predicts fails to materialize, he doesn’t have to give the money back.

Writers, keep writing. Do not buy into the hype train telling you your job will be replaced in a few years. Those using AI are literally atrophying their brains ability to be creative. The future will need your words, your creativity, to function well. publichealthpolicyjournal.com/mit-study-fi...

I have never seen so many public servants protest the mismanagement of a government. Trumpists will point to this as proof of the deep state, but the reality is that these are professionals who are desperately trying to get the public to understand how bad things are.

Please please help me spread the word! I've been to Atlanta a few times, but I don't know as many folks there as I do in Seattle or LA. So I would really *massively* appreciate any and all help letting ATL folks know about this event. 🍑💖📚

According to federal data, 13 of the top 20 cities in homicide rates have Republican governors. None of those cities are Chicago. 8 of the top 10 states in homicide rates are led by Republicans. None of those states are Illinois. And yet Trump is sending troops here.

Those who have the power to stop mass shootings can go to hell with their "thoughts and prayers." Do something about it, you evil bastards.

Instead of meeting the moment, Mayor Bowser has apparently chosen to send the moment a postcard from Peru.

DUCK SOUP. Firefly (Groucho) judges Chicolini's trial.

Do folks know that there are teams of people out in DC EVERY NIGHT until all hours to record what ICE. DHS, MPD etc are doing? I don't think those outside DC know that. They think people are passive or in support. Total lie. There's so much going on here. Hope other cities take tactical note.

The DOJ released the security video of Epstein's jail in parts so they could take out anything inconvenient. The DOJ released the Maxwell/Blanche transcript in parts so they could take out anything inconvenient. Such an obvious cover-up.

"Temporary Scamperbeast" is the lead single from McCartney IV.

Piss pants Republicans afraid of black people are now threatening to send the military to NYC and Chicago because they’re piss pants babies who fear black people.

If the AI bubble really is bursting, please take this lesson from it: Nothing marketed to you this relentlessly is ever worth it. If it was, they wouldn’t need to beg you.

New article! On "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and the plutocrat class ripping America apart: sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/my-friend-...

It's like Sir Pterry's quote about THE LORD OF THE RINGS being the Mt. Fuji of fantasy, both in that it points out the way newer works exist in conversation with older work *and* that while it was true(r) when he said it, is less true now, because newer authors are in conversation with other works.

"I've Known No War," the Who.

The greatest dedication in the history of the publishing industry. Thank you Sir Pterry.

It’s really remarkable. Trump’s people save a powerful pederast amidst a growing outcry that the President has raped children, and the media ignores. Weird. Suspicious. And weird.

He’s a Confederate Soviet Stan who loves dictators and hires Nazi history buffs and was best friends with the world’s most notorious pedophile for decades and he ran teen beauty pageants for years and his only focus is stealing money and he hates you and thinks his own supporters are morons too.

Maverick. Such a fun movie, even if Mel Gibson is a shitbag.

Gotta throw in a vote for Willy Wonka.

It's between A Fish Called Wanda and Trading Places.

The fact that institutions like Harvard were so quick to capitulate to Trump’s shakedowns should alert you to the fact USA is in much more trouble than most folks seem to realize.

And once again the facade cracks and Mayor Pete becomes the McKinsey-bot version of an acceptable gay man. (I like Mayor Pete, but this is who he is.)

The first one I can remember was Matthew Looney's Invasion of the Earth by Jerome Beatty.

For the folks suggesting I'm promoting science fiction works from this millennium because I want an extra sale or two 1. I assure you I am doing fine, thanks for your concern 2. Otherwise FUCK YES support currently living/working writers please and thank you, they need to eat and live in a house

When you see Cuomo attacking Mamdani over his rent stabilized one bedroom in Queens, do recall this please:

Does anyone remember a very old SNL skit based around the question, "What if baby Jor-El's rocket had landed in Nazi Germany?" Just asking. No reason why.

one of the most infuriating parts of the Epstein story is over the same years that young women went to police and reported assault, and were ignored, law enforcement is pushing this idea that they need massive grants and manpower to rescue thousands of girls they say don’t even know they’re victims

In other, equally realistic news, I am to announce my pending marriage to Jennifer Connelly.

Legacy media keep referring to the Epstein cover-up as a “scandal,” when they should be calling it a crime.
