Chris from the new season of Love is Blind looks like a perfect blend of Elijah Wood and Sean Astin. #loveisblind

If someone had told me ten years ago that in 2026, there could be evidence of the president raping and threatening to kill children, and he would *still* be allowed to stay in office, I would have politely asked them to put down the meth pipe.

Someone doused Renee Good’s Minneapolis memorial and a nearby pile of wood with gasoline and started a fire at about 9 p.m. Tuesday.

Any political party spreading lies about voter fraud as a pretext to make it harder for every one to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone. Remember this.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

Federal prosecutors in Minnesota were preparing to start a civil rights investigation into Renee Good’s shooting. Then top administration officials intervened and ordered them to stop, triggering a wave of resignations in the process. What is the regime trying to hide from us?

Ocean Beach this morning… just wow!!

It should not take a court order to get a toddler out of a prison.

If a doctor tells you you’ll be able to go back to work the same day or day after a surgery, they are fibbing. This is my hand three days later when I still can’t use it with a keyboard or mouse.

🔥 @markruffalo.bsky.social : “I gotta be honest, I’m not feeling so great. Renee Good was murdered... stormtroopers running around terrorizing. As much as I love all this, I can’t pretend all this crazy stuff isn’t happening. We have a president who says laws don’t apply to him- this is crazy.”

I’ve begun watching Bridgerton and I fear it may be the best show I’ve ever seen.

They keep calling Will a sorcerer in Stranger Things…but wouldn’t he be more like a warlock?

Y'all, #Christmas came early. #TheDoubleTax, my author debut, was named one of the TOP FIVE BEST SCIENCE BOOKS of 2025 by the @latimes.com @ologies.bsky.social. I NEVER in a million years expected this and I am exceedingly grateful and overwhelmed by this honor. WOW. 😭 #GodsPlan #blacksky #booksky

James Talarico: The Bible doesn't mention abortion or gay marriage, but it goes on and on about forgiving debt, liberating the poor, and healing the sick. The closest thing we have to the kingdom of heaven is a multiracial, multicultural democracy where power is truly shared among all people

Is it me or is music today just faster? Songs get made, shared, reacted to, and replaced in the time it used to take a chorus to settle in. Every now and then one still asks you to sit down, though. Those are the ones worth keeping.

How do I tell apple to never under any circumstances use my phone as a webcam and to stop harassing me about it?

Sounds about right.

This infuriates me. They're embedding an AI in Kindles that is empowered to analyze our books without our permission and tell the reader about them....likely inaccurately. We have no recourse. writerbeware.blog/2025/12/12/k...

It should be mandatory that all credit cards and loans be paired with a savings account with an identical interest rate to combat predatory lending.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

ICE raids are cruel, inhumane, and do nothing to serve public safety. My responsibility is to be the mayor to each and every person that calls this city their home. That includes millions of immigrants— of which I am one.

Behind this important reversal is a member of the Coast Guard who saw what was happening and had the courage to leak it to the press. That person deserves serious praise.

Zohran flip your hair again we need healthcare get him to give us healthcare.

When I started writing my current WiP I was nervous I wouldn’t have enough story to make it to 100k words. I’m now at just over 110k words and there’s a solid chunk of novel left. 😬

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

A convicted felon who had also been found liable for sexual assault and committed additional crimes in plain sight was close with a notorious child sex trafficker and likely participated in some of those crimes too got elected with much of that known and spent his presidency railing against “crime.”

The thing that frustrates me the most about writing serials as how people don't take serials seriously until they are ebooks and paperbacks. My serialized novel is still a novel even though I am publishing it episodically. I go just as hard for my serials as I do for my regular books.

Tonight I hit 107k words on my manuscript! Very close to the end now!

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful. Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened. This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

These 8 useless Democratic Senators are all wealthy and have feathered themselves a lovely retirement nest. They don't need to be in these positions anymore. They can amble away into the privileged nothingness that defines their spinelessness and lack of courage. Demand more and better, folks.

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

Next year when everyone’s insurance premiums skyrocket and republicans blame it on democrats and lots of people continue to say “both sides are the same” even after the shutdown and everything that went into stopping this is gonna be real wild.

Wrote a thing about agents. If you’re a new writer or are actively querying, hope this helps keep you safe! gabinoiglesias.substack.com/p/too-many-s...

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

who creates the lively art and music scenes if the rent is too high? who makes cultural life? who serves you food or washes your dishes? who creates the fancy little restaurants that draw you to urban living? affordable housing is at the heart of what makes city life worthwhile.

Dante has his own bed but he likes to be close to Kennedy. Also he is very cold and needs sweaters.

KIMMEL: “He’s gunning for our journalists too — they want to pick and choose what the news is… it’s so important to have a free press, and it’s nuts we aren’t paying more attention to it.”

Kimmel: "The President of the United States made it very clear he wants to see me and the hundreds of people who work here fired from our jobs. Our leader celebrates Americans losing their livelihoods because he cannot take a joke."

Newsom: "I fear that we will not have an election in 2028 -- I really mean that in the core of my soul -- unless we wake up to the code red, what's happening in this country, and we wake up soberly to how serious this moment is."

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

My only piece of writing advice is that if your thing DOESN'T include characters saying things like this, it is bad and you should throw it out

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

I really wanted to ride 1000 miles this year, and I hit it today!!!!

Finally started the second Malazan book of the fallen book something like five years after finishing the first one. I forgot how good his writing is. The quality is shockingly good.

After you reboot a Mac you can’t use your fingerprint to unlock it until after you enter your password…shouldn’t it be the other way around?!
