They really need to stop because sooner or later someone is going to shoot back. Not that I care what happens to scumbag neo-Nazi murderers, but innocents could get caught in the crossfire.

Everything happening now was obvious by March 2021. That's why I wrote about it *then*. This matters because this is a planned autocracy. Feigned surprise at horrors is meant to rewrite history and present our plight as if it wasn't a plan obvious four years ago and countenanced by both parties.

he’s doing a bunch of awful shit at once because he has a bunch of evil impulses and no attention span or short term memory and his various viziers have their own agendas and get him in a room and he goes sure sounds good it’s overwhelming to deal with but it isn’t complicated

130,000 Alabamans are about to lose their health insurance as a direct result of the “One big beautiful bill”, and a Florida man is tweeting like it’s some kind of win. If you live in the state, call Sen. Tuberville and tell him what’s on your mind: 202-224-3121

Tal Lavin’s book “Culture Warlords” is an absolutely fascinating (and deeply alarming) look at the white supremacist/far right/religious right. It’s a must-read, and the parts about the white/Christian only dating sites are jaw dropping.

I called my 3 reps today. My husband called, too. I encourage you to call yours. Especially since you're likely to get the answering machine and won't have to sound eloquent to a living person. This is my preferred way/time to call.

Republicans rushed tax cuts for the wealthy but delayed their cuts to Medicaid and food assistance. Why? So they don't kick in until after the midterms. Help spread the word.

Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

Apparently I'm doing this -- my open letter to that open latter about AI in writing and publishing. I emerged from Hibernation Week to write it, so god only knows how much sense it makes. But at least a human wrote it, so that's nice. Bonus: picture of my "cat," sweet baby Boomba.

I don't know how many times it needs to be said that you absolutely should not let fucking "AI" anywhere near your legal contracts, either in creating them or evaluating them, but apparently it needs to be said at least one more time, so allow me to say it again, here, right now

Octavia Butler predicted our dystopian present. What can a futurist learn from her chilling accuracy?
