Oh the irony.

Rewatching season 1 game of thrones, Arya is in the dungeons under the castle and what’s Veris talking and runs to escape into a locked bar door. She yanks on the lock. The bars are wider than her fucking body…

Possibly I should just stop complaining like a human and get on with it.

I’ve fallen out of love with my Kindle. I think I’m back to believing the best thing is a paperback even when it means I have to read by lamp while my partner is asleep. We’ve been reading together a lot lately and it’s all physical copies and I’ve read so much more this way.

I think it’s probably time people wrap their heads around the idea that these fascists want to crash the economy.

My spouse and I have been turning off the tv and reading more. It’s got me back on track with my reading goal for the year. Books I’ve finished in the last week: - Notes From Underground Doestaevsky - The First Fifteen Love of Harry August, Claire North - Between Two Fires, Christopher Buehlman

one of the old union lawyers i worked for used to lament that protest and action in this country had been reduced to "walking in a circle in a fenced off designated area holding signs" and said it was a bad sign for our society and you know what

"whatever, everyone already uses it anyway so it's fine" is just not really the message a sorry person promotes. I'm frustrated by how everyone just gave him the benefit of the doubt. I'm not feeling very forgiving when this is the messaging. I don't think I'm being unreasonable either

This is the most corrupt administration in American history. It is not close. Donald Trump Jr. took a stake in a small startup, and three months later, the White House called the Pentagon directly and told them to fast-track a $620 million loan to that same company.

I feel like we are close to the unraveling of AI making financial sense to companies. My company spent $670 on one day on Claude PR Reviews for 6 PRs which caused our dev manager to stop using it.

The reports that DHS and ICE contracted employees are torturing immigrants in Delaney Hall are beyond distressing and completely unacceptable. 

As they did with CECOT, DHS is permitting and endorsing the dehumanization and abuse of our neighbors, including minors. 1/2

Fired 60 Minutes-er Cecilia Vega put out this statement: "In recent months, my producing teams and I have experienced efforts to insert political bias into our stories. Reporting teams have held back on submitting story pitches about important news topics out of fear of the internal repercussions."

The thing I never understood about Moby Dick is how the book opens with the narrator telling Ishmael to call him, but the telephone hadn't even been invented yet. Was Melville a time traveling demon? Just asking the hard questions that apparently everyone else has always been afraid to ask.

Just over here thinking about the number of editors who told me 15 years ago that my idea for a book about the UFC and the direction of American culture was stupid and no one would read it.

Imagine that

Instead of defying illegal orders under Trump, American forces have killed scores of civilians outside the laws of war. www.theredoubt.net/the-us-milit...

The only product I think Elon Musk ever actually designed is the Cybertruck. I absolutely believe that is 100% him. And not just because it is a low quality product, but it looks like someone who doesn't understand cars (or aesthetic design in general) came up with it.

No one told me that The Count of Monte Cristo was over 1000 pages. Why wasn’t I warned?

I have this idea where we make it a criminal offense to have a billion dollars in wealth. Like, if you’re getting close to a billion in wealth you have to figure out how to get rid of that shit or we come and seize all your assets and throw you in prison forever.

What a pathetic last gasp at Anfield. Slot has gotta go. We get a Champion’s League spot but it’s just not good enough. #LFC

It couldn’t last #LFC

The Colorado Democratic Party censured Gov. Jared Polis for his commutation of Tina Peters in a vote of ~200 state committee members tonight. A resolution declaring Polis "materially harmed" the party and barring him from formal participation in party events was adopted with 89.8% support.

Padres batting averages are terrible…. And yet… They do work in the later innings a lot. #Padres

I was gonna play the new Lego Batman game but it’s not out for another 4 hours and I’m fucking old at 10 pm is too late for me to stay up and play video games.

I love reading the New York Times, the newspaper exclusively about why your college age kids and grandkids need a spanking.

I think a big reason why they’ve started stereotyping trans people as violent is because they knew they were going to give trans people more to naturally be violent about. That “well fighting back is just proving them right. They go low we go high” trap we’re all familiar with

They’re going to do a Maduro to Castro. I guarantee it. They just charged him in federal court. Next comes the illegal rendition.

If I ever got stuck in quicksand I’d act like I was slowly walking downstairs

If only there were some books talking to people about the dangers of digital self-surveillance/ luxury surveillance.

Look, if you wanted your student loans, healthcare, or retirement paid for by the government I suppose you should have stormed the Capitol on January 6th.

I honestly think of this post when I think of Kirk

“Salah is also to blame, he hast played well this season” Dude, fucking no one on this team is playing well, and do you know who is yo blame if the whole system is fucked and no one is playing well? #LFC

Just remember to vote with your wallet when the new kit comes out this coming week. Don’t pay the club to keep Slot #LFC

I don’t think Liverpool should qualify for CL because I worry that if they do it will be all it takes for them to not shitcan Slot. #LFC

It hasnt been lost on me that #LFC is letting Mo Salah walk away a year early to placate slot #YNWA #slotout Players wont want to come to the club when the see how Mo and Elliott have been treated.

Don’t show that bald cunt on the screen. #LFC

The best thing Liverpool could do is fire Slot and move on now. Don’t even wait. You’ve lost the fans, the team doesn’t play for him. There’s no hope going into the end of the season. Just rip the bandaid off.

Arne out. Arne all the way out. Arne all the fuck the way out of my club. Now. Not tomorrow. Not after the summer. Not in the middle of next season. Now. #LFC #YNWA #SLOTOUT

Dude. If they don’t fire Slot I can’t watch next season. This is a freak goal, but it’s so emblematic of everything wrong with this fucking team under Slot. #LFC

Slot sitting on Salah because of the comments about standards at the club. #LFC

Excuse me while I lay in traffic #LFC

Just before kickoff want to say Slot get the fuck out. #LFC

The only Democratic commissioner sent a letter to the Disney CEO warning that the TV network is under a “sustained, coordinated campaign of censorship and control” from the White House. trib.al/iUr3fnO
