If you’re pro-ICE and you still expect anti-ICE folks to treat you with kindness and respect at this point, you have a very poor grasp of reality.

You shouldn't criticize people's appearance, even if they're the worst goddamned people on the planet. It's low-hanging rotten fruit, and you're playing into the prejudices THEY usually truck in. At the same time, I'm leaving it at that. I'm not interested in providing excuses for their behavior.

Lit Editor Business for @thirdcoastrvw.bsky.social. Patrick T. Reardon provides another great review for a book combining religion and horror: David Scott Hay's "The Butcher of Nazareth" from @whiskeytit.com. thirdcoastreview.com/lit/2026/02/...

I'm not familiar with Dreher, but generally speaking, modern conservatives believe only "worthy" folks at the top deserve comfort, pleasure, and security... Then a good chunk of those "worthy" folks deny themselves the pleasure part...until they finally crack and seek it out in bad places.

Let that Aklo ghost language come out of you! "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!" "Fhtagn! Fhtagn! Iä!"

This is why you don't make friends with those people. You don't meet them halfway. You don't accommodate them. You don't try to understand them. You don't make peace with them. You don't "set aside politics."

Ten years ago, Scalia descended into Hell.

Good. They’ll try to find a sneaky way to do something similar, but they got caught looking, so to speak.

Clavicular was brutally frame mogged by the ASU Frat leader.

The man deciding who gets to live or die, folks.

“You know what would be funny that would also cause some people to become enraged?”

Set the controls for the heart of the sun.

BREAKING: 47 Senators just blocked a measure that would have provided billions more dollars of no-strings-attached funding for ICE and Border Patrol to continue their violence and abuse. While we applaud these Senators for taking action, the fight continues.

Victor J. Andrew HS (Tinley Park; Go Thunderbolts) had a few athletes (baseball, swimming, and wrestling) that did all right, I guess, but Keith Edmier was the most interesting alum. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keith_E...

Happy Lincoln's Birthday, from @mrdankelly.bsky.social.

If my followers have been inspired by the fierce resistance the Twin Cities has put up to ICE, you should make it a point to take a trip here (April through October 😬), enjoy the wonderful things MN has to offer and support our small businesses. It continues to be a really tough time for them.

Bud Cort has passed. I hate Harold and Maude with every fiber of my being, but he was always fun to watch.

The "create a ChatGPT caricature of me based on all my interests on social media" thing can get really sad.

The Joker killed in his earliest incarnations, then (after the comics code took over) he turned into a harmless goofball whose giant typewriter death traps were easily foiled by Batman. Then, in the 70s, Steve Englehart and Marshall Rogers turned him back into the psycho killer dick we know today.

[Resisting the urge to argue against your point with all my strength because I'm 58, for God's sake. It would be mortifying.]

What the hell? I would like to speak with the manager.

Likely-historic photo by NBC News of all the Epstein victims asked to raise their hands if they've not yet been asked to meet with the DOJ as Bondi testifies in foreground

Sometimes I remember Reagan removing Jimmy Carter’s solar panels and I think we’ve been enduring this shit for way too many years.

Linked In is generally useless, but this is a good point for fellow advertising/PR folks. Pick a side, and pick the right one, because people will remember.

In lighter/stupider news, I finally found enough trophies to stop the Riddler in Batman: Arkham City. They made him so irritating, it's a pleasure to find him and kick his ass.

Border Patrol agents after the shooting of Marimar Martinez radioed in, "We're on south Kah-Dee-Zee" for Kedzie. What in the heck

Not to go on all-fours; that is the Law. Are we not men? Not to suck up Drink; that is the Law. Are we not men? Not to eat Fish or Flesh; that is the Law. Are we not men? Not to claw the Bark of Trees; that is the Law. Are we not men? Not to chase other Men; that is the Law. Are we not men?

I mean, the Scarlet Letter is already thirsty as hell...

"I would prefer not to...but for YOU I'll make an exception, stud."

Very interesting...

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Standard Rule of Thumb: After visiting Epstein Island, do a head count to ensure you didn't leave any of your kids behind with Epstein.

A curious aspect of American fascism is believing you can be as hateful and spiteful as you wish, but under no circumstances can anyone call you on it. You do not, under any circumstances, "gotta hand it to" history's fascists, but few of them were sissies about the contempt heaped on them.

Remember: you're in a position to do the same and fail to do so, you'll forever be less ethically sound than DinoCon

the general media's reaction to both musical performances at the Super Bowl is an indictment of what is lost when every major outlet gets rid of all the culture writers who know what symbolism is

I’ve seen golf games more exciting than that.

It wasn’t Liam, but message received.

Be a real shame if Ring cameras started getting vandalized.

The AI ads feel like a death rattle.

"Superb Owl" still amuses me.

I've shared this before, but one of the more dismal things I ever heard while working in the corporate world was from a new manager of whatever at her introductory meeting. After she spoke, the floor was open to questions. I recall asking her what she was reading lately. A softball question...

I have yet to see any evidence that there is a market for AI-generated books outside of people being tricked into thinking they are not AI-generated books. AKA, it is a project of scamming and deceiving people, and really should be treated as fraud

You know, the real ball-busting part of this is that we've reached the point where we're being told both (1) AI is taking over all writing and (2) no one reads anymore, and books are being phased out.

A few days in and it’s a for-damn-sure thing that it’s wrong Catherine O’Hara is dead and Trump is not. What god, I ask you?
