People keep talking like we aren't way passed the markers for authoritarianism.

Affirmative action for really mediocre white people continues.

The tech bro need to pretend that code can save us is a root of so many issues. This is a skill issue folks. You're failing it.

Of course Tony Blair crawls out of the woodwork.

Great thread on a part of queer history not well known.

Still a banger after all these years.

Really good article. "Democrats need a set of principles from which they will not budge." needs to become THE mission.

"They will experience the consequences of this, but we have to be the consequence." is @democrats.org message, they just don't know it yet.

Murder She Wrote premiered on this day in 1984. It should be a holiday.

I spent my entire day editing and reworking an alien spellbook, in case you're wondering how I'm doing.

When you realize that they are all just mediocre white dudes who think everyone else is the reason they aren't seen as the best in the world... it all just makes sense.

Do you think the toadies Trump has around him take turns being President, or is it just Stephen Miller all the time?

This is the kind of thing that The Onion would print. The stupidest timeline.

The fact that bluesky is speed running the social platform lifecycle is deeply annoying.

Did Michael Pulaski block me or did one of my block lists block Michael Pulaski?

Today I wrote a scene of teenage longing that felt really nice to get on the page. It's sad that these kids won't end up together... oops.

Most people who write about politics, right or left, have internalized the concept of the Trump supporter as the authentic american Volk and so many of their conclusions proceed from that bsky.app/profile/qjur...

Seems bad!

What if I pivot to shit posting?

Everything All The Time.

Can't wait for Schumer and Jeffries to sternly demand a meeting about this.

This is how you make politics and history matter in 2025. This is a perfect example of making it interesting, enticing, entertaining even... all without shying from the realities. Copy paste this everywhere.

This week's episode of Let's Talk New Mexico deep dives into how the defunding of the CPB impacts native and rural communities. Places where radio is still an important part of daily life. www.kunm.org/show/lets-ta...

The main story with this chart is that right wing terrorism has become the law.

One Battle After Another was very good. Leo should do funny more often.

Dear Leader is at it again.

I spent so much time proofing writing about weirdo aliens today that I think my hair is going to look like this from now on.

They could probably make some of the losses up if they just made a deal with employees on the union effort. But corporations will literally put themselves in the red fighting workers instead of just being decent.

Just wholesale destruction of the US being remotely a forward-thinking society.

I think I've come up with a way to wrap my other other manuscript. Which means I need to finish the one in front of me like... now, I guess.

It's interesting to see what happens in the southwest. The mountain areas essentially become better, while the desert parts get worse.

[screaming intensifies]

the most important thing to remember when you see eugenicists who don’t believe that autistic people should exist rambling about “the autism epidemic” is not that they’re wrong about the “cause” (although they are absolutely wrong about it); it’s that they are eugenicists

Embarrassing.

"Retrain" is doing a lot of work here.

The words "Ayn Rand" answer the question pretty fully.

The world needs to relax. It's FAT BEAR WEEK. explore.org/fat-bear-week

Do you dream about technology? I have never had a dream with a cell phone in it that I can recall.

I wish @electrolemon.bsky.social still made an annual Sept 21 video.

There's no more fitting tribute to Charlie Kirk than the one they're giving him right now: nominally Christian survivors on the same grift clambering over one another for more publicity, capped by the shambling, lurching embodiment of everything they long to be. You couldn't write anything meaner

This is the problem. No one wants this. And seemingly, no one in the media sees through it.

What a fucking joke. Retire.

I'm running one of my favorite low-level dungeons today for my DnD group.

An insane thing to say in America in 2025.

In all the Ozzy accolades I didn't see anyone bring up my favorite incredibly weird Ozzy song. In case you've never heard it... I give you Shake Your Head. It features Ozzy and Kim Basinger on vocals and is AMAZING. youtu.be/6U-9bCtSpx8?...

The majority of people aren't on social media in any meaningful way. Even the "youths" just quick scroll tiktok, then move on.

There is a person in this café literally screaming every word they say as part of their conversation. Everyone else in their group is talking normally. It is insane.

Gross.

The Guardian really did publish an entire article about the political weaponization of "women's safety" but forgot to talk about trans people. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
