These sicko billionaires and their “customers” are monitoring our children on playgrounds and leaving the feed open for any perv to watch. 😡

In a post that will basically only interest @bhay.bsky.social, my favorite 2025 album releases were by Pulp, Sharon Van Etten, Wet Leg, Horsegirl, The Beths, Saving Ray Davies, and Snocaps. I'm sure there are albums that I'd love and just didn't get to (I've heard the new Suede album is excellent)

"The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that."

A joke from many fandoms ago

Editor-in-Chief of The Dispatch, folks!

If you're a staffer at 60 Minutes who worked on that CECOT segment that got yanked by Bari Weiss at the last minute, figure out a way to leak it. Not saying it's an easy decision or there won't be consequences, but ask yourself why you got into journalism in the first place.

I did it, I fucking updated my website! With new titles, 2026 releases, updated bio + accolades, and all the preorder stuff.

This shit is just weird

I keep having exactly this conversation with AI proponents: “I need it to be accurate.” “How accurate?” “100%” “Uh. How about 85%? Good enough?” “No, 100%.” “Well, we can’t do that because [reason of the week].” “Okay, talk to me when you can, then.”

We know there are hundreds of good Americans at the FBI and DOJ who also want to see justice for Epstein’s victims and survivors. To anyone who worked hard on the files and is now seeing their work being hidden by their own DOJ, there are whistleblower protections.

I am going to update my website today, which I haven't touched in over a year.

There is this guy Manny Rutinell running to unseat a republican congressman in Colorado and I keep seeing his ads on Instagram and … he is like… movie star handsome. Like???

🚨 The DOJ appears to have redacted Donald Trump’s name from the allegations made in this exhibit in the Epstein files. Trump’s name was in the original release. Now, it’s blacked out. See for yourself.

This is potentially a massive cover-up. Where is the corporate-owned legacy media that claims it exists to expose government corruption? www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

My two favorite Christmas songs are Christmas Alone by YACHT and All Over By Christmas by Ladytron. Does this make me Hipster Scrooge?

We’re ending the year with Trump in the weakest he’s been since election. That was not a forgone conclusion. We appreciate everything you all did to make that happen.

Related, if you're just getting into hockey for whatever reason, now's a GREAT time to join the San Jose Sharks bandwagon cause this team is too young and too dumb to realize they shouldn't be this good just yet.

In the face of today's insanity, here is a friendly reminder that The X-Files - How the Ghosts Stole Christmas (s6 e6) is one of the best Christmas-themed episodes ever and that government officials can strive to be both competent and sexy.

I had this game for NES as a kid called City Connection, where you platformed over horizontal roads in a car to paint over everything you could. This looks like one of those levels.

I am seeing this being quoted in different order so it's really hard to tell what's the latest. I think this is the latest.

If you need a new show for a holiday binge, I highly recommend the oft-forgotten Boardwalk Empire with Steve Buscemi, Kelly Macdonald, Michael Shannon, Michael Kenneth Williams, Gretchen Mol, Shea Wigham and more. Beautiful, brutal, and often hilarious look at the prohibition era Atlantic City

Only Congress has the legal authority to change the name of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

Today, regarding the Epstein files, I would encourage people to keep their expectations low and be surprised by transparency.

The Mighty Nein series is really excellent, and I'm not just saying that because I wrote a Pumat Sol story.

Hey, please take a deep breath. There is a lot of really bad news today and it seems like that’s all there is and it’s suffocating. When he’s this angry and doing this much that means we’re doing something right. So just breathe and don’t forget that. I’m sorry I wasn’t here to help you through it.

I am taking solace in the fact that as evil and horrible as 2025 has been, as evil and horrible as they continue to try every day, the rate of their losses and own-goals has ramped up significantly. And they fucking know it.

I just hate them so much.

Read this book, it’s so good! do it!! Do it nowwwww!

It gets even more pathetic— x.com/RepBeatty/st...

Cis people really have no idea how it feels to watch a regime hold a press conference to admit, on camera, the pogrom against trans people they've been waging for 11 months is not only real, but they're going to double down on genocide and try to wipe out all the children first.

Kindle Unlimited users, you can read A QUANTUM LOVE STORY for free right now! Seriously, I just discovered this and am not sure how long it'll last. Though if it's a time loop, maybe it'll just happen again. www.amazon.com/Quantum-Love...

Long read. Difficult at times. Read anyway and bear witness.

I have seen various chatter and threads about surprise characters that might pop up in Low Red Moon and one of them stood out to me. There's a big one that no one's guessed yet though, at least in the threads that pals have passed onto me.

David Brooks, who wrote in the NYT last month, "The Epstein Story? Count Me Out" is... in the latest Epstein photo dump published by @oversightdemocrats.house.gov. He should absolutely be fired by NYT for this. Major conflict of interest that he didn't disclose.

If this were true you’d think the Right wouldn’t have to be so fucking fragile about their masculinity, and yet

Vaccine rates for flu and covid are way down this fall but that shit is out there kicking asses left and right. Go get your jabs, you can do both at once!

Please tell creatives things like this,I promise you we are filled with imposter syndrome and these things help quiet the voices

if you didn’t bother to watch (and i did not) here’s all you need to know

Not a drag performer.

You could make an excellent music video to Nine Inch Nails' Hurt with those Vanity Fair photos

BREAKING: The Energy Dept's watchdog just agreed to open an investigation into Russ Vought and Secretary Wright’s cancelling of energy grants at my, @padilla.senate.gov and @lofgren.house.gov urging. Trump's targeting of blue states is unlawful and deserves rigorous oversight.

This is an important moment, and we need to explain to the public why it's important. An agency with the power to decide who gets to broadcast is supposed to be independent from the president so it won't abuse that power. If it's not, then we are letting the president seize the power to censor.

1) I saw my fave musician, who's a reader; I'm always downplaying my work, but she insisted "to be so prolific, people have to say YES to you, that doesn't just happen" that really stuck w/ me. 2) Kiddo's fave podcaster made her a super kind Xmas video w/ tips and a request to follow up via email.

I have a daily Google notification for THE PHOTONIC EFFECT as early news and publicity starts. The AI summaries of Instagram posts sure are something -- check those out, then check out the true excerpts.

I have a folder called Random Ideas where I jot down pitches and loglines that pop up. Occasionally, one meets the moment and turns into a full book. Related, the Random Idea of "Voyager comes home during DS9 s6" turned into THE PHOTONIC EFFECT, now on Netgalley: www.netgalley.com/catalog/book...

I am just out of superlatives for describing Macklin Celebrini.

WOW: In a special election for Kentucky State Senate District 37, Democrat Gary Clemons has won with a staggering 72.5% of the vote, defeating Republican Calvin Leach, who received 25%. Harris won the district by 6, so Clemons outperformed the 2024 results by roughly 42 points.

It says a lot about our political media environment that Democrats are called upon to defend things they never said and Republicans are allowed to emerge unscathed for things they're literally recorded saying.
