I have been having a great time reading these author spotlights and getting to know these (some familiar, some new to me) writers through @emmiechristie33.bsky.social 's eyes: www.emmiechristie.com/short-fictio...

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t

There is no "debate." There is only illegal and unconstitutional attacks on other nations and the congressional majority's refusal to enforce the law.

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

What if Cassandra wasn't clairvoyant at all but just surrounded by dumbasses

paid-off local bottom feeders passing themselves off as leaders kiss the ladies, shake hands with fellows then it's open for business like a cheap bordello and they call it democracy!

They told me if I voted for Kamala the US would continue to be involved in foreign wars, and they were right!

Have you ever seen a snake eat a mouse and thought how unpleasant it must taste? How their mouths mostly come into contact with fur and nothing delicious? Don’t feel too bad for them. Most snakes barely have any taste receptors. Most don’t even have the genes for tasting umami or sweetness.

Catching Snowflakes #Art by Stefan Koidl

From the Archaeological Textiles Review 66. atnfriends.com/index.php/20... I know, I'm an old sentimental fool, but seeing that these 1000 year old child's mittens from Iceland were attached with a string made me a little emotional, my mittens were tied together when I was little.

the sentiment that everything is getting worse used to skew more to older people but these days it's broken generational containment, because everything is undeniably getting worse

The best thing you can do in light of the Ellison takeover of Warner Brothers invest your time, energy, and money in supporting independent creators and independent distribution networks and independent venues. It is absolutely crucial to make independence a viable option.

"The 45-second film, made around 1897, was the first appearance on film of what might be called a robot" HELL. YES.

For no reason, just posting this here as a reminder that art doesn’t need to be owned by a corporation and sold and conglomerated for billions. Support indie art. It is (almost literally) the only art that remains🖤☠️ store.tenebrouspress.com

art of the deal, baby

"Friends" is a beloved American sitcom that aired from 1994 to 2004, following six young adults—Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe—living in New York City. The show explores their friendships, romances, careers, and personal growth over ten seasons.

Hmm, did Trump's DOJ assume the red states would just hand over their voter records? Which they would then cite as proof that the only opposition was coming from blue states? These people are not smart.

I dunno, maybe instead try something...new?

the reboots will continue until morale improves

my uncle runs a place in Anchorage that serves fish and chips, and he named the half portion the "Texas size" which is just an incredible troll

You can just remove the income cap on the payroll tax and fund both Medicare and Medicaid in perpetuity.

it's fascinating to watch Costco lap every one of these clowns because they have the only CEO in America who still thinks his job is to run a company that does business and not be the main character of life forging his personal legacy with one eye on the group chat to see if they're impressed yet

TIL a great grand uncle of mine was a registered socialist in the 1914 Huntington Beach, California voter registration list!

I'm going to say what I said a year ago, every Dem needs to simply attend wait for him to start and walk out en masse during the 2nd sentence, the meltdown will take care of the rest there will be no address

The universe is the friends we made along the way. "A Multitude of Sparks Descend" in @thefuturefire.bsky.social futurefire.net/2026.75/fict...

Except for the bits about Musk and the Trump pissoir (which I would also fully support) I legitimately think Sparky's platform is the bare minimum necessary for any Dem candidate. Anything less fails the historical moment.

oh hey whether you are dealing with snow or laying on the beach, there's a new cartoon for you www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

For all these reasons, I’m not going to watch Trump’s State of the Union. I recommend that you don’t, either. Plus, if the ratings for his speech are low, it has the added benefit of driving him nuts. So I say let's boycott the State of the Union. It’s the least we can do.

These guys will never get tired of "one acre, one vote."

Hey. Tell people when they do good job. When you like the stuff they make. When you like the characters they’ve created. The stories they’ve told. Nobody hears it as often as you think bc everyone thinks everyone hears it all the time. Trust. They don’t. Tell. Them.

One of the things I've learned recently that has not filled me with joy is how hard it is to hold the government accountable when they violate rights. So many things Trump's regime has done to people are illegal, but without recourse. I blame @kenwhite.bsky.social for this knowledge.

USPS tells me that there's a package coming and it's Out For Delivery. It was sent by a company that makes battery chargers and as nobody ordered anything from them I have no idea what's coming.

They paid a lot of people good wages to do the job effectively, thank you for coming to my socialism talk

I'm just wondering if he's going to announce that he's fired all the SCOTUS justices and is establishing a "Patriotic Americans Justice Court" that will henceforth decide all cases involving the government. The president would appoint all members and they are not subject to congressional review.

this is what's good about humanity

He's going to incoherently rant for 90 minutes and then the NYT will sane-wash the speech into three or four bullet points.
