The death of Bob Weir truly marks the end of an era. "Just keep truckin' on" are wise words for the current era.

Capitol Hill, Seattle.

From puppy killer to apologist for state violence, seems a natural progression for Secretary Kristi Noem.

ICE = Sturmabteilung (SA). Look it up.

Speaking from experience, Stephen Miller is the very model of a modern major speed freak.

Gifting to share widely.

Nothing shows the moral corruption of the regime more than their vile attempts to defend the murderous thug who executed Renee Good. History will remember this moment and the choices that are made.

God help us all.

What happens when white elephant goes off the rails.

My Xmas wish: that Trump will live long enough to watch from his prison cell as his name, like Caligula’s, is erased from every building and memorial that he has erected to his narcissism

As someone who has the misfortune to live next to Lumen Field, I would like to go on the record and say that Seahawks fans a f*cking drunken assholes at the best of times.

While there is no immediate flooding in our part of downtown Seattle, I can see Elliot Bay from our apartment, where the normally blue water has turned beige from all the flood run off dumping into it. Not something I've seen before in the seven years we've been here.

oh look a real unemployment problem

I guess the Pentagon (Hegseth) didn't care for the sympathetic portrayal of a gay marine, or a depiction of why persecuting gay service members could ultimately be detrimental to the military.

LIke a lot of other people right now, according to the latest unemployment numbers, I'm looking for a job, and I've been told the best way to find one is to tell everyone that. So, for anyone interested in my so-called "professional life," here's my LinkedIn profile:

Privilege is showing up at your punk rock dive bar during Santacon and having the bartender greet you by name and give you a free round.

Out and about in the first sun in over a week!

Talk of rationing pencils and dolls makes no sense in a consumer economy. It makes a lot of sense in a state-directed economy that has the enrichment of oligarchs as its sole intent.

How I roll as an atmospheric river drowns the world outside, with National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation on the tv.

Just so our guests know . . . .

Walked into one of my regular dive bars, sat down, ordered drink. “Here comes a regular” by The Replacements comes on. Reconsideration of my life ensues.

Must watch from @skepchick.org. We are only beginning to grasp the true implications of the Epstein emails, much less what will be in the DOJ files. And the deeper the rabbit hole goes, the more likely that someone will decide to sacrifice Trump to save themselves.

People aren’t going to be abandoning New York because of Mamdani but, even if they did, they wouldn’t be going to Louisiana. www.pbump.net/o/americans-...

Capitol Hill bar urinal, Seattle.

ChatGPT: Acting as an expert criminal prosecutor, summarize all mentions of Donald Trump in the DOJ Epstein files and other documents released by the US House of Representatives, and provide a conclusion whether he was involved in sex trafficking, with reference to specific evidence.

When you realize that your first attempt at long-form fiction that you wrote in your early 20s was actually yaoi.

Chuck Schumer is the Neville Chamberlain for our time.

There’s something a little too ironic about having ramen for dinner while watching Inventing Anna.

And the tide turns against Trump. MAGA, and the Republican brand. On to 2026!

i hope to see enterprising democrats announce their intent to retire schumer and gillibrand over the next two years.

The original bishonen, though he hated to be thought of as such.

Funny, I don’t see the crematoria on the site plan. Considering that most of the homeless I’ve seen in SLC are young queer people kicked out of their homes, I predict these will turn into queer youth torture and conversion camps.

I’ll say one thing about Zohran Mamdani - he has a mean ring game going.

With all these massive layoffs (and I'm sure there are more to come), you would think our Federal leadership would be more concerned about doing something to stimulate the labor market than whether or not they can send the US military into our cities for the purpose of authoritarian control.

You know, it would be nice to live in a country where someone was willing to make a $130M donation to support SNAP instead of the military.

“Boots” is the best soldier boy yaoi ever.

Tonight’s Halloween movie: This Burton’s “Dark Shadows” What a missed opportunity for Ryan Murphy.

I wonder what it's like to lead a life of financial security? At 60, I doublt I will ever know.

This pegs the needle for metaphorical appropriateness.

Dunno, I think they're doing a pretty good job of it themselves.

Stickers coming soon!

Out of control. Thanks Chief Justice John Roberts.

Through Oct. 19, 2017, Trump had spent all or part of 93 days at Trump Org properties and likely played golf on 57. As of Oct. 19, 2025, he's spent all or part of 102 days at his private properties and likely played golf on 71 days. www.pbump.net/o/an-officia...

That’s certainly a way of saying that

Got an email this afternoon from the sexual predator who I thought was my older best nerd friend who sexually groomed me throughout high school. Just to say hi and that he was out of prison for the second time for child sexual abuse. Sunday funday indeed.

Driving back from No Kings with my spouse, “I Will Follow You into the Dark” by Deathcab for Cutie” came on. It’s someone singing to their lover on their deathbed. We had a great time, don’t cry, I’ll follow you. As the older lover, I was almost moved to a point of emotion where I couldn’t drive.
