*Noticing that Fifa drew the brackets for the World Cup today* Me: Hey, maybe I can finally realize my dream to finally see Brazil playing in a World Cup! *Checking the prices for seats* Me: not happening

Writing a straight couple in a shitty relationship in my WiP and felt like listening to No Children again. Why that fucking song hits so hard. I'm gay, it shouldn't hit that hard.

Trump Appears To Doze During Stroke

Trump DOJ official Harmeet Dhillon describes the crackdown on schools & speech in response to alleged antisemitism. Minutes later, asked about Nick Fuentes, she says: “the antidote to speech that you don't like is more speech. It isn't shutting down speech.”

Caught myself checking out Sheriff Country on CBS just because I really like Morena Baccarin and wanted to see what she was up to and now I'm binging it. Age is turning me into an auntie.

Took my dog for a walk at the beach for the first time in six months just to discover that there is a $10 parking fee now. 🙃

Jaime Harrison is spamming my spam folder

This is who many, many democrats want us to break bread with, by the way.

Post your favorite "Lord of the Rings" character. Wrong answers only.

"Don't follow illegal orders" would be more meaningful if Democrats had prosecuted literally any of the prominent war criminals of the last 30 years instead of, you know, fucking campaigning with them

Bolsonaro may die in prison. Bangladesh's PM was just sentenced to death for ordering last year's brutal crackdown. Are any politicians running on a "We gotta start stacking these fascists like fucking cordwood" platform?

This absurd pardon shows the murderous boat bombings were never about stopping drugs

Headline: "AI can replace 11.7% of workforce" Actual study: Anthropic paid MIT to use a "labor simulation tool" that said 11.7% of TASKS could be done by AI

My nephew in Brazil wants me to bring him baseball equipment so I can teach him how to play baseball. Should I: A) Explain to him that, even if I've been living for almost 8 years in the US, I have no idea how to play baseball; B) Learn how to play baseball; C) Teach him Calvinball.

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

The only problem with Welcome to Derry is that it's always painfully noticeable that the children actors cringe a little bit every time they need to say anachronistic slang such as pattycake or swell.

Yeah, Biden just wrote the Crime Bill and the Bankruptcy Bill, drafted the Patriot Act, voted for NAFTA, DOMA, and the Iraq War, eulogized Strom Thurmond, installed Clarence Thomas by smearing Anita Hill, voted to create DHS and ICE, made the Bush tax cuts permanent, and supported a literal genocide

I think we had a good run of depictions of Satan as a sarcastic, sadistic, smirky guy, but it feels a little repetitive at this point. As a former Catholic, a Satan that is a vehicle of pure, sullen, unadulterated hate towards humanity rather than a trickster is way more scary.

We’re not shopping at Target, shop Black-owned. Here’s a list of Black- and minority-owned businesses that are in Target, buy from them directly. open.substack.com/pub/ninaturn...

From 2023, here’s my mix of four minutes of actual people who’ve appeared in the Thanksgiving parade. youtu.be/SsK2CzR8g-w?...

There is a small but non-negligible chance that this Facebook post will be the equivalent of the moment when the first queer person decided to embrace the word queer instead of taking it as a slur, but for cops.

Under the Sand, by François Ozon. In a moment where there is a proliferation of insipid books and movies about grief, Under the Sand, made 25 years ago, is the only one tackling the topic that hit me hard.

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...

"At what point does a literary collection or newspaper subscription become prosecutorial evidence under the Trump administration’s logic? Essentially, whenever it’s convenient."

The Eighteenth Brumaire of Jair Bolsonaro.

The world if the left stopped using Karl Marx as their main repository for conceptual understanding of society.

Since we are talking pies, I fetched mine today for thanksgiving (tomorrow the lines would be too crazy): one marionberry pie and one hazelnut chocolate pie.

I would love if Elliot Page made a follow-up interview with Bolsonaro (for context, he interviewed him prior to his transition, back when Bozo was a fringe backbencher congressman)

You'll never know now

Beijing carries out emergency launch to relieve space station crew left without working return capsule.

I haven't written a single word since surgery but I got to play Mass Effect 1, 2 and 3 in a row for the first time. Just finished it. I got the bad ending.

trump is, first and foremost, a starfucker

In Goiânia, Brazil, we have little kiosks spread around town known as pitdogs. They sell "x-tudo", which are an overstuffed hamburger. The x in the name is a reference to cheese in cheeseburger (the letter x is pronounced "sheez" in Portuguese), tudo means "everything". An everything-burger.

hi!!!! you may notice that Nov. 7 has Happened Already; we're gonna push back the submission deadline to Sunday, December 21st. please please please keep sending us stuff, we would love to publish your stories and poems!!

This "haptic visuality" is what I've always meant by "texture" but didn't know how to talk about it. This is a fantastic video

I tried he first Mass Effect a few years after release but I was too much of a noob to get a grip on the gameplay. Now that I'm convalescent post-surgery got the legendary edition. I've finished the first one (love it), but Mass Effect 2 feels mechanically clunky in comparison to the first.

Personally, I think the idea that all women should be measured by the failures of Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris is actually a sort of sexist doomerism.
