The other day I bitched that people always forget LaMonica McIver in their list of politicized prosecutions. The New Yorker has a profile here, so hopefully we can change that. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Asshat takes like this assume that people go through all the trouble of MOVING COUNTRIES to do crime, the same way they assume AMAB folx go through transition just to do crime in the ladies' room. It's like people don't know only the top 1% of fraudsters like the odious Melania Knauss really profit

Legacy media (looking at you, NYT) are running the obit under headlines like "audacious" or "controversial," which is a weird way to spell "a Holocaust denier who declared all Black people in the US a 'hate group.'" Ave atque fuck you, Deadbert

Conservative media are promoting a GiveSendGo fundraiser for the ICE agent who killed Renee Good. The page includes the following statement from the organizer: "But this didn't happen in a vacuum—it's the direct result of anti-American traitors like Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (who is Jewish)"

And what the absolute fuck is Sen. Lisa "Simp for Tyrants" Murkowski going to do about it? Hold a presser about how she almost voted against the newest fascist thing but ultimately didn't?

Richfield Coliseum, Richfield, Ohio - I believe this, like the Philly Spectrum, no longer exists. Neither does Bobby. I really wanted to wake up this morning and have dreamed that but apparently it's true.

From Tom Constanten on FB… An enormous sigh for Bob Weir. We shared a house in Ross in 1969. However great you may think he was, he was yet greater.

One of the things that tears me up about Weir is that it's now impossible for him to get a valedictory essay from Steve Silberman. What even is this world

The Gift of Man, in Tolkien

I really thought bobby was going to live forever somehow

When they said "this year will be worse before it gets better" I did not in any way, shape, or form comprehend that they meant "in part because there are no more encores now that Bob Weir has died." My picture is next to "inconsolable" in the dictionary and my dog has no nose

I didn't realize we had a family of leucistic crows around Lincoln Park here in Seattle. The photographer is Madison Brodahl

Also not on my 2026 bingo card: "I find myself agreeing with that fucktool Garry Kasparov"

NEW: Jonathan Ross is former National Guard and Border Patrol and has been part of ICE's SWAT equivalent, a team leader overseeing FBI, ATF, and IRS agents, and a firearms instructor, according to testimony obtained by WIRED. This is from @hudsongiles.bsky.social and me:

I did not have "Jesse 'The Body' Ventura gives a reasonable political take" on my bingo card. What a wild year 2026 has been

Sir Pterry, from "Jingo"

Signal boosting to see if anyone knows of any Vietnamese language actual plays!

Hey, has anybody seen my "No Blood for Oil" sign? I think I left it in my dorm room. In 1990.

Muting a Black woman to claim the vote was unanimous is so incredibly on the nose

a lot of people don't realize that Christmas carols and traditions are actually folk memories of suppressed pre-Christian events, namely the end of the Third Age and the Fall of Sauron.

I just uploaded @jasonparis.bsky.social 's recording of the segment CBS News pulled from "60 Minutes" to YouTube:

DEI is actually DEIA. The A stands for Accessibility. This regime has eugenicist goals. They don’t want to accommodate people with disabilities, because they don’t want there to be any people with disabilities. It’s a cull. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

The Doors of Moria are an all-timer great door puzzle. Gettable. "Absurdly simple, like most riddles when you see the answer." GMs have been trying to chase that level of fun for decades.

I like people who come on here and post "Release The Epstein Files!!" like wait shit, was I supposed to do that. Is one of us in charge of that

gm

I named my fists Tolkien and Lewis because you won't have an Inkling of what hit you

Hot take: Spending all day ON HERE virtually shouting "Release the Epstein files" to an audience that is guaranteed to respond enthusiastically does jack and shit. All you're doing is being performatively mad at the person we all know WAS in them before they were redacted. Go volunteer or something

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

Some rise Some fall Some climb To get to Charlie Brown

All children, except one, grow up, Charlie Brown.

I was born in the year 1632, in the city of York, of a good family, though not of that country, my father being a foreigner, of Bremen, who settled first at Hull, Charlie Brown.

Drivin' that train, high on cocaine, Charlie Brown, you better watch your speed

Hwaet! We Gardena in geardagum, Charlie Brown

Hiding from the real world in The X-Files, only for Scully to gut punch with “… there is a culture of lawlessness that has prevented me from doing my job. That the real target of this committee's investigation should be the men who are beyond prosecution and punishment…” Me: *POINTS AT ‘90s SCI-FI*

Refusing to fund SNAP is ableism. Cutting Medicaid is ableism. Terminating ACA subsidies is ableism. Slashing affordable housing is ableism. This regime has a very clear eugenics agenda. They’re targeting services they know disabled people rely on to survive. We are not expendable.

Sticking this here to read more thoroughly later

OMG THIIIIIS. This is what my favorite MMO studio has unfortunately effed up at. People you would cross the street to avoid dominate the discussion in the Discord I'm thinking of.

I can vouch for this family. Please donate if you can. gofund.me/b4655d2b7

sexual violence is so much a part of the fabric of american society that to mention it at all is to risk upending everything, but it must be talked about. it must be dragged into the light and the people who perpetrate it held to account.

I'm not sure there's a better way to describe fibromyalgia than this, particularly on nights before the next day is gonna be significantly warmer, because describing myself as "Bizarro Storm: the weather controls me" is mixing two comics publishers and we can't have that

Cancelled. Cancelled into the Sun. Cancelled into a volcano. Into Jupiter's atmosphere. Cancelled in every gory and visible way. Cancelled back into his snowplow. Again. www.sfchronicle.com/entertainmen...

Society perceives sex offenders as changeable, recoverable, helpable and able to go on to live a healthy, positive life with support. The same people perceive their victims as irreparably damaged, mentally ill, problematic, disordered and doomed to a life of trauma?

It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

if you haven't ever gotten into the Deadcast, take some time and listen to this one today. Donna Jean in her own words tells the story of her and Keith joining the band.

Oh, fuck this whole year. Maybe I'll meet you at the jubilee, Donna Jean. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxRm...

I would like to audition for the role of Chancellor Goth, please. I feel the costume could be very interesting.

Have been giving away candy and rubber duckies at the game store. Best costume of the night: Bob Ross.
