Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

It is remarkably frustrating to me to watch a system break down against a kind of threat its systems were *designed* - reasonably well designed! - to defeat because everyone whose job it is to actually *do* that is busy hiding under their desks hoping against hope someone else will bell the cat.

@jamesgunn.bsky.social So I saw a post where it said you're not sure what Batman you want to fit in this universe? I submit to you two options: 1) Allstar where he's crazy as shit & super paranoid but comes in clutch or 2) Adam West campy, speech-making, smiling Batman - Light RDJ Stark-esque. DM me

Vienna has been dethroned. The new "world's most livable city" is [drum roll] Copenhagen, which was also, in a separate survey, recently ranked the world's happiest city. US cities basically do everything exactly the opposite of Copenhagen, which is why not a single US city is in the top ten.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

It's a typical Colonizer tactic - let's make this place seemingly inhospitable for anyone rationally-minded: encourage people to leave, forcibly deport others, incarcerate others, kill others, let others die from lack of resources - and when they have shaped the land in their image again, they'll

lol what if I told you everything happening right now is because a subset of white people don't want to be minorities?

There are now more than 2000 #NoKings events scheduled for all 50 states, DC, Puerto Rico, Guam and about a dozen foreign countries. RSVPs are skyrocketing, which is particularly worth noting because a lot of people are very understandably dead set against RSVPing. We will not back down.

This is genuinely so bad, he can’t even answer basic questions from budding teen atheists lmfao. It’s like that scene in game of thrones when all the children ganged up and stabbed grand maester pycelle to death

I cried, so now y’all can too. Mr. Riddick graduated at 80 years old! It’s never too late, and this is important as I constantly doubt myself. 💙💙💙 congratulations to you sir!!!

TRUMP AND BESSENT: We’re negotiating with China, this trade war will be resolved soon. CHINA: WTF are you talking about. www.ft.com/content/3e07...

The only appropriate response to this is impeachment and removal from office. Every moment the political press spends spinning out theories about 2026 and immigration polling is a minute they are not spending asking Republicans in Congress about their plans to enforce the rule of law

Don’t shame people for not immediately reading all the books they buy. Some books aren’t made to be ready right away, okay? Some books need time to mature. Some books need to cure for a while. Some books are prosciutto, and don’t you forget it.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory. Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

Ordered my playmat from @mkynart.bsky.social today!!! Woo!

it’s hard to overstate how hard the final 3/4 of FF7 Rebirth’s ‘Materia Keeper’ goes youtu.be/RSScatjfge0?...

On Sunday, we got back into the D&D game I run for daughter and two of her friends. Daughter’s friend 1 (DF1) has a play style best described as ‘impulsive’. In the game they are searching for an undead ogre mage and the three of them have cornered him in a ship’s cabin.

Over on Whatever today, I've written a longish piece on billionaires and boycotts, how boycotts are effective (and are not), what to do when you don't feel you can boycott, and what to say when someone is telling you that you're not doing it right: whatever.scalzi.com/2025/03/12/t...

I've been boycotting businesses since they made their stances on DEI clear. I encourage you to boycott today, and consider boycotting until things change. There are alternatives! Just about everything in this world runs on money, so take it out of the hands of those who would harm you.

At a time when other universities are cutting DEI in obeisance to Trump and Musk, this university is embracing it, in STEM. www.ucdavis.edu/magazine/pai...

"Hey!" I said, louder. "I just want to say thanks. That's all." Silence was the only answer I expected, and that's the one I got. Not that it meant anything. When listening for danger, one must never mistake silence for safety. - The Blacktongue Thief

Hope we're all ready for modern day Earth hijinx! Sword looks good, though.

Korea does capitalist oligarchy even harder than the US. like I don't think there's a quality about Korea that makes it a nobler country, I think there's something fundamentally and bizarrely wrong with America right now

As a kid the 8-ball was such a powerful icon. It billiards, it was black, no touchy, the omega ball. But it could also magically divine the future. It was also drugs. What couldn’t this ball do?? Iconic.

I'll share my own in this thread as well.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

This is how you do it.

Something to consider.

Elon Musk's mother moved to South Africa in the year Apartheid was created, and she and Elon left the year it ended. The last Apartheid Prime Minister, a man who refused to testify at the Truth and Reconciliation Committee, was a family friend who stayed at their home. This is not a crazy theory.

Freakin love these, they remind me of one of my all time fav memes!
