Since a lot of people did say Mercenary Librarians (thank you!!!!) a reminder that if you want all the tropes & vibes of Mercenary Librarians but IN SPACE, Jessie has you COVERED. www.jessiemihalik.com/starlights-s...

Get your crab facts people!

Q: Why is the Whitehouse like a pair of pantyhose? A: No ballroom!

All the self awareness of a dog licking his nuts in the middle of the street.

Never met Tony Peters, don’t know who he is, but a million years ago on Facebook he posted this and I don’t think anyone’s ever put it better.

Young Frankenstein

Last year Republicans gutted SNAP & kicked millions of families off food assistance to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. Now they want to double down & extend those cuts for 5 years—hurting children, elders, & folks with disabilities. I am vehemently opposed & urge my colleagues to vote NO.

This is not The Good Place.

Supreme Court rules Black voters had no rights which the white man was bound to respect

You can't just go around blowing up boats in international waters... oh wait that's us. Never mind.

Iran's military more capable than Trump admin. is acknowledging, sources say.

Eggplant Parmesan sub from A. Litteri in the warehouse district in DC. Hidden gem.

For the record: The Washington Post is run by partisan hacks who think we won't remember that they took the *exact* opposite stance when it was Republicans pushing their own gerrymandering grab in Texas last year -- *without* putting it up for a vote.

I've been saying this shit for what seems like forever: Put more Black women in charge. They get shit done and take absolutely zero shit from shady, manipulative fuckers

THIS. So many graph legends on graphs with squiggly lines are unnecessary. Just put labels on the lines. While you’re doing that, write out the whole word instead of using acronyms if you possibly can.

Update: The thing the President says in not happening, is definitely happening

Khaaaannn!!!

TLDR: Robert invented the shadow docket as a way to keep the first black president in check and protect the fossil fuel industry. One more reason to impeach his corrupt ass.

I sent a classified letter to House and Senate colleagues about a secret interpretation of surveillance law that every American should be concerned about. Representative Massie is right. The Constitution requires EVERY member to vote against a clean reauthorization.

He is, of course, manifestly insane. A lunatic, a crazy person, a complete idiot who is getting worse in his old age, on top of all the ways he's a criminal and an enemy of the republic. But removal from office is not something there's a medical test for and we shouldn't pretend that's a real thing.

My friend who studies computers says that this is a week that will go down in history. My friend who studies politics says that this is a week that will go down in history. My friend who studies history says that this is a week that shows we’re all going down.

Pope Leo now windmill-dunking on the bloodthirsty Trump, Rubio, Hegseth and Vance

Some universal truths from your friendly neighborhood hematologist -every baby should get vitamin K -no baby needs a chiropractor -all menstruating and pregnant people should be screened for iron deficiency -vaccines save lives, prevent cancer, and are a fucking MIRACLE

this is an absolute all timer of a week for young JD

Baloney. What is it?

I have a video interview on my novella I did with the publisher going up on YouTube tomorrow. I give you a closer look behind the book. Watch out for that!

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

Forrest Gump

I learned as a child that an easy way to trap a racoon is with a small apple and a milk bottle. You pop that apple into the milk bottle and a racoon cannot resist that apple. He can reach in the bottle and touch it, but he can't get it out and he won't give up. Trump lacks the sense of a racoon.

A powerful man sexually pursuing a young woman who works for him is oppressive. It immediately limits and reshapes her future to her detriment, whether she is physically forced into it or not. It’s coercion either way, and that is why it’s so wrong. It’s an abuse of power.

Trump is the archetype of a conservative. The rest are copies.

Don't threaten me with a good time!

Ok ok but so here's some of real shit from Rhiannon Giddens, who, it must be said, rules.

This what "Don't take God's name in vain" means. Stop putting God's name on your shit!

If you've never heard @fondalee.bsky.social speak she is a marvel.

Donald Trump is unfit to serve as the leader of the free world. That's why I have cosponsored H. Res. 939 Articles of Impeachment to remove him from office.

It's a great time for Tom Lehrer's "We'll All Go Together When We Go!" tomlehrersongs.com/wp-content/u...

A glance at JD Vance and women realize it's not worth the risk!

Genuinely, one of the best insights anyone has given me on the US is that the rest of the world does not understand it is actually two countries. The first is a Western advanced liberal democracy. The other a theocratic, impoverished, violent and corrupt third world country.
