Victory: Kimmel back on air. Pressure worked! Public + labor pushback stopped a chilling attempt to muzzle critics. Keep eyes on Sinclair’s refusal to carry the show. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Today is my husbeast @drskorzy.bsky.social’s birthday and as luck would have it, we’re both sick after our trip to Alaska, me with Covid, him with a cold. Celebrations will have to wait, but for now at least his sona can escape with a little whale watching with a ptarmigan friend

I unapologetically love Gerry Rafferty's "Baker Street". www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fo6a...

Doing God’s work

Dumbfuck in Chief has the toddlers afraid of getting shots vote nailed down. Does anyone who doesn't chew lead paint chips find this remotely convincing?

"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." Looking forward to seeing Jimmy back on the air.

Heard from a cousin that the last Elder on my father's side of the family, my aunt Caroline, passed away. Long life, lucid and living on her own until a year or so ago. Much sadness; my uncle died in his early 40s, a cousin in his 30s. But she plowed on.

Under the moonlight, you see a sight that almost stops your heart

I try to remember that while they were fighting the ban on gender affirming care for minors here, one of the (trans) lawyers did a thread reminding folks that they're really good at making this feel like an overwhelming groundswell, but it is one clown car of debunked experts on a road trip.

I'm so glad you're okay! 🧊 📸 Curtis Evans, USMC intelligence during Reagan. bsky.app/profile/bebo...

On Tues 23 Sept I'm doing a Reddit r/rpg AMA about my 28-year freelance career, the Bundle of Holding, and my new D&D sourcebook "Manse Magnificent": www.reddit.com/r/rpg/commen...

Do not underestimate the soft spoken, the kind, the gentle. It takes strength to be those things, sometimes more than you will ever know. If you look closely at someone who conducts themselves honorably, you will find something fierce inside.

There are 340 MILLION OF US. Don’t you dare get despondent. STAND UP. And go GET YOUR COUNTRY BACK. Please. Let us not cower. This is all absolutely ridiculous. Come on now.

#OTD Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, freeing about 3 million enslaved Black people. Slavery’s end was not its disappearance. Oppression took new forms. Today, #TheMarchContinues.

Nice! I'm gonna add that one to my Resistance library. This is also a great resource:

It’s going to happen someday and people are going to celebrate and anybody who wants to scold that celebration had best be prepared to fight.

My heart and support goes out to all my trans friends and family. You are inspirational to me.

Quick muckabout I made this afternoon! Nice and high effort to reward ratio!

On Leonard Cohen's birthday, please enjoy this undated photo of the man himself buying cheetos at a 7-Eleven

Assassinated? Nope; he was murdered, with a firearm, like 20,000 other Americans every year, many much more notable. Conservative? Nope; radical reactionary. He absolutely did not promote continuance of existing social norms and governance. Christian? You're really just kidding here, aren't you.

Fuck this Nazi shit.

for all people mock it wikipedia is genuinely one of the wonders of the modern world

Restricting H1-Bs and tariffing solar panels are, in particular, so comically stupid that when you hear them you should find an economist to give a hug.

Good morning. Immigration is good. Trade is good. There are nuances but they are narrow enough that free and open movement of people and goods should be the default.

The Resistance has playbooks, too:

A fun fact about McCarthyism is that just two and a half years after he was condemned and censured, Sen. Joseph McCarthy drank himself to death at 48. Fevers break. Petty tyrants fall. Censorship and persecution drive good people to stand together and fight back.

The truly strong do not have to be boastful bullies.

1/2) Whoever in the Trump Misadministration thought those banners were a good idea -- that they would either cow or inspire loyalty and awe in the Great Leader -- doesn't know Americans very well. www.cnn.com/2025/09/20/p...

Regimes think twice before escalating repression if they know it only ends up growing the opposition. We need your help to make No Kings Day as big, powerful and effective as possible. Please pitch in if you can to support safety and security training, event promotion, and marches in anchor cities.

There is an account on YouTube that shows Saturday morning cartoons from different years in their entirety, with commercials and everything. I let it play in the background on Saturdays. youtu.be/Kzd-cltjOsw?...

I bought three shirts yesterday. The exact same model, different colors, chosen to go with either blue jeans or khakis. Multiple pockets, for phone, mp3 player, tickets, dog treats, etc. Retiring or donating a half dozen shirts in exchange. #NormCore

Crackpot anti-vax brain worm guy is going to reveal the cause of autism tomorrow. Now we know how it felt like to live in whatever country it was whose leaders told people the cure for AIDS involved beet juice and lemons.

Sunday is Belgian Waffle Day. Also, yogurt, nuts, orange, grapes, berries. The waffle is essentially a tasty bread sponge to soak up butter and syrup, but it's once a week.

The house and senate leadership are chosen by their parties' caucus. If you're pissed off at Jeffries and Schumer, write to or call your Democratic senators and rep, if you have any. Demand they call for new leadership.

Of course I'm happy about it. Talented and enthusiastic people are going to make a movie prompted, inspired, in some way related to, my book. They are not about to slavishly try to translate it literally to cinema, which would be awful. Maybe some part of the spirit of the book will be in the movie.

Today in particular would be a good day to avoid the circus. Political grievance culture needs attention to be validated. Go do something for your neighborhood instead.

Yep. Freedom is a state of mind first, and must be believed, lived and appreciated. The only way to do that is to stop obsessing about the tyrant. Americans can take up Dr King's vision and started imaging what the dream for our country is today. Let's see it, say it, dream it and it will be 💙🇺🇲

Klingon Coach always has topical advice.

If you're not totally aware of how bots try to sway minds, here's a good example.

Thing for me is that yeah, ANDOR is Baby's First Leftism Primer. BARBIE is Baby's First Feminism But people need an introduction to these things. And the average American ain't gonna read KAPITAL or go to a CWA workshop Sometimes to move people, ya gotta go to where they are and walk over with em

An antidote to despair and cynicism -- academics studying countries facing autocratic takeovers document that more than half of these episodes lead to "U-turns" and more than 90% result in strengthened democracies. Up to us to make it so! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Oh My. So, how many of Trump's other cabinet members are on the take?

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

It's that time of the year again.

Really looking forward to 🍊🐷 dropping dead, and the days of official denials, and the insistence by the administration and GOP that we all be respectful and think about the great things he's done, and preparations for a state funeral, while meanwhile we're all cheering and laughing our asses off.
