Everyone who has ever worn a uniform for any branch of the military needs to read this and understand, these people couldn’t care less about you.

Jan 29, 1845, E. A. Poe’s “The Raven”, was printed in the NY Evening Mirror. It was the first time it was published under Poe’s name. Oct 3, 1849, Poe would be found in a ditch, delirious, dying 4 days later. Many know that story, but did you know that it was possibly voter fraud that killed him?

(Content warning: ICE violence) At around 1:40 this afternoon, I witnessed federal agents with ICE and CBP arresting a US citizen after hitting her car from behind, and then kneeling on the head of a legal observer in the snow, preventing breathing and bloodying their face.

I am betting if you added Maximus Decimus Meridius, Hippolyta and Romulus to this list, they’d be rated just as high.

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you? Good news: I’m pretty sure I’m gonna be ok. Bad news: this rescue is going to take FOREVER

Absolutely this. Imagining a third party that is going to magically save all is pointless. We need to force change from within the Dem party, retire the roadblocks and replace them with real progressive leaders. There are more of us than there are of them, and we don’t have to keep electing cowards

Periodic (and hopefully final) reminder: James Watson did indeed co-discover the double-helix structure of DNA. He discovered it in Rosalind Franklin’s notes. P.S.- he was also a huge racist. Enjoy the rest of your day.

It’s vital we share with EVERYONE, not just like-minded folk, who is responsible for SNAP going offline. It has nothing to do with healthcare for undocumented people (which was never a thing), or Dem stubbornness. It’s about tax breaks for the rich & the GOP is ready to let you starve to get them.

It’s #BannedBooksWeek and I have a new blog. angrytardigrade.blog

Somebody check on Keanu. If he’s still here, I think we’re good. #HappyRapture2025

They aren’t on the menu

A lot of Trump’s appeal comes down to the fact that people whose lives are boring & mediocre because they aren’t particularly bright, talented, or motivated, would very much like to hear a story in which actually it’s someone else’s fault.

Two of Scorsese’s most recent theatrical releases: Killers of the Flower Moon, $200m budget, $158m worldwide gross. Silence: $40-50m budget, $23.8m worldwide gross. Just sayin…

I am in a trade war with Kwik Trip! I’ve been buying a tank & a half of gas from them every single week for years They refuse to buy any of my Sentsy essential oils I have imposed tariffs to end the abuse! My gas is now $5/gal. I eat Vienna sausages every night I expect they’ll cave any day now

I wish the people whose voices carry would stop calling Signalgate a “mistake”. This was a series of intentional bad decisions made by incompetents that led to a predicable outcome. A mistake is putting salt in your coffee, thinking it was sugar. Don’t let them “my bad” their way out of this.

If you are seeing this in your feed, and yes, I mean you…I need a favor. Please answer the two questions below, honestly, without looking anything up. Acceptable answers are limited to either Yes or No. 1. Do you know, basically, what cash bail is? 2. Do you know, basically, why it is bad?

Happy Kissy Face Day to all who celebrate! If you don’t celebrate, Happy 50% Off Your Favorite Chocolates Day tomorrow!

Most of us are never going to find our passion at work. If you want to be happy, find a job that you can tolerate, that will provide enough income to do the things you want to do outside of work.

ASK: If you are a government employee who can share information about changes being implemented — including programs being shuttered or funding being blocked — by the Trump administration, please send it my way. My email is in my bio, my DMs are open, and I have Signal/Telegram/WhatsApp.

In my quest to re-evaluate my relationship with certain corporations which don’t share my values, today I ditched Audible in favor of @librofm.bsky.social. Same book-a-month plan, similar pricing, but now part of what I spend goes to a local bookshop that I know and appreciate. My ❤️ feels lighter

For those of us having a hard time today, take comfort in the fact that you’re not alone. The fight isn’t over. We’re still in this. Also, a reminder that it is not, in fact, illegal in any state to buy a whole birthday cake for yourself, even when it’s not your birthday. Seriously, nobody checks.

Hey y’all, on this Giving Tuesday please consider donating to this mutual aid work we are doing for Hurricane Helene survivors. We will be trying to take another load next week and we are down to $5. #AppalachianStrong #UhlyDogs

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #962,001!

I invited my son to join me for a day of fun at Octoberfest in Dallas, WI, where we’ll be enjoying an early fire dept-hosted pancake breakfast and a vintage baseball game with the Menomonie Blue Caps, and apparently there is also a weiner dog race! Y’all! This is going to be the best day ever.

In my career, I've helped a lot of people. Now I'm sending up the Batsignal -- I'm asking for your help. It's time sensitive, and what's at stake could help many people. Please share this link far & wide, if you can. Thanks in advance 🔥💚 burner-account.ghost.io/sending-up-t...

ATTENTION #UglyDogs and others! How would you like to help turn Wisconsin blue? YOURS TRULY is running for Dunn County Supervisor, District 2. My chances of winning are pretty gosh-darn good, but I could use your help. First, met me tell you about my opponent…

Does this mean DeSantis can go back to his homeworld?

Anybody else kinda feel like someone who somehow can’t manage to live on a $274,000 per year salary shouldn’t be weighing in on issues relating to someone struggling to survive on $20,000 a year?
