Kids and I are getting flu & covid shots on Sunday. Spoose got them last week.

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

Had two cars die in a month. Like, dead-dead. So, applying from home equity loan to consolidate the car payments. Every single lender has gone "Oh, Texas is... special."

The truly maddening thing is that, unlike when I was a young man in science and the materials and engineering just weren’t there yet, the future is *right there.* The problem is *solved*. What’s holding us back is not just greed, but this bizarre nostalgia, an obsession with petro- masculinity.

None of the 31 Moms4Liberty candidates won either

Fuck fuck fuckity fuck fuck fuck fuck. Right after my car shits the bed and gets replaced, so does the Spoose's.

The driving force behind the altruism of previous generations of robber-barons? High tax rates. They had the choice to spend the money on higher worker pay, expansion, and charities OR get taxed. They decided to invest in their companies and get their names on museums and hospitals.

Now can we please convince establishment Dems to get on board with supporting young, progressive candidates???? Hello, @democrats.org??? Y’all listening??? We turned out in record fucking numbers on an off fucking year!!!!Maybe try pandering to us for a change if you’d like us to keep doing that 😒😒😒

The solution to the male loneliness epidemic is attending a local Democratic Party canvassing event.

As a headsup for anyone on Vyvanse, you should go check your lot numbers. www.health.com/adhd-medicat...

When I was in High School (30+ years ago), I had a classmate whose hair was accidentally green. And, one day, in class, she exclaimed in surprise at a lock of hair in her hand. Because she had used a hole-punch on it. And was surprised that cut the lock off, instead of leaving a hole in her hair.

When Argentina needed $40 billion of taxpayer dollars, Trump and Republicans delivered. When hardworking American families need affordable health care and food assistance, Trump and Republicans… turn their backs on them. These are Republicans’ priorities.

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have just authorized a massive strike. Union Starbucks baristas voted to authorize the strike by 92%. Now baristas in over 25 cities could launch an unfair labor practice strike on Thursday, November 13th.

I heard that man say: 1. I am Muslim 2. I am a Democratic Socialist 3. I will never apologize for those two things. And: 4. You will not fuck with trans people, either. And now, tell me if I'm wrong here, because I'm no Nate Silver or Will Stancil... ...it is a winning strategy.

I like Stephen King's version of it, which goes something like "If you wrote something, and someone paid you for it, and you used that money to pay the light bill, you're a real writer."

fuuuuuuccccckkkk. Right after we replaced my car, the Spoose got in an accident... which may result in the Prius being totaled. Fuuuuuucccccckkkkkk.

If I was a GOP strategist, I’d be pretty worried about diluting my safe +15 districts into a bunch of +5 gerrymandered districts after tonight.

On Wednesdays We Wear Black

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Erica Deuso is the first openly transgender person to be elected mayor in Pennsylvania. The longtime Democratic advocate defeated Republican Rich Bryant Tuesday to serve as the next mayor of Downingtown. 🔴 Live election updates: www.inquirer.com/politics/ele...

The internet has enabled the degree to which I already think in gifs.

Elected Democrats spending more time today praising Dick Cheney than Zohran Mamdani is a great case study in abject fucking moral failure.

'I could smell the onions and the mustard'

Major UPS plane crash and explosion at Louisville Muhammad Ali airport. All those within a 5 mile radius are asked to shelter in place. Please heed all precautions for your safety. My heart goes out to everyone impacted. Injuries are reported. Please stay safe. Situation is developing.

the Zohran campaign goes to show how much your local DSA chapter can accomplish if they stop watching wrestling

We’re further away from The Rolling Stones recording “Sympathy for the Devil” than they were from the murders of the Romanovs when they recorded it

Matthew 25:40 "The King will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” MAGA 11-4-25 "But they were on SNAP. So we told them to go f**k themselves."

Re-upping this on the news of Dick Cheney's death. A man whose life work will go down in the fossil record.

Don't speak ill of the dead for their sake. Speak ill of the dead so every other rotten motherfucker still kicking knows how they'll be treated when they go too.

(wanders off to find a list of the books in question. Be hilarious if this enabled me to finally afford to buy an apartment at this end of my life…) 😏

GIVE 'EM DOUBLE CANISTER

if we elect a muslim socialist as mayor of new york city on the same day dick cheney died i’ll never take another note from a development exec telling me a plot point was “too on the nose”

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay. See the problem?

Donald Trump sure as hell doesn’t care about babies, seniors, and veterans going hungry.

Andrew Cuomo gave more money in taxpayer subsidies to Elon Musk than the entire cost of Zohran Mamdani’s free bus plan. It’s not unreasonable or radical to want our tax dollars to go to programs that help us, instead of as giveaways to billionaires.

Hey Texas! There are 17 constitutional amendments on the block, most of them conservative wet dreams involving turning Texas into a tax haven for the wealthy in case of an AI driven economic collapse. So, you know, maybe carve out half an hour to pop out and vote that shit into the ground.

Are you a marginalized author (or the editor/agent/publicist of one) who has a trad pub book coming out in 2026 that is science fiction, fantasy, or horror and either adult or young adult? This book critic wants to know about it! Small press strongly encouraged. bookjockeyalex.com/contact/

😂😂😂😜😜😜😜

Y’all, I shit you not! I just drove past a sign in my hometown that said “Had enough? Vote Republican“ The really sad part about this is people will.

I see no flaw in this logic when I think about people in general....

These new verification methods are getting out of hand… This got me wondering, how long till there are fake sites tricking people into showing off their bodies for sign-ins? With the trend of verification, surveillance & trans oppression I wouldn’t be surprised if this becomes an actual thing....

This kid just summed up what it’s like to be an American lately.

Deaf and Deaf-adjacent folks, I need some help. I have a student who needs to hire a writing coach that specialises in helping folks who are primarily ASL speakers write in English. Where do I look to find one who is able to assist with dissertation-level academic writing? Does anyone know someone?

OpenAI pirated large numbers of books and used them to train models. OpenAI then deleted the dataset with the pirated books, and employees sent each other messages about doing so. A lawsuit could now force the company to pay $150,000 per book, adding up to billions in damages.

Like an abusive husband reminding his bleeding spouse he's the only one that cares about her right..... before he locks the door behind her & we heard screaming for help from the other side. He's really perfected that "soft-spoken pastor that molests children" voice that also gaslights his wife.
