THEY ARE BUYING UP WAREHOUSES TO HOLD HUMAN BEINGS IN DETENTION INDEFINITELY. I feel crazy at how everyone is acting like this is normal. These are concentration camps being built right before our eyes. These buildings are not meant to house human beings. People will be caged like cattle and die.

If Newsom gets the Democratic nomination, we will lose, maybe deservedly.

You can learn everything you need to know about me from the fact that I know Bad Bunny beat Kid Rock in the Super Bowl halftime show competition, yet I have no idea which tean won the actual game.

In turns fascinating, terrifying, and deeply depressing, this series is must-read to understand how we got here.

At the intersection of transphbia and xenophobia. Sickening.

Had a wee bit of creative writing fun this morning.

All. Of. This. From Jack White:

I sent this message to Governor Newsom this morning using @resist.bot. I also sent a version to my State Senator and State Assemblyman.

My favorite part of the show Shrinking is the opening credits.

Wild 🧵 showing how one petty bigot can ruin things for everyone if not properly confronted in the moment

USian trans people aren't telling you they won't vote for Gavin Newsom to cause you distress and despair. USian trans people are telling you they won't vote for Gavin Newsom so you don't vote for his transphobic ass in the primaries. They are giving you actionable information.

Heartbroken to hear of the passing of Katherine O'Hara. I've loved her ever since I first saw her on SCTV back in 1980. RIP

I'm fascinated by the parallel rows from whence Dakota's whiskers sprout.

How has the political media establishment failed us? Parker Molloy counts the ways.

I know there are many more important things to be upset about right now, but She-Ra and the Princesses of Power is leaving Netflix on February 20th.

Thousands and thousands of words being written this week that all amount to explaining how, with the right seasoning, this boot actually tastes pretty great and it would be rude, even dangerous, not to lick it.

It's time to abolish Trump’s ICE.

My email this morning to @padilla.senate.gov and @schiff.senate.gov via @resist.bot

I have no words.

This is on Jeffries and Democratic house leadership. People are being murdered. Small children are being snatched. Am aware that with only Massie breaking GOP ranks it passes regardless. But on grounds of history and morality alone, you whip these seven weasels for a unanimous caucus.

Here is my letter, via @resist.bot, to @liccardo.house.gov, asking him to vote No on the DHS/ICE funding bill coming up in the House tomorrow.

Good news, bad news. The good news: a new @megelison.bsky.social book is coming. The bad news: I have to wait until June to read it. Pre-order now!

It was annual check-up day at the vet for our kitties. They were not amused.

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy has a Klingon, a Klingon-Tellarite, and a Klingon-Jem'Hadar. My takeaway: Klingons f*ck!

Trump joins a not-so-long list of people who have acquired someone else's Nobel medal, including... uh... Joseph Goebbels. www.nobelpeaceprize.org/press/press-...

If you see this, post a vampire who isn't Dracula.

Several hundred people form a human banner spelling out “IT WAS MURDER — ICE OUT!!” at San Francisco’s Ocean Beach during a protest Saturday in response to the recent fatal shooting in Minneapolis of Renee Nicole Good by a federal immigration agent. 📸: Erik Castro/Special to The Chronicle

Not to take attention away from the other atrocities happening in the USA, but this is worth reading.

There is absolutely no excuse for the murder of Renee Good by federalized goons, but a thing making it especially terrifying is that instead of the government saying, "this was a tragedy that should have never happened" they are tripling down on "yeah, we killed the b****, she deserved it."

If you write a story about a self-programming forest logging machine, that's auto-robotic ax fiction.

I asked two different AIs (Dalle-3 and Imagen-3) how many muffins were in this image. Both correctly answered 8. I then asked how many chihuahuas. Both incorrectly said 7. However, there are 10 chihuahuas! Also, Dalle-3 thought the bottom right image was a chihuahua. Stupid AI.

This thread makes me happy.

Look at me having a salad for dinner like a grown up. I'm so depressed.

My pharmacy just informed me that they can't refill my prescription for estrogen patches due to a shortage. I suspect either tariffs or people storing up supplies.

My wish for the new year is that America comes to hate and fear billionaires as much as they hate and fear trans people.

ME: it’s boxing day SCHRÖDINGER’S CAT: oh shit oh fuck

I know the tradition of my birth family would have had me go out for Chinese food and a movie tonight, but I decided instead to stay in, have some Indian food care of Trader Joe's and binge watch Sense8.

Look at this little angel.

Netflix keeps showing me commercials for "Stranger Things: The First Shadow" and I keep thinking the play should be a musical and the Demogorgon should have a song.

Gratitude to Apple TV for releasing the Pluribus finale two days early so I won't have to pretend I didn't watch it without her while my spouse is away Christmas week.

Instead of being annoyed, maybe Democrats can get some new consultants who will help them understandy *why* they get primaried from the left.

References to "Splash" aside, this finale sorely needed Peter Capaldi to show up either as the 12th Doctor or as Malcolm Tucker and yell at everyone involved.

This review of the new Avatar makes me happy.

Just watched "The War Between the Land and the Sea". I don't think Tom Hankd and Darryl Hannah are working well together in this one.

My spouse and daughter will be away visiting family the week between Christmas and New Years. Do you think I have enough here to keep me occupied while they're away?

Happy Solstice!

This is just what I needed this morning.

Captain, I believe we have found V'ger's clitoris.

This line gave me a badly needed chuckle and the article overall made me feel somewhat better. What more could I ask for this holiday season?
