Buckle up.

Despite all the evidence to the contrary, including their own polls, media outlets still seem to believe that MAGA represents "real Americans," and Trump is way more popular than he is.

as secret police disappear americans off the street, the govt murders random fishermen in the caribbean, and people are set to starve while the pres builds a Golden Ballroom, we can take comfort in the most important thing: Jack Black calling out Kyle Gass for being "uncivil" in their comedy band

I wonder what the best way would be to make these books available to every Utah school kid—and to let them know that they can access them.

"No longer should we think about our political process as settling for the lesser of two evils. We can demand a greater good. And in doing so, we can make City Hall a place from which New Yorkers expect change, not failure."

Very good book, highly recommend it.

Man...this guy played on SO many dates, lived and breathed jazz, was NEVER satisfied to be one of the all-time greats but always kept looking for the next step up & out & into the music...we will not see the likes of Jack DeJohnette again soon. Deep gratitude for a lifetime of dedication to the art

Teaching Employment Division v. Smith tomorrow. one thing that sometimes gets lost: SCOTUS used the prosecution of Native religious use of peyote to declare that no one is entitled to religious exemptions from neutral, general laws. and Congress then specifically protected this use, everywhere.

reading slaughterhouse 5 for the first time and i was absolutely knocked senseless by this passage, which is so true and relevant that it feels like it was pulled from a history book

In any case, I'd love to read a piece interviewing Mike Johnson's constituents. Louisiana has nearly 800,000 SNAP recipients and the food pantries in his district hub of Shreveport are already scrambling to make up the difference. I bet there will be some stories there.

halloween costume idea: francis dollarhyde but with antennae and a black and yellow striped shirt. you are witness to a great bee coming. okay hope everyone is having a nice sunday

Today's "One First" explains why Stephen Miller is wrong that ICE officers have "federal immunity" from prosecution for all actions they take in their official duties, and that anyone attempting to prosecute them is committing a felony. Supremacy Clause immunity is a thing, but it's *not* absolute:

Really happy to see folks in the SF/F community here stepping up and donating to food banks and organizations that feed people. This is @adapalmer.bsky.social's doing, and it's making a difference. You can donate too, even if you're not on the Bluesky SF/F community. Need is everywhere.

Just found out it’s National Black Cat day, a holiday I can support. Hug a void! Peer into the fuzzy vortex! 🐈‍⬛

I mean sure he’s bankrupting me and people like me, but he’s also making immigrants suffer. So as you can see, it’s a hard choice.

So they’re simply willing to destroy themselves just to own the libs

“Since siding with [Obama] twice, Iowa has become a stronghold for Mr. Trump. Yet perhaps no state has struggled more with his economic policies. During the first quarter of 2025, Iowa’s GDP dropped by 6.1%, more than any other state aside from neighboring Nebraska.” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/26/u...

LOL- he's a landlord to corporate sharecroppers.

I honestly support Musk shoving everyone off his platform so it’s only a safe space for racist incels and edgelords. It may finally push the jurnos who just can’t quit it and the sports teams out the door. Better late than never.

The only thing I could compare him to was Rory Culkin in Lords of Chaos, same sort of ethereal goth boy vibes

Designer: all right Mr. Del Toro here’s those Frankenstein’s monster designs, real sexy just like you asked for. Del Toro: (nodding) this is exactly as sexy as I asked for.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you are allowed to have ice cream for dinner.

Just finished reading The Calculating Stars by @maryrobinettekowal.com (yes, I'm behind, have you seen my TBR mountain?) and my one problem with the book is that I did not bring book 2 with me on this trip. Go read it if you have not. Loved every bit of it.

Anyway, a reminder I run an 11 person shop with 11 LGBTQIA+ artisans and we offer handmade jewelry for the gender spectrum with resizing capability and we'll have oodles of nice things for all income brackets, with flat fee shipping of $4. Follow @peculiarityshop.bsky.social!

Maybe we can look at small businesses, perhaps ones most impacted by 47, and prioritize them in lieu of a total freeze? It's a good time to order Mexican food. It's a good time to shop from people of color, disabled people, and queer folks. I do understand why. I'm just doing a

I understand the economic blackout strike. I do. I hope people consider small businesses separate from, say, Amazon; holiday income is essential for our small business, and delays on shipping make getting gifts out harder.

Hannukah starts Dec 14th. If you blackout til 12/2, with USPS shipping glut, there are Concerns.

Remember, no matter how small the gesture, no matter how little the donation, every tiny bit of light you put out into the world brightens it just a little bit. Shit's pretty dark these days. Much love to every one of you trying to brighten it.

If you're going to donate to a local organization to help with the incoming food crisis, PLEASE do a bit of research first. There are a LOT of organizations that are heavily religious and conservative who WILL discriminate with who gets their assistance.

they also have an Amazon wish list here: www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

if you’re in the east valley the North Hollywood Interfaith Food Pantry is great and could always use money

Please don't take medical advice from someone who still can't spell "hepatitis" and who doesn't know there are not individual M,M,R shots available.

makes me weep to think of the gifts robbed from us because unaffordable housing has made it difficult for people to pursue their passions and hobbies

Once again, the main day of Tea Party protests had about 300,000 nationwide, but saw endless coverage. The No Kings protests had about 7,000,000 nationwide, and many media outlets reacted with a yawn. No Kings was nearly 25x as big as the Tea Party but the Tea Party got 25x the attention.

Their activity over the last week has included: car crashes, arrests of citizens, rapid responders and bystanders, four days straight of tear gas attacks on dense residential neighborhoods, real guns and pepper ball dispensers pointed at faces, breaking windows and dragging people from cars

Gee, I can’t imagine why…

There are moments these days when I get angry at a corporation for *not* tracking my interests better. You've got the data on every show we've ever watched on your app. Maybe pick one of them?
