The Three Spooges

I think if I was an American president with a historical relationship to an infamous sex criminal, I would have tried not to upset an unhinged businessman with a history of accusing people of paedophilia.

TACO time!

I’m honoured to have written a story for @sophiealdred.bsky.social’s fabulous new book about Ace and her jacket. The galaxy of contributors includes Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy, David Tennant, Peter Capaldi and Jodie Whittaker! It’s out this month, in aid of autism charities. Buy it!

Life-changing film.

A former D.C. police lieutenant convicted of leaking information about a police investigation to the leader of the Proud Boys group on the eve of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, was sentenced Friday to 18 months behind bars.

Thinking of a hero I knew and admired.

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/america-ch...

Remember: If unions didn’t matter, powerful corporations wouldn’t spend millions of dollars every year to stop workers from organizing. Keep up the fight.

“Is he dead yet?” asked Piglet. “No,” said Pooh. “Fuck,” said Piglet.

“One Big Beautiful Bill”? Try one big, bold-faced lie. They swore this mess wouldn’t add to the deficit…but the nonpartisan budget office says otherwise. $2.4 TRILLION added to the deficit—and for what? Tax cuts for the rich.

Weatherpeople always tell the truth.

On May 29, 2025, atmospheric CO₂ concentration at the Mauna Loa Observatory reached 430.71 ppm. When I was born in 1991, the global average was around 355 ppm. A cataclysmic geological shift in just three decades, and no serious effort to « flatten the curve » here.

Actually, yes, this and a fantastic set of encyclopedias

This is so sad. Homophobes killed a man's dogs, burned down his house, then murdered him. Let that sink in. And trump and Musk would make it US Policy to do the same to all LGBTQA+ people in America. You must see how wrong that is. 🏳️‍🌈

In 2009, Alan Grayson characterized the Republican healthcare plan: "Don't get sick. And if you do get sick, die quickly." He was excoriated for his incivility. Actually, he was just a little bit early.

My high school age son has a classmate just seized by ICE and she is now in a cell in Louisiana, her phone seized. This is High School in the USA in 2025. More Au Revoir Les Enfants than Ferris Bueller. School and community response already in motion.

Awww. A fine actress.

I don’t know how many times we have to say this, but the U.S. government is not a business and shouldn’t be run like one. It’s a service—for the people.
