then die

every day I wake up and choose to log onto this website in order to be mugged by the most appalling facts imaginable

I’m going to pull my teeth out if the left tears itself apart over whether Pete or AOC would be a better candidate while Trump dismantles every single check on his power. Let’s have the debate while deep down adoring both of them as insanely smart, principled politicians that we are lucky to have.

The tariffs are catastrophic. But so too are the abuses of power, so is the corruption, so are the police state tactics, so is the destruction of our health care infrastructure, so are the ways our national security is being endangered, so are the attacks on our core freedoms.

ONE PERSON is responsible for a huge # of book challenges in SC. ONE PERSON is responsible for 40% of book challenges in FL. (His name is Bruce.) A single voice absolutely makes a difference. Use yours and raise it for good. For god's sake, are you going to let fucking Bruce run the show?!

going to be weird if trump is the antichrist and the secular libs are the only one who realize this

Disney, do better.

I think it's important to remember, with everything extremely fucked up and dumb right now, that at the root of it, fuck fuck fucking fucking fuck.

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

Hot damn!

BREAKING: we just blocked Musk & Trump out of the Treasury systems! Court order just secured — big win by us at @sddaction.bsky.social & our partners including @publiccitizen.bsky.social!

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare. Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.” We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

This was one week ago.

I’m proud to call the amazing cartoonist Ed Wexler a friend.

Democrats: How can we go viral? (a pastor goes mega-viral for calling Trump a bigot to his face) Democrats: What if Tim Kaine made a BLT on Instagram Live

Word of the day….

Christ.

Okay let’s see how videos do on Bluesky. I’m curious, and also this is one of my favorite bookish videos to share. 😊 #booksky

If California doesn't get the same treatment after its disaster as Florida and North Carolina got, perhaps California's citizens can go on a federal tax holiday?

Carrie Underwood's inauguration song had better be a medley with "Before He Cheats"

Breaking News: The Supreme Court has denied President-elect Donald Trump’s request to stop his sentencing. He is scheduled to be sentenced in New York on Friday. nyti.ms/407xQqZ

i don’t have anything particularly original or pithy to say about january 6th, just that i can’t believe the guy who violently tried to overthrow the government four years ago is about to be president again instead of rotting in prison.

i'm on Bluesky for the echo chamber of Good Job With Your Project, and I'm Doing This Thing Now That I Enjoy, and You Got This, and Help Me Out With This Problem I'm Having, and Isn't This Thing Pretty Cool, and Check Out This Thing I Made

He lost reelection. He left with a 34 percent approval rating. He didn't feel sorry for himself. He didn't say "to hell with it" and cash in and play golf. He went back to his farm and rolled up his sleeves and spent the rest of his life dedicated to humanitarian causes. Well done, Mr. President.

Daily reminder that the underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.

I’m not in a very charitable mood with them either, to tell the truth.

The truth preached here.

I’m a copy editor and inveterate pedant, but as I keep correcting people who say of Trump’s second term “most voters wanted this,” know that I have good reason for insisting otherwise.

Can't quite imagine we needed a dead CEO to have really clear knowledge of this country's dissatisfaction with our health insurance system.

I can't wait.

I’m curious how much federal funding he thinks the ACLU receives (it’s none).

If the Supreme Court upholds Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care for trans youth, they're essentially saying that the government should overrule parents and doctors, regardless of lawmakers' intent or lack of medical expertise. This is about vibes, not science or children.

Headed to our favorite after lunch. Small business Saturday is the perfect opportunity to get yourself to your local bookstore.

Any tuba players in the Columbus area want to follow these guys while playing derpy music?

Being anti-ai is not ableist. What is actually ableist is to suggest that disabled people need to resort to plagiarism and theft to create art.
