RESULT: Democrats easily defend a state House seat in South Carolina in a special election tonight. Keishan Scott, the 24-year old Dem nominee, won 71% to 29%, so by 42. (Harris had carried the district by 5% last fall; Biden won it by 15% in 2020.)

What would it feel like if you could accept your weird body's urges as a gift instead of a burden? Being hungry or horny or tired and being able to eat or come or rest is proof that we are alive and can nurture ourselves effectively.

Oh, hey. TIDAL CREATURES is out in paperback today! If you want a book about weird alchemy, found family, moon deities around the world, academic politics, the destructive applications of peach trees, lesbians, and the Impossible City, this is the book for you.

I ask your prayers for the repose of the soul of the Rev. Jackie Means, the first woman regularly ordained to the priesthood in the Episcopal Church. Below is a statement from the Bishop of Indianapolis. Requiem aeternam dona ei, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat ei. ⚓

Honestly terrifying. Meteorologist on the "multigenerational impact" of cuts to American science & specifically the National Weather Service & NOAA. "What you need to do is call your representatives & make sure these cuts are stopped." Find your Senators: senate.gov Reps: house.gov 202-224-3121

Trump is shutting down Job Corps—kicking vulnerable young people out of housing, job training, and education programs with zero plan. Don’t tell me this man gives a damn about the working class when he’s gutting the very programs that help folks get on their feet.

Part of the bubble they're in is they have real contempt for voters, the consequence of decades of chronically uncompetitive elections. They think people don't notice this stuff. Meanwhile they're blithely dismissive and do zero introspection about why congressional Dems poll about as well as ebola.

it is darkly amusing that it seems to cross relatively few minds that "our most high-info and high-engagement voters know we are deliberately spineless frauds and hate voting for us" might eventually do damage with people other than those voters

I'm home from PT and starving. How anybody can function in a calorie deficit, I will never understand. I first tried to diet when I was a 5'2", 106lb 12-year-old dancer, and I've failed at accepting hunger as an acceptable state of being ever since.

If I see any of you fuckers trying to rehab Musk because he said something you agree with just because his ego is currently as bruised as his eye, I'm going to shit directly onto your teeth.

Thinking about how lots of people would have you believe Minneapolis is some sort of burnt out hellscape that resembles a war zone but the only times it has resembled a war zone is when unnecessary BS like what happened today happens.

Honestly shocked James Frey didn't fall down an ice crevasse or something. There is no shortage of mediocre dude grifters, why would you dig up one from the past?

You remember James Frey as the confabulator who faked a memoir and got humiliated by Oprah for it; I remember him as the book packager who egregiously exploited young writers with an outrageously bad ghost writing contract. He's always been fucking terrible. whatever.scalzi.com/2010/11/13/t...

Remember when NFTs were inevitable? The plagiarism bot has more and louder rubes, but it’s just as much a grift, and we don’t have to agree to it.

America in 2025 is the first actually existing case of civilizational suicide, all of the decline of the West guys were correct, they were just talking about themselves instead of immigrants and gays

The lying and hallucinating is bad, but I actually think the creepiest thing about ChatGPT is the extreme flattery. I understand why the lying and hallucinating happens, roughly - I do not understand why it lavishes everything you say in so much flowery praise.
