Currently reading about the Nakba in #Palestine and its after effects. Even though this was circa 1948, it’s still heartbreaking and infuriating. It’s quite easy to see the connective tissue to the present genocide being committed. Further proof this is an excellent book by Rashid Khalid

New in PN: The real cover-up is of Trump's disordered mental state "Despite the endless handwringing about Biden Old, a sitting president acting like a cross between a 4Chan thread and Q truly is a major concern — one the mainstream media actively minimizes."

“Where now the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing? Where is the helm and the hauberk, and the bright hair flowing?” My poster/cover art for The Lord of The Rings: The Two Towers. Again, following the book as closely as possible. ‘Great Tales Never End’

The murder of Jonathan Joss, in front of his husband, makes sick and angry. That’s all I have right now. Rest in power, Jonathan ✊🏼🌈

We ride for WoT renewal! Will we ride alone?? #SaveWoT #TheWheelOfTime

White Christian Nationalist Senator Joni Ernst from Iowa flippantly told a town hall member “we are all going to die sometime “ in response to Medicaid cuts. In her sarcastic apology she doubled down by saying those who want to live forever can do so by embracing Jesus. Vote this heartless skank out

We used to be a proper county where shows would come out with new seasons every year.

Proud of this pride

Well this #Frankenstein trailer looks great! Seems to be really honoring the original story. It should be in theatres! youtu.be/x--N03NO130?...

If that finale is what it appears to be, I’ll be taking a break from #DoctorWho Love the show but this just seems too far. Maybe my interests have changed. Maybe that’s okay.

this is the most sociopathic thing ive ever seen and i wrote a whole book about neonazis

"Transphobrs, homophobes, racists, ableists, and xenophobes ruin everything they touch and poison every well they drink from." Is one of the very best things I have read in a long long time. @gailsimone.bsky.social

Shall I be plain? I wish the bastards dead

We are all going to die, but I'd like to postpone it for as long as possible.

Durst thou support a publish’d traitor?

So Musk is leaving the White House.

Fans of #TheWheelOfTime to Amazon: I defy you! #SaveWoT

After Rümeysa Öztürk wrote an op-ed about Palestinians in Gaza, masked, plainclothes ICE agents grabbed her off the street. No one knew who they were or if it was even a real arrest. In a democracy, that shouldn’t happen. And we can’t let it become the new normal.

More like Exposition Sensei, Am I right? The info dumps in #SwordOfKaigen are becoming almost insufferable. #fantasy #books

The real aliens are the humans they met along the way.

Look Who’s Talking Heads

Degenerate bastard

Amazon Prime cancelling #TheWheelOfTime just as it was starting to be something great is such an insulting and shitty move. What’s the point of investing in these properties if they aren’t going to complete them in any way?? And I’m one step closer to cancelling my subscription.

Listen, I can sometimes be a lore whore. But I’d rather not have to constantly consult a glossary for made up words while reading. Especially with an ebook. #Fantasy #Reading #Book

*looks at the world and Events* what if i just dissociated harder

Norm! 😔

Once again, James Gunn & co prove they understand #Superman Damn this looks great! David Corenswet is perfect as Clark and Superman

New post at CAMPAIGN TRAILS on Trump's almost cartoonish embrace of bald-faced bribery: campaign-trails.ghost.io/thieving-on-...

Hey Iowa, I’m running to be your next Governor.

A group of Quakers are marching more than 300 miles to demonstrate against the Trump administration's crackdown on immigrants. Organizers of the march say their protest seeks to show solidarity with migrants and other groups that are being targeted by the administration.

Yet again? What do you here? Shall we give o’er and drown? Have you a mind to sink?

BREAKING: a rival Pope has been declared and taken residence in Avignon, France. This Avignon Papacy is a direct rival to the Chicago Pope and sets up a conflict between AP and Chicago style Catholics.

CDC reports 216 child deaths this flu season—most in 15 years Measles surpasses 1000 cases—first time in 30 years USA has the lowest life expectancy & highest infant & maternal mortality of any developed nation on Earth This is what RFK + the for profit health scam industry has wrought us. Smh

1) USPS did not lose $3.3b. It provided a service that cost $3.3b. *The Pentagon* loses you money, however, every time it accidentally yeets a fighter jet off the deck of a carrier

Okay but does he shit in the woods?

American Pope: The Musical Coming soon to Broadway.

Another day of reminding everyone of Carl Sagan’s eerily accurate warning about the dangers of not being able to ask skeptical scientific questions to those in power or authority.

I feel seen.

Can't remember who said it, but using ChatGPT for your college essays is like using a forklift to move the weights around at the gym. It's the process that's important to your development, not the end product.

We’re overdue for some antipope shenanigans. And it would be in keeping with the chaos of current events. #Popes #Antipopes #Medieval #History www.medievalists.net/2025/05/anti...

Aside from the irony, this is horrendous www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...
