man when y'all say the mountain is out you are not lying, that's a whole-ass volcano just sitting in the background

This post is aging well and thus sadly

i'm stealing this from someone on twitter but the difference in body language here is due to the fact that both of these men are condemned to eternal damnation in the deepest circle of Hell but only Rubio realizes it

This has been going on in these cases for WEEKS and I feel like it’s time to rule, as a matter of law, that an unnamed administrator violates the appointments clause.

I really enjoyed this one. Bite of unexpected humor and a twist I didn’t see coming. Pay close attention to detail though if you read it. There’s some quips and crumbs of clues you don’t wanna miss.

This scrum of pot-bellied, sunken-chested betas trying to bully an all-black clad badass Eastern European wasteland survivor while dressed like Men’s Wearhouse mannequins is peak cinema.

A guy who used to be a comedian & is good at improv and dealing with hecklers and who has also spent the last 3 years in a war zone turns out to be a guy you can’t out-alpha, imagine that

It's a weird time to be an SFnal professional with a moderate amount of success. You look at what the techno-bros are making of the material they claim to love and…really? _That's_ what you took from Star Trek and Star Wars and all the comic books and novels? That? Right there? Really?

Friendly reminder that Joann Fabrics isn’t closing because it’s a bad business. It’s closing bc it was bought by a private equity firm. This is also what is happening to Hooters and what happened to US Toys R Us and Red Lobster. These companies are being dismantled intentionally.

Dear Governors Since Blue States Generate 80% of the Country’s Revenue can we Stop Paying Federal Taxes since a Convict & Illegal Alien is Destroying The Federal Government? @gavinnewsom.bsky.social

And this morning the Shed is a parliament of owls; deceptively sleepy after a murderous night...

DEATH OF THE AUTHOR has become a UK bestseller, debuting at number 4, 😃. This is my first time reaching official bestseller status outside the United States. What a milestone!

One of the hardest things about writing a novel is carefully doing out the backstory, slowly building the plot, weaving it all into a careful tapestry bit by bit. Opera is like HI SO ANYWAY THE DUKE'S LOST SON ISN'T DEAD, ALSO THAT GUY THERE IS THE BADDIE.

Upon first reading SWORDHEART, my buddy/editor @kbspangler.com accused me of writing self-insert fan fiction with swords.

Oh, fuck no. This is about to get spicy.

“It’s an entirely different political matter when you’re actually considering legislation that is going to negatively impact your constituents’ health care, your constituents’ schools, your constituents’ families. You’re playing with fire there.” - @ezralevin.bsky.social on tonight’s GOP budget vote

Southwest Washington state, your representative needs several thousand phone calls and as many office visits as you can muster, make her hold a town hall and say this to your faces after you voted for a DEMOCRAT

This is when those districts get to hold town halls with empty chairs where the legislators should be, and all the media invited. Op-eds, missing person ads. They'll still get the message even if they aren't there to act indignant and hard done by.

Oh, this is lovely news!

The AP was banned from the event but the French press corps conspired to get a US AP reporter inside and insisted she be allowed to ask her question.

With the demise of Joann's, I'm going to share a few online resources I've found. It's by no means exhaustive, but hopefully it helps folks find what they need. 🧵

House Rs just passed the budget resolution, the first step in their process to enact a bill that'd kick millions off Medicaid & cut SNAP down to just $1.60 per person per meal on avg while cutting taxes for the top 0.1% by $278k - all while increasing the debt 🧵on what's to come and WHERE TO FIGHT

House Republicans just voted to gut Medicaid, which covers 1 in 5 Americans overall, including 41% of births and 63% of nursing home care. They also just voted to gut SNAP, on which 41 million food insecure Americans rely. This won’t just harm people. This will kill people. They own this.

This is what we want.

I mean, no kidding it's a conflict of interest. Listen. I know it feels futile calling your reps right now, but I promise it's moving the needle. KEEP. CALLING.

Rather than violate their oath or comply with Musk’s illegal requests, 21 civil service employees resigned today from Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (formerly the United States Digital Service), stating they would not use their technical expertise to dismantle critical public services.

This week's @theflytrapmedia.bsky.social is me, on a topic I am really passionate about: The mountain of trash produced under capitalism and the way the system wants to make it our fault. We can't compost our way out of capitalism.

Hey, Brian got kicked out of the Carter Library by Trump and crew. If you’re in the area or can pre-order, show some love?

DAMAGE (book 1 of the Ghost Squad series, and also my love song to a particular Matthias Schoenaerts movie) is $.99USD in ebook for the entire month of February. www.lilithsaintcrow.com/the-books/gh...

WELP: NWS Seattle Radar is officially DOWN and NWS says technicians won't be able to look into repairs until Tuesday morning, meaning Seattle is flying radar-blind the rest of the storm (can use Portland and Canada's Aldergrove radar to get fringe coverage)

The City of Coeur d'Alene has revoked the business license of Lear Asset Management, the security goons who dragged a woman out of a town hall with lawmakers over the weekend.

Just came across this show and I’m so angry it wasn’t up and down the TL. Do you know how many Black folks are dying to see contemporary witches? I’m annoyed! But glad I found it now

UPDATE: The Coeur d’Alene Press spoke with the woman who was dragged out of a town hall for heckling legislators, confirmed which security firm worked the event and spoke with Kootenai County Sheriff Bob Norris and Coeur d’Alene Police Chief Lee White about the events.

I've been saying, you can't play chess if the other side is setting the board on fire. You are no longer playing chess. You're now losing at a new game, arson.

sing, muse - of every industrial, goth, and punk space in the 90s where Nazi nonsense was shit up with which no one would put where my big boys, large men, and B.D.E. people of all genders/sizes/ages in black stompy boots at here’s your new assignment 👇

Eagles never have liked 45/7 very much at all.

Dan Bongino was an early member of Groundswell, the secretive group formed by SCOTUS Justice Clarence Thomas’s wife Ginni in 2013 to transform the Republican Party and push it further right. Trump has nominated him to be Deputy Director of the FBI. www.motherjones.com/politics/201...

This is the woman who was dragged out of a town hall in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho on Saturday. She's seeking legal counsel and some help with legal fees.

Also on Redbubble on various items: "Stay on the Path" (I'm still very fond of this piece!) www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/3731...

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Let’s get something clear. The GOP has the power to keep the government from shutting down in March. They control both chambers of Congress and the White House. If they can’t reach a budget deal within their own ranks, that completely on them. Dems: Don’t lift a finger to help them. Not one.
