Maybe a Bad Opinion, but with Trump promising to use the law for personal revenge and choosing evil loyalists to deliver that "justice," I think Biden's right to pardon Hunter. But now he must pardon/commute a shitload of non-Bidens, particularly low-level drug offenders. Last chance many will have.

This, plus largely being excluded from all public spaces and events because nobody masks, is driving me absolutely lunatic bonkers meowing-at-the-ceiling insane. It's nice to go for short walks outside but dogs get to do that. If I lived alone, I'd feel like a real live ghost.

the idea of endlessly commentating on these evil, rancid, huckster monsters as they strip everything valuable in the US for parts every day for possibly the rest of my life makes me want to go hide in a cave and cultivate knowledge of the orphic mystery cult

The whole apparatus of radical conservative domination will do its damnedest to make sure we don't laugh or feel a moment of satisfaction again. If there's a half-full glass, they'll find a way to piss in it. If they can't kill us, they want us to feel dead anyway. www.engadget.com/entertainmen...

The reason Elie Weisel said "no one is illegal" is because declaring people as "illegal" is an early step to creating a permission structure for mass dehumanization and genocide. That's why it matters. We are in the business of words. Accuracy matters in the word business. Intent and context matter

Today, I translated four poems by Sophia Parnok, an out, horny Russian lesbian poet who lived and loved through a revolution, a civil war, and the rise of a repressive dictator. In style. buttondown.com/theswordandt...

There is the Pre-coffee which allows one to get the actual desired coffee. Sometimes happens in a hotel room. It is not ideal state. There is The Coffee aka the main event. Then there is the emotional support coffee I carry around for the remainder of the day. Each one plays a vital role.

This tracks. Toronto designed then redesigned the compost bins like three times? Because the raccoons kept learning how to open the new ones. They are everywhere and they are smart. Lots of adorable skunks too!

Biden won the 2020 popular vote by 4.5 points. Trump has likely won the 2024 popular vote by <1 point. If Trump is "who we are now," then Biden is who we were a short time ago, and I don't think either claim is particularly useful.

This. It does us no good to have this much joy here if we don’t maintain the vibes our communities have long since set up to establish. Being kind and patient with each other is not a hard thing so let’s maintain that (along with our anger too) as we edge closer to what we all know is coming ❤️

I understand the impulse, but—it's a really bad impulse. Old tweets don't drive traffic to Twitter. They might as well not exist to the algorithm. But they're information, history and culture, and it's good for those things to be preserved wherever possible. Elon will not be sad that they're gone.

Remember that meme about "what would you contribute to the post-apoc society?" That was viral poison, getting you used to thinking of people (incl yourself) as tools. Instead, read @naomikritzer.bsky.social 's story The Year Without Sunshine. We gave it the Hugo Award for a reason t.ly/XqOrQ/

My phone just auto corrected "trauma dumping" to "trauma dumpling," so I painted this in case anyone would like a visual of my mental state. How's everyone else doing?

The good news is that this is true. The bad news is that all of history's worst atrocities have been accomplished by groups dominated by genuine idiots.

Part of the con job of Trump and his band of weirdos is this Big Bad Wolf /Bond villain shtick that I have no patience for indulging. They are very bad and are absolutely going to try to do awful and cruel things. But they are not evil geniuses and a lot of them are genuinely idiots.
