This is the kind of callous assholery that makes my blood boil. That it comes courtesy of a chain gang of inept DOGEbags makes it even more infuriating. www.wired.com/story/lenaca...

I went to see a really good band tonight. Great musicians. Right up until they played Dixie for their closing number. "This one's for two of my great-great grandfathers." I walked out.

@peterclines.bsky.social Just got to the Chapter 31 reveal and it's sooooooooo gooooooood.

Hey, the world is on fire, but my streetcats mobile is back in stock. All the nighttime varmints for the special nighttime varmint in your life, or a completely unforgettable baby shower gift. www.etsy.com/listing/1668...

You guys, I'm going to be honest --- I feel like Spiderman as a teen is fully plumbed. I just want a fucking Spiderman movie where he is in his late forties, his knees don't feel great anymore, Mary Jane is talking about a trial separation, and the newspaper is about to start downsizing.

Just kicking this up for the evening crowd. Disaster bisexual Vikings, draugr, baby dragon feeding schedules...

Hey everyone -- here's something nice for your timeline. Give your soul a break. www.npr.org/2025/02/18/n...

One month of the Trump administration, and even if he and his gremlins were put out on the street TODAY, it would take decades to recover from the damage that they've already done. And I honestly don't think that America is ever going to come back from this in terms of international relations.

This is going to be catastrophic to (among everyone else) an entire cohort of young scientists. There are colleges that are basically suspending their master's programs right now. This administration is blowing up the pipeline of doctors and researchers, and the impact will be ten years from now.

There are a lot of things I miss about not being able to teach this semester (exhibit a: my paycheck), but on the top ten list is definitely the opportunity to abuse my access to workplace printers and copiers.

This. Let’s be done with the whole “run government like a business” bs, shall we?

Murphy: "The game is clear. We can see it. They're not even hiding it. There is not a rule of law anymore. There is one set of law for people who are loyal to Donald Trump, and there is one set of law for people who care criticize him. That is not democracy."

I have no words for Trump and Musk right now that don't involve the kind of statements that would get me banned. In other news, I did finish my taxes.

This is beautiful.

There is no more American or patriotic phrase than "We'll see you in court." GET HIM, KATHY.

To find fraud, you don't need programmers. You need analysts and forensic accountants. And even a huge mob of those, working at double-time, would still be working busily away at ONE government department. Checking receipts. Verifying addresses. Reviewing ledgers. This is one man screaming FRAUD.

Starting my taxes. Really hoping that it's not going to go straight into Elon Musk's hands.

It's #BookQW Wednesday and the word is night. This is an excerpt from the revised exorcism scene. Rarely is the exorcism portrayed from the victim's POV. Here is what is going on in Rachael's head:

"We didn’t become the greatest shirtwaist factory in the world by resting on our laurels. That’s why we’ve brought in a new efficiency czar, Noel Skum, whose job is to cut unnecessary spending and roll back overly restrictive safety regulations." www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/tha...

I don't get personal on main very often, but I spent a few hours writing this, and I want you to read it. It's about my dad and my stepmom, and me, and Stranger Things, and what's happening to the VA right now. www.cheriepriest.com/blog/the-dep...
