Hey, remember a few months ago, when life was fun? Back then, we only had to deal with climate catastrophes, income inequality, intellectual theft by AI douchebags, the election.... Oh, wait. My bad.

Every pre-order goes a long way. It also helps support this killer weird lit indie publisher. My secret hope is that these sale indirectly fuel more Weird Horror magazine and Undertow books in the future. Just want an endless tide of UP entries 🤞. Here's hoping.

Democrats: we can't do anything because in order to properly wield power, norms and traditions say first you need to say the magic words in sixteen different languages only spoken by the Senate Parliamentarian Republicans: We just reincarnated Hitler and cloned him just because

The "eschew adverbs" writing rule is silly IMO. Don't @ me.

You'd think that a president literally referring to himself as a king would be a major headline at the Times, CNN, NBC. Nope.

I am not a big George Orwell reader but I think often of this line from 1984: “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Let me speak to the DOGE audit language. Many people who work in both the Treasury and specifically the IRS are CPAs. Most audit firms hire CPAs. A 19yo coder has absolutely no idea how to accurately identify waste or fraud. Calling what DOGE is doing as a audit, is a flat out lie.

Anytime people bring up the notion of evil, I think about what Sarah Schulman said in her book, "Ties that Bind: Familial Homophobia and Its Consequences".

I wrote about Martin Niemoller and how his famous poem (“first they came for”) is misleading, since it suggests he was indifferent. But he was an active Nazi who hated Jews and socialists. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/martin-nie...

Of all the challenges I've faced in my life, nothing has been quite as difficult as watching my partner suffer with the persistent pain of rheumatoid arthritis in the years since she was diagnosed.

Ask not what your country can do for you...because in a few days, you won't have a country. It's going bye-bye, along with vaccines and food inspectors and those smart people who keep the planes from crashing. They're all fired. Every last one of them. We're erasing America, folks. It's gone.

SCOOP: The top US election security watchdog has frozen all of its efforts to aid states in securing elections. The move represents the first major example of the country’s cyber defense agency accommodating Trump’s false claims of election fraud and online censorship.
