Good morning and Happy Saturday to everyone who would like to remind America that they have Democrats to thank for bailing dysfunctional Republicans out of their own stupid government shutdown. We are the ADULTS in the room, as usual.

"In Yana, The Touch of Undying" by Michael Shea, published by DAW Books in 1985. The first edition of Shea's third fantasy novel, which shares a setting with Jack Vance's "The Dying Earth" as did Shea's two previous novels "A Quest for Simblis" and "Nifft The Lean".

if you're knocking on my door you better be here to execute me on the porch bc i'm not interested in any other services you could be offering

We are getting presented with a false binary: do we support violence or do we support nonviolence? The choice here is more about a reality that people have only begun contending with. Revolution is coming. The question is whether we will be participants and if so how. My latest.

The rich ruling class has used tribalism to their advantage since the beginning of time. They use it to divide and conquer us. They drive wedges between us peasants and make us fight each other, so we won’t rise up against our rulers and fight them.

What’s next? Media orgs will agree with Trump that he did not incite an insurrection and he’s not really a convicted felon, determined by a jury—and they should pay him protection money for the honor to do so?

If I were a liberal billionaire, I’d think about creating a new media outlet that could scoop up all the talent that’s been marginalized and offer a product that half this country would eagerly pay for. A true public service, but one with profits. Or you know, a big shiny rocket with my name on it.

It's important to put a plane in yer dive bar, after the long tiled highway. David Lynch, get at me.

Look they need to orchestrate a crisis so they can give themselves millions in forgivable loans and raid what they didn’t the first time.

I made a gentleman on social media VERY angry today by implying that He-Man, a cartoon featuring a young man in pink and purple who must hide who he is (a big burly shirtless man) might have homoerotic undertones
