Some people really do seem to base their entire political platforms on making other people mad. It's so weird and destructive.

It's appalling how many people are willing to accuse thousands of other Americans of theft and fraud based on the word of a demagogue alone.

It's always possible that Trump is just asshole enough to wag his finger at another head of state and Vance is just petty enough to demand a personal thank you, but I rather suspect they set Zelensky up. What a pair of slimeballs they are.

Some people seem under the impression that an individual leader provided with total unchecked authority will swoop in and fix everything without abusing his power. The rest of us went to history class.

‪'Asked if the Palestinians didn’t want to leave, Trump answered: “They’re going someplace beautiful, they’re going to be in love with it.”' There he goes, folks, trying to pass off the forced relocation of millions of human beings with the excuse parents use for dead hamsters.

I have never claimed to be part of any tolerant left. I can barely tolerate loud noises, let alone fascism.

It's no good telling me to cut the drama. Histrionics ARE my coping mechanism.

I just saw someone refer in a comment to the "last slither of hope." Ordinarily that would be sliver, of course, but last slither appeals to me, like some petty and reprehensible hope is slipping quietly out of the room before anyone looks at it too closely.

From the NYT: "Investigators were also examining Mr. Thompson’s background for signs of a possible motive." Seriously? READ THE ROOM.

This was at Metatopia, and it seems super cool. Take a look at a feminine slasher horror ttrpg by @drowningmoon.bsky.social and consider supporting and sharing of that's your vibe! The author also created the beautiful 2-personn ttrpg "Follow me Down"! 🔪🎲 www.kickstarter.com/projects/dro...

OMG, you all, it was just a cute tagline, and now I'm hearing I should actually finish a novel. That's a lot of work, you all. I messed around for a while with some space cowgirl stuff (I had two fans, but they were two of the BEST fans). I could get back on my '80s girl stories, I suppose.
