Currently reading the Hugo-nominated SPECULATIVE WHITENESS: Science Fiction and the Alt-Right by Jordan S. Carroll and it is chilling. “My argument is that the alt-right seizes upon speculative genres to dictate who has the right to speculate in the first place.”

Scary things that you may have recently read headlines about that it turned out you didn’t have to worry about include: microplastics in your brain, black plastic spatulas, intermittent fasting, and plant based meat alternatives. Also, no, you do not eat a credit card’s worth of plastic a month.

Mirroring Russia's 2022 invasion strategy of Ukraine, the US Trump regime will deploy troops along the Panama Canal for what it claims is "training, exercises and "other activities"" after months of threatening invasion. Panamanians say the US of launching a “camouflaged invasion”. #panamainvasion

Bay Street bankers are sweating Mark Carney’s rise. Why? Back in ’08, when U.S. banks tanked on risky loans and shady deals, Carney tightened the screws on banks, kept lending in check, and made damn sure their execs didn’t drown in bonuses while the economy burned. #cdnpoli

Now that I'm talking money pit, does anyone know anything about heat pumps or dual fuel HVAC systems? I either have to get another ac and furnace or go with a fuel fuel but like... I don't have time to figure out what all this shit is. I looked on Reddit and people are talking about SEER numbers 🫠

I'm currently reading this rather obscure Norwegian science fiction novel, set in a future global Communist democracy where people use mobile phones. What particularly fascinates me about this book is that it is published in the autumn of 1945, just about six months after WWII ended.

‘Fawning’ is a response where a person gives a servile display of exaggerated flattery in order to gain favor or advantage. AKA: ass-kisser, bootlicker, toady, suck-up brown-noser, etc.

I remember Watergate. I was just a kid, but...I was a news freak even then. I watched Cronkite every night with my parents. Compared to this...the '70s weren't jack sh*t; I have very fond memories of life in America then. 2025 is equal to winning a sack full of assholes and a poke in the eye.

The look he gave her, WOW! He really does hate women, and has no problem showing it. I’m no fan of Hines, but that was beyond disrespectful. She is the wife of one of his Cabinet members. Reminded me of the pig who refused to shake Kamala Harris’ hand after his wife was sworn in. Disgusting…

Perioidic reminder that the reason you didn't see autistic people with intellectual disabilities on the street five decades ago was not because they didn't exist. It's because they were sent away to institutions and their parents were told to put away pictures of them.

Yo! Shoutout to AOC & Bernie for leading by example — showing up, speaking truth & organizing w/the people, not just talking at them from D.C. We need that same energy from all Dems. Whether it’s 35,000 or 35 people — show up. Hit the streets, hit the town halls, show you’re ready to fight for us.

Astonishing RFK Jr interview with NBC. At 23.30 he claims pharmaceuticals are the 3rd leading cause of death in the US [wtf]. He discloses the name & medical history of the 2nd child to die of measles, implies she wasn't healthy & argues about her cause of death. @gorskon.bsky.social

Just another way to screw over our servicemen and women and veterans. My mother often goes to the PX, Class IX, commissary, because it’s cheaper .I know many who only shop on base for this very reason. This wanting to privatize our government and turn it into a business, is purely about greed…

Trump tried to bury this story on a Friday night, but it’s extremely important: He’s planning to take land on the border controlled by the Dept. of Interior and sign it over to Dept. of Defense so migrants “would have trespassed on a military installation,” resulting in harsher punishment.
