Book #28 Family Trade by Charles Stross (@cstross.bsky.social) Definitely not your grandpappy's portal fantasy. I had a lot of fun with this one. It is full of intrigue, danger, and economics. Capitalism meets mercantilism. A modern woman meets a whole new type of feudal misogyny. Good times.

Estimating crowd sizes without qualifying that’s an incredibly difficult thing to do accurately — unless you’re a telecom, maybe? — is just bad form. How many people showed at my local #NoKings protest? I can confidently say…hella people. At that little parade? Definitely not hella.

Sent to me from a source who took this video yesterday who says LAPD pushed an unhoused person walking in the crosswalk. The fall caused the woman’s head to crack open. LAPD dragged and left her bleeding on the sidewalk, providing no medical care. The person a group of onlookers took her to the ER.

I watch The Simpsons in Spanish because it’s a top-tier dub, and I’ve noticed that the current LatAm!Marge (Claudia Motta) sounded more like classic Marge than Julie Kavner has recently. (That’s not a criticism! Voices age too, and that’s okay.)

For me, the best part of the #NoKings protest today out in [Redacted] Beach was all the elderly protesters. Loads were clearly old hands at this, but a bunch were clearly first-timers. Handed out as many smiles and sign compliments as I could muster, and I am tuckered.

A very good thing about the estimated 2000 #NoKings protests today: The flood of images on social will outpace right-wing disinformation efforts.

When I was but a wee one, I met Duane T. Gish (the infamous Creationist) and demanded he account for plate tectonics. His non-answer was feeble and dismissive.

The best thing about “parasocial” catching on as a concept is it hasn’t damaged the parasocial relationships we have at people, just rearticulated them and set some healthier boundaries for everyone. I cherish my parasocial life. Being invested in strangers and wishing them well is lovely!

Senator Alex Padilla was fulfilling his Congressional oversight duties when he was thrown to the ground and handcuffed. This is no isolated instance; this is a pattern of behavior by the Trump administration. There is simply no justification for this abuse of authority.

Describe your favorite movie in the most misleading way possible: Tom Hanks takes five hundred years to achieve some moral development. Halle Berry waits six lifetimes for him to get on her level.

If you know anyone at Disneyland, give them the heads up that ICE has been reported off-premises stopping guests and Cast Members (including Cast shuttles). I don’t have more information than that at the moment. Be safe!

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”
