Discworld QOTD, from I Shall Wear Midnight “Oh, I feel very angry a lot of the time," said Tiffany, "but I just put it away somewhere until I can do something useful with it.”

Bonus Discworld QOTD, from The Wee Free Men “Nac Mac Feegle! The Wee Free Men! Nae king! Nae quin! Nae laird! Nae master! We willna' be fooled again!”

there are a lot of good people in this country we will win

Washington DC! What's up? I heard something about a Trump Taco, so I decided to stop by.

I'm a deeply flawed individual, but I bring joy to the world.

"I asked ChatGPT and it said..." well I asked the screaming skull cyborg from Robocop 2 and it said "WWWUUAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" and fell over.

if you are looking to move out of the U.S., the wiki in this thread remains an incredible resource It's easier than you think it is. It can be less expensive than you think it is. It is HARD, but you have options

Reports coming in that people managed to break out and escape horrific ICE prison in #NewJersey. "About 50 inmates at Delaney Hall, the ICE detention facility in Newark, banded together and pushed down the wall of a dormitory room..." www.nj.com/essex/2025/0...

Reminding myself that rape is the act of a coward.

WEARING BLACK TO THE PRIDE PARADE! A-C-A-B but the GAYS are O.K.! Video is live now! Directed by Emily Esperanza youtu.be/ohBymqYJ2pk?...

Also goes some of the way towards explaining how terfism, which purports to be a feminist movement, invariably finds common cause with far-right misogynists.

I'll always appreciate the beauty of the old Irish song "Go on Home British Soldiers". I played it in Syria to a friend who immediately vibed with it. I suspect many L.A. residents will too. Nothing more natural than seeing an armed stranger and asking, "have you got no fucking home of your own?"

Calling them "rubber bullets" was an incredible propaganda coup because it makes them sound like little dodgeballs or something rather than big fucking chunks of metal with a rubber coating.

The firing squad loads their rifles. I tap out one final post - "ACAB includes Viewtiful Joe" - as they destroy my entire body with bullets

"Serial rapist's treatment of his victims is once again under scrutiny". See how silly that sounds, L.A. Times? There's video of them shooting journalists in the back without warning, deliberately. The objective truth is that police in L.A. are targeting and assaulting press.

There's this magic moment in a story where you uncover the buried treasure of it, where you suddenly realize "oh, this is the story I'm telling. This moment, this is the whole thing." Sometimes you know what it is before you start a story, but when you FIND that moment? That's the most fun part imo

Okay I am contributing to the Hoochie Cutoff Saejima Agenda 🖊️🦑

O Portland, I love the vibe of your ICE protests. (From Keep Portland Weird).

What’s a movie scene that just *without fail* reduces you to tears no matter how often you’ve seen it? For me it’s the march at the end of PRIDE. Merciless tearjerking, bordering on unfair. When the union song turns into a Welsh hymn I am fucking toast.

Thousands of Chicagoans took to the streets Tuesday night to protest ICE raids and the Trump administration's immigration policies. blockclubchi.co/45N9J5i

Remember Gavin Newsom is just as much a part of the Empire as anyone else. He supports fascist policies with a liberal veneer. Don't be fooled. He sees a US Presidency in his future, not the liberation of people in California.

what the hell is "tactical" is it as opposed to now when they just run in with two million guns and body armor and tanks and just arrest arbitrary people in front of god and everyone

Today is Halloween. I've decided we needed 2.

My mental health is shit right now but goddamn the band rips. Come see a show if you don’t believe www.laurajanegrace.com/tour

i think a lot of this comes back to the fact that Hitler's early life was one of intense deprivation and loss. he wasn't the only Nazi like that but by and large his followers and voters were not reacting to their objective poverty or privation, but the FEELING that they ought to have more.

My cousin has a condition where tissue in their body spontaneously turns to bone. They've mostly lost the use of one arm. Their aunt keeps asking them to play violin with her, won't accept that she can't anymore. They recently said "I'm just gonna have to do it so she can see me hurting."

The people yearn for stories about gay dipshit elves

Isn't it wonderful how in many cases personal cell phones are fucking useless for contacting people in this day and age?
