Right wing propaganda has gone so far down the rabbit hole that it will soon become impossible for them to let Tyler Robinson speak for himself. Or maybe they’ll just scapegoat Patel and Oingo Boingo and make them fall on their swords.
Writer of crime fiction and other things. Father and husband, high school SWE para. Bit of a main character, really. No OF, MAGA, stupid cons.

I really need time to play Disco Elysium.
I couldn’t finish it. The living room scene with all the Muslim v Jew dialog made it lose its appeal.
We have all these people losing their jobs for saying what they feel, but this piece of shit is fine. apple.news/Ae7e7CJlRT3i...
Kash Patel’s eyes remind me of Cookie Monster’s. (Sorry Cookie!)
This got me in the deep down feelings.
Here, here! apple.news/AptKY4kp5R4K...
Truth is stranger than what now? apple.news/AdvJtvbKXTxe...
Because it has to be said: Now is the time when an American President would call for calm and insist that peace must prevail on our shores.
Lonely Dove.
One problem with using the US military to police the narcotics trade is we risk losing to drug dealers. Another is the domestic production of whatever foreign supply we disrupt. Is Trump ready to declare Billy-Meth Bocephus of Florida a national security threat? (The answer is yes.)
You could paint them all like turtles. Turtles all the way down.
Kidnapping. State sponsored kidnapping. apple.news/AQvRdfuGEQWm...
This sounds interesting.

So Trump’s a rat as well as a rapist and a racist. Got it. That will play well for his base.
Hegseth’s poetical turn strikes me as more Bukowski than Whitman.
My wife read it and loved it. It’s on my list.
Not told. Just fed. You know when you find an error in a post two days later, and…
Embarrassing.
Studies allowing, this is my next read.
Real reporters reporting real news. Props.
Trump’s jobs creation program is really shitty. apple.news/Auhjf1hSvS_-...
E4TS doesn’t have the same ring to it that TACO does, but it’s still true. Everything Trump Touches Turns To Shit.
I’d like to hear a definition of “blueskyism,” but I’m betting it’s just empathy-driven public opinion.
2/2 From Waiting For The Fear by Oğuz Atay. Some writing must be shared. I love this bit, and I am nothing if not a proselytizer of good writing. Also, I feel like there’s a reggae beat in there somewhere.
1/2 “Secret sect, my ass, I mumbled. Secret sects, gas and gazettes. With a single match, these gas-soaked gazettes will set the secret sect ablaze. Gazette and sect will burst into flames, the gazettes will burn with the sect’s secret flaming fervor, this gaseous sect’s gazettes will go shzzt…”
I loved her Twyfford Code. I’ll give this a read too. Thanks!
I worry his death before the midterms might shift the focus too far toward giving the “new guys” a chance for the undecideds out there. Mostly I just worry.
Adams’ 6 through 9 are reason enough for me to oppose him. (If I lived there.)
I have Covid and do not have the wherewithal to complete my first assignment of the new semester in one class, which is due tonight. I’ve been fighting that knowledge for three days. Thank you for your words. Going to bed.
Given the sycophantic behavior Trump demands, it will not be surprising if it comes out in the next few years that the translator told fed Trump what he wanted to hear. apple.news/AWYT5ZfsJSni...
That’s good writing.
So when we can’t afford rent or food, we have a back up plan. Trump out here looking out for Americans welfare. /s
I have Covid. It must be affecting my sense of humor because this right here is really funny to me.
Re-upping this again, please spread far and wide:
Read this thread to myself and then said aloud; “Lootsie, I’m home.” My wife is a champion giver of weird looks.
All things being equal, it’s probably best I didn’t discover Tom Waits as a young man. I can’t imagine what I would have been like with him as a hero.
I didn’t hear Tom Waits until I hit 40, so I have to be okay with not having caught this. But I’m not.
Holy shit Tom Waits was Renfield!!! Wow. Just… wow.
And then I see one on antiheroes. That link is broken. Do you have another way to buy it?
The one on Minutes to Midnight, though 1984 and hunger games is intriguing.
Where can I read these essays?
Whole milk mozzarella. For all my cooking and snacking needs.
I’m saying, I saw Spider Man…
They want people to just throw away radioactive shrimp? Shouldn’t there be a protocol followed? www.cbsnews.com/news/walmart...
I think I missed that one. The most recent eevee challenge was a must for my wife and I.
Finals are done, and I have a week off. This is how I’m spending my free time. @herveletellier.bsky.social, thank you for writing this excellent book.
Yeah, it does. Okay, never mind the farting crab question.
This is so versatile!
Did the deer kill the lion? Why did the space crab fart earth? These are important questions.
Very cool.
This dude came and hung out with me while I took my psyc final this evening.
I miss basic levels of competence. apple.news/AUS7RXIWyRXu...
One important thing to remember about the Trump/Putin Summit is that it was not a summit.
Pokémon Go. Not often, but occasionally I’ll spend a couple bucks.
This makes me so mad.
Old Boy actually thinks we hold Putin in the same regard as he does. This appeal to authority shows his disconnect. Again.
Dude looks like Gollum’s cousin who has Botox regularly.
I could watch this all day.
Times like these make me understand the appeal of being a hermit.
Kiss ass.
Cool. I love those little unintended research projects. They are very satisfying.
I did not know that.
My Chemical Marriage?
I have a friend who swears I’ll love Balatro. I play poker and I usually play a rogue in D&D, but I do not see the crossover appeal.
Naw, just put the people first. Before politics, before self, before gain. People first. That’s how you win.
Trump should just come out and tell his base that he was a Democrat when he partied with Epstein. He could sell it as a part of his old sinful self and they would probably still buy it. apple.news/A2xL8MkqCT2O...
Markwayne Mullen is not (wearing a seatbelt) like other girls. He is a carjacker pickme.
Same here, but I do maintain a “dead scene graveyard” file for the stuff I like too much when I edit.
Guns of Roses
Joy. I mean, we’re gonna watch it anyway.
From TACO to plain old chickenshit. apple.news/AvB4C7fclSCu...
The local Wendy’s is going through some things.
What is PIC? I’m hoping that doesn’t mean Picard, as my wife and I just finished season 1 and it was incredible.
Eugene Levy fish.
More or less, yes. But He also threw some bankers around. That gets extra points in my book.
Live your life in such a way that the pierogi vendor does not find you wanting.
Reposting so I can find it later.
I was going to say you lost me at Hamptons, but really you lost me at Cuomo.
Dicked up.
Reading novels is training, after a fashion. I’m 47 and just got around to Chekhov and Naguib Mahfouz. I know how I write, and I really enjoy seeing how other people do it. Writing without reading is like owning a car without driving. Skills fall by the wayside.
Trump wants a ballroom. Let’s give him a rewrite of AC/DC’s Big Balls. I nominate @dropkickmurphys.com to cover it!
Thanks.
Oh. My bad.
Wait, is there a Watership Down series running somewhere? The original cartoon traumatized me so bad as a kid, and I love those rabbits!
I’ll take “things that aren’t a thing” for $100, Alex. Strong arming banks into bad investments seems like a Trump thing to do.
I didn’t think it was that violent. Maybe I’m desensitized. Anyway, it was a good read.
If you exclude my height and income I’m 7 ft 2 and play for the Celtics.
Unintentional Onion. I had to double check what site I was on. “We’ve been planning it for a long time,” Trump said. “They’ve wanted a ballroom at the White House for more than 150 years. There’s never been a president that was good at ballrooms. I’m really good.” apple.news/AL0eKINubSN-...
Then bridge must be a key party.
I think I still owe Columbia House Records for that one.
Assuming one is also willing to ignore the Buffet Indicator, which is why I stopped playing stocks last year. Oh, and the absolute Lori s at the helm of the greed machine. Have to ignore them too.
Thanks!
I get that. I had a piece called The Twilights of December. A friend told me it sounded like a romance novel title. She was right, but I got so mad.
Heheheh. I don’t know, I mean that’s why we edit.
Yeah. A bit on the weird side.
It shouldn’t take a political hack to point out that “getting” women isn’t what makes a young guy a better person. I think these guys hear their own ideas in political theater and it naturally carries over into other areas for them. Sort of a displaced relevance or assumed common ground thing.
Your name makes me think of Beau of the Fifth Column and (say it with me) Pro-toe-say-ah-wits. They resorted to messing up her name too, and it worked against them.
