Oh is it 1 AM again? This is the problem with having no pups around to put you to bed at a reasonable hour and get you up early for walkies. OTOH, it's currently only 76 F rather than 95 F and I don't have to put the A/C on.
Worked in games, manga, animation, publishing but my fave thing to do is write stories about hot bad guys getting their asses kicked by snarky girls. Los Angeles girl, dog lover, ally, activist. You always have the right to be you & live your best life!

Oh well now I definitely have to see it. I have actually read Frankenstein.
"It's a family trait to push yourself to the limits of #sanity," Cindy says. "My dad jets to a conference in Paris one day and a desert tour in Morocco the next." "Why the frack did parent like yours send you to school in Nowhere, Wisconsin?" Cindy shrugs. "Cuz I'm supposed to kill you." #wipsnips
Kenna notices the sleeveless dress Cindy is wearing, made of fabric thin as tissue paper. "How are you not freezing?" "The world has to turn to ice before I feel cold. My mother wears short sleeves even when she participates in competitive hikes up Mount Olympus in December." "Sounds extreme." >>
Is there any sanity left in the world? Sometimes I wonder...
The future that #climatechange has brought you...
I took a multi-leg trip through the UK, Ireland, France via a cruise ship, trains and a plane back and wore masks in transit and in a majority of indoor environments (with some exceptions when I needed to eat indoors). I got one minor cold at the END of my trip. And I have NEVER had COVID. Mask up!
This is the way.
the thing is if you have a six hour day for eight hours pay & full employment you now have time to enjoy walking your dog. to cook yourself something at leisure. to enjoy taking care of your dwelling. the answer isn't magic robots. it's unions, it's workers getting the means of production
The cat who loved hot jazz. Or really anything that keeps that receiver warm 🎶 And anything that blocks the sound of his brother yowling as we feed the poor stitched back together beast antibiotics and pain meds. Sigh.
They're embarrassed to admit that a product is American and right now, I don't blame them.
I am terrible at being verbal and also fascinated by people so I do this all the time by reflex. People want to talk about their lives and be seen as complex individuals. Also sometimes you can help them understand more about complex issues when they describe what they've already heard / been told.
I swear I am color illiterate. What color goes with reddish pink? I am thinking green. But finding 4 matching buttons will be a challenge. #colors #sewing

Maybe a fan with an icy cold towel over it?
A federal appeals court panel rejects the Trump administration’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to expel Venezuelan immigrants.
What the hell was that. I'm in the hills, nothing screeches like a human at night. Just coyotes sometimes howl. I'm in an area filled with old people and young families. Who screeches at 10 PM? Not a bird, not cars breaking; I know those sounds. My imagination is gonna make up explanations.
Yeah it's nothing new for us. We're pre-ready for global warming because we were already 🔥 hot AF. Current temp here in the hills @ 10pm between the Valley and the sea:
This is not transparency. Nearly everything the GOP just “released” has already been released. This is a pathetic attempt by Republicans to buy them more time to bury this crisis. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.
If you can track the boat on camera to slaughter everyone aboard then you can track the boat on camera to intercept the boat and arrest them
Pritzker: "Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next?"
My grandfathers served during #WWII as young men. My father's dad was in the Navy and passed away before I was born from health issues. My mother's dad was Air Force and passed away at a much older age of natural causes. My father is Navy and retired. I salute you, brave heroes. #veterans #memorial
Trump threatening members of Congress not to sign the Epstein files discharge petition saying it would be a “hostile act” against him is definitely something an innocent person would do. And scheduling a military flyover in the middle of the survivor press conference is also totally normal behavior.
the DOJ atty (& 2x Harvard grad) who suggested Harvard showed "wanton indifference to antisemitism" once wrote a paper from the perspective of Hitler & expressed admiration for Mein Kampf stunning reporting from @hilaryburns.bsky.social @talkopan.bsky.social www.bostonglobe.com/2025/09/02/m...
As concerns that Trump could be deploying National Guard troops as a test run for future election interference, we take a look at one law that will impact stationing federal troops at the polls themselves. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
Calabasas is set to go down to high 60s but I'm looking around the Valley and looks like all of it will stay over 70. Even Malibu is only going down to high 60s at the low point BUT they also get some humidity. Maybe even one lone rain drop while everyone's asleep.
Khanna: It’s going to be a bombshell press conference tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. The American people will hear directly from survivors of the Epstein abuse. And they’re not just going to talk about Epstein’s and Maxwell’s abuse — they’re going to talk about rich and powerful men…

I enjoyed this. And what an infectious laugh. ❤️ "Reporter left speechless after witnessing Japan's new $70 million Maglev train in action at 310 mph"
This is why Silence is Violence! #silenceisnotanoption #sino_charleston
First, the court ruled Google’s search business is an illegal monopoly. But now the judge’s remedies fail to hold Google accountable for breaking the law. This ruling is a slap on the wrist. The Trump Justice Department must appeal to break up this Big Tech giant.
🧵The "Climate Working Group" at Departnent of Energy was Steve Koonin, Judith Curry, John Christy, Ross McKitrick, and Roy Spencer. They are climate contrarians, akin to the antivax scientists RFK Jr put into study the vaccine-autism link. 1/ www.npr.org/2025/09/02/n...
Guess we know why they purged the JAG corps
Bookish peeps, Taschen's oversized hardcover LIBRARIES is worth the cost if you have the budget for it (but you might as well wait and see if Taschen puts it on sale). They also have a smaller and very affordable (US $30) edition that is still high quality. www.taschen.com/en/books/pho...
If you're curious about script writing:
BREAKING: Appeals court REJECTS Trump’s attempt to fire Democratic FTC Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter. The judges ruled “the government has no likelihood of success on appeal,” representing a major setback for Trump’s attempt to purge independent agencies.
Taschen does high quality themed books. Some of them cost a literal fortune, but they also have well-crafted $20 hardcovers covering a variety of themes. They will have their annual sale SEPT 4-7 and I suggest you browse in advance & create an acct if anything catches your fancy... www.taschen.com
batten the hatches for full Trumpworld diversions
I am calm. I am breathing deeply through my nose. I am counting to ten. I… WHAT, ARE YOU AFRAID YOUR DOG WILL INFODUMP TO YOU ABOUT THE FUCKING BALL?!?
The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.
So now you can be on a boat and he doesn't like you so he orders a strike and you die. THIS MUST NOT STAND.
Mass execution without evidence, without trial, and people who are not Americans and we are not at war with them. And they were just mass executed with OUR weapons. THIS MUST NOT STAND.
No. no no no no no no no we cannot let this stand we cannot fucking let this stand oh fuck no
Thanks to AI your survival is now for sale.
Something creative people have always known: If society doesn't deem you productive, doesn't see you doing a necessary job that keeps society functioning, then you are just a waste of resources and space so they will let you starve to death. That's why you must say FUCK NO to AI replacing your job.
NEW: We filed a brief in support of federal workers targeted by President Trump's executive order eliminating their right to collectively bargain. The administration is unconstitutionally retaliating against unions for their protected speech, including lawsuits they've filed against the government.
Stopped on my way to Soulcycle to record an HSI, Park Police, and MPD arrest downtown, and some HSI guys waited until they were in their unmarked car to tell me to smile more.
Hundreds of staff at California national parks to unionize amid Trump turmoil More than 97% at Yosemite and Sequoia & Kings Canyon parks voted to unionize as president enacts major cuts #solidarity www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Short version: Yes guns designed to slaughter ordinary people en masse can be banned.

I craft two-dimensional words using pens and keyboards. What sculptors do with their fingers to clay is like witchcraft to me...
I suspect this is on theme for pretty much everyone today...
*flails* The knives are coming out again!!!!
Release the Epstein files.
Welcome back from the long weekend. The horrors persist:
Over a third of U.S. adults aren't able to cover an unexpected $400 expense, yet many families are forced to pay thousands for their loved ones to be released from jail before trial.
RFK Jr. and Trump tell us they want to Make America Healthy Again. Great slogan. I agree. Unfortunately, they are doing the exact opposite. Vaccines work. They are safe. They save lives. No more conspiracy theories. Kennedy must resign.
Your daily moment of #peace: Solitude and solace; you are nature's only guest here... #landscape #photography #nature #stream

yeah we're dying of laughter on a daily basis
What alternate reality did I just fall ass backwards into?
I feel like my artistic friends NEED to see this:
I'm on the Broken Law podcast talking about the Trump cases against law firms, the Supreme Court lining up with Trump rather than with the law, and the future of the rule of law www.acslaw.org/podcast/epis...
Status report, DIgital Housekeeping dep't: While doing under-the-hood work at the #MindPalate site, realized this post had not been imported. Well, WTF. What's not to love about a #recipe with the comment, "This version makes one large fart"? 😏 "Nuns' Farts": mind-palate.com/pets-de-soeu...
Now back to what Bluesky is really for like saying OMG THAT IS SO KEWWT.
One day that fucker IS actually going to be dead and when they officially announce it, there will be spontaneous disco dancing in every street.
The concept of executive pay is a plague that must be destroyed. Jobs should be required to pay a living wage per hours worked, whether freelance or in an office. Until we have laws that ban wealth hoarding and require living wages we won't be a true land of the free or a nation of equality.
Time to take a doomscrolling break and go eat, my bluesky peeps.
They already didn't want to use their brain if they're letting dipshits fry it.
The number of ways they make it hard to vote in Alabama is just baffling to folks who have never lived in a voter suppressed state. And the reason they do it is because Alabama is over 25% Black. That's it. That's the entire reason. They don't want Black people to vote.
#trump #whitehouse The conference that really matters:
When my editor asks where the draft is
ok I'm tuning out let me know if he just suddenly up and dies
Vance is DEFINITELY constipated.
Even God @thegodpodcast.com is bored at this point... #trump #shutthefuckup
Theory: Trump is actually dead but they couldn't shut the corpse up so they decided to just let it carry on.
#trump #announcement #whitehouse Perfect timing to amplify:
That combover is the hardest worker in that room.
#whitehouse #trump Generic white men one after the other: blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah bl
Is Trump gonna fall over and take a nap in the next five minutes? Anyone wanna start a betting pool...
They don't want to give #Trump the mic back. They are nervous AF about letting him ramble into incoherence.
Vance coping with constipation...
JD Vance looks like he's holding in a very uncomfortable fart.
He turned his head and you could see he's had massive hair loss that the comb over ain't hiding.
Trump Stiffing The National Guard Too Trump is ordering 29 day deployments, to deny $2500 per soldier, per month Housing allowance, and denying Health Insurance. Trump is stiffing national guard troops sent to Washington, DC, resulting in outrage from veterans. www.rawstory.com/trump-infuri...
Okay - okay, what if... Trump died and they successfully reanimated him and now they're trying to get his zombie to behave but it keeps moaning, "Eeeeeepsteeeeeeiiinnnnn..."
They're all clustered together in the White House murmuring, "Doesn't he look #tired...?" #trump #whitehouse #announcement
will they decide to pretend they never made an announcement and then just get on with their day like there was never some guy named Trump like dude your president was always a guy named Vance what is wrong with all of you
Any moment now
The problem with Trump knocking off is, of course, Vance waiting in the wings like a sinister imp eager to wreck everything.
One of the definitive days of this admin imo was the WSJ identifying racist posts from a DOGE staffer - the kind of stuff that would be read out loud to you as HR explains why you're not getting severance - and Vance saying no, we won't let the media cancel people anymore.
The Social Security Administration's chief data officer Charles Borges involuntarily resigned because the SSA Commissioner made Borges’ duties “impossible to perform legally and ethically”. Donald Trump and Commissioner Bisignano are trying to BREAK the SSA.
First it was 2 Then it was 2:30 Next it will be never And we will all celebrate #Trump #WhiteHouse
