Putin has them. And a pee tape...
Mine are also looking very nice...
I think they have been working to decouple the two, and a lot of the events of the last 6 months have inspired more "buy local" and spin up defense contracting and manufacturing.
I think it's impressive if anybody doesn't believe that's what's coming. A lot of us pulled out of our large cap stocks and are looking at Euro funds.
Welp, here we go. Republicans versus Wikipedia. Keep in mind that there are many fascist govts where you already cannot access this site. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
Tis I, Munin. I must remind everybody that during the treasonweasel's first reign he stated through his secretary that he wanted to withdraw the USA from the global postal agreement. He said it was creating an unfair trade advantage for China. There are rural US places that only get Post.
Him + AI. Now let's look up and find out if he is an AI Chatbot.
Too many people believe that boys are intrinsically better than girls. In all ways.
@tkingfisher.com knows.
Reasonable.
We care very much that you support Ukraine.
With news of a reported settlement with Anthropic I went back to check the class action form and it now allows authors outside the US to input their address, so it may be worth adding your known pirated titles (from the LibGen pirate database) www.lieffcabraser.com/anthropic-au...
Relitigate
Because I am pedantic, I must remind everybody that the supreme Court decided that burning a flag was part of your first amendment rights to freedom of expression. Now, the treasonweasel has said he wants them to reitigate that...
Lifelong Republican, and legislative staffer, Ryan Davenport, speaks out against Trump’s Texas redistricting scheme. ‘We can’t vote for Republicans anymore because you abuse every ounce of power you are given and the only option we have left is to join the Democrats….’ Boom 💥
This was completely delightful.
Truth! Spying itself is as old as human kind building cities. How we do it, what we do with the information, who we do it for, and how much harm is involved - these are the important questions.
I had this fabulous idea for a story based on the wheelbarrow thief. Only a great deal more high-tech. Must chat up a bank manager this weekend to see if I'm right...
A lot of these truths didn't make it to the mainstream presses.
I dunno. This Zeitgeist sucks. Kids are growing up with food insecurity, doubts about their prospects for future prosperity, and gun drills in schools. Maybe it's not the phones...
I'm a UBI fan since first hearing about it. We have enough money and resources to make it happen.
It's not even close to the most unsettling questions of our times. Sigh.
Replied!
I also have a native Hawaiian gal who wrote a book I can throw your way. But I bet Kate knows more. :-)
I presume that this account is run by Russians.
A lot of companies want the EPA in charge of setting national climate regulations because it helps shield them from lawsuits and creates a predictable environment in which to make investments.
Also-- Writers, unite! You do not need to be SFWA to be eligible for a lawsuit under the LibGen & PiLiMi Pirated Books Class - but you do need to act soon! Deadline: September 1, 2025. Read more about it here, and spread the word widely: www.lieffcabraser.com/anthropic-au...
Can we all do a shout out to all of the movies we think should have won the Oscar and then didn't?

We know. He's not at all progressive, either. We remember that his ex Kimberly Guilfoyle went off to date a Trump boy. But I would cheer a yellow dog pulling this kind of trolling against that treasonweasel.
Mm, we already have a Denny's...
I may toss it up onto my website for funsies.
A website to watch... is-he-dead-yet.com
I wrote a story called Pond Hockey in Hell once. Never really found a home. No witches.
Just the basics from a lawsuit against our sitting president that should have, for a party with actual family values, disqualified him from running. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
It's beautiful!
Yeah but the owners of most of the major media outlets are definitely Republican. The whole liberal lying media thing is such a load of crap.
If you read the article carefully and all of the links, it doesn't look like Sanger was in favor of eugenics so much as offering opportunities for family planning to poor as well as wealthy. Rich people have been able to get abortions when they want them.
Anyone else silently hoping that Zelenskyy shivs both of them? Probably just me.
The pop-ups on your website when we try to read the article are enough to make one abandon the attempt.
2025 Hugo Award stats have been released. seattlein2025.org/wsfs/hugo-aw...
The ideal Republican plan is eugenics. The ugly core is out there, visible.
I saw her and Peter Frampton perform on tour with David Bowie's Glass Spider tour in 1987. Frampton had a guitar duel with Bowie's guy. He...did not win. But we loved him for trying.
I accidently read that Toni Basil is 81 and I need to go sit down for a spell...
M.N. Lee shares her first novel, Proof of Origin, which belongs on bookshelves right next to Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale for near future speculative literature. A great first novel that reads like a pro! www.writersdrinkingcoffee.com/posts/podcas...
BREAKING: D.C. officials balk at Bondi's order claiming powers over D.C. police A.G. Schwalb told D.C.'s police chief that Bondi's order — purporting to make the DEA administrator D.C.'s "Emergency Police Commissioner" — is "unlawful." Overnight, at Law Dork —>
I reshare this whenever I see it.
"I... Am the horse he rode."
I wish we did. When I was bored with romance I used to set my income for $2 million dollars and call myself a good Christian woman. That raised my scammer percentage to 100%. Generally it didn't take much to fuck with them and get them to erase those profiles.
The modern Republican Party has always exploited and encouraged extremism.

I hope this means that nobody is running the hose for cooling into an AI or blockchain calculating Datacenter.
Visa says they're still drowning today! Payment processors think that we're not organized enough to keep this up but it's we either prove them wrong or submit to global censorship so it's. not much of a contest. Keep calling all 4!!
Wait until it comes up to reverse Loving...
And Puerto Rico and Guam. They have been protectorates for a very long time.
Ok, we've all been sick of memes for a decade or more. But this one is built different.
I will concede given these numbers that Texas has crappy voter turnout. The reasons are interesting though. www.texastribune.org/2024/11/06/t...

Texas has more registered Democrats than registered Republicans. It's a red State entirely because of gerrymandering.
Prepare to be chilled to the bone by this horror-themed anthology from @starsandsabers.bsky.social edited by @jendiagammon.bsky.social and @garethlpowell.bsky.social , and featuring a spectacular cast of #horror writers. Help us reach our goal! www.indiegogo.com/projects/of-...
I presume that computational thaumaturgy run on quantum computing via organic chemistry labs (because cell structure is more stable than vacuum requirements) or in a distillery are the most dangerous of all?
Exhausting! Uplifting! Fantastic! We do a used gear sale, so a girl can get outfitted head to toe for like 90 bucks. Easy entry!
The NCWHL annual Give Hockey a Try Day was a smashing success. 35 new skaters, 11 new goalies. This is inclusion at its finest for women in sports. Know what it's like to live life as a woman? Join us! #HockeyForWomen #NeverTooOld #NoGatekeeping #TransWelcome
Can we assume that these guys don't know how to collect and store and move money? I have the oddest feeling that what will help bring this regime down is a lack of funding because they just don't understand how to collect it, store it safely, and move it around.
Biden has always been coherent. Don't be victimized by Republican rhetoric.
Well I think the deeds are heinous, they were heinous back in 2019 when Trump was president. And Biden as president didn't tell the DOJ what to do or what to investigate. The whole weaponization of the DOJ rhetoric has been largely driven out of the GOP talking points.
So 2024. Election season. Biden had been working hard at doing things that are actually good for the country, good for our infrastructure, good for our manufacturing. Getting real things done. Ghislaine was already in prison. Epstein was murdered during Trump's first reign.
The important thrust of it is the Biden didn't tell the Department of Justice what to do. There are constant accusations that Democrats were hounding Republicans, witch hunt nonsense, weaponizing the DOJ, etc. Every accusation is a confession with them.
I do Loratadine in the morning. No sleepies. Z made me sleepy but also gave me nightmares.
You are amazing! I threw this Kleenex into the air in celebration of you.
Hm. I think it was one brother's birthday yesterday. (Hey, Patrick.) Another brother's birthday tomorrow. (Hey Mark.) Sister's birthday the 17th. Starting to think our family only has sex a couple months a year. Hm...
I was just thinking about the Panama Papers. Remember how Daphne Galizia exposed how the majority of wealthy people on the planet were hiding their wealth offshore in accounts in the Caymans and other tax-friendly places. Remember how she died in a car bomb? Reasons.
I feel like you're trying to call me a liar here, and as you haven't met me you have no idea that I only lie when it's funny. This is not a funny topic. Farewell.
I have Jewish friends are calling it Alligator Auschwitz. You see, they don't want it happening to anyone. And we all know it's a short step past eugenics into extermination.
Suddenly a new revenue stream has developed for the personal shopper. Do you make under $30,000 a year? Would you like to buy airline tickets for people living in the silicon valley? Grab a burner phone and start making money today! jacobin.com/2025/08/delt...
I mean, TECHNICALLY they would buy you dinner. I mean, they did have all those protein bars for the last year and a half...
Publishers Weekly is out with the first big review of SLAYERS OF OLD 😸 They call it entertaining, saying, "Ben Aaronovitch fans will appreciate Hines’s humorous approach to supernatural peril. " www.publishersweekly.com/9780756419684
The queries have started about “What if I only used a little bit of AI for my story submission.” The answer is, fuck AI. Uncanny Magazine doesn't want your story. There is no grey area here. Send us a story using AI for any aspect, it will be auto-rejected and you will be banned. Period.
You know, if they really wanted to make it interesting, they would tax corporate salaries for outsourced Indian engineers, developers, support desks. You want to bring jobs home to America? Hit them where they outsource.
I don't monetize anywhere, but for those of you who do this could be useful to know.
Plus Sports gambling is doing just fine as a distributed system you can load on your phone.
Dude, punk rock emerged an explicit rejection of the corporate music industry. AI is five megacorporations in a trench coat. It’s about as categorically not punk rock as you can get.
This. Reading Rainbow, Wishbone, etc. helped kindle the spark that grew into the conflagration of my life's centering on the written word. Would a poor kid in rural PA have found the same path absent PBS? I don't know for sure, but I know I wouldn't want to chance it.

So if you can afford to go to a doctor, by all means they say go to a doctor. Heh.
Hey congrats to everyone who took the soft anti-vaccine stance of “mRNA vaccines aren’t 100% effective and aren’t useful against future variants so the mRNA vaccines aren’t good, we need to mask forever”, your stance has been noted by RFK Jr. to kill mRNA technology in America.
Alas... variety.com/2025/digital...
Oh Hugh. Matthew. You can't have been this desperate for money. Hell maybe we could have crowd sourced something. But giving your voice to the Harry Potter franchise? H E double hockey sticks to that woman.
I feel like none of these people really understand gravity at any meaningful level.
For the record I'm willing to. If the situation ever came up. Because she's a hypocrite. And now that she's not pretty enough to fit in with the newest GOP plastic female Barbie models, she's discovering that they really don't give a crap about her. Or anyone else they've used.
I feel it would be useful for everyone to go read up on how the Republicans infiltrated seminaries and religious training institutes. There are WAY too many people getting GOP support in talking points straight from their pulpits. "How do you question my faith in JC?" It's real.
Three wins today, August 3, 2025-video edition!
I have heard this from multiple people. My aunt started taking ADHD meds at age 63. She expressed sadness that she could not do 10 things at once anymore, but did find some cheer that she was able to finish things.
