Honestly, seriously, what the fuck do we do?

I recently got to spend some time learning about the history of Hawaii, and how the monarchy was overthrown by a "Committee on Safety" made up of rich white men, and I couldn't help but think of the "perfection" of the Palleseen Sway in the Tyrant Philosophers series by @aptshadow.bsky.social .

I would respectfully argue that Bat Out of Hell is "bombastic," rather than "pretentious."

The president can ask for it, but it's up to Congress. So keep calling your reps and senators. And Stephen Miller can fuck right off.

The Constitution is clear that only Congress, not the president, has the power to suspend habeas corpus. The Supreme Court doubled down on this in 1865, clarifying that the power was not delegated to the Executive Branch even in wartime.

Andor S2:E6 - "What a Festive Evening"... Holy shit. That was one of the single best hours of television I have ever watched. I don't remember the last time an episode of a tv show made me that tense.

Dedra Meero is my favorite character from Andor, and might be my favorite Star Wars character overall. She is awesome and terrifying.

I will pay $10 on Bandcamp to the first punk band to release a track titled “Couchfucking Popekiller.”

"I ever tell you guys about the first Easter? It was a long time ago and Jesus invited his friends to his house for dinner, and he said, 'Hey, can one of you guys hide these chocolate eggs before the Romans come? And Judas, would you mind feeding my pet rabbit?' Amen."

So, I guess all the thousands of autistic people who actually have paid taxes should probably get their money back, right?

Twitter post/pohoto from JK Rowling who sits on what looks like yacht, taking a puff of what looks like a cigar. She holds a cocktail close to her face and looks smug as fuck. Text on tweet: I love it when a plan comes together. #SupremeCourt #WomensRights.

Text on screen: our.moral.imperative British billionaire JK Rowling has posted several gloating tweets today after the UK Supreme Court ruled that only 'biological women' legally count as women, excluding trans women from legal protections and safeguards. Rowling's vicious smear campaign against trans people in Britain has been going on for several years now and has played a major role in cultivating the extremely hostile and toxic environment that exists in the country towards trans people, particularly in the name of liberal 'feminism'. @fight_for_a_future @rowllingofficial

You all need to treat Harry Potter IP like we’re treating the Tesla brand.

I need to memorize this whole article for the next time I have to interact with my extended family.

Good morning, friends. The European Commission is issuing burner phones and basic laptops to some US-bound staff to avoid the risk of espionage. This measure is usually reserved for EC workers traveling to China. 87 days into the brave new world.

Did you ever see the German film “Downfall,” starring Bruno Ganz As Hitler? It’s a great movie. My favorite bit is at the end when they’re all committing su!c!de in the bunker.

Sometimes, I think it would be great to just skip right to that part.

Of the movie, of course.

Good morning, friends.

"Home-growns are next. The home-growns. You gotta build about five more places. It's not big enough." - the president of the U.S. to the president of El Salvador, 4/14/25

86 days into the brave new world.

Good morning, friends. The DOJ continue to defy the Supreme Court’s order to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia home, arguing that because he is now outside the country, any attempt to get him back would intrude on the president’s power to conduct foreign affairs. 85 days into the brave new world.

Good morning, friends. The Department of Homeland Security's Office of Intelligence and Analysis policy manual has omitted "sexual orientation" and "gender identity" from a rule prohibiting "intelligence activities" targeting someone on the basis of their identity. 83 days into the brave new world.

The administration doesn’t want anyone returning to the U.S. from the prison in El Salvador because they don’t want the public here getting first-hand accounts of the conditions there.

The amount of emails I’m getting from various stores where I’ve spent money, telling me to buy now before the tariffs take effect because all their prices have to go up.

Can you imagine what kind of unstoppable juggernaut the Democratic Party would be if they actually had the funds to pay all the people who showed up at all those events this past weekend?

I cannot begin to explain how much it pains me to agree with Bill Kristol as often as I have been lately.

Good morning, friends. A 1/20 EO raises the possibility of invoking the Insurrection Act of 1807, allowing the president to deploy the military against Americans in times of civil unrest. The Brennan Center called the law “dangerously overbroad and ripe for abuse.” 78 days into the brave new world.
