We use Claude at work (don't hate it, actually), but yeah ... all I see is a butthole. And I am so glad it is not just me. (Google Authenticator also looks like a butthole, BTW)

When I was growing up, my parents had one odd and one even numbered license plate. Why?

Gas rationing in the 1970s was odd numbered plates on odd days and even numbered plates on even days. So they could always tank up a car if needed.

The person who said "Don't worry. We saw your show." Is Megan Keller. And yeah, I'm sure she saw it, too.

"How can you oppose war when Khamenei was evil?"

Simple. If you killed Donald Trump by nuking Washington DC, I would not mourn Trump but I'd still say you're an evil war criminal who belongs in the Hague. It's really not hard.

I watched 2 hours of fiction last night and I enjoyed it.

Not that other crap.

congrats to the mens hockey team for letting a demented 80 year old sex criminal steal your shine and make himself the center of your accomplishment

If the USA Women’s Hockey team wants a real celebration and invite ,,, I’ll host them in Las Vegas. Do some nice dinners and shows and good times.

I’m sure I can get a hotel and airline to help me out here and celebrate these women for real for real. πŸ‘πŸΎπŸ‘πŸΎπŸ‘πŸΎ

I was meh on most of it. Except the women's hockey team. I was all in for Team USA there. (Except Britta Curl. Fuck that TERF.) Pretty sure they were not celebrating with Kash Patel.

Champlain sent socks (which she gave to a friend). I think Rutgers sent stickers. I don't know that anyone else sent stuff beyond the emails and letters and maybe Zooms (but she knew where she wanted to go, which didn't actually give her stuff until she committed. Not Elon.)

So you get out your Fascism for Dummies book for the 15 things you do, and we tried to include as many of them as we could in the most artful way possible. How were we supposed to know that this clown car in Washington was going to basically use the same book that we used? So I don't think it's prescience so much as the sad familiarity of fascism and the karaoke menu of things that you go through to do it. You could list them from the show, or you could list them from the newspaper.

Tony Gilroy, creator of Andor, wasn’t allowed to use the word β€œfascism” during press junkets in 2025.

Interesting interview in The Hollywood Reporter.

You heard about it on a Worldcon panel maybe? You messaged me and told me about it and I finally read it. As a former IEP mom... hell yes.
