In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.
I have to say, as a man with two mothers, I find the derisive deployment of language like "lesbian" and "lover" by those on the far right who are trying to justify Renee Good's death particularly disgusting and dehumanizing. These women. They are wives. They are a family. That's it.
The First Amendment pretty explicitly protects the right to be a fucking bitch to ICE.
Everyone is celebrating him for his (obviously wonderful) songs but I am also celebrating him for releasing all his works into the public domain and insisting he retained no copyrights over any of it.
‘Chris reached out to me and he said, “Look, my brother and I are adapting these incredible books into a television series, and there's a role that I think you would be ideal for.” I was like, “Oh my gosh. Wow. Thank you! That's so kind. Is he really nice, warm, loving, and charming?” No.’

FYI: The Murderbot sountrack by Amanda Jones is for sale on iTunes, etc, and includes the title track and the theme to Sanctuary Moon!
My sage, a week ago. I tried to get a picture of one of the dozens of bees but they are camera shy!
Finished episode 10 of #murderbot.
Mensah is a badass! And Pin-Lee! And especially Gurathin! The Corporation is full of garbage people! Feels all around! Sanctuary Moon to the rescue? “Call me Madame President” “I need to check the perimeter” Yay book quotes! Second season confirmed! Thx for reading

Fingers crossed!
There are only three political positions in America today
1) I like the fascism
2) I'll acquiesce to the fascism (reasons for this one vary: cowardice, access, denial, misguidedly thinking that acquiescence is savvy, etc)
3) I oppose the fascism
The rest is details
Don't do any of this.
Dear #appletv, please make #murderbot merchandise immediately. Thank you.
Finished episode 8 of #murderbot. SecUnit is better at verbalizing its internal monologue. Its micro expressions are becoming macro and hilarious. Gurathin is a major asshole. Lots of feels! “It’s not your pet!” Awkward throuple becomes even more awkward. “I have a plan!” Plus, Clark Gregg rules.
Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.
A four panel comic called Know Your Northern Cardinals. Panel 1 is labeled Juvenile and has a young cardinal with a visible gape and patchy brown and red feathers. Panel 2 is labeled adult male and has an adult male cardinal with his beautiful red feathers, red bill, and black mask. Panel 3 is labeled Bloodcheep, Frightful Molt-demon of the Cursed Abyss and shows a bald cardinal undergoing a catastrophic molt. Panel 4 is labeled adult female and shows an adult female cardinal with a red bill, olive feathers, a few red patches, and a dark mask.
Okay, so here's a comic I made a couple years ago
(Raises hand). New tables and such for my workshop, here.
You might not know her name, but Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough just made some major calls when deciding the fate of Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill.” The good news: this big ugly bill got a lot smaller. For a breakdown of what stayed in, what got cut, and why it matters, look no further.

Instead of CUTTING Social Security benefits, Congress should INCREASE payments by $200 per month and extend the solvency of the Social Security program by 75 YEARS.
How? Make the wealthiest Americans pay a fairer share.
I’ve got a bill to get it done.
Finished episode 7 of #murderbot.
More backstory! Grumpy SecUnit! More awkward thruple! Fights! Introspection! SecUnit saying more of what’s in its head! Alien sex! Gurathin bashing! More bonding! Pin Lee being a lawyer! Lots of whinging!
Another ep not in the book. I worry about a cliffhanger.
It’s like spicy stroganoff!

Pardon me, we can also claim
Martha Wells, Joe R Lansdale, and Howard Waldrop, to name a few authors.
As a Texan who eats chili it breaks down thisaway:
Poor folks added beans.
Rich folks didn’t.
Personally, chili needs a carb to cut it. I eat it over rice, myself.
Fuck these fascists. Protect trans kids.
