Since there are some peeps coming here from Twitter, allow me to introduce myself:
I’m a GenXer who enjoys comics, books, manga, action figures, knitting, and cats. Not necessarily in that order. I’m also queer and liberal living in a Red State, so that’ll be fun.

(🧵) I’m going to say some things that may cost me followers. That’s only appropriate, given that what I say in this thread is about exactly that: how utterly meaningless everything is right now besides saving America—because without rule of law and democracy, nothing we dream of will ever come true.

Frankenstein twice now, don’t feel crazy saying Jacob Elordi's performance one of my favorite l've ever seen & heard in a movie. Karloff and Falconetti and Brando, a newborn and animal all at once. A monster makes audience members swoon & weep. My group txts say the same.

Fifteen presidents have invoked the Insurrection Act.

Trump claims one president used it 28 times in the course of a single presidency.

The Insurrection Act has been used a total of 30 times over the course of its 217-year history.

Trump: "I'm allowed as you know as president, like 50% of the presidents have used the Insurrection Act. Everybody agrees you're allowed to use that and there is no more court cases, there is no more anything. We're trying to do it in a nicer manner, but we can always use the Insurrection Act."

My full review of @realgdt.bsky.social’s FRANKENSTEIN, which not only reverently restores the thematic concerns of Shelley’s original text, but weaves it into a rich tapestry of mythic Father/Son sagas from Paradise Lost to GDT’s own 2022 take on Pinocchio. Read at @cinapse.bsky.social below!

Gov. Pritzker: "It's clear Trump is trying to militarize our cities, and he's doing that with ICE now....He's also trying to just show off that he is in fact an authoritarian and can do whatever it is that he wants. But we're pushing back and we're winning."

Incredible stuff. Penguin and Club biscuits now have so little cocoa content their coating can no longer be described as “chocolate”.

www.thetimes.com/article/2144...
Why Penguin bars can no longer be described as 'chocolate' Sian Bradley Sunday October 19 2025, 6.35pm, The Times Two of Britain's classic lunchbox biscuits have reduced their cocoa content so much that they cannot legally be described as chocolate. Club and Penguin, both manufactured by Pladis, the owner of McVitie's, have been quietly reformulated, resulting in the coating being downgraded to merely "chocolate flavour". This has forced the retirement of Club biscuit's original slogan: "If you like a lot of chocolate on your biscuit, join our Club", for the less punchy: "If you like a lot of biscuit in your break, join our Club."

I wrote this in May and little has changed. Meetings, diplomacy, press coverage. Then Trump reverts to his core stance: Russia deserves something for its aggression, and it's like totally unfair to Putin (and Trump) that Ukraine wants freedom and is able to keep Russia from taking it away.

A farce.
Opinion | The farce of Trump's Russia-Ukraine peace talks
America’s current leaders place the onus for peace on Ukraine, blaming the victim for the war.
