J.D. Vance is joyously Nazi adjacent. His response to the Politico story isn't why we get to say that, though it makes it clear to normies, his entire internet presence and friendship with and constant casual conversation with neo Nszis lets us say that.

Asher, our Friday fundraiser from two weeks ago, had a successful hip surgery! He is settled in his new foster home with a medical volunteer well-equipped to care for him. You'll be pleased to know his ears were unaffected and still very floppy ❤️‍🩹

Asher lays in a kennel with a huge cone around his neck. he looks directly into the camera and his ears are floppier than ever

Asher lays in a bed with the same cone around his head.

Asher is now in a different bed but this time he is sitting up and looking off to the side. one ear is folded forward while the other is folded to the side

“The Defense Department has confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America,” the Pentagon Press Association said

Oct. 15, 2025
PENTAGON PRESS ASSOCIATION
STATEMENT
Today, the Defense Department confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America. It did this because reporters would not sign onto a new media policy over its implicit threat of criminalizing national security reporting and exposing those who sign it to potential prosecution.
The Pentagon Press Association's members are still committed to reporting on the U.S. military. But make no mistake, today, Oct. 15, 2025 is a dark day for press freedom that raises concerns about a weakening U.S. commitment to transparency in governance, to public accountability at the Pentagon and to free speech for all.

Every year I make a Halloween postcard, and this year @sandyjarrell.com and I collaborated! It features our take on the classic DC characters Cain & Abel from our recent Jimmy Olsen graphic novel, where they’re the co-hosts of The House of Mysteries & Secrets, a horror tv show on Gotham’s own WGBS.

I get called 'nice' or 'sweet' a lot. Which...yes. True.
But that's not my entire personality.

I am *seriously* considering getting this for one of my sisters, who is scarily uber-religous & homeschooling her kids (poor social skills, 9 year old can barely read).

I'm not always nice...

One of the things I make sure to put in my #GURPS historicals--because I can and because it makes the line editor hungry--is a section on typical food and drink. Each book can smell like a different kitchen suitable to the place and time.
