We’ve just got power back!
After a heavy night attack,
they managed to give us some electricity.
Even if it won’t last long, it feels like magic.
Glory to Ukrainian engineers 💪

Drones are attacking Kyiv.
Explosions echo in the severe frost.
And I wonder how much heat, electricity, or water will be left by morning.
The morning will come,
with or without us.

My man, you are 79 years old and well experienced in the arts and entertainment industry. Have you never encountered a bad actor who makes one thing and does another, or heard of someone becoming BATSHIT INSANE and DOUBLING DOWN? Perhaps you could have a look at ALMOST EVERYTHING that is happening?

Greetings from Kyiv,
where it’s -15 °C (-24…-26 expected tonight).
According to the mayor, about 1,000 high-rise buildings are still without heating.
Ours isn’t among them, the heat is low but at least it’s there.
This is our reality. Ukrainians freezing in their homes.

THEY DID IT. EVERY SENATE DEMOCRAT just voted on an amendment to DEFUND ICE (rescind the BBB slush fund that keeps ICE open during a shutdown.) This amendment failed, but it shows broad support! KEEP CALLING and make it a demand to vote for the DHS funding bill!!
👀 Every Senate Democrat + Collins and Murkowski just voted for the Bernie Sanders amendment to repeal the $75 billion in additional ICE funding under Trump’s “big beautiful bill.” The measure failed 49-51.

DreamHaven in Minneapolis is where I discovered Pratchett. I’ve always been grateful to sign there, but now I’m gonna be proud as hell too.
Remember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolis’ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will — now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. 🧊. dreamhavenbooks.com

Another secret! Book reviews don't have to be extensive and thoughtful and deep. You can give a book 5 stars and say nothing, or you can say, "Really enjoyed it!" or "Lovely worldbuilding!" or "One of my favorite authors!" No one expects a thesis. Every review helps.

Look, I'm going to tell you a secret. If you buy an e-book while it's on sale, you never have to read it. If you have $2 to spare & want to help that particular author, you can just chuck the book into the oubliette of your TBR. Every sale helps. The author will never know, but you gave them a gift.

Sure. We’re dealing with, well, fuck knows what Trump is. Some sort of demon. It was always going to come off the rails at some point. But hopefully it can be smoothed over because Ukraine is so important.
