I dropped my phone on my face 20 minutes ago and recognized it as a sign to go to sleep, but have I? Someone take my phone away and tuck me in.

I'm sure that in many ways it could be exciting, I just have boundaries where the Detroit Tigers are concerned.

You couldn't pay me to watch 13 innings of Detroit Tigers ball. Not even in October.

I'm saying that arson investigations are typically not hasty things and there usually isn't a quick declaration of what didn't happen before there has been time to establish what *did* happen. And that's for very good reason.

Haven't found or haven't looked?

I like how the news will be like “while the President claiming Portland was ruled by a giant skeleton named Mr Nibbles is not strictly true, it does speak to the anxiety of many Americans”

Ross Douthat treats this guy like they're having some deep conversation about the relationship of Christianity and the government, but the dude is a garden-variety dull, shallow, hateful, worthless bigot with nothing interesting to say, just endless riffs on "God hates everything/everyone I do."
Douthat: So that’s the first purpose of your political project, for America to stop making God angry.

Wilson: Yes. And most people think that when they are confronted with that project, they think that we want to get our tentacles into everything and start controlling everything. I actually think we need limited government. The government should be significantly smaller than it is, and we need to curtail a lot of the busybodyness that we have. That’s why I would call myself a theocratic libertarian. There is a true libertarian element in this, and yet, the transcendent grounding for what we’re talking about means that we acknowledge the authority of God.

We have racked up quite a body count of awful crimes, and I believe the only way out is for us to repent and turn to Christ. This would be things like no more Pride parades, no more drag queen story hours, no more abortion on demand, no more legalized same-sex unions — all of that, done. That’s the repentance part.

Don't overdo it friend. Rest is vitally important for Covid recovery.

Since Link is banned, his mutual aid Fridays have gone with him. This was one of the most altruistic things I’ve seen anyone on this site do.

In light of this, I’m gonna try to fill the gap.

Drop your mutual aid requests under this thread and I will repost them for as long as I can.

Bluesky was all “Everything being public is great, blocklists and labelers are fine, you can’t make an omelette without breaking eggs!” until their CEO got called out using that public information. User who called her out? Permabanned. Labeler lists? The maker ”voluntarily“ dismantled it. Mm-hmm

And the lawsuits will follow promptly. Government shutdowns give presidents no additional authority to dismiss federal workers. We’ll fight these outrageous assaults on civil servants and public services.

As horrific as this is, my guess is that stories about ICE shooting people's dogs will spark more outrage than them kidnapping & torturing the owners themselves.

EL PASO — a family says ICE showed up at their house looking for migrants and shot and KILLED THEIR DOG, then didn’t help them as the agent ran away and was not identified.

Ro Khanna stays fucking up. He's also got his tongue too far up tech's ass to be a legitimate representative for the people in his district whose lives are being made worse, not better, by their tech neighbors.

Who is primarying this waste of space?

Do you really have any rights if they are openly saying they will just make up reasons to detain you?
thematthill.bsky.social
Wow. Greg Bovino admits on camera that his agents can detain people if you look scared, change your demeanor, or grip a steering wheel too tight.

As his unmasked agents walk around with large guns to scare you, they may arrest you just for that — even if you're a U.S. citizen.

I had a momentary laugh that Trump didn't get the Nobel peace prize, but of course he didn't.

But then I had the sobering realization that this is going to cause even more targeting of Venezuelan nationals in the US and murdering of Venezuelans on the open ocean. abcnews.go.com/Internationa...
Nobel Peace Prize goes to Venezuelan dissident Maria Machado: 'Democracy is in retreat'
The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to Maria Corina Machado.

Also, if you are walking around smelling like onions or goats, you probably need to reconsider your bathing regimen, regardless of deodorant use, and possibly see a doctor.
amaditalks.bsky.social
Selling smelling funky as a liberatory practice is a choice. Not a positive choice, but a choice for sure.

There's a lot to be said about how artificial fragrance poses health risks, or about products that harm us in the quest to erase nature, but this? Isn't that.

Ari Shapiro, this line of questioning is profoundly disappointing.
junoryleejournalism.com
David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)
SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

"30-year-old conservative lawyer and activist who is Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, which deals with federal employee whistleblower complaints and discrimination" cancelled his colleague's hotel room so she would be forced to stay with him.
www.politico.com/news/2025/10...
In late July, Paul Ingrassia, the White House liaison for the Department of Homeland Security, arrived at a Ritz-Carlton in Orlando with a lower-ranking female colleague and others from their department. When the group reached the front desk, the woman learned she didn’t have a hotel room.

Ingrassia then informed her that she would be staying with him, according to five administration officials familiar with the episode. Eventually the woman discovered that Ingrassia had arranged ahead of time to have her hotel room canceled so she would have to stay with him, three of those officials said.
