YESTERDAY, it was the psychedelia of "DAWN BREAKS BEHND THE EYES," but tonight, it's a coming-of-age story from the mind of the low-budget Adams Family. It's 2021's "HELLBENDER!"

This. It goes beyond being out of touch. They're sociopaths. The cruelty is part of the point.

My latest Halloween decoration creation. I put a lot of work into her, including some actual blood on her PVC pipe skeleton, when I nicked myself with the PVC cutter.

Hope you enjoy!

Yup. The pump-and-dump fraud would quickly send Ohio rocketing towards Mississippi/Alabama disaster territory.

"the Finals were also packed with the same season-long afflictions that have haunted the WNBA: exhaustion, injury-depleted rotations, and a game escalating out of control—with a notable chunk of the spotlight falling on the referees"

The WNBA’s Future Is on the Clock

It’s a make-or-break offseason for the WNBA. Is the league headed for a lockout? Or will the players get the changes they’re demanding?

The article is a few days old, but that doesn't change the fact that for this administration, for corporate America, everything is fodder.

You mean as of *checks notes* 2021 it's STILL not safe for a gaggle of young ladies to get together and have a slumber-party? Have these statistics changed as of 2025? I'm sure the regime, er, administration will get right on it. It's "SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE!"

Amen. He also needs to move the argument away from his bruised feelings when the administration insults him, and say "I don't have time to waste with their childishness, I'm here to advocate for my constituents."

I might as well wish for the moon.

I would love, LOVE if reporters just, as a matter of course, started cutting off interviews when it becomes clear that the officials to whom they are speaking are going to obfuscate and lie.

Corvus @corvus1970.bsky.social · 5d

Yup. They still act like it's fucking 1995.

Read this. Especially the final paragraph to understand what Mike Johnson, Trump, Bondi and damned near every elected Republican are afraid of. Who they refuse to stand up for, and who they bow down to. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Tonight, it's time to rewatch a film I haven't seen since its original release in 2002. Fortunately, I don't have to deposit a quarter into the buttcrack of a statue to receive "THE MOTHMAN PROPHECIES."

"Like an incantation, they call the notion of insurrection into being to justify the Insurrection Act’s invocation when no such justification exists in material reality."

The Sinister Reason Trump Is Itching to Invoke the Insurrection Act

An authoritarian’s dream, the Insurrection Act is ripe for abuse — and Trump’s Cabinet is already setting up his justification to use it.
