Porn bots "friend" me here about twice a day. I'm done blocking them, they don't interact, they just follow.

I don't care WHO follows me. BOTHER me and I care a LOT.

I hate, HATE, the Big Five labels. I wish them all the ill luck in the world, falling stock prices, splinters under their fingernails, and the ruination of their livelihoods and homes.

It's very subtle, but Haldir's death at Helm's Deep is written, filmed, and performed very subtly - like an ageless Elf is...startled? Shocked?...at dying.

When Boromir dies, Legolas does the same thing - looking at this like, "This is so strange to me. People...die?"

Federal judge busts the IRS in its illegal data-sharing scheme with DHS where IRS was giving ICE confidential info of undocumented immigrants WHO ARE PAYING THEIR TAXES to help ICE find & deport them.

My breakdown of this shocking news and the judge’s scathing order.

NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."

BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

New piece:

Trump’s Fury at BBC Gets Unnerving Results with Pro-MAGA Edit Stunner
First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

Absolutely correct. He's not competent, and he's being propped up by the REAL powers - just a hand puppet of greatest utility.
The president of the United States is insane. Full stop.

Every DCD album is a collection of flawlessness. There are - to ME - some weaker songs, but they're all wonderful on a spectrum of joy.

THIS is my favorite from Spleen and Ideal, because the Siren, the Prophetess, the Oracle - Lisa Gerrard - absolutely tears a hole in my heart with her voice.

Whenever I see a post from the Orange Diaper-man from his "social network" - in all caps, extremely bad grammar, the shrill hysterical bark of a panicky wanna-be dictator whose grasp on reality and sanity are slipping away - I'm reminded of Chancellor Sutler from "V for Vendetta".

Every single day, about a dozen times a day, I go “that can’t be real…“ And then I have to go look it up.

It’s usually real. I fucking hate this.

Why are we allowing the myth that men are “logical” “leaders” and “protectors” continue without challenge?

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.

The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

There is a post circulating on Bluesky encouraging the moving of a frozen turkey straight into a pot of hot oil. We are combating this misinformation the best way we know how - through the power of dance music.

When Bernard Hill passed away, almost every player of Lord of the Rings Online at some point went to Edoras, and stood upon the stairs of Meduseld, and held vigil.

I did - I rode there as my Beorning, and sat with the other knights (in my Bear form, of course) for several hours, reminiscing.

His legacy is far more than King Theoden, but I will always remember him primarily for *this* sequence.

Bernard Hill was...movingly perfect for this role.

Impeachment isn’t an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent.

Impeach, convict, remove. And if our current leaders won’t do it, they need to step aside for people who will: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jo54...

Let’s talk about how Amazon kept a specific mayor in office in Seattle for years to control the return to office narrative. And now 34000 peoplexare being laid off in favor of AI anyway.
There is an actual life-changing conflict between WFH being cheaper and more efficient, an entire layer of middle managers who need to have meetings to feel alive, and the commercial real estate cabal that runs all cities. It’s going to get so fucking weird.
remote work is like birth control or UBI atp where there’s overwhelming research consensus they improve quality of life for people they apply to, yet access is impeded or blocked by the ruling class because the thought of marginalized ppl having rich full lives makes steam come out their ears
