Everybody who was paying attention in 2015, when we were told that Mexicans were rapists and murderers, knew all along that this evil racist white-supremacist garbage was the goal. What I can't understand about neo-Nazis is why they idolise losers.

For CS Lewis's birthday, a story told by Walter Hooper: 'On the way to an Inklings meeting, he gave some money to a street beggar, and I made the usual objection: "Won't he just spend it on drink?" Lewis answered, "Yes, but if I kept it, so would I." '

_Cordelia's Honor_ by Lois McMaster Bujold.
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

I am so glad somebody in Congress finally said this. Dr Oz, RFKjr, Hegseth, Pirro, they're all jokes. They should never have been nominated, and never have been confirmed. The GOP-run senate rubber-stamped them because they don't care what happens to the country or its citizens.
Reporter: Dr Oz said that—
Jeffries: Who? Nobody who is serious in this country takes Dr. Oz seriously… I’m not going to respond to any comments from randos like Dr. Oz who is woefully unqualified.

The symbolism of Trump standing there completely uninterested after someone collapsed in his office perfectly captures his attitude toward the American people, and really toward anyone except himself.

Some of my relatives were 'Florida snowbirds': people who live up north and go south for the winter. This headline suggests that the Daily Fail has not yet learned that the USA has winter. Maybe someone who works there will one day learn about such advanced concepts. #DailyMail #Mamdani #newyork

_Becoming Superman_ by @straczynski.bsky.social An autobiography which is by turns frightening, infuriating, sad, and inspiring. Reminds me of Mark Twain: 'Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn’t.' 100% worth the read.

_Citizen Kane_ includes a reminiscence about seeing someone: 'A white dress she had on. She was carrying a white parasol. I only saw her for one second. She didn't see me at all, but I'll bet a month hasn't gone by since that I haven't thought of that girl.'
