Kalshi’s new ad campaign asking parents to wager which under-vaccinated childhood illness will kill their kids is an exciting new horizon in online betting.

Every day is just another confirmation that the same bigots and sexual predators who tried to win with states-first rhetoric in 1860 are trying it with federalism in 2026. And they deserve no less than a traitor’s end for abandoning the sacred causes of justice and liberty.

First #DNF this year. Not a bad #book w/some good advice. Very religious, with Bible verses as supporting evidence on every page, which I tolerated until the authors said research was < Biblical teaching. I’ve had enough of that for one life. Give it to your non-confrontational Christian friends.

A fantastic #book. It’s about Clodia, but also about the fascinating array of women who would have shaped her worldview. It challenges so many assumptions about antiquity. The research is great. Will buy it for the citations and further reading sections alone.

Driving away from Minneapolis today, with a heart both heavy and full. And I'm thinking about how the fascists claim to be fighting in the name of Christianity... They're making this big deal of a protest at a church. They're making these targeted arrests, claiming that anti-ICE is antireligious.

The audio is particularly chilling though. Anyone who followed the propaganda around Gaza knows what “targeted operations” actually ended up meaning.
NEW: Fox News is live from Minneapolis and even their own chyron says it:

“Tensions rising at scene of MN shooting.”

But right-wing influencers are calling it a “war zone” to justify what happened.
A man is dead. People are angry.

That’s not a riot. That’s a community in shock.

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

A remarkable #biography of a figure I only vaguely knew. Enriched my understanding of the provinces of Rome and early Christianity without proselytizing. The author’s passion and knowledge is evident. And it’s a short read in the best way. Loved it! #booksky

When fascists rise to power, they should fall with a noose around their necks.

My favorite part of #Davos was when Carney held up that Uno reverse card in front of #Trump and said, "You know what NATO really stands for? Not A Trump Organization. Bitch." Then all the Europeans all took Trump straight to the Hague on a rail.

#Trump administration announced that Rosencrantz and Guildenstern have been placed into ICE custody. Trump swears he’ll depose Hamlet, “whoever the hell that guy is.”

If this were 2026 BCE, Trump would have already declared himself a God-King.

By the time she describes herself hallucinating Thich Nhat Hanh at yet another spiritual retreat, I realized she and I share a desire for her to leave Earth for Mars. Maybe they’ll find evidence there for an editor could fix this thing and tell her to quit promoting space-crypto. #booksky

Read this #book this weekend. Totally engaging read that half the sci-fi games I’ve ever played are borrowing from, but did not convince me that space marines are a good idea.

I have once again walked into a #library, grabbed #books, given them a card they gave me for free, and walked out with said books. Republicans are right—this is definitely endangering my soul and mind.

the best antidote to blackpilling is remembering that every video you see of an ICE thug abusing their power was recorded by an American who volunteered to put themselves in harm's way for the sake of people they've likely never met and never will
/2 In light of that, I am in awe and deep respect of the people who are still showing up to monitor the ICE Gestapo, protect and defend their neighbors, do whatever they can to hold ICE to account and call out their lawlessness. What incredible bravery.
