I'm a small (miniscule) indie writer with too many migraines and not enough income. If you'd like to help, check out my Ko-fi and consider buying something or tipping. It helps keep the lights on and the cats fed!

Nothing remotely resembling an insurrection is happening anywhere in the country. Any violence associated with protest has been isolated, mild, and, in nearly every case, instigated by federal law enforcement. If we let Trump get away with calling dissent an insurrection, our republic is over.
BREAKING: Trump Admin 'Seriously' Considering Using the Insurrection Act, Reports NBC
President Trump is "seriously" considering invoking the Insurrection Act in order to more easily deploy National Guard troops to major cities as part of crime crackdown, NBC reported on Wednesday

Turns out, the MAGA Supreme Court is the one interested in converting your kids through the use of quack doctors with medically unsound practices based on no scientific evidence. "Every accusation is a confession" with them.

Pope Leo is spitting.

www.npr.org/2025/10/09/n...
Leo questioned a world where the wealth of the elite grows "exponentially" while many "millions of people die of hunger or survive in conditions unfit for human beings." He also criticized "ideologies that defend the absolute autonomy of the marketplace and financial speculation," with false promises "that a free-market economy will automatically solve the problem of poverty." Leo described a "new tyranny," which shuns any kind of oversight and where the economy is structured "in such a way that sacrifices are demanded of the masses in order to serve the needs of the powerful." The poor, he wrote, are only allowed "drops that trickle down." The pope openly challenged "prosperity theology" and called Christians to the practice of giving charity. "It will not solve the problem of world poverty, yet it must still be carried out, with intelligence, diligence and social responsibility," he wrote. Popular movements that challenge "the empire of money," invite people to take on the cause to combat poverty alongside the poor, instead of on their behalf, and "make history," the pope said. It our duty, Leo said, to "make their voices heard, albeit in different ways, in order to point out and denounce such structural issues, even at the cost of appearing foolish or naïve."

We need to talk about Russell Vought – But Properly

Why certain mainstream outlets insist on sanitizing Vought as a devout “small government” conservative – and what actually animates his war against pluralistic democracy.

Some thoughts from my new piece:

Day 9: BEWITCHING 🧙‍♀️🐈‍⬛

#SuperBatober #Inktober #inktober2025
SUPERBATOBER 09: BEWITCHING -- Catwoman has just pulled of another of her classic and witchy heists, a cat-eared diamond and cauldron full of jewels in her mitts. Batman is too entranced by her beautiful "spell" to do much about it (at the annoyance of Batgirl and endearment of Supergirl).

I think the worst form of turning one's living space into a showroom is bathrooms where you have to solve a fucking Silent Hill puzzle to find the spare toilet paper rolls. Imagine being so unwilling to let your living space look lived in that people can't know there's toilet paper in the bathroom.

If Alan Moore is such a grouch who hates comics, why is he so frequently loving the medium and giving pull quotes any creator would die for?

After she was cut off, Johnson said he was sorry about her situation but that he still opposes passing a standalone bill to protect military pay amid the shutdown.

Yesterday he said doing this would be “dithering on show votes” instead of focusing on ending the shutdown.
