Trump's approval ratings are tanking. He's flailing on the economy. Epstein haunts him. Republicans are beginning to revolt against him.

He's not all powerful.

A tyrant can exercise tyranny only insofar as the objects of his tyranny continue to allow it.

Remember this.

It’s always DM can I roll for investigation and never DM can I tell you how beautiful you look right now? Absolutely, stunning sitting behind your DM screen plotting away at our collective demise.

Hey, if you’re a Seattle/WA author with a book coming out next year and you have a firm pub date, please let me know for potential inclusion in the Seattle Times’s 2026 book preview. (Space is limited but I’ll do my best.)

Drop a link either in replies or at my email: [email protected].

i hope every single person who still buys harry potter merch or engages with that franchise is happy that they're literally making girl guides cry

girl guides uk have been forced very much against their will to exclude trans girls. full statement is here: www.girlguiding.org.uk/information-...
This update includes information you may find upsetting. Please take care when reading. From today, it is with a heavy heart that we announce trans girls will no longer be able to join Girlguiding. This is a decision we would have preferred not to make, and we know that this may be upsetting for members of our community. There will be no immediate changes for current young members, but more information will be shared soon. Most adult roles - including unit helpers, district helpers and administrative support - are already open to all, so we are confident that no volunteers will have to leave the organisation. Girlguiding believes strongly in inclusion, and we will continue to support young people and adults in marginalised groups. Over the next few months, we will explore opportunities to champion this value and actively support young people who need us. We stand in solidarity with trans girls and women.

We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way to get rid of Citizens United. Let me explain. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/how-to-get-rid-of-citizens-united

If you have been sharing that Malwarebytes article on the Gmail thing, you should note the giant correction up top.

www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/20...
Update November 22. We’ve updated this article after realising we contributed to a perfect storm of misunderstanding around a recent change in the wording and placement of Gmail’s smart features. The settings themselves aren’t new, but the way Google recently rewrote and surfaced them led a lot of people (including us) to believe Gmail content might be used to train Google’s AI models, and that users were being opted in automatically. After taking a closer look at Google’s documentation and reviewing other reporting, that doesn’t appear to be the case. Gmail does scan email content to power its own “smart features,” such as spam filtering, categorisation, and writing suggestions. But this is part of how Gmail normally works and isn’t the same as training Google’s generative AI models. Google also maintains that these feature settings are opt-in rather than opt-out, although users’ experiences seem to vary depending on when and how the new wording appeared. It’s easy to see where the confusion came from. Google’s updated language around “smart features” is vague, and the term “smart” often implies AI—especially at a time when Gemini is being integrated into other parts of Google’s products. When the new wording started appearing for some users without much explanation, many assumed it signalled a broader shift. We’ve revised this article to reflect what we can confirm from Google’s documentation, as it’s always been our aim to give readers accurate, helpful guidance.

Did we just set all our clocks to "fall back" right now in the middle of the afternoon? Hell yes. I hate changing of the clock time of the year and having to re-calibrate. It's unnecessary in this day and age-along with so many other things like, you know, masked thugs arresting US citizens.

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read.

They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, the foxes are shown in an assortment of different situations, with Green narrating each scene. In the first one, Green is changing sheets. Green, narrating: I want to change your bedsheets because I love you. Next, Blue and Green are sitting at a table, with big ice cream dishes in front of them. The one in front of Blue has two decorative cookie sticks and a cherry on top, whereas Green's ice cream only has one cookie stick and no cherry. Green, narrating: I want you to have the nicer one because I love you. Then, the foxes are out shopping, carrying bags. Green, narrating: I want to buy you nice things because I love you. Then, in the final scene, Green sneaks up on Blue and licks the back of Blue's neck. Blue is wide-eyed and startled by this. Green: Narrating: I want to bug and annoy you forever because I love you.

Libraries are very important to me. They hold a place of honor in helping me become the person I am. They taught me about the Earth, people, animals, plants, the cosmos, and the Craft. I will always fight for libraries. I 💙 Libraries.

You know at the end of a con when you browse your pictures and delete duplicates or ones of the coupon book? Well, if I scroll a bit back, I find a cat picture, so enjoy.
