Speaking as an honorary wombat, I approve of this message.

Today (it started hours ago in Australia) is World Wombat Day. These lovable beasts are facing formidable challenges--habitat destruction, cars, mange--leaving 2 of the 3 species endangered.

There are many rescues devoted to aiding wombats either coming out of the wild or going in. Check 'em out!

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV is set to effectively disband Opus Dei in the coming weeks.

This would be the most sweeping internal reform of his pontificate — and a dramatic continuation of Pope Francis’s legacy.

NEW: Pope Leo Set To Break Up Opus Dei

If Pope Leo does indeed approves a plan that effectively dissolves Opus Dei’s structure, it would be the most significant internal action of his short pontificate to date.

Be careful! I’m going to my local No Kings as well. Glad Abbott has not discouraged you.

Do you ever look at what Bluesky thinks your interests are? Right now, it thinks I am interested in 1. The Archers. 2. Mike Johnson. 3. Russell Westbrook. I would like to say I am absolutely uninterested in ANY of those things, and have only heard of one. I now go back to ignoring this feature.

This image is a stylized poster featuring a frog wearing an American flag-themed bandana and the word "HOP" below it. The style is reminiscent of vintage propaganda posters, such as the famous "Hope" poster for Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign.

I actually gave money to his campaign, which tells you how much I am impressed. He is the kind of candidate we need everywhere.

jamelle @jamellebouie.net · 8d

we’ll see how his mayoral tenure shakes out but i am convinced that Mamdani has the juice. not just the charisma to win an election but the temperament to govern and the measured pragmatism of someone who genuinely believes what they’re saying and wants to accomplish real things.

The state goons are powerless before the awesome might of someone in an inflatable frog costume, and you seriously expect me to believe the situation is hopeless?

It’s a core First Amendment principle. This is utterly lawless behavior, for which there will be no (short-term) consequences.

That he does it so casually, as they are walking away, in front of cameras.

Rightly confident in his impunity.

“[t]he freedom of individuals verbally to oppose or challenge police action without thereby risking arrest is one of the principal characteristics by which we distinguish a free nation from a police state.”

I did a playlist for Queen Demon, which will be out Tuesday October 7 in hardcover, ebook and audiobook (narrated by Eric Mok). Published by Tor Books, edited by Lee Harris, cover art by Cynthia Sheppard, design by Christine Foltzer and Greg Collins.

Cover of Queen Demon. Kai is dressed in a teal gold-trimmed coat over a long dark purple shirt, wearing a dark veil scattered with gold coins in his long dark hair. He's in motion, running or leaping toward the lower left corner of the cover.

Real ad. Worth watching. Always a pleasure watching Samuel L Jackson take a bite or two out of That Guy’s ridiculous remarks.
