Watching him destroy the country to steal more money for him & his rich, evil friends makes me wonder wtf people thought “a businessman running the country” would look like. Have these people never once taken a breath in the US? Please never trust your brain again. It’s bad.

Blessed are the frogs, for they keep making authoritarians look incredibly stupid

Men claim women talk too much, but boy if you get that man on a panel, he will over talk every woman present in the room.

Zip ties. Crowded cells. Guns trained on bewildered workers. Foul water. Forced vaccinations. An unconscious detainee left on the floor by guards. A pregnant woman in cuffs. These are the details of South Korean nationals’ experiences in ICE detention after the raid on a Hyundai-LG plant in Georgia.

This is extremely accurate, and it's why I wish editors got a credit on books. Sometimes you learn who edited a bunch of your favorite books and you're like ah. I see. It's a job that requires a keen literary eye AND people skills, which is a tough mix!

its like the old saying goes, if you dont get everything done in one day you should give up. its obviously not going to happen

This strikes me as pretty bad

This furry agent of chaos had surgery to remove a broken femur head from his hip socket, but his light remains UNDIMMED, RAWR

Distribution is THE under-reported story in book publishing (outside of the trade publications) and losing B&T is going to have untold ripple effects on the industry, small presses, and authors.

Horrible, horrible images from Portland:

“You can always recognize a place in which no one is feeling much or any grief for a lost loved one & death, dying, & everyone you love decomposing to bones is just a joke.” Joyce Carol Oates

Yet another poll finding the same thing polls have found for months: 66% of Israelis want to end the war, 69% think Netanyahu should resign either now or after the war. www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent...

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

1-866-952-4456 to tell Netflix that in no way do you want Elon fucking Musk determining what you watch.

I just called, got through in about 15 seconds, and told them that I strongly support queer inclusion in their programming and that I will cancel my subscription if they cave.

This probably sounds minor to many of you but closing the commissaries will....not be taken lightly by the US all-volunteer standing military. The PX is everything (literally, as it's not just groceries!)

I'm THRILLED to share the cover of my speculative fiction debut, HOLLOWAY (pub date 5/4/26! art by Sarah Jarrett, cover designed by Corina Lupp & Jenna Stempel-Lobel). Autism? Anti-vaxxers? Art? Philosophy? Reverberations & cycles through history? If you say "yes, please," then HOLLOWAY is for you.

The President is unwell.

PBS comments: “his remarks were rambling and incoherent,” in multiple appearances.

The Guardian calls some of his speeches “baffling” and “weirder than ever.”

Cambridge analysis says that his statements often require “translation” or annotation to make sense.

To anyone reading this. Coming from someone who initially thought my child was just being picky, but would not eat when they "got hungry", food aversion is very real and I'm so lucky we figured it out before they developed ARFID.

Listen to your children, even if they're too young to talk.

Re: DC generally and the Metro specifically, if living in Oakland for 13 years has taught me anything, it's that a lot of people can't tell the difference between being unsafe and the mere presence of non-white people.

One of my favorite anecdotes from THE PREHISTORY OF THE FAR SIDE: "That doesn't sound like the Jane Goodall we know."

It's @halseanderson.bsky.social, HOORAY!
She's the greatest, you know

RIP Jane Goodall, by all accounts a wonderful woman who loved this Far Side cartoon

quick while the government is shut down let’s all switch to metric
