Good morning, gorgeous nerds!
It is still dark and very loud out there, storm has blown in overnight. Can only thank the weather gods for the break in the weather last night!

Goodnight from Gary Bampton, nursing his cold coffee in the Halfpenny cafe rather than face a night where the Children-Made-of-Thorns are walking. Goodnight from John Badcock, knocking on Mother Creed’s door to buy winds for tomorrow’s sailing to the Gore Islands. Goodnight from Hookland.

Thread. (Cheerful disclosure: Started out writing fanfic, more than 50 years ago. Haven’t stopped.) 😄
I actually had a discussion about this yesterday. The hate for fanfiction has 4 components:
1) It directly defies capitalism. Capitalism tells us that only things that are profitable are of worth. Most fanfic is free and so people equate free to bad. 🧵 #fanfiction

I'm finding it very cognitively dissonant to see Dems navel gazing about how to "message" on grocery prices when the batshit crazy president is waging warat home and abroad. I guess that's all they believe we care about but it feels more and more like fiddling while the world burns.

as Jane Austen wrote, "for what do we live but to shitpost for our neighbours, and laugh at their shitposts in our turn?"
Very weird to be reminded many people think the worth of social media is how large their engagement numbers are when for me worth is measured in how much nonsense I can post at friends or to the void and how funny/entertaining/informative other people's posts are.

Well, that's because he's a racist piece of shit. And also he probably doesn't know what day or year it is.
President Donald Trump has not recognized Martin Luther King Jr. Day in 2026 through official statements, proclamation or activity.

[P] I love my knucklehead city
Philadelphia showed up on MLK Jr. Day.
From the Immigration Court at 9th & Market to ICE’s field office, the city marched in defiance: against ICE raids, against state violence, against the killing of Renee Good in Minneapolis.
Dr. King taught us: justice requires action. Philly answered.

1. In one of his most extreme rulings yet, Judge Kacsmaryk compared drag to blackface, said it contained no free speech message, and allowed WT A&M to ban drag on campus.
The ruling is the latest anti-LGBQT+ ruling from one of the most anti-LGBTQ+ judges in the nation.

The judge also ruled that drag shows do not convey any message about gender subversion, exempting it from first amendment protections.
