I saw screenshots this morning of Trump threatening members of Congress with death for this video but I hadn't seen the video. So if, like me, you've been inadequately online this week, this is what Trump thinks is worthy of EXECUTION.
We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community.

The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution.

Don’t give up the ship.

It's not a foolproof plan but every political debate from now on should be a Normal Guy competition. Ask them to describe grocery shopping in detail. Talk about what it's like to have a friend

We're at the next stag of the authors' lawsuit against Anthropic.

Check the link below to see which of your books they raided and then click through to file a claim.

Four of mine were in there.

It's a tired observation, but imagine the meltdown on the right if a Democrat suggested something like this
Fox guest on how to save money during the holidays:

"Remember, adults don't need gifts. Focus on the people in your life who are aged 3 to 18. Grandma doesn't need slippers. If they don't live by you, don't get them a gift."

If you still wear a mask at all, even just when sick or at the hospital or on public transit, THANK YOU!
If you still try to isolate or protect others when you are sick, THANK YOU.
If you still test for COVID when you have any symptoms, THANK YOU.

It's this but also beyond it.

White supremacists believe POC are here to serve them.

And that we will, no matter what they do to us.

That's one motivation behind keeping POC economically disadvantaged too. Desperate people don't have choices & until a point, are less likely to fight back.
Just heard re: some ICE agents who raided a Chicago taqueria, then went back to the same taqueria for lunch the following week and got confused when the owner kicked them out, and I realized "jesus these doofuses really do believe we're all living in a video game where the NPCs have no memory"

I seldom think of a good comeback in time so when I do...I'm chuffed. At one meeting at The Retired Officer Magazine, we discussed an article pitch about the Pillsbury Bakeoff. A skeptical officer asked "How is that 'military?'"

Without missing a beat, I said, "Because of the doughboy."

Seems kinda huge:

"Epstein survivors have confirmed with democrats in congress that they participated in a massive Biden-era investigation into Epstein's co-conspirators, but Trump and Pam Bondi closed it."

If women are underrepresented in STEM, it's at least partly because men like this offer mentoring, then embarrass themselves by assuming their mentees must be into them, then decide the best solution is to cut ties, which sends the signal to other faculty that the mentee must not be good enough.
The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.

The essence of conservative politics.

Your problem is your problem. My problem is our problem.
BASH: We have seen these attacks from the president at other people. It's not new. And I haven't heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you.

MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think that's fair criticism. And I would like to say, humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics.

In today's feed-yourself thread:

Leftover rice.

I have FOUR dishes that I love for when I have cooked rice left.

Dish 1: rice and egg

This is so low effort. Microwave the rice. Add butter and soy. Fry an egg. Eat.

I can't express how comforting this meal is. So yummy too.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

If you've got a view of the northern lights where you live and esp if you live alone, it is an excellent idea to turn off all the lights in the house other than a small one in the room where you're reading, sit by a window when the sky lights up, and read this. It won't be remotely creepy. At all.
Happy one-year publication anniversary to The Taiga Ridge Murders! It's still among my favourite books of the nearly seventy I've written. eBook and print available:

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

I've looked at all the details of this deal to end the shutdown reached by a small group of Senate Democrats. I've talked to a number of friends on the Hill to see if there's anything I'm missing. Sadly, I am not.

This is a shit deal. It's a betrayal. It's cowardice.
