New from me: The police are defunding our cities. In LA, LAPD’s growing liability lawsuits are costing taxpayers millions of dollars in payouts. $400m in payouts since 2019. The biggest culprits: protests, police shootings, and car collisions. More👇

Inside LAPD's nearly $400M settlement crisis that's bankrupting LA

Taxpayers are covering civil rights violations and officer misconduct while basic city services face cuts—and a new audit could reveal whether LAPD is doing anything to stop the pattern.

Nearly a million New Yorkers ready to flee NYC if Mamdani becomes mayor — possibly igniting mass exodus: poll

Hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers are prepared to bolt from the Big Apple if socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani wins Tuesday's mayoral race — potentially setting the stage for the largest population flight in US history, a new poll warns.

Reminder to all that scam sites will fake author testimonials with fact-free "AI" drivel. Also, I will never ever ever give a testimonial to any "global reader community" so if you see one from me, you will know it's utterly full of shit. Fuck these scammers for preying on people's hopes.

I'm not going to post the driveling AI text here, but know a) I did not endorse this scam, b) I never wrote a historical fiction novel and the text claims, c) I would not be excited about getting a dozen "reviews" on Amazon, not the least because my most recent work (the one pictured here, 3 Days, 9 Months, 27 Years) has over 3300 actual rankings/reviews on Amazon and over 4,000 on Goodreads. Seriously, now.

If you see any business owners belittling SNAP recipients for accepting government money to get through tough times, maybe look them up on @propublica.org's PPP Loan Tracker to see if they got any of the $793B in bailout money (96% of which was forgiven)

Nearly 8 in 10 Americans agree that spending by wealthy donors and corporations in our elections gives rise to corruption — including majorities of Republican and independent voters.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

We must overturn Citizens United.

This is wild. I tend to give a lot of artistic liberties and believe an artist's motivations for a piece of art have a tenuous link at best to the piece's interpretation. But...

Two judges in RI & MA simultaneously ruled that the Trump Admin must use the emergency funds for SNAP. 🙌🏻🥳

However, there will still be delays - possibly 1-2 weeks - for the funds to be dispersed by the states.

So keep donating to your food banks to help out in the interim!

Headline says "Judges order Trump admin to use emergency reserves for SNAP payments during the shutdown."

Boiling chicken is the worse way to cook chicken. It is bland and all the good nutrients just end up in the water that gets thrown away. It's an insult to the chicken who died for your meal.

Star Trek The Next Generation scene. Tasha Yar, Riker, and Data stand outside with some greenery in the background, a questionably perfect blue sky backdrop, and lots of fog. Yar and Riker have a defensive posture holding phaser pistols, Data is staring at his phone. (It's a tricorder). Closed caption reads, "Spooky " 👻

So we're going to "war" (since the president cannot unilaterally declare war) with Venezuela because... Of drugs? Because the Right's one and only talking point that still works is to scare white voters that all violent crime is 100% due to "the cartels" bringing drugs into the country?

So, it's war, then.

It pains me to say this, but my ex's financial/personal situation is changing and we should be thinking about rehoming Sisko the collie. I don't have room in my apartment for him. If anyone has been searching for the sweetest cuddliest collie known to man, let me know.
