I want these fuckers prosecuted. I will not vote for a candidate who shies away from this.
A teenage boy was walking home in Minneapolis yesterday when four masked men jumped out of a van & questioned him - with no parent or guardian present.

He was bundled into the van & taken away.

Bystanders heard the boy say: “Can I just go home?”

I don’t know how America comes back from all this.

@wyden.senate.gov My desire to vote for you fades with every one of Schumer’s out of touch speeches. Why is he your leader?
Schumer as a major American metro is being brutally occupied by Trump goons: "The affordability crisis will be our focus throughout 2026 because that's what the American people are demanding"

I think I may dislike Schumer more than Trump right now.

My employer outsourced a department. The vendor wasn't able to complete a task. So they emailed the skeleton crew in the department for help. They forwarded the email to me to work on.

Did my employer really outsource this department, or did they just add another thing to my workload?

I’ve got Schumer on my list of people I hope meet their proper end, because he’s proven beyond a doubt he’s a feckless coward who would lick fascist boots if it meant one more day as majority senate leader.
MS NOW: Why haven't you gotten a dozen Dem senators & NYC cops, flown to Minneapolis & said to the guys wearing masks 'We've brought people who know how to operate'

SCHUMER: You're right. We need police officers to tell ICE, 'You don't know what the hell you're doing. You need real police training'

Put down another ~2,300 words on Vampire Detective Agency: Double Date.The first book was about two people falling for each other. This is about how they make that step from liking each other to dating. Which is a lot harder when one of you is a #vampire. #booksky

Trump thugs are killing, brutalizing, and torturing American citizens. That is not an “immigration crackdown.” It’s domestic repression and occupation.
As the Trump administration escalates its immigration crackdown in Minneapolis, arrests and aggressive tactics by ICE and the Border Patrol, many seen on viral videos, have intensified the frustration and fear among residents, business owners and immigrant workers. trib.al/zVm2mk5

My #Nintendo Year in Review for 2025 is pretty weak. Can you spot when I had to put down videogames and focus on writing? Haha.

"We can't just eliminate ICE, then all those guys would just be out on the street." Probably a valid concern but I don't think we ought to be spending billions on a make-work program for psychos. Have them do check-ins with a probation officer

It's a commitment — twelve hours over six episodes — but you should definitely watch Ken Burns' "The American Revolution." It's an extraordinary piece of work and especially relevant given what's happening in the country today. Absolutely worth your time: www.pbs.org/kenburns/the...

Thirteen colonies unite in rebellion, win their independence, and found the United States. Stream the full documentary from Ken Burns, Sarah Botstein and David Schmidt.

1,925 more words into the rough draft of Vampire Detective Agency: Double Date. Almost at the half way point, the aforementioned date, and I'm starting to feel like it's going to be a fun book when done. #writer #booksky

Today might be nearly peak doomscrolling. If you enjoy watching screaming people being pulled from their cars by masked men who whisk them away in unmarked vans… today is your day.

I’m not going to say this is probable cause for a search warrant to search Tim Sweeney’s hard drives for child porn, but I mean it’s several long strides in that direction.
This is a wild hill to die on for someone who creates environments for kids.

Tim Sweeney, CEO of Epic Games (Fortnite/Battle Royale) argues against CP protections on social media/AI platforms, claiming legislators are ‘just censoring political opponents’.

Trying out this “post to social media to promote your book” thing. But doing it this week feels a bit like that comic of the dog sitting and drinking coffee while the world burns. #booksky #vampire #punkrock

I can’t think of a way to say this politely, but fuck this shit. “Don’t shut down the CSAM machine run by nazi’s because free speech” is really showing the lie behind the polite smiles. These dudes just want all the money & respect with no responsibility. Fuck them. Fuck their shit. And fuck nazis.

I mean, I think the most hateful rhetoric I’ve seen lately is an ICE officer calling a woman he just murdered on camera a “fucking bitch”
Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."

Did I buy this TTArtisian 40/F2 lens for my Sony A7C2 just because it was silver? Yes. It also takes nice pictures. And the price feels like stealing for an auto focus lens that has both a manual focus ring and an aperture ring.
