💗 Happy Mary Sue Day 🧛🏻‍♀️

This is a love letter to fandom, to those who stay up late reading fic, who still argue for your favorite ship, who found themselves in stories.

Never before in American history has one state's military force been deployed in another state over its objection.

I say never because the Civil War involved states whose governments legally ceased to exist, their offices vacated by constructive resignation, with no legitimate governors to object.

LA Taco is member-supported through memberships and donations. I give, and if you live in LA, you should, too.

One of the more incredible stories out of LA this year has been how a taco review blog became the best on-the-ground coverage of ICE raids in the city.

They do a dispatch every day, follow-up on the kidnapped people (which almost no media outlet has done), and fact-check government claims.

I am almost ready to put money on Bari coming out tomorrow on CBS Evening News as 'the new head of CBS News" to bloviate about the October 7th anniversary and make it all about herself

I kind of can’t believe this Bari Weiss quote is even real, and yet www.nytimes.com/2025/10/06/b...

“I know that there are some people in this room who don’t believe that my marriage should have been legal … and that’s ok. Because we’re all Americans who want lower taxes.”

It is pretty annoying that an organizing principle of this administration is "nobody reads past the headline" and to the extent they are succeeding at anything it is because they're correct about that

if you give a mouse a cookie, it'll want a glass of milk. if you give a demon a taste of power, it'll want to, you know, take over your entire workplace or kill a bunch of people. get it iced coffee instead.

"magical" functionality.
"I always say, it's so sad that Kurt Cobain died when he did, because he never saw GPS," Mirren said. "GPS is the most wonderful thing, to watch my little blue spot walking down the street. I just find it completely magical and unbelievable."

I know everything gets reclaimed and has its fandom these days, but we can probably draw the line at reclaiming Nevile Chamberlain

All I want is a politician that says "this is unequivocally wrong and here's what l'm doing to stop it," it's not complicated!!!

@eriktheginger.bsky.social
It actually is. This is a silly, childish position on your part. But don't take my word for it. Google Neville Chamberlain.

a tweet by Dana Gould @danagould that says:

Thinking about Rush Limbaugh and how, now that he's dead, you never, ever hear about him. No one mentions anything he did.
Because what he did had no value.
It contributed nothing worthwhile to the culture. Nothing of lasting value.
He just made anger. Every day.
Rising, blooming & fading like a fart.
Then he died & was instantly replaced by a fleet of little replicas, farting fake fury five days a week.
Creating nothing of interest or artistic value to anyone.
Seriously, what an awful way to make a living.

This just in, Tilly Norwood has been arrested for the murders of Joe and Eileen Bailey, a middle-class couple living on Massapequa, Long Island. The Baileys' longtime friend Chuck Schumer reportedly inconsolable, quote: "I need to find new friends to tell me to capitulate!"
