@foxymoxie.bsky.social and I have been waiting breathlessly since this was announced. We can't wait to snuggle up this evening and dive in! Congratulations @marthawells.com on your apparent triumph!
NPR has a very high opinion of @marthawells.com Murderbot. I dang sure loved the books! www.npr.org/2025/05/16/n...
'Murderbot' is the best new comedy of 2025. You read that right
The Apple TV+ show takes what might be the oldest sci-fi premise there is — what does it mean to be human? — and mines it for comedy gold.

60% of American households can’t afford a minimal quality of life.
Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 — the biggest one-year increase ever.
Our problem isn't a lack of resources.
Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

I have some *thoughts* on Dems like @schumer.senate.gov & @blumenthal.senate.gov sponsoring KOSA *now* even as a quick glance around shows that Trump is implementing Project 2025 and Heritage Foundation has said clearly that KOSA is part of its strategy to censor LGBTQ & abortion info. Like WT?

Earlier today, Chuck Schumer and Richard Blumenthal joined MAGA Republicans to reintroduce the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) — a bill that Heritage itself has proudly proclaimed as central to its strategy of censoring progressive content around LGBTQ issues and abortion.

Lovely walk to a half day at the daycare this morning. I like how the sun shines on the big buildings in downtown Portland. Dad says it’s going to start raining again tomorrow.

They speak of the cost and the pain,
Of peace, and the lives lost in vain.
Then they quietly nod,
Give a wink to their god—
And sign off on killing again.

This! Research shows that protests 1) raise awareness, 2) empower people (especially the disadvantaged), and 3) exert pressure on elites.
Anyone saying they don’t work is unfamiliar with the research and the history of movement building.

Less complaining about how big rallies don't do anything, more brainstorming about how to activate their attendees to get involved with targeted campaigns, direct action, and mutual aid.
