Exactly: THe stories on what didn't get done bc Noem required her personal signature (in additional to call centers, the rescue teams) aren't stating clearly that one reason Noem is doing this is bc she's $1B over budget bc she has blown it all on kidnapping grannies.
Further context: If you’ve never dealt with FEMA after a disaster I can tell you they answer within 30 seconds. No hold times. Real live wonderful people who help while you cry and can’t even figure out what questions to ask. They walk you through it all. Every call.

I imagined the Chatsubo in 1984. 41 years later I opened its door. Neuromancer is in production.

I'm out. Going to a forest to ponder my life choices and follow wild bees in hopes of finding their hive. I've put bee islands in my yard so I can chat with them first.

@cbccpodcast.bsky.social I was trying to recall the name of a 1950s novel that possibly influenced the X-men creation Sunday for the Velocity Comics attendants. It's "Children of the Atom" by Wilmar H. Shiras, published in 1953.

@cbccpodcast.bsky.social Sunday, Ember took me to her favorite comic book store - Velocity in Richmond. I bought "The Best of Godzilla" vol. 1. Found out about "Godzilla vs. the Avengers" and wondering how to get one Wednesday - will there be any left @fourcolorfantasies.bsky.social ?

National protest organizers told people not to protest in DC because “Trump might declare martial law,” says one organizer. These people said “fuck that.” And they’re marching to the White House.

For skeptics. Not that it matters.
My shoebox full of sources' and readers' "thank you" letters do, though.

June 7: Anniversary of 1998 murder of James Byrd Jr. in Jasper, Texas, that led to stronger hate crime laws nationwide.
Worked for Port Arthur News then, met U.S. Rep. Kweisi Mfume, D-Md., 7th District - then NAACP president. Mfume recalls the murder as a turning point in fighting hate crimes.

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by loyalty tests,
starved hysterical naked, dragging themselves through the corridors of power at dawn,
searching for an angry fix,
angel-headed bureaucrats burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night...

every article about politics in every mainstream publication is flat out lying to you if it does not emphasize that our government has been taken over by freaks and lunatics
RFK Jr celebrated the release of the MAHA report by downing raw milk shooters in the White House with influencer Paul Saladino. Hazards of raw milk include Listeria, Salmonella, Campylobacter, Yersinia, E. coli O157:H7, and now-- avian flu.
