Republicans have voted to destroy the United States of America. The rest of us will not allow it. Resist fascism with joy, with anger, with humor, with spite, but however you need to do it: resist!

That there is the Furby of the Sea, you can't fool me by calling it "Amphitretus." LOL

I mean, look at this crap.

"will push voters back to the GOP"??
Time to whip out the ol' Bors cartoon once again.
Cartoon by Bors. Panel 1: Woman looking at phone saying "My GAWD these Trump people are racist." Man in MAGA hat leans in and says "That attitude is what's pushing me to be racist!" Panel 2: Woman asks "Say what?" Man responds with "Might as well! You say I'm a Nazi so, fine, I'll be a Nazi if that makes you happy." Panel 3: Woman gives the man a side-eye saying "It... doesn't." Man holds up coat saying "I bought this Waffen S.S. uniform for Halloween. You'll cry 'offensive' so maybe I'll just wear it every day." Panel 4: Woman is nowhere to be seen. Man is shaving his own head with an electric razor, simultaneously getting a swastika tattooed on his arm, saying "I just hate to do this. I feel bullied, really."

The real question is: how many people automatically meowed back?
Post by @lookwhoshira reading "Thought I was meowing back to my cat for the past hour but it turns out it was just me and my dad meowing at each other from different rooms in the house."

With Alt-text because three, it's important!
You've probably seen him: the pint-sized CBP chief with the nazi haircut and matching wardrobe stomping around the streets of various US cities and terrorizing innocent people. His name, if you're fortunate enough to not have learned it by now, is Greg Bovino. And on Tuesday I diagnosed him as a bitch. This name-calling may seem beneath me, but it's important to understand two things: one, no it's not; and two, humiliating fascists is a surprisingly successful tool of resistance. The genesis of bitch diagnosis started last June when I called US Border Czar Tom Homan one on Bluesky in response to some awful thing he'd said.

Hey, all creatives of X-men, come get your boy.
Post from @xmenfan: "ICE is not the problem, they're saving our country, is because of stupid comments like this that ignorant people think ICE agents are villains when in fact they are heroes. I can't believe you were an X-Men writer. Hopefully your next books perform poorly. I STAND WITH ICE."

For the record before this person hurts someone:
Exchange between @aliceinkeynes and @spaceweft. AliceInKeynes: "It was a primary." No shit, Sherlock, but sentiment hangs around after primaries like a car fart and you all aren't stupid enough not to know that. Spaceweft: Calling someone stupid for pointing out a fact for context is certainly a choice. Have a Snickers or a nap or sumthin. AliceInKeynes: Here's the Snickers you requested. Enjoy. <picture of a little girl in a MAGA cap smiling and watching as someone spreads a large pile of shit on white bread>

Benz is such a jackass.
The lone Republican congressman U.S. Rep. Cliff Bentz, Oregon’s only Republican in Congress, made headlines this year as one of the self-proclaimed architects of new Medicaid work and citizenship requirements passed this summer in the GOP tax and spending cut law, meant to cut funding for the health care program serving low-income Americans. It’s likely to lead to about 7.6 million people losing coverage over the next decade, or a bit less than 10% of everyone in the country who relies on Medicaid, according to the Congressional Budget Office. Bentz’s district will be heavily impacted. About one in three Oregonians relies on Medicaid for their health insurance. But in the 20 counties in Bentz’s district, the numbers are even higher. In Malheur, Klamath and Josephine counties, more than 40% of residents rely on Medicaid, according to the Oregon Health Authority. In Jefferson County, where Bentz is from, half of all residents are covered by Medicaid. But, Bentz said, his office’s analysis of Congressional Budget Office data shows it would cut federal spending on the program by $76 billion to $88 billion a year. “The most important thing that I was focused on is our economy, and making sure that we don’t damage the economy, while at the same time trying to reduce the deficit,” he told the Capital Chronicle about the law.

This ain't it, SFWA. By allowing LLM tools "at any point during the writing process" you are allowing verified social, ecological, and individual harms to be part of the Nebula Awards. Shame on you.

www.sfwa.org/2025/12/19/p...
Our Complete Nebula Awards® Rules take this approach to heart. The rules state: Works that are wholly written using generative large language model (LLM) tools are not eligible. Works that used LLMs at any point during the writing process must disclose this upon acceptance of the nomination, and the nature of the technology’s use will be made clear to voters on the final ballot. To repeat, works that are wholly written using generative large language model (LLM) tools are not eligible. The Nebula Awards honor writers and the work they create, not the LLMs they employ. When finalists are contacted, before they appear on the ballot, they will be asked to disclose any LLMs they used in the production of their work. The voters can then decide if they would like to vote for these works.

I'm fine with rapidly fading into utter irrelevance. But damn it I would dearly love someone to provide a browser, a search engine, a social media platform, SOMETHING online that has NO A.I. OPTIONS. None. Zero. Zilch.

This right here is how you know these experts aren't serious people. Most renters don't have a choice how much to spend on housing nowadays.
"All three experts agreed the best way to figure out how much you can spend on rent is to create a budget."

For those that need it, saved you a click:
In 2007 a forensic investigation into a lock of hair believed to belong to Beethoven suggested that lead poisoning could have hastened his death, if not have been ultimately responsible for the symptoms that claimed his life. Given the culture of drinking from lead vessels and medical treatments of the time that involved the use of lead, it's hardly a surprising conclusion. This latest study, published in March 2023, debunks the theory, however, revealing that the hair never came from Beethoven in the first place, but rather an unknown woman. More importantly, several locks confirmed as far more likely to be from the composer's head indicate his death was probably caused by a hepatitis B infection, exacerbated by his drinking and numerous risk factors for liver disease. "We cannot say definitely what killed Beethoven, but we can now at least confirm the presence of significant heritable risk, and an infection with hepatitis B virus," explained Krause.

Whilst searching for something else, I stumbled on this. Omni Magazine, April 1988

"Omni has asked more than two dozen citizens of the world to share with us their personal blueprints for utopia."

Trump has always been a megalomaniac.
Donald Trump, real estate developer and president of the Trump Organization: When I picture my Utopia, I envision a city - which I suppose is appropriate. But it would be a different kind of city. It would be a big city, and I would be in charge. The people would be active, creative, hardworking, positive, self-reliant. They would possess a healthy self-respect and self-esteem and would feel gratified by their accomplishments and their association with the city. As head of this imaginary city, I would make sure that government, on all levels, budgeted much more money for education and transportation than is budgeted in present-day cities. A city depends on its workforce. Mass transportation must be a priority. In my city there will be no delays, fear, breakdowns. A safe and clean mass-transit system would improve our quality of life - financially and, I believe, spiritually. Teachers would be paid more, schools would be kept clean and safe, classes would be smaller, waste would be dramatically lessened, and discipline would be enforced. For children, teachers, parents - for everyone involved - pride would replace inertia. Beyond my city, I would have to add that I am concerned about the prospect of a nuclear holocaust. In my ideal world, clearly this would not even be considered a possibility. Short of this ideal, I would like to negotiate arms-control agreements with the Soviet Union. Negotiation is an art, and I have a gift for it.

I... no. No comment.
Awe-inspired fans and analysts theorized that her almost omniscient ability to make correct, seemingly high-risk stock decisions may have stemmed from decades spent analyzing and perhaps even predicting decisions that would be made by the federal government that could impact companies’ stock prices. For example, Paul Pelosi sold $500,000 worth of Visa stock in July, weeks before the U.S. government announced a civil lawsuit against the company, causing its stock price to decrease.

Misleading.

His office got calls about Kentucky polls being closed on Election Day, not about Kentucky people wanting to vote for NYC mayor.
“We’re getting calls about polls being closed. They are closed because we do not have elections today. Kentucky votes next year. You cannot vote today in Kentucky for the mayor of New York City or the Governor of Virginia. Sorry,” he wrote.

genA.I. is a theft machine, endangers the environment (primarily in places where vulnerable populations already live), and puts money into billionaire's pockets. Using it to promote making the world better completely undermines your message.
