New story from me about what happens when the abnormal becomes routine. It’s a modern political fable about bureaucracy, complicity, fear, and the small choices people make as institutions around them bend toward something darker. benhrome.com/2026/08/the-... #WritingSky #AmWriting #Storytime

100%, every day, this is me.

I am in sheer awe of the speed of this person's Warhol moment.

First Indigenous Peoples Day where I can say: If you are not fully aware of how the US government has terrorized Indigenous people and our children from its inception, read my book.

And here we are, with Trump and Putin colluding to tamper with another American election again.

From J6 insurrection to Schmitt's humiliation, there is a straight line. The latter covered up the former to confuse understanding of Trump's treason. A THREAD.

When that orange asshole finally leaves the WH, and he WILL be leaving, the American people need to sue him and the rest of his criminal syndicate of a so-called family, for every fucking dime they stole from us. Every. Fucking. Dime.

I legit snorted coffee out my nose at this.

Comparatively, the Duffy Great American Grifter Trip bomb of a series was a smashing success. 🤫

NGL @johnniejae.bsky.social is one of the best humans i know. This thread is 🔥🔥🔥

💥 ICE drag mom & teen daughter out of hospital room—in middle of being treated after car accident. Still wearing hospital gowns. Both victims of car collusion, with asylum case pending in good standing & valid work permit. Grace Calero 39, & Giulianna Carriel 19, from Ecuador.

Right now, someone is having to brief the US leadership that they CANNOT win in a two-front war with both Iran and Canada. And I find that deeply hilarious.

Further evidence (like I needed any more) that I'll be avoiding downtown DC for the next month. When I return, I'll continue flipping off every single thing this orange asshole and his cronies have corrupted. (Which means my middle finger will be getting a workout these days. NW DC is infested.)

The orange grifter and his subservient degenerates continue to destroy our history and culture. The tipping point is nigh.

A Little Less Grit, Please: The Cozy Mystery Where noir sought to make crime and mystery as real as possible, cozy takes one giant step away from that level of realism and looks back at the Golden Age of mystery. darlingaxe.com/blogs/news/c...

This meme holds up oh so well sometimes.

New in PN: A vote away from undoing the civil war "The only role for a functional SCOTUS would have been to deny a cert request by saying, 'Did the lower court stutter?' Instead, we came within one vote of letting the worst people in the country run roughshod over one of America's sacred compacts."

Everyone should be extremely concerned that birthright citizenship was 5-4 and not unanimous.

100%. This session of the Supreme Court was a blow to our democracy (especially the Slaughter decision), and SCOTUS PR chief Roberts is giving us the birthright citizenship ruling last so we'll forget how dangerous this court is. Win the midterms. Expand the court.

This whole thread 🤣😂🤣😂

The “unitary executive” theory is thinly disguised justification for authoritarianism. The conservatives on the Supreme Court have given the U.S. president the power of monarchs. This is happening days before our nation's 250th anniversary. The hypocrisy isn’t surprising — but it’s staggering.

😂😂 “minutes of fun” (H/T @robhuebel.bsky.social )

Now that I'm mostly retired from writing/game design, my main contribution to the industry is serving as a judge for the IAMTW Scribe Awards since 2008. This year's nominee list has been released; you can find it at @daytonward.bsky.social's website: daytonward.wordpress.com/2026/06/25/a...

This one killed me today.

OK we can add "ripping out a state of the art filtration system for the reflecting pool because Obama installed it" to the list of things Trump has done out of absolute bitter jealousy of the first Black president.

Best one yet, IMO.

Post the best photo(s) you've ever taken of your pet (if you're so inclined):

The Dept of Interior claims that the algae in the reflecting pool is left over from rarely used pipes No. Painting the pool dark blue means that it absorbs heat much faster than if it were a light color. Warmer = faster algae growth That's why you don't see black swimming pools Science!

Woohoo! Currently in Detroit for meetings, so having this as a distraction is immensely satisfying today. www.youtube.com/live/aAhm880...
