Yes we have a terrible time with reindeer and unicorns jumping on our roof and frying themselves. It's become quite the hazard. And we have to keep the cats in at night so they don't climb up there and get electrocuted. Young children, too, should not climb on the roof and get on the solar panels.🤦‍♀️

I wonder what sort of hallucinogens he's taking.

Ukraine attacked a chemical plant in Voronezh with drones. They have successfully struck 6 out of 10 of Russia's major rubber facilities.

"Journalists often use the words 'unsubstantiated' or 'uncorroberated' when referring to the allegations victims have levied against powerful men, like Trump. Instead of saying these women’s accounts are not corroborated, maybe it’s time we say they were not investigated in spite of clear patterns."

Earlier today, #SCOTUS denied an emergency application from Democracy Forward challenging the Trump administration's (allegedly) collusive settlement of a case about whether immigration judges can administratively close removal proceedings. 9+ hours later, that ruling isn't on the Court's website:

As a former teacher, I never scrubbed in for a gender reassignment surgery, but I did instruct the kids on how to get the window screens off in case of an active shooter…

El-Sayed on Trump's cognitive tests: "I went to medical school...In my neurology unit, I would have to give that MoCA exam...The only people that you give a MoCA test to are people who you worry may have cognitive deficits. By definition, if you're taking one of those tests, something's wrong."

Brown and RISD students have taken the streets, joined by Providence community members, to demand justice for Nolan Wells and Kohen Wiley! Nolan Wells didn't drown, police executing 1 year old Kohen could never possibly be justified, and we are fed up with the racist capitalist system.

On this day in 1916, police raided Margaret Sanger’s birth control clinic in Brooklyn, the first such clinic in the U.S. The clinic purportedly violated the Comstock Act of 1873, which prohibits circulation of “obscene” or “indecent” information. That act remains in place to date. #WeTheMen

If Americans need our little southern recipe for how to defeat fascism it goes like this: - Put people in the streets by standing for popular demands (wages, healthcare, public services) - Do not engage with fascists online - Do not succumb to doomsayers or media-driven narratives - Be happy

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

Today I took warm socks out of the drawer. The woollen ones the Lady with Golden Hands knitted in the last years of her life. Every time I pass the place where she used to sell them, I sigh. Her smile... It's getting colder in Kyiv.

You can hear a woman screaming that ICE is taking her husband. This incident took place in Stockton, California on the evening of October 25, 2026 around 9PM Pacific.

American conservatives are constantly bemoaning the decline of aesthetic standards and calling for a return to tailored suits and classical Roman architecture, but are now forced to defend the Cheesecake Factory. A constant tension between the Brooks Brothers patrician and the Kid Rock populist.

I hope Gibney keeps his own copy of the documentary so that he can release it on the internet for all to see if need be.
