I have stories. So many relevant stories. I'm grateful that I don't have Poster's Disease.

Sup chat this is Slouching Towards Bethlehem with your boy The Rough Beast, and it looks like today’s stream could be a big one, as some of you might’ve already seen there are rumors going around social media that the hour has come round at last, so we’re gonna get right into it

Stalker? or loving husband who finds my phone.

Are you guys interested in literally anyone else's voters at any other time for any reason at all? Or is it just the most racist people alive, every single time, forever?

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

Politico missed a chance to note that worried U.S. Rep. Tony Gonzales represents the district providing the Underage Concentration Camp in Dilley, Texas. Maybe even ask about it in your interview? Could it be relevant?!

When I first joined Bluesky, I mostly followed radicals because I was interested in philosophies and direct actions. They're yelling at Stancil over 'opsec' and I'm like, "...I've been watching you document your life for two years."

Unfinished. #LiamRamos

I recorded this today, in Portland, Oregon, at a huge march to the ICE facility in SW. The crowd was full of cyclists who had ridden there in memory of Alex Pretti; members of several labor unions; and ordinary citizens of every age, including this little girl. So of course ICE deployed tear gas.

We're being oppressed by Paul Blart: The Mall Cop

I'll search for 'hamster baking' on YouTube and just know there will be videos of hamsters baking tiny pastries. Am I grateful?

At some point a toddler's obsession with mazes and clocks becomes unsettling. Have I reached that point, yet?

We have to keep living. I refuse to live in fear because of some racist loser who thinks Grok is the Oracle of Apollo.

People in my local Facebook groups are starting witch-hunts for anyone not completely outraged and weeping about Charlie Kirk. Two of them have posted at midnight and then woke up (or never slept) in a rage to ruin people's lives. So that's fucking great. All under the Christian cross, too. Usual.

It's like the only time I dust stuff is right before I give it away.

calling for a complete and total shutdown of people vagueposting “oh shit” or “fuck no, noooo!” in reference to some random european soccer team or whatever at odd times of day. the news cycle is 24/7 chaos, what are you doing.

I’m just a kid reaching out to daydreams From a few parts of this land Could you blame me for mistaking Your love of country for hate of man #TheMurderCapital

Bluesky was fun for a week and then it was a descent into madness.

Every ICE asshole is sadistic, evil, and loves being a dumbass.

At an ICE detention center protest, someone brought print-out sheets of the ICE employees and their salaries. People took turns with a megaphone, roasting them, looking them up. They got red, antsy, and tried to intimidate us. We got louder. Remind them it's a shitty job and we hate them for it.

ICE and CBP are monstrous losers who see a number and will keep kidnapping until they hit that number. Do they have anyone in their lives to stop them? There are 20000 ICE Agents - small beans. 60000 CBP. At the very least, roast the shit out of your ICE cousin until he quits. Or let's SWARM THEM

Good news, DOGE! You still have the support of an unlicensed dog groomer raving on the local Facebook group. She thinks you'll bring in money for much needed snow plows for goddamn WESTERN OREGON.

I love this story by @jessielchaffee.bsky.social for lots of reasons, not just because we share the same beautiful library and the shadow of Long COVID. Please read it! Grateful we have spaces like @literaryhub.bsky.social that share powerful stories like this. lithub.com/a-single-ray...

Take a bit of his flesh, for me. Many of you: rend.

I'm relieved to say that the late-night energy burst to get my shit together has followed through to today.

I wish there was alcoholic tea. Warm- wait, is that sake?

Trying to reconstruct a dove while gardening.

Into the sea, out of fire All that burning Into the sea, out of fire All that burning

All the silver tongued suits and cartoons that rule my world Are saying it's a high time for hypersonic missiles

Every speech from Trump is so villianously evil that it requires you to imagine the walls around him dripping with blood.

It was cathartic to stand up and cheer my heart out for @kathygriffin.bsky.social to her face. Hilarious night, too! First date night out since the baby. Wooorth it

Profiles of "regretful" Trump voters are dangerous because it fatigues empathy. Washpo and all them relish in people yelling out, 'who cares, fuck them'. But if they profiled people who DIDN'T vote for pain and are hurt, then we would have sympathy and rally to fight that asshole hurting people.

I hate the meme wars. I love the meme wars.

I wrote about the worst people in the world, charting the depths of their depravity and vastness of their incompetence, and offered some thoughts about the opportunity presented by their failure to acknowledge reality and their refusal to access any form of human virtue. www.the-reframe.com/the/

If Conan O'Brien doesn't get his Mark Twain award, I will honor him by watching his magnum opus- the Hot Ones interview.

Ahh, the sun's going down so the cops are coming out to act like big boys. This feels like the 2020 protests.

I'm impressed by the protest signs. So many different ones and a lot of them are clever. Did people have those in their hearts and spit them out? Lots of different materials, too.

I took DEI classes for Master Gardening and it was history lessons; frank language of the program's origin, the land they stole, and the people they maimed. And lessons to not assume you know how to accommodate someone. Be approachable and work with people to build accommodations.

I hate that the ghosts of my past are intermingled with America's ghosts. It feels like. Well it feels exactly like what everyone else is feeling.

I love America and she hates me.

Trying not to feel powerless. But also not spin my wheels in anxiety.
