This guy is ridiculously photogenic. From our trip to Olympic National Park. The dock in Port Angeles. #portangeles #pnw #olympicnationalpark #travel #shibainu #dogs #nature #pacificocean

Make this make sense. 🤷🏼‍♂️

There's a house near my library that had American flags all over it and Trump flags for YEARS. Now all of them have been removed except Confederate. Waiting to see if the house goes up for sale or if they just quietly came down like the other houses in the neighborhood.

Nailed it!!!

With our country on the verge of legal and fiscal collapse, I would like to thank the mainstream media for focusing on the candidate who withdrew from the race and wasn't even on the ballot last November. Just amazing editorial work. A monument in speaking truth to power.

I miss the days where I didn't have to obsessively check where I was spending my money in case they donated to this clusterfuck.

Glad the Surpreme Court did their job.

Reminder that I talk about used book stores and libraries and all the other ways to get my books and how I feel about all of them here: whatever.scalzi.com/2024/12/30/a...

Was waiting for this one since it was in the handbook. It's gonna go over super well. Though maybe unsolicited dick pics would finally be a crime so maybe it's not so bad? 🤔

I haven't attended church in years after growing up in the Christian church. I vehemently oppose organized religion after the hypocrisy I experienced and witnessed. But if my leader did this? I'd consider going back.

Businesses will eat the cost of the tariff like they eat the cost or rising wages right? 🤡

When the mayor of Newark gets invited to a press conference and then arrested on the sidewalk, that's not law and order that's entrapment theater. DHS spun a fantasy while the truth stood calmly in the driveway and got handcuffed. Welcome to authoritarian improv.

Have corporations figured out yet that the buy less dolls thing applies to not just dolls and will hit their bottom line? Or are we still pretending buying Trump's crypto will help you?

Instead of giving people tools to contribute to society we are just gonna build and fund prisons.

Once again begging media reports to get the math right. For example, cutting a $5M five-year grant in year 4 isn't saving $1M, but it is wasting the $4M already spent. Stop letting this administration get away with so many lies.

I'm pissed off today. Really pissed off.

MUST WATCH: AOC just torched GOP lies on live TV. “As a woman, the word was given that my rights would not be taken away by the Supreme Court — and that wasn’t true.” They said our rights were protected. They lied. And now they swear Medicaid is safe? Fuck outta here.

If people are fighting to live paycheck to paycheck among skyrocketing they don't have time to worry about arrested judges or clergymen or losing their rights.

20 ARMED men bust into your home. They claim they’ve got a search warrant. They make you stand in the rain w/your 3 daughters in their underwear. They seize your phones, laptops, your cash life savings. The suspects listed on the warrant? They don’t live there anymore. kfor.com/news/local/w...

Hahahaha PP lost his own riding. Nice job Canada.

Nice job Canada and congrats to Carney. Trump continues his endorsement of losers that began with the Superbowl.

Mallory McMorrow: Christianity is service to others and not sitting in a pew or writing Christian in your Twitter bio. 👏 👏 👏

"People asked me if I thought Giuffre ‘was in fact a fantasist’. Someone who’d made her story up. All that changed this weekend. A dead victim was somehow a believable victim. And it made me feel 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘶𝘯𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘺." ✍️ @maitlis.bsky.social articles.globalplayer.com/7giK6UH1ESfe...

Do NOT BUY FROM MAGATS www.publicsquare.com

To everyone shouting “no one is above the law” referring to that Milwaukee judge: We have a criminal in the White House. A guy who’s proven to be utterly lawless. And you’re perfectly fine with that. So take your “no one is above the law” bullshit and shove it up your ass.

If you're not doing anything wrong you don't worry about people leaking information.

My kindle is dying. I won't buy another. Do people like Kobo?

This is OBSCENE.

Not my usual read but I am enjoying it.. mostly. Just could do without the romance. #booksky

I'm wearing levis right now!

This $5000 number gets thrown around a lot. It's how much we get back from DOGE and now for having a kid. Must be what they think is a lot of money to us...

The fact that economics is waking people up and not the fucking human rights abuse is infuriating.

Trump "considering" a $5,000 ‘baby bonus’ to encourage "births". Meanwhile it costs on average $10,000 to $18,000 to give birth and baby expenses range from $1,100 to $2,500 monthly. Not including rent, food, insurance, and other necessities. This 'bonus' is a joke.

I left the church a long time ago because the people I met there didn't align with what I read in the Bible, but Pope Francis was definitely not one of those people. If my church had more people like him maybe I would have stayed. What a loss.

Enjoying the beauty of the #pnw state parks.

I will continue to shop at Costco and not Target no matter what they do.

Support your local bookshops! #booksky 📚

Chris Van Hollen during his El Salvador presser yesterday: “The Trump administration is clearly in violation of American court orders. [The US embassy told me] they’ve received no direction from the Trump administration to help facilitate his release.”

Judge Boasberg found probable cause that the DOJ is in contempt of his order regarding removals to El Salvador. I explain civil vs. criminal contempt—and what happens next. #ContemptOfCourt #DOJ #RuleOfLaw #ImmigrationLaw #JudgeBoasberg #LegalAnalysis #CivilContempt #CriminalContempt

Stop posting: A1 has won the Internet this week

Damn kids and their A1s.

I'm sure no taxes on tips is next.
