Someone ought to research the detriment AI has had over the publishing industry… and how deeply it has planted a seed of distrust in a mindful audience. Then again, the Witchy War is over 400% kickstarter-funded at the time of this skeet so…

Got treated today

I am reading Rice’s Interview with the Vampire and I need Kirsten Dunst to tell me she had a good time filming that movie cuz good lord… girl…

Talarico folded so fast on queer issues that if there ever was any doubt he a bred and proud Texan, they have been definitely put to rest

Cubans dislike communism, not totalitarianism. Never change Hialeah 🥀🫠

Schumer just waiting for the right moment to cave in in the masochistic game of political edging he likes to drag us all every couple months:

Trans people suffer the highest rates of abuse and rape in immigration prisons. ICE’s new private prison contracts eliminate what few protections existed. From @whitneycwimbish.bsky.social: trib.al/8eJ1Qfz

Every time she comes up, I remind you all that Pamela Paul killed a pro trans paragraph in a review I wrote for the New York Times, lied about it in the press, then when I confronted her with receipts, said “Let’s keep this to ourselves.”

Many readers now think of Margaret Wise Brown titles like “The Runaway Bunny” as tranquil introductions to storytelling. But the books, like their author, were radical for their time.

I choose to believe these are all real people

Listen closely as Carl Sagan explains how regular people can create change!

Republicans think they won… but wait until Chuck Schumer gets on public tv and trashes Mamdani… that will show ‘em!

Iran, please don’t! We were scared of the queers, blacks and browns, so the algorithm fed us a lot of AI generated slop made by neo-fascists and bots asking us to vote for a rapist felon in order to lower the price of eggs and gas by $2! You have to understand why we needed to LARP dog for Israel!

Praising the “prosperity” of the dictatorship while blithely ignoring its repression, a far-right manifesto in Spain is part of a larger effort—Platform 2025—to protest the government’s plans to commemorate the transition to democracy on the semicentennial of Franco’s death later this year.

CATO: “New nonpublic data from ICE indicates the government is primarily detaining individuals with no criminal convictions of any kind… 93% had no violent convictions… 65% no criminal record at all…” @MarshaBlackburn www.cato.org/blog/65-peop...

Can someone please explain to me the fascist stage we’re in now that I see this “commercial” in fucking @noticiastelemundo.com !?!?!

NEW: Sources tell my office that Treasury Secretary Bessent has granted DOGE *full* access to this system. Social Security and Medicare benefits, grants, payments to government contractors, including those that compete directly with Musk's own companies. All of it.

Fun fact: Florida is not only our most flaccid dick shaped state, but we act like it too!

I've programmed my computer to auto-replace "Trump" with "convicted felon Donald Trump" when I type because I don't have the guts to call him "the rapist Donald Trump."

I say this unironically and knowing this is a controversial take: we need to also get in the game of misinformation—at least for the times ahead.

“I see a difference, definitely,” said Tony, who has spent 18 years as a bus operator for the MTA. “There have been no delays the entire week, and when I look to my left and right down the avenues I can see all the way down – I’ve never seen it like that.” nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/01/10/m...

I don’t know what his layer was thinking lmao. Not only was there an admission of this, but when asked about a college-related assault, they denied it… just to then disclose and admit to an assault previously unknown and un-cited!!! AND serialized harassment in the past… my god…

The allegations against Brian Jordan Alvarez are pretty damning, but I wonder who is served by putting this behind a paywall. Definitely not the victim. Hope other publications pick up the story. www.vulture.com/article/bria...

I’m in the stage in my life where I can’t have irl mutuals here cuz my political takes will have them added to the FBI database by association.

I wonder if this cartoon will come up in the history books—you know, instead of a detailed and factual account of the dozens of thousands of Palestinians (most of them children) killed in a brutal genocide spearheaded by the state of Israel.

I am absolutely obsessed with how online dating is a nightmare for all of us, yet… it is *us*, right? Like, we are making this a nightmare for each other?!

Told a local in #Seoul that I loved his shoes in the elevator ride down to the lobby. Later that night, I was waiting for the same elevator and he exited with his wife/girlfriend and his face lit up, he pointed me out to her and whispered in her ear, then they both smiled. It’s a little things.
