Liberty Trek : The Wrath of Biberty

Stephen must still be angry at the grad student who was his calculus TA.

You follow Lady Queet on Bluesky so shut the fuck up about Blondie. Pick me as your favorite rapper or go to hell.

Prediction: Trump is going to leave the UN and kick them out of NY because a security council vote doesn’t go his way.

It's pretty far down the list of outrages, but I hate the way my government has me rooting against my country on the global stage.

I love interacting with my favorite authors on BlueSky and discovering they have the same warped sense of humor as me.

Downplay a book or movie: Star Trek II the Displeasure of Khan

Someday we will look back on AI videos with the same feelings we have for Hana Barbara cartoon. Occasionally there was something cool, but mostly it was low cost filler dreck to engage a target demographic for ad delivery.

@malaclypse.bsky.social do your friends call you Mal-1.5?

The 30k in layoffs may have been a sign

But the rich are setting other people’s money on fire. Totally different.

One Rich Asshole Called Larry Ellison

Green City Wars is out this week, US and UK covers below. A cyber/solarpunk noir detective story starring a raccoon. Available at your bookshop of choice, ebook, audio and hardback.

Sorry, I’m not done with zeitgeist yet.

How hard will it be for AI to add that banner

Bob Odenkirk is a national treasure. Take 44 seconds and watch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0rB...

You'd think so, but you go unconscious before your brain can process it. Especially nasty if you're in an enclosed space, like an aircraft hangar.

There is something brutally psychically injurious to being constantly told "just do good work and you'll be successful" while watching people who do the most dogshit work possible do all the succeeding.

🔥Jennifer Welch: “Boycott every f*n thing on CBS News. Same people that fired Stephen Colbert because Trump got his feelings hurt by a comedian. These people are the biggest bunch of p*ssies that masquerade with these grandstanding letters like they’re such badasses.” @ivehaditpodcast.bsky.social

Ken Paxton was indicted for scamming his own friends. He convinced them to invest hundreds of thousands in a company while secretly pocketing a commission. Paxton sold out his own friends for a quick buck. What makes you think he won't sell you out in the Senate?

Peaceful protest should serve as a reminder to the powers that be, that protest doesn’t have to remain peaceful and is ignored at their peril

Some notes now that I’ve seen the transcript of the hearing, thanks to @lizdye.bsky.social . First: the government dismissed the felony count in an effort to convince the judge not to make them produce full transcripts, knowing they showed serious misconduct.

The Good, The Bad, The Ugly and Grogu

An all-time great McSweeney’s. I shudder to think how monstrous my snake would have been…

It’s three

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

THAT'S RIGHT, MOTHERFUCKERS, I WON A WEBBY AWARD. Here's my 5-word speech. #webbys

Name a song with "girl" in the title but replace girl with squirrel if you'd like: Jesse’s Squirrel

Slightly increase a band Thompson Triplets

The sequel we deserve

Gulf States Fear an Emboldened Iran Is Taking Advantage of a Hesitant U.S. The likely conclusion in Tehran, Gulf governments fear, is that further escalation pays off because Trump is so intent on extricating himself from the war that he will ignore renewed Iranian attacks on America’s allies.

Slightly diminish a book From Here to a Long Time From Now

I don't need you to like me, I need you to like YOU. YOU deserve guaranteed healthcare in the richest, most powerful country in the world.

Well, they've finally struck home. #ICE has detained my former #umich student, Yousif Azizi, a PhD student in public policy at Virginia Tech w/a valid visa. He was arrested while taking his children to school in Maryland. After multiple transfers, he is in a detention center in Arizona.

The true professionals wait 10 years then take half.

I disagree with the last item. Trump should have to under a woman of color landlord. That would be more justified.

I don't give a rats ass about how long he's been a Democrat. Everything Conway has said and done tells me he's NOT gonna let trump slide unlike the Merrick Milquetoast Garland/Biden Administration. The Dems failed big time in the interest of letting "by gones be by gones". Fuck that!

At this point I’m thinking Doofensmirch is more capable than most republicans and he should set his heights higher than the TriState Area.

Like a lot of small businesses in our region, Firestorm has been in financial distress for the last year. Hurricane Helene was our tipping point, but local cost of living increases, inflation, and higher occupancy costs are huge contributors. 1/9

They did it to themselves. I would have bought something the size of an old Saturn or Mercury Tracer all electric. Instead they wanted to make electric F150’s for 60k. So when the BYD comes in at the size and price of a Saturn. Ford and GM can go bankrupt a second time. No bailouts.

I’ll be honest about what I don’t know—but here’s what we do know: allies are backing away from us, Iran now holds leverage over the Strait of Hormuz, oil prices are rising, and global fallout is growing.

IMHO in the best Interview mag pieces, you can hear the voices of the two celebs the whole time you are reading. This one is very fun. flip.it/yHT8Op
