If Jamie says so, I have tomorrow’s plans.

We're in The Bad Place, folks. The existence of an overseas gulag to which you - yes, you personally - can be sent with no recourse marks the end of a whole period of American history. There's no going back after this. Even if these guys are defeated, the new order will have to look much different.

I am BEGGING people to frame this properly. The issue here is not one colossal blunder where a reporter got info. The issue is it’s clear these people are all routinely ignoring the most absolutely basic security protocols, and WE HAVE NO IDEA what breaches this has already enabled.

When the history of this time is written down, the cowardice will be remembered as much as the fascism

The new iconic photo that i predicted ultimately destroys the relationship:

No one's blaming Democrats for causing this crisis, but yes, many of them are failing to meet this moment.

One Democratic senator could bring the chamber to a halt. House Dems can go to fed agencies being gutted by Musk with cameras in tow. Governors can push back. State AGs can bring lawsuits.

Preordered that, and The Irresistible Urge to Fall for Your Ememy. It’s going to be a great summer Tuesday.

Any bookish Virginians (PWC) interested in a silent book club? I’ve seen them popping up online and they look perfect for introverted readers. #booksky #virginia #silentbookclub

check out that chyron. this is where we're at.

With the release of the publication date of Alchemised, I’ve gone back down a Dramione fanfic hole and some of the stuff there is GOOD. Currently reading Julie Soto’s Rights & Wrongs trilogy.

I loved The Lion Women of Tehran. The audio was beautiful , the story, so moving. I appreciate a historical fiction about a time other than WWII.

Just finished Blood Over Bright Haven by ML Wang and WOW. If you liked The Scholomance series this dark academia standalone will scratch that same itch.

The Democratic party will continue to lose far, far into the future because their clueless 70+ members are never going to get out of the way until they pass away. They do not care about winning. They only care about insider trading and enriching themselves.

Democrats are bad at politics

oh my fuckin god. This is art.

Trump and His Team Are 'Laughing' at Biden's Commitment to Decorum Biden and Harris warned Trump is a fascist. Now, they’re now ensuring an orderly and cooperative transfer of power — and it’s amusing Team Trump.

There is *so* much to be angry about with this administration but the obsessive devotion to "decorum" in the the face of an obvious fascist regime is damning. Biden was not the man to meet this moment, but I don't know if there was any democrat who would have

i keep seeing people saying “no way to know why dems lost” and it makes me want to lose my mind

they lost bc disengaged voters bought gop bullshit and its pretty obvious this was the payoff of a generational effort on the right to work the refs in media…

Cover of One-Star Romance by Laura Hankin

Read One-Star Romance yesterday and it was more substantial than the cartoon cover suggested. I found it very sweet and engaging.

I’m convinced the “do audiobooks count as reading?” argument all derives from those mid-90s summer reading pizza challenges.

Folks - we’re all in our 30s and 40s now. It’s no longer a competition.

Go buy your favorite pie with your adult money and let people enjoy books however they want.

Starter Villian was one of my favorite audiobooks of 2024. Reading is reading.

Yesterday I sketched out a “10 by the end” list to make sure I’m reading my shelves and library books. Then I got on instagram and another series (romantasy) plus a standalone (fantasy) jumped the list. Best intentions and all that…

Currently on book 2 and loving it. I started it to tide me over until The Strength of The Few is released.

Spending the last weeks of the year deep in my fantasy worlds. Next up, book 2 in the Licanius Trilogy.

Every time.

Inside the Republican false-flag effort to turn off Kamala Harris voters A multi-pronged dark money effort by advisers to Elon Musk targeted liberals, Jews, Muslims and Black voters with ads that were not quite what they seemed.

Russia did exactly this to HRC in 2016, aiming to suppress her vote, and probably did. Musk no doubt did suppress Harris voting as well with these demotivation techniques. This should be illegal.

It’s a prerequisite for a cabinet nomination.

I’m going to have to come to terms with every choice being the worst possible choice, and still leave room for shock and horror.

John Thune is terrible and a relief.
