I think Americans, blessed with relatively stable government for a long time, assume there is someone, some adult, who will step in and make things right before the President does anything REALLY bad.

There’s not.

Technically, I'm an "Old Timer," but I identify much more strongly with the "Yamato Generation."

(That is, I apparently watched "Speed Racer" with my older sisters, but I was too young to remember it, so "Battle of the Planets" and "Star Blazers" were my TRUE introduction to anime.)

Elon Musk seeks mistrial in Twitter lawsuit, citing β€˜animosity’ in San Francisco Former Twitter shareholders sued Musk, alleging that he intentionally sought to drive down the company’s value before his October 2022 purchase of the company.

live your life in such a way that if you’re ever on trial you’re not so universally loathed that it’s impossible to find an unbiased jury

Here's my bottom line:

Much of what they are doing is bad.
Much of what they are doing is unpopular.
Pushback is working.
We are winning.
Keep fighting.
Be creative.
Push for what you'd want.
Allow for insiders and outsiders.
Realize that change takes time.
Reduce harm in the meantime.

LANDERS: Why did the FBI seize election records in AZ?

TRUMP: They probably thought the election was rigged

LANDERS: It wasn't though

TRUMP: Oh really? How do you know?

LANDERS: Your own AG said it

TRUMP: If you say it wasn't rigged, you're a rotten reporter

LANDERS: Where's the evidence?

Q: A new report says that a military investigation has found that the US struck the school in Iran. As commander in chief, do you take responsibility?

TRUMP: For what?

There are more instances of United States Citizens being detained by ICE than there are of illegal immigrants voting in elections.

The 2028 election is unlikely to be the most important of my lifetime, not least as Republicans are highly likely to lose it.

The four years following, on the other hand, are absolutely going to be the most important Presidency, as Dems decide whether to fix the system that allowed Trump or not.

NSFW Artists being attacked on all fronts while the government actively protects pedos is fucking nuts and shouldn't be ignored.

I have MANY signed Neil Gaiman books (which took me YEARS to collect, since he'd only sign three at a time). I'd planned to bequeath them to my nephew, but I doubt they'd be worth anything anymore.

It is my most profound hope that everyone involved with this goes to prison for a long time.

Noem and her cronies funneled $220 million of taxpayer money into a 60-second ad and gave another $143 million contract to a company that was incorporated eight days earlier.

This is the swamp.

This dead-eyed cretin is effectively illiterate, but if anyone ever pressed Donald Trump or Elon Musk like this in an interview, they would sound exactly the same

worth remembering, David Lynch directed β€œfix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic β€œno mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

My post from March 11th (although, due to the International Date Line, it shows up as March 10th), 2011, saying, "DAMN!! That was some earthquake!!"

Fifteen years since the worst earthquake I (or most people) have ever been in.

I'm still jittery, all these years later. Mostly about heights and high speed.

An Edward Gorey drawing showing a morose looking black bird on a branch. He (and this feels very much like a he) is pointing downwards with one scraggly wing, and looking straight ahead with debt-filled eyes. His beak is long and sharp, like winter on the Great Plains. He is pointing with his right wing, but this means he is pointing to your left. Your wicked, sinister side. This is no accident. The Bird makes no such mistakes. But he is talking, and the text tells us that he is saying, "Beware of this and that."  

Honestly, you feel his message in your bones.

Some days I just feel like this Edward Gorey bird gets it.

Nearly 6 hours since a GOP congressman said β€œMuslims don’t belong in American society,” not a single member of Republican leadership in the House will weigh in.

The one that baffles me is the Macross 7 drama album from last year. I heard it was being sold at the Fire Bomber concerts, but I don't know anyone who has it, and none of my Macross friends know anyone who has it, either.

I keep hoping it'll turn up at Mandarake, but no luck so far.

When I was 8 or 9 I bought a cooler full of sodas and upsold them to people in line to buy gas. I should look into that again, more dignified than lawyering.
