This time of year I always look forward to a repost of the classic McSweeney-Ortiz piece "It's Decorative Calabaza Season, Pendejos!"

I know nothing about her politics but I’m obsessed with this melting pot ass woman who is Italian and has an Irish-Latina last name.

That’s nothing! Wait until you hear about Donald trump!

“covert surveillance inside houses of worship… “interrogations of churches’ staff… “ICE agents hauled off a nun who was wearing her habit and walking down the sidewalk en route to Sunday Mass… “suing a Catholic diocese in New Mexico to seize 14 acres of their land…” www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

ms.nowThe Trump administration keeps clashing with faith communitiesLast year the White House said Joe Biden and his administration “abused and targeted Christians.” A year later, the hypocrisy is staggering.

If you look very closely you’ll see my cute new Darth-ish laptop sticker from Japan. It translates roughly to: “What you gonna do about it, huh?”

Oh I almost forgot, I hung out with Steve on my last day in Finland. Did you know he likes coffee too? He’s not allowed to have any, of course, it stunts your growth & they want him to be even heavier (oof)

Over 2,000 alumni from Vivek’s all-boys catholic high school in Cincinnati have signed and circulated a petition demanding that he pull the ad and issue a public apology for “ignoring the moral responsibilities” of his Jesuit education. I think he’s pretty cooked.

I need Nicki Minaj to be the White House Press Secretary, legendarily crash and burn within a week, and then Cardi B to get appointed under a progressive president and become the most accomplished press secretary ever

My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

The fact that we've agreed to call these gambling sites "prediction markets" furthers their bullshit. They predict nothing and it's a disgrace that news orgs have partnered with them and pretend they have news value. THEY'RE JUST A BUNCHA LOSERS GAMBLING.

Jenny Cohn@jennycohn.bsky.social

How pathetic. This pro-Bolsonaro Brazilian official relied on the Thiel-backed prediction market (Polymarket) to suggest that Flavio Bolsonaro had won his debate against President Lulu (who just defeated Bolsonaro in the election.) Because Polymarjet is “real” info. 🙄 1/ x.com/delegadorama...

First- a teacher wanting three "bullet points" about what makes a child special is just wrong. Second- the mother not calling the teacher out on that bullshit is wrong. Third- you need a fucking computer to tell you what is special about your child?????

NEW: At least 18 voting centers in Alaska Native communities have not opened despite early voting having already started in the state last week. “There is no legal excuse for the failure to open these sites,” one state senator wrote to the Alaska elections chief.

democracydocket.comAlaska Natives’ early voting hampered by unlawful closuresAt least 18 early voting sites in Alaska Native communities have yet to open, which is hampering turnout among a historically disenfranchised population.

They can't make money by making journalism the product, so we have to be the product.

Well this is eleventy-million kinds of Fucked Up. @latimes.com (who once contracted with me as a freelance reviewer and whom I struggled to get paid by) asserts that *merely reading its website* constitutes a permanent waiver of your right to sue it under *any circumstances*.

did this for the first time last fall—I moved some of my perennial containers where I raked the leaves under a tree (not too close to the trunk), insulating them. not only did we get some forgotten bulbs popping up under in early spring, we had no aphids this year and lots more moths and fireflies.

your yearly PSA: want to do something positive wrt the ecosystem while saving yourself a bunch of time and effort? skip the bagging and just rake leaves into a pile wherever convenient (bonus points if you do it under a tree). www.nps.gov/articles/000...

Just in: Did you know that they used to make cameras that take regular AA batteries instead of a $100 thing called a BLC-DB-A001D-5 that you can only order from Mississauga until they discontinue it next year?
