I have zero sympathy for anyone involved in this grotesque farce. When you travel all the way to DC to go to the home of the most infamous fascist in US history and get ushered into his office alongside a videographer and photographer, you know *exactly* what vile game you're playing. Disgraceful.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Monday's Thought - Great day yesterday. Serbia and Brazil both defeated the Fascist candidate. Now for Israel and here in the US to do the same. I read the loser Bolsanaro is not conceding defeat although it is unquestionable. My suggestion is he be imprisoned for sedition.

In 3 days, Netanyahu will be history. He and his racist, fascist clowns will face the courts on their way to jail, and Israel will belong to its people again. The insanity ends here. Israel starts the shift to a brighter future, and the rest of the world must follow! Video by Amir Goldstein

Before anything else…what about those Milwaukee Brewers?! I was a junior in high school the last time they played in the World Series. In fact, it was their only appearance in the World Series until this year. I enjoy the couple of hours of thinking only about baseball in each of these games.

Five Russian drones and missiles violated Moldova's airspace and exploded inside the country today. ​Moldovan police shared the time and location of each explosion. ​It is only by luck that no one was hurt.

Until this moment, Vivek, I think I never really gauged your cruelty or your recklessness… Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?

So many have come out to protest in Paris for an end to endless austerity to make the billionaires trillionaires and everyone else homeless.

I want to offer my deepest heartfelt thanks to all my Bluesky friends who offered their condolences for my late father. It really does mean the world to me and reminds me of what special folks you all are. Thank you. Here's a picture of me and my dad from a few years back.

Saturday 24 October 2026 Did you know today is United Nations Day? Ah, how I long for the day when the UN was a force for good and stability. It's now effectively held hostage by malign actors. It's one big reason Ukraine is still fighting for survival on Day 1704. Here's my daily🧵

There is a common belief that great events must have great foundational causes and often they do. But I think the history of the 21st Century-and not just US history-owes more to a badly designed ballot in Florida than any other single cause. For want of a nail indeed.

Saturday's Thought - An example of how horrible billionaires are. I grew up in Columbus. Ohio and would visit the Zoo from time to time. There was a bill to add a bit to the property taxes to improve it. The Kochs funded a campaign to defeat the measure primarily through lies and deceit.
