Nailed it.

The Christa Pike thing is beyond horrifying. And you know the Sinister Six on the Supreme Court will look at this and say it wasn't cruel and unusual. If you're going to do this, the Soviets had the right idea. A shot to the back of the head without warning. Not this macabre ritual.

If you find yourself tempted to post any comment that might sound a lot like, "they're just following orders," here's a sneak preview of where that ends up:

So the Republican Convention. Offered a video claiming God had ordained Trump to save America. Had a call and response where Ted Cruz named Democratic politicians and the crowd replied chanted back that they should be shot. And Trump led the crowd in a pledge of allegance to himself personally.

Last night, out of nowhere, our son wants to show us this video which turns out to be Harlan Ellison. I mention that we have several of his anthologies and our son replies he's halfway through one, currently reading I'm Looking for Kadak. "To these aged eyes, boy, that's what winning looks like!"

Just a reminder from Ye Olde gamer and Pagan that Gloria Steinem was an unabashed cheerleader for the Satanic Panic.

the lesson of this primary seems to be that being old is now a major issue for dem voters, but not as big of an issue as being a massive prick

This is the actual face, from “I never thought the leopards would eat my face!”

This is the letter kids got at the end of Dolly’s Imagination Library. I defy you to read this and not cry.

A new @tkingfisher.com book is always something to get excited about! Daggerbound is out on 25th Aug, a delightful tale following a firey warrior trapped in an enchanted blade and Edmund, the scholar he finds himself unexpectedly bound to... #Romantasy 🪐📚💙 #SFF

I think CNN missed a bet by not having Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper co-anchor coverage of Lindsey Graham's funeral.

Nova Scotia is incredibly beautiful.

Well, this will be fun in a few minutes

For those thinking "the numbers can't be that dire!" They are. They're even WORSE than Doctorow implies. isaiprofitable.com

Thinking of DC looking like this. The DC I knew. It seems almost incomprehensible today.

This is an absolutely fabulous journal article saying what I think most of my friends already realize: it's the movement of the "conservative" movement to the extreme right that is causing our current issues, not an equal "polarization" between parties.

Happy to see that we've raised nearly $10K for World Central Kitchen ( @wck.org ) in just under two days, but we can do more, I think (remember you can adjust your donation sliders so they get more of the take). Also, you know: Lots of my books! Go get 'em.

This Weeks Editorial Cartoon: Thou Shalt Not Kilt

The nazi tatoo should have been a fucking hint.

Balagun's red card was bullshit, but reversing it because Trump wants to simply ends with a full stop the legitimacy of FIFA and the world cup.

Anyone else feeling just sad about the "holiday?"

!!!!!!!

Sure didn't see that coming.

Looking at the empty seats at Foxboro for Germany Paraguay is infuriating. I would love to have gone, but at $1000+ for nosebleed seats that wasn't happening. I hope #FIFA chokes on the huge stack of Benjamins they're hoovering up. You betrayed actual fans and sucked Trumps cock dry. FU

It should have been a celebration that reminded us of everything that connects us as a nation a moment to showcase the incredible diversity and creativity of the American people. That would have been a celebration worthy of this historic milestone.

Iran was treated abysmally in this World Cup. I wonder how the U.S. will feel when a future host does this to one of our teams. Because that will happen. That’s the precedent that was set.

Come on England. Wtf

OMFG an Undertones reference in a tv program?!

Breaking News: the algae has agreed to accept $300 billion to consider vacating the reflecting pool

Imagine being a kid and learning both your parents were arrested by ICE. You’ll have to pay rent and survive on your own. I shadowed four siblings—US citizens near Mar-a-Lago—as they try to do that. I'll be thinking about their story for a long time 1/x www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

That's why you actually play the match!

NEW: The Kennedy Center is a reminder that we can win, it will be messy, and Trump will be petty. The illegal effort to put Donald Trump's name on the Kennedy Center has always been a metaphor — but, this weekend, it became a story of how we get through this. Tonight, at Law Dork:

I am a dissident. But for the next 90 minutes, I am a patriot.

this could work, but only if you also incorporate the blockchain and Web 3.0 somehow. maybe they could find screwworm in the metaverse. give me 20 billion dollars

In light of what happened in Belfast overnight, if you’re still on X “for work reasons”, it might be time for you and your conscience to have a little think about what platforms you should be supporting.
