It's been a long time since I've been this tired.

Guillermo del Toro on wealth is spot on, and it reminds me of one of my favourite things written regarding wealth, by Kurt Vonnegut, which he wrote as a tribute to his friend, Joseph Heller (author of Catch-22):

SNAP is not the reason your taxes are high.

SNAP recipients don’t need to “just go get a job”.

Most of them work. The rest are disabled, elderly, children or caregivers.

People need & deserve assistance

Your taxes fund wars and tax cuts for the ultra rich

Be mad about that

For those of you who think food insecurity isn’t already worrying folk, I just bought a bag of potatoes for a sweet lady who only had money for one 50 cent potato. She has 15 dollars left on her card to buy some meat. This is not going to be good. 😳😢

If Dems win the Supreme Court races in Pennsylvania in 9 days, it’s extremely likely the GOP can’t get a majority on that court until 2029.

The GOP really wants to have this majority during the 2028 presidential race.

Can’t put the stakes any more clearly than that. boltsmag.org/pennsylvania...
Inside the Clunky Elections to Control Pennsylvania's Supreme Court - Bolts
The GOP is making an expensive push to end Democrats’ majority on a court at the center of election lawsuits, sparking a fledging campaign season with little precedent or template.

As other people have noted, if you have local food banks, now would be an excellent time to donate cash to them, if you have the cash to spare. We will be upping our donations to food banks and hunger-related charities here in Ohio.
Hmm. New Gundam TCG booster wave is pretty solid.

Being Muslim is not antisemitic.

Being Palestinian is not antisemitic.

Supporting Palestine is not antisemitic.

Jews who support Mamdani are not self hating.

I've had more than enough of this bullshit.

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

Off to get a full day of Lovecraftian gaming in with a bunch of friends. Leaving the kids with the wife, feels like I am stealing something
There's so much trauma in this film I don't even know where to begin to unpack it, but this piece of writing is a start
The nuke is coming from inside the house
Watching A House of Dynamite and the scariest part is not the fictional nuclear strike on the United States, it's that dear leader fired all the people who could competently handle a nonfictional nuclear strike on the United States looool
Wowwwww
Smashing Pumpkins release the “Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness” album 30 years ago today.

Billy Corgan said “1979” was about “being 17, 18 — this weird feeling of having a job and a car, .. but I still had the tethers to home.”

Why “1979?"

“I have no idea, I had to call it something.”
That is a great life partner, to remind you of those precious moments and benchmarks. Congrats to both of you.
As someone who loves the original novel, this film is fucking awesome. See it in theaters, if you can. Practically flawless.

Sue. Them. All.
This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it.

They will come for everyone, and they’re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.

Now I'm just a simple country lawyer but I don't think Nazis should be in the news this often
What the fuck did I just watch
Oh my god some fucking tech dingdong posted this on Twitter with the caption "AI games are going to be amazing" totally seriously, you have to watch it. You have to. In full screen.
I, for one, like to think that I am VERY funny
Bluesky has a reputation for being humorless but

a) I would rather it be humorless than filled with Nazis

b) I will just "mute for everyone" the especially humorless replies to my posts anyway
Uh yeah same
TIL that Dashiell Hammett taught a detective-story writing class at the Communist Party Workers’ School in New York, and I now have a new answer to, “if you could go anywhere in time, where would you go?”
