Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Figuring out the McGuffin on Talamasca before it was revealed and I’m not mad about it. I do wish the writing and plotting had been better overall and a section of the fandom not as toxic. There are SERIOUS plot holes I can’t overlook that I want to smack the writers over cuz gd it was so sloppy

The partisan divide has grown, too. The wealthiest 100 tended to give more to Republicans than to Democrats before last year. But giving to the GOP spiked in 2024, with *84%* of donations going to back Republicans or conservative PACs.

Last Thanksgiving, two Dallas Police officers knocked on my door, citing a tip from the FBI national threat operations center that I was beating my girlfriend. The incident report confirms this. Today, I obtained a file from the FBI via FOIA that states the FBI has no record of receiving such a tip.

1) It's totally fine to appreciate that MTG is creating an intra-party feud.
2) For those of you welcoming her into the coalition, you clearly never watched pro wrestling. This has "false face turn" all over it.
3) I long for the day when MTG stands for Magic: The Gathering again.

This is the most glamorous opening to an article about a white supremacist flattering journalist who lied to her readers and editors while having an affair with narcissistic crank who eats roadkill, swims in sewer water, will cause children to die, and is 50 years her senior that I've ever read.
