Have to admit Patricia Routledge's death stings a bit more than I expected. What a talent. Keeping Up Appearances is such an excellent show. I will hold a candlelight supper in her honor.

James Franklin is an idiot. If I have to work for a football team that has an education hobby, could we at least have a decent head coach?

Every day is a new example of how incredibly stupid MAGAts are. It would be worth studying their brains if they weren't just scoops of Cracker Barrel mashed potatoes.

The rewriting of Charlie Kirk's career and rhetoric is astonishing and also completely expected. If God truly cared about the affairs of mortals, Mike Johnson would have choked on his words last night.

Maybe the rest of the world should just stand firm that white, Christian, American culture is a flaming sack of dog shit and should be shamed out of existence through boycotts and legislation.

I know everything is awful, but if you work in early performance studies, consider submitting an abstract for next year's International Congress on Medieval Studies.

We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.

Any elected Dem who expresses anything more sympathetic than “eat shit in hell you fascist fuck” should be treated with suspicion.

If they’re worried about a bad reaction they can stay silent or deflect and talk about working families and the economy or something like they always do on tough issues
When it happens I understand Dems in government will feel compelled to release some sort of statement. I just hope it’s the lamest most generic condolence statement ever. Something along the lines of “I’m sorry that’s how he died”

If Newsom truly wanted to be a visionary, he would direct the CA redistricting efforts to ignore the Congressional Reapportionment Act of 1929. Create 186 districts.* Send 186 new Representatives to Congress. Demand they all be seated. Maxim chaos.

I'm back on the @horrorjoypod.bsky.social with Brian and Jeff to talk about 2022's The Menu and my upcoming novel, Where The Soul Goes. The intersections of food and horror, finding joy in both... It's all packed into this fun 45 minutes.

I'm also reminded that John gives us some really powerful words about looking at evil head-on and how horror helps us to do that.

You know, I really try to not engage in even the smallest amount of misogyny, but white conservative women are really some of the most ill-informed, willing pawns in this world. It's disgusting.

The fallacye that "higher ed degree must leade to a job wyth same name" ys deeplye harmful to present-daye societye. A philosophye major kan do businesse just as well as a businesse major. Yn some wayes perhaps even bettir. Thys fallacye ys useful onlye to those who seeke to kill higher ed.

Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal and a monster. He should be thrown into jail or executed by a firing squad- I'm not picky.
