This might be a good time to mention that CatsCast is returning with monthly episodes in January!
Relevant greetings, sapients! It's not even Friday, and yet we're giving you a flashback: "Some Things I Should Probably Have Mentioned Earlier" by @laurasbadideas.bsky.social, read LIVE at the 2018 Worldcon! Remember what things were like, seven years ago?
Escape Pod 1024: Some Things I Should Probably Have Mentioned Earlier (LIVE) (Flashback)
Dear Kevin, I’m sorry I waited so long to tell you this, but I really hate your vacation cabin. Everything about it creeps me out. The sound of crickets at night makes my skin crawl.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

The fact that Dems, in safe seats, are supporting the repeal of Section 230 really says all you need about the party as a whole.

The issue is not that we don't talk to each other. It's that some people think that "talking" means getting to debate your existence, and that's abusive and controlling.
CNN has a show with a similar line. That the problem with this country is we just aren’t talking to each other.
It’s the kind of diagnosis that a toddler would land on.

17 Dec 2025 @rikiwilchins.bsky.social -- Pretty insane new memo from AG Bondi instructs DOJ to create cash bounty system for information on domestic terrorists--which are overwhelmingly right-wing-- like "Antifa-aligned extremists” promoters of “radical gender ideology.”
Pam Bondi wants the government to create cash bounties for turning in trans equality activists - LGBTQ Nation
Bondi wants the FBI to ignore right-wing terror attacks and target anti-fascists and trans people instead.
