Please help Bryan, a decent and hardworking person who was just kidnapped off the street in DC. He has been in this country since he was a child. He has a business and a family. He does not deserve such shameful cruelty. Please share.

Me: I wish all these tech bro types would stop misunderstanding sci-fi and fantasy classics

Monkey's Paw: Bro.
Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino "also revered Starship Troopers, Robert Heinlein's 1959 military sci-fi classic about an interstellar war between humans and alien bugs - a book his sister says he still reads to this day."
An endless amount of deranged details in this interview with Greg Bovino's sister, but most notably that his uncle produced the Jack Nicholson movie The Border and the depiction of the agent as corrupt radicalized him as a 12-yr-old.

"Since then, he was like, 'Dude, I want to do Border Patrol.'"

Hey Hey we're the Beatles
People say we have shiny carapaces
But we're too busy scuttling
To worry about the looks on their faces

We're just trying to get some dung
Come and watch us climb on a tree
We're the arthropod generation
And we've got someplace to be!

I don’t want to formulate words yet, but my friend Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social of the Disability Visibility Project, has passed.

Here are the words she left behind:

I’m heartsick to hear that the incomparable Alice Wong has passed. Her loss will be felt keenly, by many, and for a long time. She is a force, a generous leader and storyteller, and an oracle for disabled futures. Much love to Alice and to all our crip kin and comrades. ❤️‍🩹

"A Testament of Hope" which is a collection of Dr. King's collected writings and speeches, including addresses (televised or not) and conversations with other leaders. His prose is excellent, his depth of moral clarity is breathtaking.

Brother Gregor never spoke and often spooked the neophytes with his appearance, but he was a gentle soul and a phenomenal cook and knew more ways to prepare a fish than the abbot knew hymns

This is so accurate it hurts (with the small caveat of some of these people are retiring and don't give a shit about their re-election or their constituents).
not to name names but John Fetterman, Tim Kaine, Angus King, Dick Durbin, Jacky Rosen, Catherine Cortez Masto, Jeanne Shaheen, Maggie Hassan. And most of all Chuck Schumer.

Tried to call Adam Schiff, went to leave a voice message, the mailbox is full.

Classic. I haven't been able to reach my state Senator since he got elected. Useless and feckless.

A rare interview with the creators of the always-funny, always-brilliant, and *usually*-sexy—or occasionally anti-sexy—OGLAF!

Cooper has kept a low profile over the years, but is legitimately one of the very best artists in comics today. Read OGLAF if you're old enough to drive!
Talking Oglaf with Trudy Cooper and Doug Bayne: 'We'd stay up all night drawing stuff to make each other laugh' - The Comics Journal
Other than some time off every year for Christmas, Trudy Cooper and Doug Bayne have delivered a new Oglaf comic, skewering fantasy tropes with absolutely not safe for work humor, every week since 2008...

You are absolutely not prepared for how adorable His Majesty King Owlbert is.

Not prepared at all.
Meet our newest patient here at the Alaska Raptor Center, a Northern Pygmy Owl named King Owlbert by his rescuers. Owlbert arrived with a drooping wing, making flight difficult. We’ve given him a supportive wing wrap, plenty of tasty mice, and time to heal. #small #owls #adorable

ah, perhaps instead of pumping millions into endless factional infighting Dem donors could invest in making local Dem organizations genuine civic spaces that can reach people during and between elections
