So I’m doing a patron thing. I’m reading books. Most people would read books for pleasure, but I’m willing to bet money that people would be just as open to paying a couple of dollars to be allowed to choose a terrible book I have to read and then give an unhinged book report about. Drop a title!

Let's discuss how much money I spent on books and how many of them I've actually read so far.

COOPER WAS TOO NERVOUS ABOUT ALL THE LUGGAGE TO LET ME PET HIM.

Also, according to his DNA report, he's 0% dachshund.

He's just the "we've got dachshund at home" of mutts.

The "Is this fascism?" debate is actually great this time because literally anybody who doesn't think masked secret police disappearing people into concentration camps isn't fascistic *are themselves* fascists. Anybody who wants to debate it conveniently labels themselves.
Since we're doing the "fascism" debate again, I have to confess I find it baffling how the "not fascist" argue it can only apply to the specific situations of one historical time period, which is not a standard they would ever apply to any other political label ("socialist," "liberal," whatever.)

Look the reality is that a lot of liberal racists are very offended by ICE’s behavior and they are also still liberal racists

Much needed timeline cleanser.

Also everyone needs to buy @jonathanlhoward.bsky.social 's books because a) you cannot do better for very absorbing and engaging SF/F than the JOHANNES CABAL series, and also b) he saw Fiasco on Zoom and was like "Oh ISN'T he a handsome kitty!"

I lay down for my migraine nap and the smol cat decided I was a good place for a nap, so now she’s asleep on my bladder and I have to pee. Help.

Plesiosaur my child.
You should have a favorite dinosaur.

We need to bring back a sense of wonder and curiosity to the people in our lives.

I really do think if we get people back into loving learning and engaging with the world around them we'd have fewer conservatives and therefore a way better world.
