Yesterday ended the way I feared it might, but at least our sweet little Moxie cat passed peacefully in my wife’s arms.
Thanks again for all the sweet things you said yesterday. It meant a lot, on a dark day.
I wrote a little remembrance of her.

I posted something yesterday about getting put on ridiculous lists. Caught another one today.
But I noticed that neither today’s absurd blacklist or yesterday’s cost me a single follower.
So another data point in favor of “ignore nonsense.”

Since she asked: I do not want to sexually assault teenagers. I like adults. Fully grown adults. And consent. Wildly enthusiastic consent.
for the record, i don’t believe that all men want is to assault teenagers without suffering consequences for it. i do however believe that if you’re a man who does NOT want that, this would be a GREAT time to get VERY FUCKING LOUD about it

I have stumbled upon a new metaphor for Never Trump Republicans and I like it.
A Houston Astro who also hates the Yankees is not scoring a single run for the Mets. And has no interest in doing so, will never do so.

He’s not even remotely a .375 hitter.
People need to fucking grasp that he’s not even on our fucking team.
A Houston Astros player who also hates the Yankees is not somehow hitting for the Mets.
How’s that for a stupid baseball metaphor?

To his fucking bones.
A subset of credulous fools believe this guy has changed. He hasn’t. He just hates Trump. And is possibly mad Trump’s rise didn’t include a job for him.

It’s a very common social media mistake to give oxygen to someone who has made a strong decision to misunderstand you. And hate you for the fake version of you in their head.

The last few Homeric movies have made a massive mistake and cut the Gods out of the story.
So I only have one question: who’s playing Athena?
If the answer is “no one…” I pass.
(Anne Hathaway actually much better casting for that than Penelope, but that’s another argument.)

The people who cling to the Woody Allens of this world will never understand the people who drop the Neil Gaimans like they’re on fire.
Some of us are allergic to joining cults.

"What if one of YOUR favorite politicians/celebrities/etc is on the list?" Did you all not notice how quickly we dropped Neil Gaiman when we found out about the things he did? Do you know how beloved that guy used to be and how loathed he is now? I think that right there should answer your question.

It’s a minor part of this entire shit show… but… the King James Bible?

A little sad reality this week: my sweet eldest cat seems to be in her final days and my heart is broken and I’m going to have a hair trigger temper.
Not pretty, but true.
Might step away from social media, or at the very least reading and replying to the angry-makers, for a bit.

We are invited to assume that the New York Times did not know what Epstein was telling Landon Thomas about Trump. I decline to extend that charity.
If Epstein wanted the NYT to write about it, he should have made it about a Democrat and gotten a white nationalist hacker to leak it to them.
