You know what I love?

Not that this garbage is happening.

But that in every video there's a crowd of real Americans not putting up with this shit. Pissed off midwesterners who have had enough.

This is patriotism, not the flag waving posing and chest beating of MAGA.

Let's go.

For the [ast few years I've been editing the short fiction for Star Ship Sofa, a venerable SF (not F/H) podcast. It's a small joint, and I've turned it primarily into a reprint market as we can afford only $50 per story.

I've also turned it into a reprint market because writers need money fast. 🧵

The 2025 Worlds Strongest Woman strongwoman competition was last weekend, and the winner was a trans woman, so you can probably guess how toxic the dialogue is there. I feel terrible for what she's going through now after an incredible victory.

Love this from an AI tool that's been dialing into a number of my meetings lately. Gives me a great sense of confidence.
Founders on LinkedIn still seem to be struggling with the difference between telling people about their humble beginnings and admitting to straight up committing fraud.

An ICE agent was caught removing a sign marking an ICE kidnapping in DC last week! Do we think he did it out of anger, embarrassment, or most appropriately shame? If you think what you’re doing is right, why are you trying to hide the evidence? 👀

Peter's probably right here. The article can't fully answer the headline's question, but I don't think we'll ever get a truly full and satisfying answer on 'why' when it comes to RKF Jr.
I’ve been waiting for an article like this for some time, and while it’s not what I was hoping for — which, on reflection, would be kind of a supervillain’s monologue, which don’t actually happen — it may be the best we’ll ever get. Gift link:

I haven't seen a picture of Chip in a while but he kind of looks like a slowly melting wax figure of himself these days.
NEWS: The Raiders are firing offensive coordinator Chip Kelly, per source.

Kelly signed a contract to make him the richest offensive coordinator in football this offseason, but is dismissed after just 11 games.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Fun fact: November 28, 2001:

If shes quitting after 5 years and 1 day so she can collect government benefits that's honestly hilarious.
Noting the congressional pension is based on service time, it kicks in at 5 years and her retirement date - Jan. 5, 2026 - will be the first business day after she passes five years since her first swearing in. bsky.app/profile/heli...
Any idea why she's quitting then? Her statement isn't very coherent (big surprise), although it would make more sense as an explanation of just not running for re-election.

I've been pretty impressed with the new Pope and how relatable he is, but this one's a big miss for me. Same starter every day, anything else is chaos.

Mine is 'learn', although I've considered going more vowel-heavy since I hard-mode.

It is particularly galling that Trump is calling for the execution of people who actually served honorably in the military, while he took a bone spur exemption and famously boasted that his Vietnam was dodging syphilis in 70s New York.

Just a historically loathsome figure by any measure.

It's absurd that this is being spun as a compromise when Trump's proposal is complete capitulation.

Russia would get all the territory it wants and immense soft power in Ukraine, and Ukraine would be crippled and banned from NATO in exchange for a promise Russia will certainly break.
⚡️ Update: Ukraine says Zelensky receives US draft plan to restart peace talks.

President Volodymyr Zelensky plans to discuss the available diplomatic options and the key elements needed to achieve peace with U.S. President Donald Trump.

The United States is advancing a new peace proposal for ending Russia's war against Ukraine, a plan that Ukrainian officials say mirrors Moscow's maximalist demands and revives concessions the Kremlin...
