Neil popping up to say all writers are bad except him and that’s why we shouldn’t believe the journalism about him on the same day that half of Threads is discussing whether or not they’re shocked he’s not, thus far, in the Epstein files sure is something

Hey, kids! Neil Gaiman doesn't deserve a redemption arc. Pass it on. whatever.scalzi.com/2025/01/15/t...
Taking Leave
If you want to know when I pretty much drew a line though my friendship with Neil Gaiman, it was when Neil acknowledged that he made moves on his early-20s nanny on her first day of employment. Thi…

You think it's too big an ask for ICE to follow the same judicial procedures as every other law enforcement agency, yet you are mystified as to why people are calling you a fascist? #OhCupcake

That bitter laughter you hear is me expressing my belief that a code of conduct is going to do anything more than jack over shite. I spent a decade trying to convince the geek community that codes of conduct were a good thing. I expect even lower results from this. #GoodLuckWithThat
Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said the party agreed on three main goals:
° Require warrants in some cases and ICE coordination with state and local law enforcement
° Create a code of conduct and enforce it
° Require agents to wear body cams and not masks
° Require warrants in some cases and ICE coordination with state and local law enforcement
° Create a code of conduct and enforce it

Democrats demand new ICE restrictions as government shutdown looms
After federal agents shot and killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, Senate Democrats say they’ll block a massive government funding package without policy changes.

Look, I am short, not petite. I am basically built like a fire plug. Conventional aesthetic standards say that the only acceptable short women aren't built like me. Those same standards don't allow men that much leeway. The preferred minimum height for casting male actors in a leading role is 5'10".

Don't feel forced to watch the video of the most recent killing in Minneapolis. If it is triggering for you, take a deep breath, hydrate, and go on with your day. Don't force other people to watch it if they say it is triggering. Take a deep breath, hydrate, go on with your day, and don't be a dick.
