Discworld QOTD, from Thief of Time

From what I understand, tics like this are the end result of an internal battle the person in question has already fought. The tics that come out are ones they tried to suppress but couldn't.

Bro, ICE is still here kidnapping people, now they’ve even got transit vans advertising fake companies.

@dieworkwear.bsky.social random question, but do you have any commentary/theories about Sanji's suits in the Live Action One Piece? I'm curious about the tailoring and material given the freedom of movement he needs.

We have always been at war with Eastasia.

Don't bother at this point. I muted them after "Have A Nice Day." They want to shame and lecture us about how we want people with Tourette's to die or some shit. They're not worth your time.

In a scene from the Star Trek episode "The Squire of Gothos," Trelaine stands jubilantly in his mansion. To the right of him stands Miss Piggy from the "Pigs in Wigs" sketch from the Feb. 2026 Muppet Show special. They're both standing in front of a large mirror which is flanked by candelabras, with a harpsichord to the far left.

There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.

Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very often—and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.

Well, since I've already explained that I think he should mention them in his public apology, I cannot help you further. Have a nice day.

That's awful. Like I said, I feel awful for him.

Then go talk to them. I did neither.

You are making up arguments that have not been made. You're clearly taking this personally.

No one is asking him to apologize for having Tourette's.

No one is beating him with a crowbar here. You really need to stop rushing to extremes.

I didn't watch the awards. But that sucks and they should apologize.

Look, she has a stressful job and the mage rebellion put a real damper on her skincare routine...

Bad Internet Bills All of the bad internet bills. One website.

Hello. I am a constituent of (name). I wanted to let them know about some important action they must take against the censoring of American voices. Passing bills that weaken end-to-end encryption, require online ID checks, or repeal Section 230—which protects free speech online—will give Left-Wing radicals the power to censor our good conservative values and enable the woke mob to get away with pushing their twisted agenda on our children. Lives will be irreparably harmed if you enable liberals to pressure our fellow republican patriot influencers off the internet, surveil our messages, or age gate and censor online resources for vulnerable communities, such as children who have been groomed by They/Them. If you care about your constituents, you should oppose KOSA, the SCREEN Act, STOP CSAM, the Cooper Davis Act, and any Democrat-sponsored bill to impose age verification requirements or to end Section 230 speech protections. Sec. 230 protects free speech online. Online ID Checks compromise privacy and enable censorship. KOSA harms kids and teens’ access to sanctuary from Liberal corruption. Oppose KOSA, the App Store Accountability Act, and section 230 reform/sunsetting Thank you for your time.

This one is for people with all republicans as house reps/senators:

Passing bills that weaken end-to-end encryption, require online ID checks, or repeal Section 230—which protects free speech online—will give Trump the power to crush public and private dissenters.

Here's what I used if anyone wants to take this and edit it for themselves. (Pasted in the alt text)

Anti-vaxxers are bad parents. Not vaccinating your child is abuse.

We should eliminate all non-medical exemptions for vaccines.

Sorry, not sorry.

American Jews have been TRYING to tell folks that yes, AIPAC is evil, & fuck them, but Christian Zionists in the US outnumber Jews IN THE WORLD & have risen to power in all areas of our government, & they want to bring the End Times (& kill all the Jews btw), AND THIS IS WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT.

Absolutely nuts. I fired up Google Gemini and asked it a bunch of questions about my own field — areas I know really well, that I write and publish in.

Literally the first paper that it told me about had a hallucinated author name

He released another one apologizing to Black people in general but didn't mention them by name. That's why I was tweeting about it.

Bill Clinton sexual assault and misconduct allegations - Wikipedia

don't ever defend this man, whether in service of attacking another rapist or not. you lose all credibility and respect.

Good to know, thanks! I think they should be mentioned in his public apologies, however.

Be a real man. Put these balls in your mouth.

fuck, I’m sorry, I can’t compete with this

The fact that he hasn't is something that he controls. That can be criticized.

FTR, I have a lot of sympathy for John Davidson. I'd be horrified if I were in his shoes.

Here's the thing, when he told the Queen "Fuck the Queen" at his knighthood, he immediately apologized to her personally. He should do the same for Beachler, Lindo, and Jordan.

I keep seeing "apologies" from the BBC, John Davidson, Alan Cumming, etc. But none of them ever apologize to Hannah Beachler, DelRoy Lindo, or Michael B. Jordan.

They had the N word hurled at them. And y'all broadcast it (while muting the dude's other tics). WTF.
