How do you explain traditions like the Tió de Nadal without some deep pagan lore?

Let’s not forget that Dick Durbin, the Senate Minority Whip, actually voted for this legislation. He needs to go too.

Chuck and Dick need to go!

Also, the Senate Minority Whip that actually voted for the thing, Dick Durbin can suck it.

Chuck Schumer is:
A) incompetent
B) a filthy fawning quisling
C) both A & B
D) a capable leader with is finger on the pulse of the nation

Unless you think the answer is D, it’s time to #DumpChuck

Call your Senators and let them know how you feel.

The answer Sen, Shaheen is that since America elected the Black man to be president, the official position of the Republican Party is “not to work together with Democrats to address the problems that are facing this country.”

If you want us to believe you aren’t in on it, vote to remove Schumer as minority leader.

okay, so, with Dems successfully keeping anyone up in 2026 for voting for this turd let's take a look at who's up in 2026 anyway:

1. Cory Booker - apparently involved behind the scenes, constantly looking for bipartisanship. I don't dislike him personally but he doesn't have what we need. Primary.

Are you really that gullible or are you complicit?

Johnson won’t hold an ACA vote. The senate vote won’t matter, even if it does pass.

And that’s assuming that there ever is a vote.

Good thing the GOP leadership has such a good record on truthfulness.

Senator Kaine is a spineless fool.

Spineless

We can’t kick the quisling out of the Senate for a few years, but he does not need to be Minority Leader after this.

Fire Schumer.

We need a Senate Minority Leader with courage and conviction, not a craven quisling.

I’m going to be calling my senators again today to ask them to replace Chuck Schumer as minority leader.

He’s shown himself to be incompetent, a quisling, or both.

I think it’s time to petition our senators to elect a new Senate minority leader.

@schumer.senate.gov has betrayed us again.

If you’re going through all the trouble of animating a CGI Arnie, the only answer is:

Predator
vs
Kindergarten Cop

“It’s not a tumor!”

“woke” is when you acknowledge that black people have contributed to the united states

Sublime.

I waited quite a while for my turn to check it out. It was well worth the wait.

Wild Faith connected the dots between things I’d witnessed, but never really took seriously enough to tie together—like how cartoonish TV preachers and the Satanic Panic lead up to modern Dominionism.

Thank you!

In Japan, tourism to Portland, Oregon, is promoted by a grinning blue monster named Odnarodude. He’s at a Portland artisan event in Jiyugaoka De Aone this weekend.

One possibility:

They are spies and the miniature donkey discussion is a recognition scheme. They kissed to pass information encoded in synthetic bacterial DNA.

It’s three next big things in one. After quantum, we can have quantum cryptocurrency and then quantum AI.

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison.

So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

IS con: need to buy ISBNs
IS pro: ISBNs are MINE, not KDP.
KDP pro: comes with ISBNs
IS con: books have to be returnable
IS pro: libraries and bookstores are markets
KDP con: no libraries or bookstores

Do I understand this right? Would appreciate observations and advice.

Thank you kindly!

It's 20 years since @seanphillips.bsky.social and I exchanged a sketchbook back and forth in the mail, a drawn &painted call and response. INTERSECTIONS may be out of print but here is a flip through that sketchbook. You can still find the book out there :)

It read like someone was having a stroke.

Ever read “The Space Merchants” by Kornbluth and Pohl?

It’s a very dated, but also prescient bit of sci-fi social commentary. The novel is a pamphlet by today’s standards.

We could do much worse with a rallying cry of “Turn the volume up!”

Zohran’s victory speech was a barn burner, and if he started strong with the words Eugene V Debs, from there he soared.

Easily one of the best political speeches I have heard in years.

Which is why we need you in the Whitehouse in 2029.

These seem like crazy ideas.

The right way to address the concerns about blocklist quality seems to me to be to expose some metrics to blocklist subscribers to help them understand list quality and performance.

Also people need to get used to being blocked. “Welcome to BlueSky—blocks happen.”

The win was a great relief, but there were tons of warnings that would be dictators tend to try multiple coups before they succeed.

But if you wanted to think well of this country or if you believed in the lie of American exceptionalism, it was too hard to envision us turning back.
