A #BlueskyLullaby for tonight: To finish off this Halloween, here's Beethoven's so-called "Ghost" movement, the spooky second movement of one of his piano trios. See you around.

And of course for a “Doyer” fan feeling is mutual. Cheers!

My favorite thing as a writer is when I start ranting about something on Bluesky, get it all out of my system, and then turn it into a real piece of writing.

On that note: hey, it’s me, heckling centrist Dems in the New Republic!

Trump Is Very Confused About Nuclear Weapons The president says he wants to resume nuclear testing but doesn’t seem to know why.

The president wants to resume nuclear testing. This is a really bad idea - and he can't even get his facts right about why he wants to do it:

noteworthy that rather than funding experiments into challenging conservative message domination on the local level or building between-election outreach capacity at the state level, centrist donors are throwing millions at what amount to online factional battles among a couple dozen people

I have had & currently have employees who receive SNAP benefits & their healthcare through the ACA. Mostly part time, but some full time like dishwashers. They aren’t lazy, or freeloading, or whatever racist oligarchic trope Republicans want to use to justify their continued bullshit shutdown.

And by the way: I have a number of older cousins (once, twice, and more removed) and close non-blood related family who are my “Tía’s and Tío’s”.

My wife’s 68 y/o sister (from NOLA and white) has two female housemates - they’ve all lived together (never married) for 40+ years. We all (me, my kids, and even our friends) refer to as “aunts”. This isn’t hard or unusual.

Every $1 invested in SNAP generates $1.80 in local economic activity. Without SNAP, that will mean a loss of $15 billion to the US economy just in November alone.

The people who think the government should be run like a business are killing something that has a 180% ROI. THAT is how you bankrupt a casino.

Lots of folks are part of this organization- they’re an amazing group of people. It’s the 30% more than last year that’s more than a little disquieting.
