A book cover that says A HAUNTING ON THE HILL by Elizabeth Hand.

Been taking time away to fight back my brain woims. Absolutely devouring this book the last few evenings. Genuinely scary. Shirley would have loved it.

Tweet from Ryan Grim: "Understand what Neera is arguing for here: she thinks that no Democratic candidate should appear on any podcast where a host has flirted with conspiracy theories around Charlie Kirk and Israel. I don't think she understands how many podcasts that includes. And if you make the opposite argument, and say no, actually, tens of millions of people love those shows, Democrats should be on them, she says I'm "defending anti-semitic conspiracy podcasters." The good news is that this stuff doesn't work anymore. Save your breath, nobody cares."

I really don't think "There are so many antisemitic podcasts out there that you just can't help but appear on them" is the defense they think it is.

I was going to make a joke about how racists grieved The Confederacy longer than Erica Kirk grieved her husband, but when I thought about it, it was less of a joke and more just a factual statement.

I saw someone describe using AI as "cultural debt" and that really makes so much sense. The more we rely on AI for creative work, the more cultural debt we accrue.

Quote from Washington Times editorial board "[Radical liberals] don't realize that, when they express contempt for the man who holds the country's highest office, they reveal their contempt for the Americans who put him there."

Uh no...we definitely realize it.

A photo of the breakfast described

My breakfast:
— bagel croutons, shaken in a plastic bag with olive oil, pepper, salt, garlic powder, Italian seasoning and yeast, then pan fried
— three eggs scrambled with grated cheddar
— salsa from El Molino Central in Agua Caliente
— sliced avocado

I keep thinking about how the propaganda leading to this war was all about how you needed to rescue women and the first thing they did was kill dozens of little girls.

i see we have entered the “get mad at Democrats about unilateral Trump action” phase of the thing and, whatever makes you happy I guess

most of the criticisms are correct and almost all of them are irrelevant

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done

- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy

Congress must be rolling over in their graves right now.

We will literally go to war rather than arrest any rich pedophiles in this country.

Just go ahead and put little skulls on our hats, gentlemen; we are the baddies.

Also Kamala Harris, love her or not, had some swag. And LBJ gave no fucks whatsoever, which is lowkey hot

If you're wealthy and powerful "the law" has always more or less been sternly worded letters. The "rule of law" only exists to legitimize hurting the marginalized.

That’ll do it
