I have come to the idea that we have to collectively, brutally, ritualistically kill Target just to show capital that we truly aren’t fucking around.

FYI as you head into the holiday season:

Shopify is a Canadian company, but its CEO Tobi Lütke is Maple MAGA in both words & monetary support (under the guise of “free speech” & “open commerce”).

Before AI came along with their rot (and at least *I* have never used/installed chatGPT, midjourney or any of those programmes) there was digital art, vector art, clipart, & any number of photo manipulation tools. Some of the elements in apps use these things. Not everything digital is AI.

Moult by Anita Harris Satkunananthan I shed my skin every seven years. I never realise it till long after the act of shedding has taken place.

My short story “Moult” which is written in both English and Malay is now reprinted in @innerworlds.bsky.social in very good company!

In interviews on Monday, two U.S. officials — both of whom were supportive of the administration’s boat strikes — described a meeting before the attack at which Mr. Hegseth had briefed Special Operations Forces commanders on his execute order to engage the boat with lethal force. That written order, they said, did not address what should happen if people survived the first strike. Several people familiar with the congressional effort said that lawmakers had asked to see a copy of the execute order and that the administration refused to turn it over. The two officials also said Mr. Hegseth made no oral directive at the meeting that went beyond the written order. The Post article did not provide context on when Mr. Hegseth gave what its sources described as a spoken order to kill everyone.

The two officials questioned whether the surviving people were Admiral Bradley’s intended target in the second strike, as opposed to the purported drugs and the disabled vessel. They argued that the purported cargo remained a threat and a lawful military target because another cartel-associated boat might have come to retrieve it.

The NYT giving people involved in all of this anonymity to protect themselves from accountability and so they can try to get others out of war crimes, murder charges, or both is a choice.

Costco sues the Trump administration, seeking a refund of tariffs The wholesaler is the latest company to sue a federal agency over the president's signature economic policy.

Target:
We will comply in advance like cowards, please keep shopping here while we jack up the prices and let quality slip into the trash

Costco:
We kept the price of staple goods stable to protect our customers. We’re suing to get the tariffs removed from everyone.

Hey y'all! I wrote a story with help from my late grandmother's diaries, "Entries From My Grandmother's Diary Pertaining To My Father's Early Inflammation," and you can read it (and several other excellent stories) in this issue of Small Wonders!

Go get yourself some good reading!

yes please hit him with everything. all the shit he's doing isn't legal (or good!), etc etc so call him out on it.

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.

And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

I don't disagree with John but there's another layer too which is people like him should never get near power and yet they get near it often.

There's something wrong with the system that allows people like Miller to do anything more significant than bookkeeping.

State and Local Contracts Prop Up For-Profit Prisons - The American Prospect CoreCivic and GEO Group profit from Trump’s immigration policies while also receiving lucrative contracts from state and local governments, including areas controlled by Democrats.

From Vermont to California, local governments are contracting with the same private prisons doing deportations for Trump. Activists are pressuring local officials to cancel their contracts with brutal prison contractors. From @matthewcook5.bsky.social: trib.al/9pOIVHn

Bari Weiss made his home a target, and they killed Dr. Alareer, his sister, her 3 children, his brother and that brother's son.
Bari Weiss is a proud propagandist for racist murder.

Rep. Jacob Rosecrants 🌩️ @jacobrosecrants I’m aware of this awful situation, shared by my constituent Dr. Landis. Nobody seems to know where Dr. Abedini is being held, tho he has contacted family. Rep. Deck reached out to Rep. Cole & Sen. Lankford’s office is looped in. Here to be a squeaky wheel & help however I can.

Rep. Jacob Rosecrants is in touch with State Rep. Jared Deck (Norman) and Rep. Tom Cole (Repub). The office of U.S. Sen. James Lankford (Repub) has been made aware.

They can't find Dr. Abedini's location. Important for several reasons including filing habeas corpus docs.

I only know about this through family lore: the family dachshund once made off with the entire (yet to be cooked) turkey; they finally found him in the laundry room with his little butt wiggling out from the turkey's neck hole while he munched away at the inside

It was a tur-dachshund

The next Thanksgiving she brought canned cranberry sauce. They loved it.

This instance is now a ritual mainstay of my family’s Thanksgivings. “How’s the cranberry sauce?” (hold up forkful of wiggly sauce and pretend to contemplate) “It’s great, but it’s not canned!”

They all watched expectantly as my sister and I each tried a forkful. It wasn’t at all like I expected. “Well, what do you think?” they asked.

My sister held up her fork and quipped before I could stop her: “It’s great, but it’s not canned.” And proceeded to heap praise on canned cranberry sauce.

We grew up on canned cranberry sauce with our Thanksgiving meals. When I was in college we were invited to a family friends’ home for Thanksgiving. They made their own cranberry sauce. With *real cranberries.* We had heard this kind of delicacy existed but how good could it really be?
