North Carolina Republicans just drew a map giving themselves 11 of 14 congressional seats in our 50/50 state. That’s 79% of the seats for one party.

That’s not representation — it’s a brazen attack on democracy and fair elections.

Went out with an old friend tonight, then met up with his spouse and her friends. Realized a huge bonus of being single is not having to hang with an SO’s lame friends.

Found a tick on my sofa today! Yuck

Yes, you did vote to deport moms.

To recap, the head of FEMA was fired a few weeks before the start of hurricane season and replaced by someone with no emergency management experience.

U.S. Government to Stop Tracking the Costs of Extreme Weather

I had already downloaded the datasets in January, assuming this would happen. Doesn't make it any easier to watch the continued attacks on climate science from a totally incompetent US government. The growing loss of critical data and monitoring efforts is tragic. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/08/c...

I’m really hoping for a slow news day at some point.

And Carrie snubbed the ones who didn’t sing overtly Christian songs. So wrong!

Agreed. Slater’s grandparents were friends of my parents, and he’s now close with my nephew. By all accounts, he’s a good kid. And clearly talented. The Christian celebration really put me off, though. Are any of the contestants Jewish or Muslim?

I’m watching #americanidol for the 1st time because a family friend (Slater) is on it. Last night’s Christian Easter show was inappropriate. Can we boycott Carrie Underwood?

Of Course Trump Will Tank the Economy. It’s What Republicans Do. As the president’s “Liberation Day” nears, it’s time to liberate ourselves from the vicious cycle of Democrats having to clean up the GOP’s messes.

Here's one statistic for you:

→ Net jobs created under Clinton and Obama: 33.8 million.
→ Net jobs created under Bush, Bush, AND Trump: 1.9 million.

That is not a typo.

Almost every writer I know has had some of their work illegally loaded into LibGen by Meta. Including me.

Justice @allisonjriggs.bsky.social was elected to the NC Supreme Court.

Two recounts confirmed she won - yet it’s the only race in the country that remains uncertified.

That’s money that could have gone to future judicial races or efforts to turn out Democratic voters in 2026.

Wisconsin, today is the first day of early in-person voting!

On the subject of people traveling to the US right about now: Fuck, if I were from another country and I didn't need to come, I sure as hell wouldn't, the current administration has made it clear traveling here isn't safe, and why not take them at their word, there's a whole world to visit

Elon Musk Has Wanted the Government Shutdown Sources tell WIRED that Elon Musk has wanted a government shutdown in part because it would potentially make it easier to eliminate the jobs of hundreds of thousands of federal workers.

This is the time to replant trees. How can we help make that happen?

Canada is slashing its order of F-35 fighters from 88 to not more than 32. It will re-invest the billions saved to purchase 60 or more Swedish Saab Gripen E/F-39's. The USA is no longer a trustworthy ally. Simply.

I'm honestly running out of words I can use on the air to describe what's happening in and to this economy
