Meow!

Irrationally angry about this.

Also funny is the now fired LSU AD is responsible for 2 of the top 5 biggest contract buyouts. I didn't realize he had hired Jimbo Fisher at Texas A&M too.

Woke up to this greedy foolishness.

Good luck!

Roscoe with 1983 and a postcard of her which depicts her looking unusually cheery

The rear cover of 1983

Hello! My CEO Roscoe and I are giving away TWO signed copies of my novel 1983 to two randomly selected people who repost this & pop a reply below. You also get a free postcard of this illustration of Roscoe by my mum.

It’s been called “Stranger Things rewritten by Kurt Vonnegut & Sue Townsend”…

They should totally let Trump pick the new head coach

LSU has an immensely toxic culture when it comes to sports and I for one am here for it! 🍿

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

When November 1st hits, millions of us will feel it. Here are three resources/action items for this week. 🧵

Someone said it's national cat day in the US. Here's a pic of Frejya and Ransom. South Carolina, USA.

Using my masters' degrees in English and creative writing as intended: changing the lyrics of all the songs on the classic rock station to be about Joseph to comfort him on the way to the vet

Russia’s war economy hits its wall: ISW and US Treasury confirm Euromaidan Press analysis The signs were already there—Western intelligence is just catching up.

📉 Russia’s war machine was supposed to run forever.

Now, ISW and the US Treasury confirm what Ukraine’s economists said weeks ago: it’s stalling. Inflation is above 20%, tank output collapses, and industries are cracking under sanctions.

The illusion of limitless war meets the wall of reality.

It's the deadliest year for ICE in decades. As detentions rise, the trend may continue There have been at least 20 deaths in ICE custody in 2025, the deadliest year since 2004. As the agency is ramping up hiring and increasing detentions, concerns remain about how to stop the trend.

ICE has reached the highest death count since the early 2000s. Former employees cite:
-There are way more people detained
-ICE is making more arrests in communities, which means health histories are less known
-years-long struggle to recruit medical pros

Omg look at his cute little face

SCDSS has shared that they were notified to hold November SNAP issuance files until further notice.

Meme. Medieval image showing a cooper making a barrel. He is leaning over the barrel with a wooden wedge in one hand, and a wooden mallet raised high in the other. He's about to strike, like a cobra (if the cobra were holding a wooden mallet). The man has massively muscled forearms, and a sharply receding hairline. He's going bald, and will arm wrestle you into submission if you bring it up. He is wearing a yellow apron with tools hanging from his belt, a light blue shirt, and a dark cowl. His grey hair speaks to his experience, and his calm look says that he hasn't noticed yet that he's in a meme. On the wall behind his is a coil of rope, and something that might be a hat or a hood. It is, though, more fun to imagine that it is a fedora and a coiled whip, and that this man is actually Indiana Jones, taking a break from questionable archeology and bad pedagogy to make a few barrels. Meme text reads: "Lock, stock, and two slithering barrels of eels"

There was a robust trade in live eels in pre-modern England, & I know you're wondering: "How do I ship live eels?"

Not in barrels of water. They'll use up the oxygen & die. Nope. You pack them in layers of damp moss or hay, & off you go. They don't need to be in water.

Wut? 1/3

Yup. This won't be the last.

We went to No Kings looking for paid protestors. What we found will shock you.

This offensive line looks like 1999.

Absolutely abysmal.

#Gamecocks

Wow this Gamecocks offense is really terrible. And at least some of it is on Mike Shula.

A dog with a very skeptical look on her face

Winnie has some thoughts about this Gamecocks football game.

KNOW YOUR PROTEST RIGHTS. 1: You don't need a permit to protest in response to breaking news or to march on sidewalks or streets as long as traffic and building access are not obstructed. 2: You have the right to photograph anything in plain view while lawfully in public, including federal buildings and police. 3: If your rights are violated, document everything by writing details, collecting witness contact information, and taking photos of injuries. 4: If stopped by police, ask if you are free to go. If yes, calmly walk away. 5: If arrested, invoke your right to remain silent and request a lawyer. Do not sign, speak, or agree to anything without legal representation. 6: If stopped by military or law enforcement at a protest, you have the right to remain silent and only answer questions in the presence of an attorney, regardless of immigration or citizenship status.

Headed out to a #NoKings protest this weekend? Know your rights before you go.
