Just finished The Obelisk Gate (book 2 of The Broken Earth trilogy).

Loved this as well. Some mysteries solved, new ones revealed. Great character and plot twists.

Forgot to mention: 1 of the POVs is told in 2nd Person. Adds a unique aspect to the story. TOG reveals who is doing the telling. 😲

THEN YOU PURCHASE THEM AND DO NOT USE THE PROPERTY OF OTHERS

Surprising nobody who understands how any of this works.

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.

The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

EIGHTY ONE YEARS AGO

EIGHTY

GODDAMNED

ONE

More nighttime aurora borealis in the sky, with both pink and green lights (faintly) visible.

Aurora borealis, now with pink!

The aurora borealis vaintly visible in the northern night sky.

Can kinda see a the aurora borealis from our house tonight. It's more visible in the picture than IRL, but still pretty cool.

Screenshot of a tweet from Joyce Carol Oates posted on Sunday, November 9th that reads "so curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates--scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. in fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. the poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the "most wealthy person in the world."

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

Outstanding

just a reminder that the 8 Dems who folded need to vote again later in the week (thanks to dumb senate procedure, unsurprisingly)

light their phones up tomorrow at 9AM

Lando Calrissian tells Han, Leia and Chewie, "I've just made a deal that'll keep the Empire out of here forever."

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Every Democrat senator that folded needs to be primaried.

I am glad Caleb Williams is such a clutch player, but goddamn am I tired of every Bears game being a 3-hour panic attack.

Used our date night and house empty of children to watch GDT's Frankenstein.

Beautiful film. Tragic and haunting. Wish we'd have been able to seen it on the big screen, but alas.

Oscar Isaac will never not be compelling on screen. Was surprised how moved I was by Elordi's performance.

I read this book so many times it was falling apart. *Is* falling apart. Still have my old copy in a box somewhere.

That's a wild coincidence!

HE'S APPEALING TO THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES THAT HE BE ALLOWED TO STARVE AMERICANS

Our politicians did more to regulate Prince and Twisted Sister songs than glacier melting chatbots that promote suicide

To put this in scale, Elon Musk's salary from Tesla alone could fund the SNAP program for the entire country into 2034.

And inaccurate!

YouTube video by Diggnation Dan Trachtenberg Explains Predator: Badlands and Why this Time, the Predator Becomes the Prey

Warms my heart to watch this mini-Totally Rad Show reunion as Alex interviews Dan about Predator: Badlands.

My 8 year-old 🙃

"'They’re spending more money than I would even tax them,' [Mamdani] said in an interview with MSNBC last week."

This is the message. Make it clear that these billionaires aren't just worried about losing money. They're worried about losing the ability to exchange their money for power.

So proud of Dan and so stoked to see it this weekend.

"The day NYC elects a Muslim Mayor will be the day I die."

--Dick Cheney probably

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed.

The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

I think a thing we'll learn tonight is that people fucking hate what is going on and they will straight ticket vote against anyone involved in starving people while pillaging the country and kidnapping their neighbors. I don't think it matters at all who that person is.

So excited to get out and see it this weekend.

Always rooting for Dan, and he keeps killing it.
