Bucks County’s ICE-Loving, MAGA Sheriff Fred Harran Got What He Deserved: A Pink Slip From Voters on Election Night - Bucks County Beacon Sheriff-elect Danny Ceisler, a 33-year-old Democrat from Bristol Borough, was in many ways the crest of the “Blue Wave” that washed away local Republican office holders.

One of our country's greatest war criminals just died, the president is arguing with himself about whether or not to let 40 million people starve, and there is an actual courtroom drama about a five dollar footlong.

How are any of us supposed to maintain emotional regulation.

It's rather unusual for a bishop to personally take part in a protest and suggests that the Vatican has given at least tacit approval.

INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE

SECOND INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE OVER ZOOM TO MEET MORE OF THE TEAM

UNFORTUNATELY, YOU HAVE NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL ON THIS OCCASION, BUT WE HOPE YOU'LL APPLY FOR FUTURE POSITIONS WITH THE VAMPIRE

One year ago today, our phones started blowing up, Friends heard volunteer finisher talk about Loose Ends on Jeopardy. Thousands of people have found us because of that mention. Maybe someday we will be the answer to a question!!! Instagram has the video. 🩷@jeopardyofficial.bsky.social

Therapist: May I suggest you take a break?

Me: Sure! OK! So. I want to be optimally relaxed. I'd like to maximize how refreshed I feel in the shortest amount of time possible. What's the best tactic? How do I reach peak rest? How do I win resting? Can I min/max my leisure?

Therapist: Oh no.

A lot of Americans would love to talk about kitchen table issues, unfortunately the kitchen table is being used to barricade the front door because ICE is trying to illegally enter private property to arrest and detain them.

I couldn't capture a ton of sanderling footage this evening, but I got enough I hope it brings a smile to your face for 3-8 seconds ❤️😊 🪶

Introduction: “Magic” and Early Petrine Literary Traditions Abstract. This introductory chapter aims to problematize the popular axiom that one person’s magic is another person’s miracle. This understanding of magic

if you’re curious about what i’m up to, OUP has unlocked the introduction until 11/24. you can read that here:

You may be able to see the magic with the naked eye after six shots 🫣

It's Diwali proper, so I'm going to use this opportunity to port over one of my favorite threads from the Other Place to tell the story of why this holiday matters so much and why i get choked up every time.

These folks have plainly joined the Dark Side (while trying to hide it under a cloak of sweet reasonableness). Also: you CAN refuse every project that uses generative AI. It's called "choosing a side." (And if we're playing with idioms: it's easy to wind up with too much nose and not enough face...)

I know I’m extremely late to the party, but I enormously enjoyed @tkingfisher.com’s Nettle & Bone. Just a terrific read about human characters who happen to be Princesses and Witches on a crazy road trip to kill a dude who has it coming. 5 stars from me, will read again.

An excerpt from revolutionary letters, number eight, a poem by Diane Di Prima: try to be clear in front, what you will do if it comes to trouble if you’re going to try to split stay out of the center don’t stampede or panic others don’t waver between active and passive resistance know your limitations, bear contempt neither for yourself, nor any of your brothers // NO ONE WAY WORKS, it will take all of us shoving at the thing from all sides to bring it down.

I’m still learning. Lots of people who have been doing various forms of activism & community care work for a long time know much & I am grateful to them. & I can’t put it better than Diane Di Prima did:

“NO ONE WAY WORKS, it will take all of us
shoving at the thing from all sides
to bring it down”

or, in the words of the Nac Mac Feegle:

“Free Men! Nae king! Nae quin! Nae laird! Nae master! We willna' be fooled again!”

[Exit King.]

For God’s sake let us sit upon the ground
And tell sad stories of the death of kings

NEW: Pope Leo Set To Break Up Opus Dei If Pope Leo does indeed approves a plan that effectively dissolves Opus Dei’s structure, it would be the most significant internal action of his short pontificate to date.

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV is set to effectively disband Opus Dei in the coming weeks.

This would be the most sweeping internal reform of his pontificate — and a dramatic continuation of Pope Francis’s legacy.

MAGA Rage at “No Kings” Boils Over—and It Quickly Backfires on Trump As Trump allies smear the coming protests, a good writer on MAGA skewers the absurdity of these attacks on large swaths of Americans—and explains why our best recourse will be to turn out in force.

one of the reasons they're so mad at "no kings" is that they thought they were going to get a different kind of protest. they *want* the black bloc to be out there fighting with the cops. those are the images they've been trying to generate from "go." instead--

US revokes visas for 6 foreigners over Charlie Kirk-related speech The Trump administration has revoked the visas of six foreigners deemed by U.S. officials to have made derisive comments or made light of the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk last m...

Mandatory age verification to "protect children" is not to protect children. It is to deanonymize every adult speaker and consumer of speech online so the government can retaliate against speakers and speech they don't approve of. For instance: apnews.com/article/trum...

Please be conscious if you protest this weekend that there are feds at the protest. They look like you and they sound like you, not like Steve Buscemi in that one clip with the skateboard. Thinking you can spot them is self delusion. Nobody you haven’t met needs to know your last name.

It's time again as a notable Italian-American to note Christopher Columbus was an absolute piece of shit human who didn't land anywhere near this actual country so why the fuck should he stop the mail for the whole day

Anyway, Happy Indigenous People's Day, y'all
