It's the going for help with Pritzker that makes this truly remarkable and potentially a sign of national Democratic coordination

That sucks, Jordan. Fuck Amazon and fuck these AI peddlers

A row of AI-generated covers for bootleg SHE RIDES SHOTGUN novels for sale on Amazon.

If you search for "She Rides Shotgun" on Amazon right now, instead of my novel you get a row of AI-generated bootlegs. Man you just can't win in hellworld. (Don't buy my book from Amazon anyway, but also fuck these slop-peddlers to the moon).

Be VERY wary of Biden and DOJ cheerleaders who are pretending to *just now* figure out the information in the article below. Many of them harassed or threatened me for years for telling the truth and for writing this piece. They are complicit in their own way.

cactuscloudsart Today I discovered a woman called "Angie the ICE Chaser" on TikTok and she literally just follows ICE vehicles in her car. They become increasingly erratic in their attempts to lose her (breaking sooo many laws on camera) and they never do. She is single handedly striking terror into ICE agents across LA. She also follows them through neighborhoods honking her horn and shouting "THEY ARE ICE!" out her window. There is a GFM for gas money and the legal fees she is fully expecting to come around.

Saw my first Spirit Halloween sign in the wild today.

Capitilism’s next big holiday is here.

You couldn’t turn on basic cable without a deluge of Girls Gone Wild commercials.

A quick scan of women’s music from the 90s would be revelatory. TLC’s music was a counternarrative. Lilith Fair existed for a reason. What was Riot Grrl was rioting against? Queen Latifah gave us a whole anthem.

Remembering Wes Craven: The Gateway Filmmaker for a Generation of Horror Fans Wes Craven’s Scream wasn’t supposed to be a smash. When it opened in December of 1996, in the midst of a particularly crowded holiday movie season, it was only on 1400 screens; it came in fourth for…

Wes Craven was born on this day in 1939. When he passed in 2015, I wrote this piece about his place in the history of horror:

Where does the climate movement go from here? In the face of Trump's climate assault, Bill McKibben proposes a sun-soaked path forward.

“California, the fourth largest economy on planet Earth, is this summer using 40 percent less natural gas than it did two years ago to generate electricity.

If you wanna know why the fossil fuel industry is freaking out and sponsoring every bad politician on Earth, that's why.”

So i guess this is what it felt like when Scar took over and turned everything into Shadowland.

University sidelines scientist who exposed toxic metals in Lake Maurepas The SELU scientist who discovered alarming levels of toxic chemicals in Lake Maurepas was abruptly removed from her research position without explanation.

Anyway the reason why so many men are so lonely is because they’ve been taught that a wife is a status symbol, not a person, and it turns out that whether you succeed or fail at acquiring a status symbol, you’re still deeply alone.

Well this is bad. Google is indexing ChatGPT conversations exposing sensitive user data

I tried a few quick searches. I found someone's chat where I can see their api key

I found some building their resume. Their name, email and phone numbers are exposed.

Hard fucking agree. We cannot keep saving this country from itself.

Is… is he supposed to be an android?

And how did they get his face like that with practical effects????

We need a Patrick Bateman of the left

I do not care if men are changing their politics over their sex lives, because if they are, trying to find some magic words to cajole them back is a toxic and pointless endeavor. This isn't disillusioned youth with good hearts & a single grievance. This is Veruca Salt. And I have no fucks to give.

Was there another article about straight dudes not getting laid? Cause I wanna point out—once again—the “male loneliness epidemic“ does not exist within the gay male community. They’re getting by just fine.

saw your reply 1 min after you posted it but will wait an hour before I heart it so I don't look like a psycho

One of the most insidious qualities of white supremacy is that it cannot be named. White people make it impossible to actually discuss in public spheres. I believe that is the *primary* reason it can't yet be eradicated.

I Alt text: News headline from the Boston Globe reading, "N.H. Governor Kelly Ayotte signs bills banning gender-affirming care for minors." The subheadline states that the new laws make New Hampshire the first state in New England to ban puberty blockers and hormone therapy for transgender minors.

Republican Governor Kelly Ayotte signed the ban on gender affirming care for trans youth in New Hampshire becoming the first state in New England to do so.

The state is motto is live free or die and it's clear they chose die for trans youth.

That sequence was incredible. A story that paid off in and of itself.

Ralph Lauren has done a collection inspired by a Black community on Martha’s Vineyard called Oak Bluffs. They’ve partnered with/are supporting Morehouse and Spelman, and Cottagers Inc., Black women homeowners preserving Oak Bluffs’ history.

The website is excellent, and there’s a film too.

The Rule of Law Is Dead in the US The rule of law presupposes that there are rules that provide a consistent, repeatable, and knowable set of outcomes. That’s no longer the case.

The Rule of Law is officially dead in the US. How do we know? Here, @elienyc.bsky.social explains what the rule of law actually means and how we know it’s stopped functioning.

Saw The Naked Gun (2025) tonight and it was a good time in the theater. There are so many laugh out loud moments, especially the first 2/3, I’ll say the last act was running out of steam but still had laughs. As someone who loved spoof movies it’s great to have a good one again.

The pilgrims were escaping religious persecution.

It's a half truth hiding who the pilgrims were. Christian extremists. The persecution was essentially "Hey can you cool it?".

In 1600s England they were too extreme. It also contextualizes a lot about what they did and how this country was formed.
