Today's literary accomplishment - have linked my Tolkien fanfic universe to my own alternate history (hereby dubbed the "Realityverse", after my chronologically earliest MAIN main character, one Ms. Reality Lens).

Now, what is this "text" I hear tell of?

I hereby nominate Dr. Susan Monarez for first President of Earth.

As in, "storm's coming in, so make sure there's nothing on the basement floor that you don't want getting wet."

I mean, when *would* you want things on the floor getting wet?

Need better word.

Too Damn Much Trying To Think In Elvish Dept. - isn't it weird that we don't have a good word for actively not wanting something?

So, in my w.e.i.p. Tolkien fanfic epic, I just made the mom of one of my First Age atani characters "proto-haradrim". Which, long story short, makes Aragorn a woke DEI hire:)

It's not even May. I fell on love with these as a kid bc they bloomed on my birthday. In June. WTF, humans.

Halfway though Andor S2 Ep1 - how awful is this wistful feeling at how *competent* the Empire is?

Note that Senator Booker is more coherent after 24 1/2 hours of talking than 47 at the peak of a good day.

...finally realized that I had inadvertently tapped on a video in the Weather Channel app and it was trying to tell me about cherry blossoms.
With VERY BOMBASTIC MUSIC.

This really is the weirdest timeline.

So my phone just started randomly playing music and talking to me a minute ago - was frantically looking for any open app and thinking omg Elon has activated the Universal Surveillance And Indoctrination Mode...

The Consolidated People's Republick of Shampoo-Banana REPRESENT!

But what about the courts shutting down?

I don't think Shumer is caving, I think he thinks he's Cassandra. I guess we'll find out...

Note the layered malicious bullshit in the "51st state" vileness: Canada is, what, 8 provinces and 2 territories? Which should be 16-20 new Senators, most, if not all of which would by nature be Democrats. Hmmmm...

The most despicable, traitorous crime in US history is unfolding rightTF now.

Apparently this morning the CIA stopped sharing intelligence with Ukraine. We just stabbed them right in the back. Guessing a massive attack is imminent.

Whatever else happens, we will never live down this shame.

I say let's make like Battlestar Galactica and go with Linda McMahon. Yeah, that sounds like it would work.

@50501movement.bsky.social either the 'find a protest' doesn't work poor there is nothing at all in illinois??? I put in both my location and the capital and got no results. Then I tried keyword 'protest' - nothing. how are we supposed to know what keyword to use?

Not finding anything at all in Illinois...????

Well, crap, just when they're about to kill off the entire "parasite class"? We can't have THAT!

El Capitan displays a massive American flag upside down—the traditional signal of distress or extreme emergency.

The reason I can't write: just realized that the parents of one of the main characters in my Tolkien fanfic epic-in-progress are actually Elvish versions of Dorothy Sayers' Peter and Harriet, which means I now have to incorporate *their* story, with all required badinage....instant overwhelm ensues.

What Social Security?

Or like HCR, "doggy". No shade on dogs, though.

Catching up on Mr. Colbert - "Teenage Mutant Incels".

Elon Musk’s 20-year-old staffers are not only demanding access to highly restricted information but are also displaying aggressive behavior—shouting at anyone who stands in their way, resorting to name-calling, throwing tantrums, and even hitting objects in anger.

Now Passing Point Green, heading toward what promises to be a helluva summer.

From a FB comment thread, re: Elon's cadre of Bright Young Turdworms (for whom a very, very special place in Hell is being prepared):

"Nerd Reich"

Yw.

From HCR, re the takeover of the fed pmt system:

"The system is due to undergo a migration to another system this weekend; how the changes will interact with that long-planned migration is unclear."

Everybody seeing that who has ever worked in/ with IT just screamed and shat themselves a little.

No shade on Rep. McBride, but a heartfelt THANK YOU to Mr. Steele for that impeccable "No they don't."
