'Did you even say thank you?'

From the excellent Machu Picchu exhibition at the Australian Museum, Sydney.

after trump - oops! - accidentally has his top campaign donor fire hundreds of people from the National Nuclear Security Administration...

now we learn that, apparently, the new plan is that he's going to handle that one himself, "man to man."

whew! sigh of relief.

I am proud to join over 350 rabbis and cantors, plus a long list (and growing) of Jewish creatives to sign on to an ad in the @nytimes.com crying out against the president’s (ימ"ש) call for the removal of all Palestinians from Gaza.

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

Thought it might be a tiny act of defiance to buy Canadian and Mexican and boycott American stuff from dark red states. Any ideas?
I can only use so much maple syrup, and I don't eat American chocolate ( oxymoron, I know), Oreos, or drink bourbon.
Any suggestions?

Every time you don't buy a book from Amazon, but use a good indie store who actually values the sale & treats you & your purchase with respect, the sun shines brighter, floofy puppies gambol in fresher grass, & Jeff Bezos's piles sting for just a biiiit longer.

Americans will be eating eggs ad nauseum at breakfast, since the Orange Overlord promised to make them cheap again.
There'll be no OJ (no fruit pickers), coffee (tarrifs), NO Danish pastries, no maple syrup for pancakes.

Stolen meme. Couldn't help myself.

BREAKING: Biden's farewell address strikes a nerve as Google searches for the word "oligarchy" skyrocket after he warns that one "is taking shape in America of extreme wealth, power and influence that literally threatens our entire democracy."

Billionaires are on notice. America is waking up.

The same people who believe in “The Great Replacement Theory,” who think they will all be replaced by foreigners, will all actually be giddily replaced by AI by their tech bro overlords.

Thank you for keeping me from imploding, Randy. I haven't even stuck a fork in my eye!

I'm finding it difficult to completely disengage from fb, but I won't advertise my books there anymore. Zuck da Fuck has enough money and clearly has an addiction to it, so I'm staging an intervention.

After seeing that fb has decided it's okay to call LGBTQI people crazy, I have nothing but disgust and loathing for Zuckerberg. He has specifically carved out and 'othered' one group, because right-wing religous nutters want someone to demonise.

Canberra friends, Paperchain is pulling my books after 90 days on consignment. If you know anyone after a paperback, last chance for the forseeable

I definitely found it memorable, thanks to an unexpected deposit of "dead lice" in my lap! 😆 But seriously, it was indeed fantastic.

They can deflect meteors, so why not redirect one to where it's needed?

The Possession of Metal is now on Amazon as an ebook, and soon as a print on demand paperback 😀📚📡🚀🚀🚀
