Spec-fic writer... except when I'm not writing. Gets easily distracted by space/nature porn, politics, any interesting story, fantasy novels, AI hatred, dogs... was that a squirrel? Anyhoo, I should probably be writing right now.

I almost forgot to wish everyone a Happy Bloomsday!
After missing Towel Day back in May, this could have been a major faux pas.

I've seen this quote attributed to Flanary O Conner, it is true for me as well. Love this.

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?

NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country

HASSAN: That's incorrect

Always loved Calvin and Hobbes but the day I realised that it wasn't just talking tiger & kid but Calvin's stuffed toy he lives in this alternate reality with while navigating the everyday world was when I understood this is one of the greatest works of literature in history of the English language

The Theft, Harm, and Presidential Grift of Privatizing the National Weather Serviceย  Our investment in National Weather Service is repaid many times over in economic benefit.

"The country has invested in, and innovated through, this scientific public service for over a century, not for selling it to the highest bidder, but for the common good. Dismantling NOAA and the National Weather Service is a presidential grift that we must oppose."

I am awestruck, truly. Is it asking too much to schedule these during the day though? Some of us need decidedly more beauty sleep than others.

These are war crimes carried out by Russia. It shouldnโ€™t be difficult for anyone to say who the aggressor is in this war. And a President of the United States should see things firsthand. Skip a round of golf and visit Ukraine!

Musk calls Sen. Kelly a 'traitor' over trip to Ukraine, Kelly hits back Elon Musk called Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly a "traitor" in a post on X after Kelly posted that he had visited Ukraine over the weekend.

Defending freedom is a basic tenet of what makes America great and keeps us safe. If Elon doesn't understand that, maybe he should leave it to those of us who do.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

The coolest thing Iโ€™ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025.

This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

SpaceX rocket explodes, causing some flight delays.

Elmo shits in our skies and nothing stops him.

It is a total waste of tax dollars, shut it down.

Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

โ€œIn Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.โ€

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.

If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.

If you're under 30, the number is 100%.

This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.
