maybe one of craziest stories I've read in what is a time filled with insane stories.

I'm so ridiculously excited for this. Can it be jan. 1st yet?

Not a book, but @dimension20.bsky.social latest actual play show ‘Cloudward Ho’ is a really good play in Utopia.

Book wise definitely a bunch LeGuin, and ‘A Half Built Garden’ by Ruthanna Emrys

Also maybe a nod considering the Omelas themes throughout the season?

"The cyclists arrive at sunrise, rolling through Chicago’s Latino neighborhoods and stopping at tamale carts, elote stands & candy stalls. They buy out every last item — every tamale, every corn cob, every bundle of sweets. Then they load up the food and deliver it to shelters and families in need."

This video is so insane I love it.

@brennanleemulligan.bsky.social Is Oda in Cloudward Ho in any way a nod to Ursula K LeGuin’s Odo/ Odonians?

Had a daydream that there was a newspaper who's front page said "Devil Eagerly Awaiting ICE Agents in Hell" Lucifer himself admits hell had gotten "quite ho hum to be honest," but with this coming influx of "Gastapo, Pedophiles, and garden variety fascists" there is "so much to plan."

I swear I saw him at a Level 1 iO showcase.

The paradox of protection A fast…strong…successful…woman? MUST BE A WITCH!!!!!!!!!

Joe Pera Talks with You. One of the most unique and special shows ever made. Joe is a treasure.

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

Just as “I was just following orders” didn’t cut it at Nuremberg, “they offered a $50,000 signing bonus” will not cut it at the pearly gates.

Fascism plain and simple.

Been waiting for you to say this all day like that “say the line Bart” meme… but positive

NEW: Paul Newby, a born-again Christian, has turned his perch atop North Carolina’s Supreme Court into an instrument of political power.

People being blunt that Trump seemed confused and said his dementia test was a hard IQ test.

We are in a timeline in which People Magazine is publishing legit hard-hitting news headlines while CBS and CNN publicly humiliate themselves.

I don’t like this timeline. But I’m loving People Magazine right now.

As ICE continues to terrorize our communities, kidnapping our neighbors, 9 cyclists came together this morning at 6am to buyout 5 vendors and donate the food to a local shelter. They went home safe, hungry ppl were fed, this is #BikeChi ✊🏽

Oak Park resident Scott Sakiyama reports feds pointed weapons at him across from an elementary school today. They then arrested him and took him to Broadview. While in custody, he saw agents texting in a group chat called "Chiraq Team 2."
