  Them: Knit Cthulhu isn't real and can't hurt you. Reality: Knit Cthulhu won honorable mention and is ready to get married.

  Does anyone else think that Donald Trump sounds like an AI? His statements are completely disconnected from reality or any truth value. He is sycophantic to those listeners predisposed to like him. He was trained on poorly researched and sourced garbage and regurgitates it as fact. Everything he's involved with is an assault on human dignity.

  If black people don't have rights; you don't have rights. If Muslims don't have rights, you don't have rights. If transgender people don't have rights, you don't have rights. If women don't have rights, you don't have rights. If you allow anybody's rights to be compromised then you are putting your own rights in question.

  I simply cannot take JD Vance' religious pretentions seriously. A convert to a famously hierarchical religion who refuses to acknowledge it's supreme authority simply cannot be taken seriously. I suspect it's a performance to impress his real patron; whose religious aspirations involve declaring Greta Thunberg the antichrist.

  Your regular reminder that DJT is not bound by common sense. Last I heard, drilling on a sovereign nations territory without asking permission first is an act of aggression. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/aug/08/greenland-iwarning-trump-linked-oil-firm-prepares-drill

  Every toot I send is handcrafted by me. It's organic, locally sourced artisanal incoherence. I hope you like it.

  Spending the morning attempting to scroll; in company of a cat who is purring and snuggling and occasionally throwing himself between my eyes and the phone. Like a slightly peeved fur-covered pop-up advertisement for the health benefits of cat hair.

  One of my all time faves from the American literary canon is Ambrose Bierce. The devil's dictionary was basically shitposting for the railroad era. And then he disappeared in Mexico, setting an aspirational standard for gringos everywhere.

  Trying to decide if the vast spreading sense of despair is something I should try to medicate or if it is a rational response to events and should be heeded as such.

  The FDA wouldn't straight up lie to help a campaign donor manage a PR crisis; would they? 🤔

  Occasionally I think about how Bush vs. Gore could have gone the other way and we might have had a chance to avert global warming and fulfill the "promise of America". And then I remember that Tipper Gore (who would have been first lady in that scenario) was the driving force behind the moral panic about cuss words on rap records.

  There are words to describe a government official who is communicating with foreign extremist groups and using their influence within the government to move policy in favor of their foreign collaborators. (Prompted by a story about Stephen Miller)

  If you think the shenanigans around Mitch McConnell are wild; they will be as nothing compared to the coverup when they try to pretend he's alive so his death doesn't screw up the midterms for them.

  Lindsey Graham is dead. He spent his life in the closet and made a habit of living a lie. What a waste.

  In mountaineering there is a concept called "self-arrest" which is a set of techniques you can use to stop your self if you have started sliding towards the abyss. This is a post about American politics.

  That Patriot Front demonstration is disgusting and shameful yes. But it is almost laughably small. #nokings pulls numbers like that in places like Bakersfield. The fascists are weak enough to be destroyed by organized resistance. That's why they rely on violence.

  So our President got up on stage yesterday and gave a speech that was intended to kick off a red scare, Labeling anyone who isn't personally loyal to him a commie domestic terrorist that his security goons can grab. We're supposed to be terrified and cowed; but mostly I'm disgusted and bored with this fool and can't wait for him to die.

  #eugene #oregon Federal officials complied with a court order and have removed the fence around the plaza of the old federal building. They have also stepped up ICE detainments and are preparing to snatch effective protestors.

  The thing Bezos should be really worried about is not that someone fabricated a quote where he said Data Centers should have priority access to clean water over humans. It's the part where so many people found it plausible that he said it.

  The high school near me went on lockdown this morning. Apparently because some boys posted gun pics. And apparently there was a swatting incident over by campus earlier this week that I had not heard of. That's life in America these days.

  It pleases my sense of justice that the inevitable outcome of Elon Musk's french legal troubles is that much like Donald Rumsfeld he will live out his life unable to enjoy the many cultural and gustatory delights afforded by that country due to an outstanding arrest warrant.

  You couldn't do a modern X files remake because Mulder would be doing coke with the director and Scully would have been fired for being competent, careful, and a woman.

  I seem to remember that Trump doesn't like drunkards because his older brother died of alcohol poisoning. An FBI director who is running around handing out personalized bottles of Bourbon emblazoned with his name and the FBI shield seems like he would be on thin ice. I bet you Tbone reminds him that he could be fired on every phone call and chat.

  S&P 500 "relaxing the rules on profitability for large-cap stocks" is your sign to get out of the equities market before it tanks. The finance-bros have a huge pile of liability that they would like retail investors to own. Your 401K will be coerced into buying large but unprofitable companies so that the Epstein class can get their payday. https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/sp-dow-jones-indices-considers-new-index-rules-mega-ipos-loom-2026-04-30/

  I thought Hantavirus was mostly found in dry desert environments where rodent leavings got aerosolized. A cruise ship seems an odd place for it.
