Dan Simmons, noted racist, has died. He wrote Hyperion, which contained a good short story and then a lot of other words, which many of us read anyway because it was the Nineties and Waldenbooks had a limited science fiction section.
I could live without it for now. Does Cinny have text channels? When I am on a call I like being able to share stuff in chat.
No screen sharing. Looking for something but so far nothing has the same features.
1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.
Hundreds of kids are still detained.
We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵
This administration is cooked. Literally no one is scared of them.
“Miss, do you agree with the sign?”
“Absolutely not. My great niece was 4 months pregnant and her fetus had no skull. And because of men involving themselves in women’s bodies she was forced to deliver the fetus… there’s a reason God created medicine.”🔥

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.
Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.
Let me tell you about the other Epstein files the Trump administration is STILL HIDING — records that aren’t affected by the bill Congress passed today.
Listen Kaine, Hassan, King, Cortez-Masto, Durbin, Shaheen, Rosen, and Fetterman. You're NOT gonna take away my 2025 election joy. We voted in that election for folks to FIGHT for us. That doesn't include YOU.
YOU are what we voted AGAINST last Tuesday. So I'm gonna hang on to that.
Well it happened again! 🤣 Damn
…and it immediately came back 🤣
You have to be patient with Apple TV’s servers; they have limited experience with people actually watching the good shows they put on. (Yes, PLURIBUS is great.)
Fuck. Yes. Dude.
@hankgreen.bsky.social thank you for your video! It really helped me get some people in my sphere to turn up & it helped many others I am sure.
Great seeing Mamdani win, lots of other major wins & all blue here in GA! The PSC has been all red for 30 years until tonight and another seat is up for grabs next year. They set energy rates for 155 out of 159 counties in the state & manage large energy infrastructure projects, among other things.
🌊🌊🌊 in #Georgia tonight! #VOTE in every election! #GAPol #Politics #Election #BlueWave #Georgia #PSC
If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.
Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net
“Boring and empty” space doesn’t actually exist in Starfield anyways. It’s just a 64 km² cell like on planets and they couldn’t make that interesting.
Exactly. Star Wars Outlaws was a pretty mediocre SW game but space stuff was way more fun than Starfield despite some of the same technical limitations.

Comparison of 2025 and 2026 health policies in the Georgia marketplace
Reddit thread that reads “Hey everyone. I'm a medical insurance broker in Georgia and I wanted to give this subreddit a heads up about the anticipated rate increases for next year's individual market policies. I quoted 12/2025 and 1/2026 as a 4 person young family (late 30's with two young kids) making $150K. The combination of carrier premium increases paired with reduction/removal of subsidy assistance will cripple household budgets and I fear many will go without desperately needed coverage. Now is the time to reach out to your representatives and raise hell before the open enrollment period begins 11/1. You can check it out for yourself on the Georgia Access website - https://enroll.georgiaaccess.gov/hix/ and bring receipts if you’re reaching out to legislators.”

Some comics were transparent about their willingness to ignore their moral convictions in order to play at the festival. “So what, they have slaves?” asked Tim Dillon in a podcast segment that led to his firing from the festival. “They’re paying me enough money to look the other way.” Pete Davidson offered a similar take, acknowledging in a chat with Von that people have asked him why, given his father’s death on 9/11, he would take a paycheck from the Saudi government. He did not address the criticism directly, but he did suggest he was happy to forget 9/11 for the right price: “I just know I get the routing, and then I see the number, and I go, ‘I’ll go.’”

Let’s get Michaela to post her first post on Bluesky!
I love that uppercut move she makes with the reaper crest when you attack while running. I try to work it into my traversal just for style points.
lrt: I remember when I was still going to church back in 2015. I was with a group & the question was asked, "What are some things happening in the world that you're concerned with?" I was like, "There's this thing called GamerGate. Men are being really horrible to women in game dev/journalism."
