Oh, and I'm sure there are much more luminous people than me in the book as well, if you need a better selling point. ;)

I have a vested interest in James' book selling well, because ya boy was interviewed for it! Transformers fans, click through to his original post and like it to show your interest. He's only going to make one print run for now, and he wants to judge the print count accordingly.

This doesn't surprise me at all, which is sad.

Me neither. Glad I wasn't the only one.

Read the entire thread.

It's always about power or money with these assholes. The cruelty is either the point or a side benefit for them to enjoy.

A screenshot of a Tweet from Steak 'n Shake going full dash and promoting Tesla and beef tallow because RFK Jr. and MAGA and for God's sake just eat somewhere not fascist.

Sigh....

Mine hasn't been plugged in for years. Time to take a hammer to it.

Basically the same concept as the Shadow government in the UK

A good idea too!

Screenshot reads: .There is a rumor that the unelected billionaire currently running our government and pretending to be president has purchased ads during tonight's Super Bowl that lie about how horrible USAID was and why it needed to be eliminated. If this rumor comes to pass, DON'T BELIEVE THE LIES. USAID not only has helped millions of people worldwide but also millions of people in the United States. Who bought food from US farmers to give to needy people? USAID did. And now those farmers will go without that needed income. Who provided jobs to thousands of Americans to handle the work of purchasing and distribution? USAID did. And now they're out of their jobs. Who benefits from this? Elon and the billionaires. They're they ones who are taking jobs away and profitting. Not USAID. Not immigrants. The billionaire class which are truly the ones we should be fighting.

Screenshot reads: If Elon has made these commercial purchases, please, don't believe the lies and help those you know see through the falsehoods. He has made a mockery of our democracy, and he has taken over so many things. Fight back. Believe the truth. Stand up to lies and bullying. Stand up to the billionaires.

Too long for a post, read the screenshots or the ALT text.

I'm so sorry, Rob. That's a lot to deal with. I'm here if you need an ear.

Great. Fucking great.

Thanks, DMFs.

How to (and why you should) make a personal website Over the last couple of weeks, we’ve seen Meta push anti-LGBQT “moderation” policies and TikTok shut down after being banned by the US government — further confirmation that…

Expanded on all this in a big blog post! Enjoy! gregpak.com/how-and-why-...

I assume you just need time for it to warm up so you can cover the transports as they leave Hoth.

It kinda feels like tomorrow is the first day of school, except it's Hell.

A phone lock screen made to look like the targeting computer of an X-Wing from the movie "Star Wars", with "screens" of readouts, the exhaust port of the Death Star, and how close the X-Wing is to the port. This is from Phil's current phone, where the Dexcom G7 app for continuous glucose sensor and Omnipod app for insulin pod control have continuous notifications on the screen that are always superimposed on top of the wallpaper, wrecking the effect.

But now that I have my diabetes glucose sensor and insulin pod controlling apps on my phone, it's not been worth my effort to make it look nice, cause, well, it won't.

A phone lock screen made to look like the targeting computer of an X-Wing from the movie "Star Wars", with "screens" of readouts, the exhaust port of the Death Star, and how close the X-Wing is to the port. The phone date and time is perfectly enclosed by one of the pseudo screens near the top of the picture.

This is what it looked like on my old phone. So nice and perfectly enclosed.

Reminder -- if you follow POTUS, VP, or White House on any social media, unfollow them by tomorrow morning so you don't get blasted by fake news.

I've had this ever since attending the Blue Carpet World Premiere of "The Rise of Skywalker" over five years ago. It was formatted for the phone I had then, where the clock fit perfectly in the yellow outline. Still using it, but a different phone and changes to the OS have made the clock not fit.

First of all, Donald Trump is not president right now. He's a private citizen. He does not have access to presidential powers. He does not have the ability to do any of that. Please understand that TikTok's decision to name Trump in the notification is a choice. They are signaling that they have agreed to privately collaborate with Donald Trump and the Trump administration. For all of those concerns that people were saying that TikTok is gonna be used as a propaganda tool by the Chinese, understand they're using it as a propaganda tool for the right. Now, I want you all to put all the pieces together because what this effectively means is that every mass social media platform in the United States has been taken over by the right wing, with the exception of Blue Sky (but Blue Sky is still very small, relatively).

"Get in loser, we're posting lock screens."

Almost 2025.

Buckle up.

Go into accessibility settings and turn this on.

So!

Every year the podcast I'm on does a toy donation drive we call #elfonashelfwarmer - sick of seeing that stack of Bumblebees? I guarantee you there are kids that will not get anything otherwise who would be thrilled with them. Buy those suckers and stick them in a donation box.

More toys added to the #elfonashelfwarmer tree!

To mark "Trump will declare a national emergency for mass deportations" day: here is the initial spreadsheet of our crowd-sourced *local* immigration advocacy/support organizations.

Please share widely, put to good use, and keep letting me know about more organizations folks can connect with.

'Airplane!' filmmaker Jim Abrahams, a Shorewood High School alum, has died Abrahams and his Shorewood buddies Jerry and David Zucker created "Airplane!" and the "Naked Gun" films.

Rest in peace to a true comedy legend.
