Saga of Old City, by Gary Gygax. As a child trapped inside with asthma and allergies, it told a story of a person that came from nothing to become someone.

Severance would've never been made if one guy controlled all of Hollywood.

That's just one reason why we have to put a stop to the Warner Brothers-Paramount merger.

The President and his Administration have already failed twice in court trying to intimidate me, and he's still not letting up. Just more proof that he'll do anything it takes to silence those of us willing to call him out. I'm not backing down — ever.

I've seen a lot of references online to a "J. Edgar Boozer" and although I'm not saying anyone in particular deserves that appellation, I do think it would be the perfect name for someone serving as head of the Federal Bureau of Intoxication, if there were such a thing, which I'm not saying there is

I think the top character trait we need in future leaders is humility. Everything else we value flows from that

Starbucks are union busters who want to send jobs to a right-wing state. Ultimately we in Seattle and WA more broadly need to look at how to grow other jobs and not keep depending on a few large, unreliable employers led by wingnuts.

Trump and Republicans are suddenly realizing that if they lose the House in November, Trump’s presidency is effectively over, and they know that this is likely to happen. Trump is panicking. We need to make this outcome a reality.

As some Sick Puppies once said, "Don't bring a knife to a gun fight - you'll lose!"

Republicans are bringing up past Democratic statements decrying gerrymandering, as though we weren’t aware of this.

Of course we are. We tried making the argument in good faith. Y’all didn’t listen.

We’re supposed to not fight back now?

Nah, doesn’t work like that.

Trump started a war. Working families get the bill. And Stephen Miller gets a $70 billion blank check for ICE??

It makes no sense. I will vote NO on the Republicans' garbage budget.

Anyone else watching the CA gubernatorial debate? Xavier Becerra is doing really well.

There's little more beautiful than this majestic lady. Thank you for sharing!

If only TFG had been educated on consequences before he was elected by a plurality of votes and was entrusted with a superpower.

We are the stupidest intelligent species in the universe.

Thank you, Senator.

What's the next step? There's no chance of reasonability or a sensible outcome, so what are the contingencies for which you've prepared?

I just voted for the FIFTH time to end the war in Iran.

Gas prices are still surging, this conflict threatens to plunge us into a global economic crisis, and America is not any safer.

Yet Republicans refuse to put a check on this out-of-control President.

Whitby in Spring 2026 A brief update this time just to note I’m headed back to Whitby for the first time since 2022! Do ensure you’re following my socials as I pinball around the venerable home of UK Goth.

Grieves on the line? Yep the UK train network is bracing itself for a mass exodus of #Goths to #Whitby this weekend! Check out my thoughts on the #blog right now...

Hopefully UNSECNAV Hung Cao learned ethics during his ~25 years in service and is able to refuse untenable orders.

Trump is reportedly considering an Iran deal that includes:

- releasing billions (up to 20B) to Iran

- a sunset provision on enrichment (5-15 years)

- potentially not securing the highly enriched uranium

- nothing on Iran’s ballistic missiles

It’s the JCPOA but worse

This, combined with Lindsey Graham posting about a great call he had with POTUS about Iran five hours ago makes me really nervous.

Serious envy. I didn't spend enough time in Italy to learn more than how to manage the autostrada. 😂 My pasta efforts have largely been to make pierogi, but my best effort so far has been...chewy.

This is your periodic reminder that Democrats introduced legislation in 2021 to ban gerrymandering nationwide and every republican voted against it except two who were absent.

She gives great verve. Watching her build the emulsion with the flour, eggs, and oil was very enlightening.

Men protect men, lest their power be lost. Even Swalwell stepped down only when the scales of influence in Congress balanced.

I'm good with a new system, how about you?

Sick.

A detailed, symbolic painting inspired by the movie "Pulp Fiction," featuring Samuel L. Jackson's character depicted as a Jesus-like figure with a glowing halo and radiant hands, blessing a sick man lying in a hospital bed. Surrounding them are other characters from the film—John Travolta and Uma Thurman—both praying, and a nurse and another man watching solemnly. Above, three cherubic angels with the faces of other "Pulp Fiction" characters float in the sky. The background includes iconic American symbols such as the U.S. Capitol, the Statue of Liberty, an American flag, flying bald eagles, military jets, and fireworks, blending religious imagery with patriotic and cinematic elements.

This is great! 😂
