It’s been made abundantly clear to me over the past 24 hours that I will never be radical enough for some of my far left friends. Unlike them, I will not condone, justify, or excuse in any way the assassination even of someone whom I vehemently disagreed with and personally disliked.

I guess John McCain may finally be getting his wish (posthumously, of course).

Like so many on here, I’m really enjoying the sh*t show that is the Trump-Musk breakup. Will it make the really horrible things this administration is doing less horrible? Maybe (probably) not. But it’s oh so DELICIOUS.

Put aside the lies and the open defiance of the Supreme Court, as well as the cruelty, and ask yourself: who talks like this? This is the *official* account of the *White House* - is it being run by a six year old?

It's an ironic PS to today's amazing Jeffrey Goldberg story that the editor-in-chief of the Atlantic is more responsible with US national security information than any of the principals of the Trump national-security team www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

So now that America is imprisoning and/or deporting immigrants who overstayed visas and married Americans, is it maybe time for Melania to finally have that long promised press conference where she explains the exact nature of her arrival in the United States?

Last fun sci-fi that I read: Fuzzy Nation by John Scalzi. Entertaining and fast paced, with bonus furry, adorable creatures. Also features a patented smart-mouthed (and smart) @scalzi.com protagonist. Also terrific: Starter Villain and The Kaiju Preservation Society.

The most recent terrific fantasy (really more magical realism) that I read: The Lost Bookshop by Evie Woods. 1920s London and Paris, modern day Dublin, time jumps, romance, and a mysterious bookshop you can’t find but might - if you’re lucky - find you.

This probably also makes me an unwelcome centrist outlier on Bluesky. 😏
I’m sometimes tempted to move back to my home state of Texas. There, even moderate Dems like me are welcomed by other Dems. Among the far-left Democrats in Taos, New Mexico, where I live now, I’m an unwelcome centrist outlier. Corporate shill, DINO - you name it, I’ve been called it. 🤷🏼
