There's a cool dad at the park with a cool beard and sunglasses and a custom leather hip pouch, presumably full of dad supplies

Having finished DS9 ages ago, I'm watching TNG.

This show is much less daddish, but Data declaring he is ready to be a parent provokes the Picard double face palm

This week's book is CHAOS. Was Charles Manson a police informant? A CIA asset targeted to discredit the counterculture?

We'll never know for sure, but this is one hell of ride down the rabbit hole

"Is James Carville the Dave Filoni of Democratic Thirdwayism?" the greatest thread in the history of Bluesky locked after 1356 replies
The main problem with the 'Democrats just need to moderate to win' thesis is that a lot of Glup Shitto moderates no one remembers or cares about have also lost.

please do not vote for Gavin Newsom, even under circumstances of extreme distress

yeah i'll vote for gavin newsom under extreme circumstances. like say we're on a life raft and need to decide who to eat first. or our plane crashes in the andes and we're figuring out who to barbecue for dinner. or if we're wagon-bound and stranded in a frozen pass over the sierra nevada mountains,

I FOUND THE THING I WAS MISSING!!! (a travel pillow)

It was in a crate at the back of the closet under a crate of clothes that don't fit, along with my winter hat.

I look forward to forgetting where they are in the near future.
I love cleaning up, finding a thing, thinking "oh, this will be useful soon. I'll put it somewhere special."

and fucking forgetting where somewhere special is.

A few months ago, ICE hired me

I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable

And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

My latest for Slate
You’ve Heard About Who ICE Is Recruiting. The Truth Is Far Worse. I’m the Proof.
What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We're all finding out.
