I'm not actually much of a wine person—I would literally have to gift away all the reds—but I admit to being sorely temped by this Star Trek Wines Advent calendar.

WE JUST GAVE YOU A VICTORY. People stood up all across the country and voted blue, clearly asking the Democrats in power to keep fighting for them—and were betrayed less than a week later. You already have the audacity to talk about next November? How dare you?
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

"Four Questions With Something Like God" was my only story published this year. It's interactive fiction about what comes After, and I'd love more people to read it. I'm rather proud of this one.
Apologies in advance—I will be reposting.

Some actual great news in the midst of ... everything else.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court DENIES former county clerk Kim Davis's request for the justices to take up her longshot bid to overturn 2015's Obergefell v. Hodges marriage equality decision. No justice even writes about the request.

Okay, officially taking a break from Bluesky tonight before I pass out from rage, but for the record ...
No Kings includes the motherfuckers who serve them. And until proven otherwise, I'm counting every Democratic senator in that group—but especially this one.
The gall. The fucking gall.

Agree.
Sen Hassan, asked what will happen if Republicans don't carry out the deal, "Well, shame on them."
This is not what people were mobilizing for on Oct 18.

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.
If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.
Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

Fetterman (2028)

Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

Listen, I know this isn't the point of this post, but if you'd shown me this picture and asked me what the image prompt was? I'd have probably gone with "Take Elizabeth Bennet out of Pride and Prejudice (2005) and put her into the future, but also ... yeah, make her a serial killer."
I know people think Musk only bought Twitter to help the rise of fascism.
While that’s important, I still think it’s secondary to his primary goal, which was to own the place where his fans praise him.
With AI, Musk’s use of the platform for love and validation is only getting more transparent.

SCOTUS has granted a stay in Trump v. Orr, the trans passport case, meaning that the government will be able to once again deny gender marker changes to trans passport applicants.
This is a terrible decision with horrifying consequences for trans folks.

To put this in scale, Elon Musk's salary from Tesla alone could fund the SNAP program for the entire country into 2034.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk scored a resounding victory on Thursday as shareholders approved a pay package of as much as $878 billion over the next decade, endorsing his vision of morphing the EV maker into an AI and robotics juggernaut.
