The owner of this business is a old, wonderful friend & a former employer of mine, so please, I need all of my Pacific Northwest followers keeping an eye out for this stuff, especially if you run in nerd circles, so that his dream business, built via decades of grinding, can keep running.
KIRO 7 ran an article and two TV pieces on the theft of a box truck full of arcade PCBs, artwork, and machines from my workplace yesterday. If anyone in the Seattle area sees someone offloading a ton of CPS2/NAOMI/Neo Geo PCBs, stuff of that nature, please reach out.

This is your reminder that Pete was mayor when two historic Black firsts took their positions (fire chief, police chief) and both had resigned under pressure from racists before the end of his tenure. Pete did nothing to protect them. He’s been shit for a very long time!

I tried to explain this to my students by saying “Imagine somebody from Vanderpump Rules becomes president in 20 years” and they all laughed and then the laughter slowly died and they all got real quiet.
yes, and: there is an entire generation of voters out there that don't know what politics is like without Donald Trump
When I chose to study politics for a living I had no idea that politics would get this dumb.

The definition of audacity: ICE asking WA tribes to host detention centers.

They got a very polite “fuck off.”

Of all the MFers I would prefer to never have to see, think, or hear about ever again, this MFer is definitely in the top 20 and on any day he opens his mouth, top 5.
People are literally being kidnapped and imprisoned without due process because of their identity.

They are being abused, neglected, disenfranchised, illegal renditioned, and even killed because of their identity.

What a ridiculous man.

Some of the best writing advice I ever heard was from Joe Lansdale — Write like everyone is dead.

You live for you. Not them.
You write for you. Not them.

This is today!

I'll be giving a presentation on Latin American folklore, legend and myth. I'll discuss some of the stories that went into making Lotería and then we'll chat about all things.

Thank you, The Whispering Shelf, for hosting me.

Looking forward to see you!

I think there could be a non-zero chance that the Donald actually killed someone and the evidence is in those files. Because as bad as the releases have been already, what's in the files has to be worse.

Theres actually an important convo to be had re: the difference between 5 & 15yo victims of predation, how society treats them, etc. but the ppl most eager to have that talk tend to be interested in the concept of “acceptability” & excusing predation rather than preventing it or helping anyone

Raskin: "The DOJ hasn't released any of these emails that mention Trump's name & identify his role in all these activities. Those came from the Epstein estate. So this is a demonstration the govt is deliberately withholding the info everybody is actually looking for & could be damaging to Trump"
