This is a thread of the books I've read starting in October of 2025. Will start a new one in Jan 2026.
good news for my brain that putting holds on books at the library is basically the same as online shopping. Almost through 100 this year, very pleased.
What if they made a 6:00 a.m. alarm that didn't feel like getting punched in the face when it went off

Fucking huge. If you know anyone involved in this it's a long time coming.
BREAKING: We won!

Today the 3rd Circuit Court ordered the @post-gazette.com to restore our contract it illegally tore up 5 years ago. That’s our health care, PTO, right to a 40-hr. work week, short-term disability and so much more we’ve struck for 3+ years.

I think if I could watch Origami Angel play all of Somewhere City straight through I would be cured

Going to grab lunch at Dad's Dog and Burger today around or shortly before noon. If we've interacted on here in basically any way before and you want to say hi I would be happy to meet an internet friend.

This was sick. If you want someone for your pickup game or need a body for your open gym, please let me know
Decided to forgo watching volleyball tonight to play instead. Pretty excited.

This morning, in Broadview, 14 suburban women were arrested during an act of civil disobedience calling for an end to ICE/CBP’s kidnappings throughout the Chicago area.

“We want to encourage other people who feel strongly about ICE’s actions to step off the sidelines and take our cities back.”

The mothers sat in a circle on Beach Street on Friday to “demand an end” to the immigration raids that have swept through the Chicago area since the Trump administration launched “Operation Midway Bli...

I'm tired of the Mueller She Wrote theories of dem leadership. Just because Schumer doesn't believe the GOP will take this doesn't excuse the very explicit and obvious negative space that has been in these negotiations. Our largest metros are under constant terror and he's only asking for ACA.

the entire premise that data center buildout is not going to be useful if LLMs become less of a dominant market force is also premised on the idea that GPU-based workloads aren't going to be the future of computing, which essentially is an argument that detailed simulations are bunk, which is WILD

Picked up a breakfast sandwich at my usual spot today and told the person who handed it to me to have a good day but then they said to me have a good week and I feel like I've been outplayed

Targeting an audience of like two total people with a joke about how it's unsurprising that Sandwich Guy's projectile didn't explode given the US's track record of manufacturing torpedoes

Might have to get a delicious Spak hoagie to celebrate this day of the sandwich

straight-up jury nullification. this guy did it, confessed to it, and the jury instructions explicitly said that if he did it intentionally, it was assault.

Heroes all WOOOOO sandwich hero is freee
🚨🚨🚨 The jury has reached a verdict. Sean Dunn, aka the DC Sandwich Guy, has been found NOT GUILTY of assault.

Wild story about a woman impersonating Diane Duane over the course of several years.
...Now, though, I'm wondering whether or not that con's "Diane Duane" was the fake one who was running around for some years pretending to be me (until the fans caught her and she went to jail for multiple frauds). (Details here: www.dianeduane.com/past-news-it...)

Not talking to the NYT keeps people safe.
heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

fondly recalling the election night a couple years ago when a candidate for local magistrate tried to fight me on the street because i called him a piece of shit for running as a republican.

I told myself I wouldn't get baited by the Avatar/MTG crossover but they made a zutara card and unfortunately my old forum flame wars are coming back to me

I'm getting reports that this is false and Dick Cheney actually killed himself rather than fail No Nut November.
Dick Cheney killed himself rather than live to see a Muslim man be elected mayor of NYC, a real true believer
