This pun caused me actual psychic damage 😖

This guy really aspires to be Caesar

I take a little comfort in knowing how Caesar‘s career ends
I'm sure the 22 million people whose healthcare premiums will triple in six days are delighted by this news, you inhuman fuck.

I think it’s important to remind folks that in Sinatra & Martin’s time, one of the reasons they changed those very Italian names, was Italian immigrants were resented, vilified & treated very poorly

They were not WASPs & therefore, they did not belong in a “perfect America”

Sound familiar?
Dean Martin, born Dino Paul Crocetti, son of Italian immigrant Gaetano Crocetti

Frank Sinatra, son of Italian immigrants Antonino Sinatra and Natalina Garavanta

Merry Christmas to everyone except Stephen Miller and his enablers and handlers

Whose “War on Christmas” again?
For ICE to do this on Christmas Eve—especially as part of an administration that postures as godly—is particularly cruel. trib.al/loxXKOw

This is sickening
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.

Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.

"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.

"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

Today’s cat would like the humans to pay as much attention to her as they are to their board game #CatBreak #BlueSkyCats #CatSky

In this house, we play board games while everybody else is celebrating a holiday.

Traditionally, Arkham Horror.

This is Mystery’s first Christmas in our home, and she very much wants to be the center of attention #CatSky

The latest loss for DOJ, regarding the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center's patients, also brings news that DOJ has started scaling back its requests following its many losses.

Been thinking about how -receiving stolen property- is often framed as a crime – especially if you profit from the stolen property (like a fence)

Everyone who uses LLMs & GenAI are knowingly receiving stolen property and effectively fencing the creations of others, laundering them as their own

There are way too many versions of this guy & this specific line of bullshit apologia in the world, and they are a big reason why we’re in this unrelenting hellscape

And if you’re still following this dude? Please re-examine your poor life choices.
May author JG Fahrety have the day he deserves.

I’ve been thinking about how electroshock therapy was once touted as a cure for mental illness because of the way it rewired the brain

There were justifiable outcries against it

Yet here we are, with an all ages access ECT machine people inflict upon themselves, eagerly, multiple times a day

Rearranged the art in this room (was a guest bedroom, now houses mainly art & kyphi supplies)

Finally had space to hang most of my degrees & certificates, reminding me that, as of 2025, I have been ordained Pagan clergy for 30 years

That’s a lot of solstice rituals! #WitchSky

Ask yourself:

What would these numbers look like if they included the copious numbers of deaths brought about through police, ICE, and DHS activity?
I count 10 cities in 2025 that are on track to have the fewest murders since at least 1970. Newark is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1956 (though only have data through Oct this year) and San Francisco is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1942.

I keep wondering what will be the tipping point to bring us to a moment like the Wellington Rescue - because all the other factors are there #HistorySky #Oberlin #Abolition

Gentle advice:

You don’t have to have a solution for everything

You don’t even need to plan on how you’ll fix it all tomorrow

You just have to get through this moment right now as best as you can
