Right wingers 4 years ago were freaking out that they were gonna be censored by big tech, and now that big tech is actually censoring people they’re celebrating it cause the censorship is aimed at people they don’t like.

Mike's book "Jewish Space Lasers" explained the centuries-long history of how Marjorie Taylor Greene came to blame wildfires on fictional direct energy weapons instead of climate change.
Yesterday, Mike's house burned down from climate-induced wildfires.
Please buy his remarkable book.

We lost our house in the Eaton Fire. We're safe, but the level of devastation is impossible to convey. I won't be able to work for a while, so if you want to support us, I'd appreciate a Patreon subscription or buying one of my books. It will help.

Democratic Party under Biden passed the biggest climate change fighting package in US history.
Republican Party under Trump lies about climate change and aims to increase pollution.
The Green Party says there's no relevant difference between those two and it's important to work against the former.

🥳 It's here! The slightly unhinged book that ended up twice as long as planned but somehow still got finished, the charmingly messy book that made these last few months not only survivable but joyful. 🎄
I hope it brings a much-needed smile or laugh to you, too!

oh this is genuinely one of my favourite topics of conversation, no one knows how eels fuck, it's one of the funniest things I've ever come across, absolutely adore the idea of a scientist going home in the evening and telling their spouse "nah, still wouldn't fuck in front of us :("
Shared this with a marine biologist friend and apparently this is a legitimate mystery?

NYT Fact Check: Starfleet, an organization that purports to champion the values of diversity and inclusion, constantly wars with the Borg, the most inclusive organization in the galaxy. Is this disqualifying hypocrisy? Maureen Dowd says yes.

NYT FACT CHECK: There’s no evidence to support this claim. The reality of consciousness has never been proved by philosophers, and therefore the other minds problem is only the first of the logical abysses barring us from any true description of desire

FACT CHECK: It is not “a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.” We spoke with Mr. Richard Hetherington-Jones of Thelfall Manor, Yorkshire, who has £2000 per annum and does not wish to be wed at this time.
FACT CHECK: Hamlet discussed the “slings and arrows of outrageous Fortune” however we have no records of a Dane named Fortune involved in the arms trade.

It is critical that, if you are a US citizen, you check your voter registration every so often. I check mine every two weeks in the lead-up to an election, because the GOP is very sneaky about removing people with little fanfare.
Go here: vote.gov/register/ to check.
I'm good. For now.
