This is your occasional reminder that, if you like Neil Gaiman's stuff, but can't bring yourself to like it anymore for justifiable reasons, Tanith Lee is the author he is credibly accused of extensively cribbing from, and her work is on Audible, and AMAZING.

I can't wait until the United States cleanses itself of all the ugly traces of Donald Trump. Take his name off buildings. Remove all the tacky gold bric-a-brac from the White House walls. Bulldoze his vulgar ballroom. Restore MLK, Jr Day and Juneteenth at parks. #Fumigate
Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks.
They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.

No one “deserves” to starve or be denied healthcare.
The richest country in the world can easily provide for all, and people shouldn’t have to prove they matter to be fed, housed & cared for.
It’s past time for a universal basic income, universal healthcare, affordable housing & food.

Today marks 6 years since we decided to stay indoors, minimize contact with other people, and stay alive, rather than risk a winter forecast to be contagiously deadly.
That turned out to be an important and life-changing decision.

Joke of the day from Moscow: Russia tried to unveil its first humanoid AI robot, Aidol. Key word: tried. The robot collapsed during its debut, forcing organizers to cut the presentation short. Their rushed attempt to lift the prop only made things worse.

judge in Chicago took the rare step Tuesday of ordering a senior U.S. Border Patrol official to brief her every night, an unprecedented bid to impose real-time oversight on the government’s immigration crackdown in the city after weeks of tense encounters and tear gas thrown by officers.

The answer is yes. Just like Trump’s Azerbaijan hotel was a money laundering front for the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.
Senate Dems are demanding answers about Trump's White House demolition and whether any of the donors could be engaging in "quid pro quo arrangements."
Sen. Elizabeth Warren and colleagues are requesting a detailed accounting of the donors and specifics about the contracting and approval process.
