I’m reading #PatRobertson ‘s 1991 “The New World Order” (as research for my next book).
Since I have to endure it, here is a thread of the best of the worst for you to enjoy.
CW: Early ‘90s evangelical racism & supremacy, xenophobia, prob homo/transphobia

Reminder: In Virginia, you can register to vote on Election Day through same-day voter registration. This lets you register in person and cast a provisional ballot if you missed the regular registration deadline. Your vote will be counted once eligibility is confirmed, so don’t sit this one out!

It is Chicken Makin’ Week.
Holidays Bazaar Season starts this weekend, and this year it’s even more important to provide some emotional support to people.

Resistance is… itchy.
Stay safe out there today, everyone. Keep your wits about you and don’t let anyone goad you into anything.

May not be able to attend protests (I have too many people that need me to not go to jail), but this is my resistance.
Thanks, Ken at Skin City, Tigard!

I wish Charlie Kirk a speedy (but pain-filled) recovery (with medication that only partially takes effect)…

Trying to decide if I will refuse to take money from cops or ICE agents at my upcoming craft fair events, or take their money and donate 100% of it to refugee and immigration lawyers and charities.

If anyone is interested about safety in Portland, I live in the Metro area and have been through Downtown many times this weekend for Rose City ComicCon.
The ONLY time I have felt unsafe was when I was walking down a flight of steep and slippery stairs to the light rail station.

When the bag you came with is, technically, big enough to hold everything, but the 1” strap is digging into your shoulder… what can you do but buy a bigger, more comfortable bag?

The first grader is watching his YouTube next to me as I rewatch “A Skeptic’s Guide to American History” on Prime’s Great Courses add on. Given the Smithsonian’s new management, thought it apropos.
Hopefully, he’s getting a little of it. Always ask questions, little guy. Raising the iconoclasts!

AFAIK, members of the class are still being determined for this case, so if you think you are one of the affected authors, you should send your contact info to the Plaintiffs' legal team if you would also like to financially ruin the entire AI industry:

Your closed captioning never fails to make me laugh. And this isn’t even the worst offender, just the one I stopped on when Smalls was going on about how, when he’s older, he’ll make Roblox safe for kids.

Mike Nelson, @kevinwmurphy.bsky.social, and @billcorbett.bsky.social, thank you so much for watching “The Amazing Bulk” as many times as you did.
@genericblues.bsky.social and I have not laughed that hard in a long time, and given *gestures at the world around us*, we desperately needed a laugh.

Amazingly, reaction times using screens while driving are worse than being drunk or high—no wonder 90 percent of drivers hate using touchscreens in cars.
Finally the auto industry is coming to its senses. Real buttons are sooooooo back baby!
