Scribbler, office rat, madman, coward, survivor of all my fandoms being stolen by fashies, and still mad about Kronstadt.

Mostly here for writing accountability shit.

Fuck the king.

It's profoundly different to cover a U.S. president than state or local officials, and too, much harder to vent publicly if you're female. But if in my reporting days, if anyone from a police sergeant to the mayor of Baltimore told me, "Quiet, piggy," I'd immediately insist he go fuck himself.

Non-zero chance he gets charged, flees to one of his pals in Argentina or Hungary or wherever, claims persecution, and tries to rule from abroad

More likely none of this goes anywhere obv, but if it does, that feels like his play. The most un-clean break possible, and one we are least ready for 🙃

Look, all I’m gonna say on The Current Topic is that moderation needs to be consistent - if you’re gonna drop the hammer for quoting song lyrics and getting pissed about child rapists, yet you let slide accounts that say trans people shouldn’t exist, then yeah, there’s gonna be some questions.

When one of my relatives was in the throes of late-stage Alzheimer’s, her kids & grandkids used large-print nametags to help her remember who they were when they came to visit.

Anyway…

In honor of last night's victory by a progressive, I offer this memory of the greatest big-city mayor in U.S. history, a man of the left who also governed as a socialist. If Mr. Mamdani goes on WNYC this Sunday and reads the funny papers to kids my heart will burst.

Spare a thought for centrist dem consultants this morning.

They just learned their ideal candidate for the Democratic 2028 presidential ticket has passed away.

I remember after 2016 it felt like there was this big shift in legacy media either away/towards the regime. It had a certain ratio to it that felt somewhat near 50:50

Nowadays the ratio doesn’t feel anywhere near that. More like 10:90

Anyway kudos to WIRED and (for some reason) the Financial Times

Last night, Lizzy confessed that she’d never seen any Terminator movies

I thought about sending her the T2 trailer to convince her to watch them with me

Y’all…this shit is hysterical. It’s like a Tropic Thunder parody of a trailer. I can’t show her this, she’ll think I’ve gone insane 🤣

It's official. Food stamp funding has not gone out.

I will not be posting a wishlist right now. I have food in the house. I'm okay.

If you do not have food in your house, please reply with your wishlists. If you have funds, click those links. We'll see if my midlist clout is good for anything.

Shit, I finished a whole chapter in less than a month??? 😳

And a mid-plot climax chapter, no less… Only three more to go and we’re onto Act 3!

I’ve spent a decade on this manuscript, and I’m pretty sure >50% of it’s been written in the last year. Fuckin wild…

🙌💥Momentum!💥🙌

#writesky
First lead-in chapter is done ✅

There are a couple wistful paragraphs about the POV’s state of mind at the end that still don’t taste right to me, but it definitely needs to marinate before I go back in dumping buckets of cayenne

*points baseball bat* Chapter 22, get tf up, you’re next
Finished chapter 20 of the manuscript

Officially into the mid-plot climax chapters (2 lead-ins, 2 for the actual climax, plus 1 aftermath)

That’ll conclude part 2, and begin the final part 😳

Cannot describe how weird and wonderful it feels to see actual progress on this monster…

Look I’m not saying Platner deserves any benefit of the doubt. I’m not a Mainer; that shit’s up to them

But if we start blurting out “What if they pull a Fetterman???😱” at every progressive candidate who gets any real momentum in rural America then we ain’t winning shit

Peeps are srsly sleeping on the Away Days podcast by @hanrahan.tv

His coverage of the Rio favelas (which touched on BOPE and their utterly vicious tactics) was as harrowing as it was fucking heartbreaking
An anti-drug police operation in low-income neighborhoods of Rio de Janeiro has resulted in more than 100 killings.

Rio authorities’ decisions leading to such a disastrous operation should be investigated. Families of victims deserve truth and justice.

…is this seriously what all of this is about??

We’ve introduced half our friends to Sylvie as “Uncle” or “Aunt” or “Guncle” or “Cousin” or whatever they prefer, because we want her to grow up thinking of them like family

This is a normalass thing. Like, BORING normal. Shouldn’t-sell-papers normal
Speaking as a dude who has a yearly family reunion, "aunt" and "uncle" fill a role, what the fuck are you supposed to call all those other older people you're vaguely related to, do you think there's someone running around with an org chart saying who's a second cousin thrice removed or something

I too tend to not turn people away when they ask to use the bathroom to which I have access

I expect they know that’s where I keep my copy of “How to Use Blood Magic to Radio Satan for New Orders and/or Just to Sext a Bit” by Bernard Asmodeus Sanders
The Oregonians interviewed a guy who Republicans have accused of running an “Antifa safe house.” The levels of MAGA derangement about Portland are truly off the charts.

99.9% certain there’s going to be an upcoming Ghost live show where Tobias & the Ghouls will perform some ritual with the stated purpose of causing this motherfucker on the right to experience testicular torsion once a day, every day until the republic is restored
At least in Watchmen they wore recognizable uniforms.
