The level of crazy that the MAGAts have is high. Like really high. I'm guessing we see more violence. Also, I find it funny, but not that funny, how the right takes all the leftist tal… Read More

As many of us watched the semi-slow-mo disaster that was the covid response and said the right was incapable of reacting properly to it. More so, Climate Change was the template for a series… Read More

It appears that more people are joining Signal. The funny thing about it, is that I get to see which of my friends have joined (not sure about this feature, specifically). There was a huge j… Read More

Not that their ability to cry over nothing doesn't mean we shouldn't take it seriously. Mainly because they are quick to move to violence over nothing as well. Picture how the right lo… Read More

The list of superrich right wingers essentially trying to push the world over the edge and end civilization is far too long. One gone means the world is a little better. Enjoyed it? Sha… Read More

When many of us asked the dems to move on impeachment with a quickness and instead we heard "turn the page" bs and so we pointed out that if this shoe were ever on the other foot the right w… Read More

Just to put it out there, Cuomo fucked up in the beginning of the pandemic and is fucking up now. Look at those fines he's trying to hand out, fucking up the vaccination rollout and all to s… Read More

Some MAGAt got shot. I can only assume how badly they acted to get shot vs protestors at BLM marches. Can't make those night meetings real awkward. But looks like they're all friends h… Read More

Well, it seems like the election in Georgia is over. Should be two seats for the Dems. Meanwhile American Carnage in DC continues. Well, at least they're being consistent there. Also, just c… Read More

So hopefully I'll be able to read something today at the Hugo House reading. Choosing between two piece rn. Not that the world and the crazy Trump train is working in my favor. Ah… Read More

Solid article here (long, about 37 pages here) on covid, our reaction to it and all the failures along the way. Much of it, if you've been paying attention, is well known. Trump's reac… Read More

What a year, right? Well, I've been busy at work (thankful that I can WFH), busy writing (though, I only got one published, but working on transferring more), busy with art. Some of it dark… Read More

Read this article a short while ago. Well, at the start of the pandemic, to be exact, and I was pretty taken by it as it reflected much of what I thought at the time, and still think. Indeed… Read More

Indeed, this land is already taken, but note how many times it's been stolen. Here's a thread on the WWII internment camps and how they were merely an excuse to steal land (those who pushed… Read More

Seems like Seattle might get hit after being smart (and getting a little lucky) early on. We're pretty good about mask wearing, so that might help a little. And deaths-wise, King Count… Read More
