“He took away abortion and he wants to be a dictator” should be plastered on every surface and blaring out of every speaker.

I'm supposed to be prepping my fall courses and editing my book proofs, but I thought I'd organize my yarn room instead. No regrets

What's really sad is that it's not coat hanger abortions that are killing women, but miscarriages that doctors refuse to treat because they can get in trouble for "assisting" in an "abortion". Really fucked up :(

Once in a while there will be a movie released on DVD with longer cuts left in and it becomes apparent that cutting/editing was the far better choice (Tombstone comes to mind).

I kneel in the direction of Google HQ chanting my mantra, "the electricity needs of AI supercede the human requirement of an inhabitable planet" outside the window a choir of Boston Dynamics robot dogs bark the national anthem

As well-meaning publishers try to navigate the coming storm of state laws against diversity, I hope they'll consider Timothy Snyder's Rule #1 (from his slim book ON TYRANNY).

So many easy campaign messages at Dem's disposal and they never seem to put them out. There should have been campaigns addressing the lies, the mishandled documents, the felonies, etc for months now.

I think the reason Philip K Dick is still the predominant SF writer of the last century is, he was the only one who foresaw a future where everything would be boring, inconvenient and dehumanising, and where the only way you can win is to somehow refuse to give up your humanity.

Also, and this is just personal, I’m never forgiving anyone who equivocated about our choices in 2016. Not a single one. I will hate you in life and haunt you in death.

Some of the nihilism I'm seeing on the skyline is why Black people say y'all wouldn't last an hour as us, btw.

The thing I can't stop thinking about is this: I'm 48, and in my adult lifetime there has been one Republican who won the popular vote. But I will probably spend the rest of my life under the authority of a Supreme Court dominated by hard right conservatives. How is that democracy?

Just need to say out loud & plain that I hate that the values of our society are so completely fucked & the power of the administrative state so completely diminished that these companies can just steal from us & run roughshod over our Actual needs, & we have damn near no fucking recourse. I HATE it

I should clarify, I'm talking about pirating TV/streaming. Not artists' works like music and books. Screw the CEOs.
