The beautiful princess who lives next door (a little cat) tried to eat a dragonfly today. I told her she shouldn’t do that but she was like “it’s feminism. It’s a feminist fairy tale”

Rep. Melanie Stansbury (NM-01)@repstansbury.bsky.social · 38m agoToday the New Mexico Truth Commission issued their first interim public report on their investigation into the Epstein case in New Mexico and Zorro Ranch. There is a long way to go & we will continue to stand with survivors. You can read the report here: static1.squarespace.com/static/6a075...
I don't know who needs to know this, but PIG is coming to Seattle on Sept 4th and I'll be going, because his shows always kick ass. If you’re up for it, you should come!
I personally find it reassuring and not at all an indication that I'm listening to a dipshit crank when an interview begins with the regular line, "It wouldn't usually be proportionate to have somebody on the door of every single toilet or changing room asking people their sex before they went in."
EHRC chair challenged on how to enforce single-sex toilet rules
We spoke to Mary Ann Stephenson, the chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission.

Sure, you lefties can win in safe places like New York, but you gotta learn how to play the game like us if you want to survive at a national level. Check this out: *loses twice to the worlds dumbest pedophile*
Proof of how the press is completely failing on SpaceX. SpaceX's post IPO stock has lost nearly as value (as a %) as the legendarily bad IPO of Pets.com and yet no press outlet is treating it as such. This is a massive insider trading fraud between Musk, SV investors and banks.
TLDR: Fascism Gil Durán was banned by Musk for tweeting that in April about Palantir's "technological manifesto". "Fascism is no exaggeration, MAGA ticks all the boxes." 'Silicon Valley is fascist “because they have wholly aligned with a fascist movement. That’s their vehicle for gaining power.”'
‘If we don’t fight back, we don’t have a future’: the journalist taking on the ‘tech fascists’ of Silicon Valley
As Elon Musk, Peter Thiel and their peers have grown richer and more influential, Gil Durán argues they have all but abandoned democracy – and found the perfect government to enable them

To clarify: Flash Gordon does not take place in the future, just on another planet. Buck Rogers DOES take place in the future. John Carter of Mars takes place during Reconstruction, of all things
Didn't realize just how much I would want to see this until right now.

It's been one year today since the release of my opera-themed thriller THE UNDERSTUDY, and even if you haven't read it, I feel like you should *definitely* read the utterly unhinged piece I wrote about it last year for @scalzi.com's site. whatever.scalzi.com/2025/08/07/t...
The Big Idea: Morgan Richter
Sometimes, you try your best, and it simply isn’t enough. Author Morgan Richter explores the question of “should the main character always be triumphant, even when under-skilled compare…

Morgan Richter@morganrichter.bsky.social · 12mo agoI wrote a freewheeling piece for @scalzi.com's Big Idea feature about THE UNDERSTUDY that somehow managed to encompass The Karate Kid, Miami Vice, Duran Duran, and Joe Esposito, all while talking about opera. I'm quite pleased with this one. whatever.scalzi.com/2025/08/07/t...

Gonna go out on a limb here and say racist cranks who write for extremist white nationalist websites like VDARE should not, in fact, be confirmed to top roles in the Department of Justice.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3h agoSCHIFF: You told my staff you stood by your article in white nationalist website VDARE where you wrote, 'Muslim immigrants & their kids seem prone to terrorism' C: I wrote that article in support of Trump's travel ban S: Do you stand by it? C: I stand by that article S: That's all I need to know
the people saying it mean "falsehood" when they say "social construct" and you don't actually need to affirm that premise

I got @sxbond.bsky.social's 100 FAQ on Making Comics in the mail today and I love this sticker with the U.S. comics page size. I have this on a post-it note stuck on my monitor, but now it can be more aesthetic.
Wanna feel old Star Trek fans? "Trials and Tribbleations" was one of the two* 30TH ANNIVERSARY specials created in 1996 for DS9 and Voyager. We're now at the 60th Anniversary so do the math there. (*VOY had Tuvok's episode "Flashback" where they go back to his time on Sulu's Excelsior bridge crew)
Octism Queen@snowqueenofhoth.bsky.social · yesterdayI’m guessing this is a cold take, but this is a top 10, maybe even top 5 DS9 episode
This book is really precious, I really love Rose’s work and massively recommend it for the kids in your life

The NHS data given to Palantir hasn't been anonymised so actually the USA/Israeli spy company has every single person's Medical Records. And they have even been paid £330m to steal them. AND the deal has been shown to have no measurable improvement on the NHS.

Beyond hyped for these!!!! Next request: Dredd Compact that has all of the movie tie-in comics (preferably in a format that would shelve well next to the 4k disc...)
2000 AD Comics@2000ad.bsky.social · 7h agoAnnouncing Judge Dredd: Compact Crimes, Volume One! A new range collecting Judge Dredd from the beginning in new compact editions in 2027 - and only £9.99 per volume! https://bit.ly/3S9QM8u
For those wondering about page count/stories of the new Dredd compacts.
Maverick Morris@stevewmorris.bsky.social · 3h agoThey have a shorter page count than the Case Files (approx 224 pages each) so they won't be a 1:1 with them. I plan to reveal the stories inside each volume sometime soon, so readers know what to expect in each one
BREAKING: The New Mexico Department of Justice has sued Acting AG Todd Blanche and the DOJ, requesting the court for access to unredacted Epstein-related investigative files that the DOJ has been withholding.
