People who believe in intercessory prayer have a... specific relationship with language and the results they expect to get just from saying something. This is pretty amazing though.

Dying at the right-wing activists that (1) held a call with Todd Blanche in which Blanche made a lot of anti-abortion promises, (2) said "uh this is off the record" like doing so would magically ward off journalists, and then (3) UPLOADED IT TO THEIR YOUTUBE CHANNEL www.politico.com/news/2026/08...

The acting attorney general’s conversation with Trump appears to have taken place just hours after the president publicly mused about pulling Blanche’s nomination and instead trying to push through a fund that could be used to compensate Jan. 6 rioters and others who claim to have been persecuted by the Biden administration. Announcements at the beginning and end of the Intercessors for America call stated that it was “not intended for press purposes.” A speaker told attendees that the call was “not on the record” and directed any journalists on the line to hang up. POLITICO was not on the call on Thursday when it took place and did not agree to any limits on reporting. Audio of the session was posted on YouTube by Intercessors for America, which calls itself “the largest national prayer ministry dedicated to praying for our government and leaders.” As of Monday, the recording remained publicly accessible.

Look up Solar City in Buffalo, Elon and Cuomo made a deal to basically give him land to build a solar panel factory in a poor residential neighborhood for like $1 a year tax-free. He ended up making like 200 solar panels, employed like 5% of what was promised, whole thing was a fucking boondoggle.

#bugsky (is that a thing?) I have an indoor potted plant that occasionally shows evidence of being eaten (leaves chomped) and recently a small stem cut clean off. Weeks pass between these incidents. I have no pets. No other plants have this problem. What's eating my plant?

‘Cancer prevention’ is a scam when it comes out of the mouths of the wellness industry. They rely on the 60% to make their argument for them. But even worse than being a scam, it’s a privatization scheme. It promises people the way to health is individual choice rather than *collective action*.

@nmasanil.bsky.social isn't very active on here but if you've read ARB you've seen her work as an artist and activist, which is amazing. Her family is dealing with cancer and the American health care system and could use help. www.gofundme.com/f/hecz66-hel...

A confirmed ICE vehicle that has been seen at at least 3 abductions was left parked on the street in Williamsburg for a few days. It received an NYC makeover: its side windows and windshield smashed, two tires flattened, and the message “ICE OUT” scrawled on the side. Pic sent in anon:

I can't help it if you follow me by mistake, assuming that my priority might be the perfecting of an internet self and a timid conformity to your rigid rules of digital behaviour rather than selling enough weird books to be able to keep writing weird books until I die, but I wouldn't advise it.
