“Trump has rejected disaster aid for Democratic-run states at the highest rate in the 47-year history of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.” Right now people in blue states are basically paying federal taxes as if they’re colonized territories of red states. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

Some writing advice I've found useful is to pretend you're writing to one reader. This helps lower the expectations for how many people will read your book.
Was biting into a slice just as I saw the Top 50 list. Totally worth the pizza burn. I am overjoyed. Big thanks to David Galef and @vestalreview.bsky.social for pubbing "Picture Day," to @sudhab.bsky.social and @wigleaf.bsky.social readers, and to @andrewporter01.bsky.social for his generosity. ☺️🙏✨

The @wigleaf.bsky.social Long List and Top 50 list is up www.wigleaf.com.🎈 Special thanks to Guest Selecting Editor, @andrewporter01.bsky.social. Gratitude also to our team who spent countless hours reading. And big 🙏 to Scott Garson without whom this list wouldn't exist! 🌷🌷
Here's someone who makes a big, bold and very popular promise, then actually delivers it. Why do other supposedly-leftwing administrations find this so hard? (Actually, that's a rhetorical question: they deliver for their funders and the rest of the oligarch class, ahead of their voters).
David Ho@davidho.bsky.social · last mo.It’s hard to understand why Mamdani is so popular 🙃
Dems have to run on this hard. Do not let the RFK types try to spin what his own party just signed off on here. Actual Monsanto, the comic book villain of Adbusters days, was shielded from liability over poisoning Americans. I don't care if it's slopulism: this Supreme Court wants you dead.

Don't expose your brain to generative AI. It's incredibly harmful, according to new studies out this year. Overuse of smart phones and social media has a reversible effect if you go cold-turkey, but generative AI appears to have longer-term effects. Colonizing your brain to stoopid.

He backed down and extended the "deadline" two weeks. This is good, but it's also terrorism. He is terrorizing the whole world worse than ever before by purposely using vague threats that insinuate nuclear warfare. He must be removed from office for the threat alone.

Dr. Vaughn Joy@gvaughnjoy.bsky.social · 4mo agoListen, I didn't want to do Dr. Strangelove ... (1964) this week, but this man is obviously a psychotic. Kubrick's satire is important for working through Trump's purposely vague threat that invokes the terror of nuclear fears and the truth that the POTUS is a terrorist, a psychotic terrorist.
He's fucking with us all. Getting off on the seismic impacts and psychic damage of every move he makes, word he says. Malignant narcissism on a global scale. When does it end?
