@ishac15.bsky.social sent me notification of fake books I've never written, under a variation of my name I have never used for publication. Scam, spam, or just stupid?

I would bet money it's riddled with listening devices and spyware, too.
"Several key security and safety features on the Boeing planes that have been used for decades as Air Force One are not visible on the upgraded jet, including a lower-level exit for high-risk situations, additional backup power capacity and AN ADVANCED ANTIMISSILE SYSTEM" (emphasis mine)
They're going after women's colleges, too.
I tried. I really tried. For over a decade I patiently explained how actually the science shows trans women likely don't have an unfair advantage. i was civil about it. no one believed me. it was all "penis = strong" slop. transphobia-slop. now they're coming for all women's education protections.
@jamellebouie.net just called Lindsay Graham "Trump's Renfield" in a video, and I will never think otherwise. Perfection.
He can pull out and be replaced prior to July 13th. After that the Democratic Party is stuck with Oyster Boy. Collins must be laughing herself into a stupor.
Platner could pull out and Maine Dems can replace him. But that won't do much; the Platner fanboys will then carp about the Establishment and yadda yadda, and not vote, and Collins wins anyway. The mistake was getting emotionally carried away with Platner in the first place.
For the record: "Anti-Zionist" in a profile is an automatic block. I do not support Netanyahu's actions in any way, but I don't support antisemitism either, and "anti-Zionist" is a huge dog whistle.
I live about twenty minutes away from the Eastern States Exposition, and I guarantee that NONE of the temporary buildings look this cheap. Not one.
I read the article articles and watched the videos, but genuinely nothing prepared me for this. This is unbelievable. My perspective comes from years of working live events across the country. I’ve worked county fairs that were 1,000x better than the Great American State Fair. It’s really bad.
it's a last minute construction job in peak build season. That's a decent sized crew, all working OT, that they know will be heavily televised which means strict adherence to safety standards. You do this shit for dust control and benign safety standards. It truly could not be more basic.
Just appalled by the excuses and apologiae for Oyster Boy over on Daily Kos.
Wow, who knew that urban bike activists were so mean-spirited and unwilling to admit that maybe e-bikes are not the answer to all ills?
This user will not allow me to reply, but the idea that inner cities EVER were bicycle-friendly is absurd. It also ignores how small city apartments can be.

Trump Administration Launches a Legally Bogus Investigation into Smith College
The Trump administration claims its investigation into Smith College is about defending women. In reality, it is an attack on the rights of women at Smith to define their own community, values and mis...

I've been waiting for Trump to do this since hates women so much, but I honestly thought his first choice would be Wellesley since it's Hillary Clinton's alma mater. Terrified for Smith.

Now Trump is Coming for Women’s Colleges
The Department of Education, led by wrestler executive Linda MacMahon, is investigating Smith College for admitting transwomen. I am just sick to my stomach. https://www.insidehighered.com/news/

And...I just got a nastygram from a Canadian professor of religion who has a "Free Palestine" thing on her profile because I dared to point out that Jeff Sharlet's recent work on hard right religion in the military was preceded by nearly 50 years by other works. 1/2
Someone on Facebook claimed that her father the English teacher gave her a copy of Shakespeare's plays when she was SEVEN and said "here is a good book, you should read it." The mere idea that kid just past Dick & Jane should read plays in what is basically another language is risible. Good Lord.
And this is what he would use to demolish the entire building and throw up an ugly hotel.
Well that will open up the Strait of Hormuz. "The White House’s main entrance — framed by graceful Ionic columns — has been a signature image of the seat of US power "A Trump-appointee is proposing to replace them with a more ornate style favored by Trump... www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Who is pushing the idea of *Rahm Emanuel* as President????? He's not qualified and wouldn't even make it to the first primaries.
As I will for as long as mainstream media tries to push a Rahm Emanuel presidency, I am once again posting my big Rahm takedown piece I wrote last year: www.readtpa.com/p/the-smalle...
I just watched the footage of the murder of Renee Nicole Good. I haven't felt this utterly sick since seeing the video of Ahmaud Arbery being blown away by the good ol' boys who'd stalked and hunted him down like a dog.
Big difference between Dukakis going to the local fair to try to woo voters after he got the nomination and Reagan starting his whole damn campaign there. Double standards are thing, Skippy.
LOL! Noam Chomsky palling around with Steve Bannon. Y'all Chomskyites are morons.
And then there was the time that Duane Ingalls Glasscock, the alter ego of Boston DJ Charles Laquidara, locked himself in the control and played Fleetwood Mac's "Tusk" on continuous loop for several hours.....
