The USS Abraham Lincoln already set a record with 208 continuous days at sea. Now sailors and family members say the twice-extended deployment now at over nine months is stretching the crew too thin and conditions are deteriorating.
Moldy showers and no soap: Military families are outraged by conditions on USS Lincoln
The aircraft carrier's long deployment in the Iran war is raising concerns that the sailors and Marines on board are facing poor conditions, low supplies and fatigue.

❤️ Gillian Green, publisher at Tor Bramble, told The Bookseller: “HM Wolfe has confirmed that Daggermouth was written entirely without AI. We stand behind our author, and we do not recognise third-party AI detection tools as a fair or reliable measure of authenticity when used on their own.”

Here it is, after over a year, I finally edited the a red quarter Moon rising over Lake Superior, shot from Michigan, last July 18th at 1am. This was a rough one! 🗺️
Brett "Solidarity 2026" Banditelli@banditelli.org · 18h agoSince we're talking about Michigan tonight, here's my 2nd favorite shot when I rolled on through last year.

If you have any history of abuse, do not watch the video of that representative being interviewed. I shouldn’t have and I am still amped up hours later. Those of you lucky enough not to speak abuser should, though. The guy is textbook.
This amazing website, called "Worse on Purpose," is cataloguing all the ways companies are deliberately and secretively degrading their own products As usual, in most cases the culprit is private equity extracting enormous sums while everyone else is left worse off.
I'm reading Daniel Kraus' wonderful breakdown of Night of the Living Dead PARTIALLY DEVOURED, and it's terrific. But.. Johnny is CLEARLY doing a Boris Karloff accent in NIGHT, right?

I'm just going to keep screaming this until I'm hoarse, but until Trump the norm -- for 50 years -- was that sitting presidents had their taxes audited by the IRS and released to the public to show they were clean. But Trump refused repeatedly, and sued when his return was leaked, and now ... this
Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 2d agoFLAG: Trump gets to keep tax immunity for himself, his sons, and the Trump Organization under the new 'deal' struck by Todd Blanche. The new order also reaffirms that Trump won't have to pay any taxes he might have owed the IRS.

We also wrote a whole extra briefing about this summer’s surge in ICE activity. The gist is that ICE would like to stay out of the kind of news coverage that drives public resistance, but they’re still going to arrest everyone they possibly can. 5/9 unbreaking.org/blog/briefin...

Thank you to @awalrusdarkly.bsky.social and @bloody-disgusting.com for including THE MINIMALIST on their list of Most Anticipated Horror Books of August 2026! So excited for my weird, gruesome classical music novel to launch on August 18. 🎶🩸
🧵This regime is surely guilty of a lot of evil, but there's a special cast to the evil of denying a reality THROUGH WHICH WE ALL LIVED that stole at *least* 1.2 million of us. That's more people than the populations of St. Louis, New Orleans, Boise, & Anchorage, combined. One of them was my mom.

Every now and then someone takes a run at me along the lines of "I don't understand why you, a scifi writer, don't appreciate 'AI'," and I'm all, motherfucker, it's *because* I'm a science fiction writer I have the positions I have, how many times do we have to fucking yell "torment nexus," my dude
Dutch doctors and activists displayed 1,400 pairs of white shoes in a square in the Netherlands in memory of fallen healthcare workers in Gaza. This is heartbreaking.
In his live video, Max Miller stated that the allegations only stemmed from his ex-wife. Wrong. There are allegations that he: - Threw a girl down the stairs in high school - Was expelled from college for a violent incident involving a female student - Abused his ex-girlfriend Stephanie Grisham
That we have large pops of immigrants in Ohio from places like Haiti and Somalia should make us proud. It says that even if you’ve never been here, it could be a safe place for you and your children. A place to put down roots and grow. To find good neighbors. It’s an honor, and a responsibility.
And those Ohio Republicans are vastly different from Rep. Mike Carey, a former coal lobbyist who is still basically acting as a coal lobbyist.
Dana Bash showed in this interview exactly how to handle a gaslighting sociopath. This is precisely how journalists should deal with all of them, including Trump.

The TOS being so strict that they control you offsite is the problem; sites like Patreon and Kofi have offsite clauses too. The social criminalization of the suggestion that somewhere you might be doing nsfw is a problem. It's branding a person as obscene and we need consumers to stand up for us
