The feeling when the President of the United States literally hates the country he's supposed to govern and makes no secret of it.

Trump: "Look at the blue cities. What do they have in common? They're all dirty. They're filthy dirty. Their streets are dirty. Their streets smell. Their storefronts are broken. Their trees are all gross. Everything about the place is dirty. It's really all of them."

If anybody was excited that Science Fiction Weekly is aiming to "revive" Daily Science Fiction, you should know they are straight-up lying about having gotten permission from writers to republish DSF stories on their website. (Yes, I have sent a DCMA takedown notice.)

ANYWAY. Daily Science Fiction published between 44 to 47 of my short stories. As far as I can tell, Science Fiction Weekly hasn't published ALL of them yet, but they have published MOST of them without my permission.

Hey! If you were published at Daily Science Fiction, be aware that a site called Science Fiction Weekly has stolen the entire story database & posted it on their site. All of my DSF stories are there without my permission. sciencefictionweekly.com

Looks like someone pirated Daily Science Fiction's entire output and posted them here, claiming to have author permission. At least a dozen authors to my knowledge have said they didn't grant permission. If you were published by DFS, you might wanna consider a Cease and Desist.

there is a recurring prompt around what’s the best that anyone has ever looked on camera and I never have an answer but I’m watching right now and I think it’s gotta be George Clooney in Ocean’s 11

If Obama or Biden had done anything even remotely like this--attacked a red state, weaponized funding, withheld funds--simply for voting for Trump...you can bet not a single Republican would have shut up for even a second. And no Democrat with a conscience would have supported it.

NEW: In a stunning admission, the Trump administration admitted in court documents that it canceled billions in energy grants to states "based solely" on politics -- and whether that state was represented by Democrats and backed Harris in 2024. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/b...

You do not have to give people “due process” before you choose not to vote for them. You can just be like “oh word the guy who wrote rape apologia and had allegations just got another serious allegation? Guess he doesn’t need to be my senator.”

Honestly. It’s just that simple. Believe them when they drop a racist slur. Believe them when they deadname a trans person. Believe them when they mock someone’s disability. Believe them when they ask if she’d been drinking. And so on. The field of red flags is FERTILE AND ABUNDANT.

This is bone-chilling. A conservative hedge fund manager wants to require little girls to pass genital inspections for their “safety.” And it’s only for girls’ sports. There’s a clear link between transphobia and child sexual abuse.

"The move came after a transgender student who was part of Boise High School’s Sexuality and Gender Alliance died by suicide, and another stopped attending the school, the group’s lawyers wrote in a legal agreement reached Wednesday requesting the case be dismissed."

this was HR 2616 which also bans books by or about trans and nonbinary people from schools START CALLING YOUR SENATORS NOW CIS FRIENDS TRANS KIDS NEED YOU

ACLU@aclu.org · 3mo ago

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just voted to require teachers to forcibly out transgender youth against their will. Censoring "gender ideology" does nothing to advance the basic promise that every child deserves the same opportunity to thrive, and that includes transgender students.

H.R. 2616 passed in the House of Representatives this afternoon. This is devastating. It's like a national "Don't Say Gay" bill only exponentially worse. We're going to need everyone -- EVERYONE -- to help out as we full-court press the Senate. This bill MUST be stopped. They are coming for us.

When Minneapolis felt under heavy siege, people from everywhere helped and reached out and it was really heartening and made a difference. Memphis deserves that too, all the more so because there appears to be a concerted effort to keep their occupation out of the news

Mother Jones@motherjones.com · 3mo ago

Memphis is “under full-blown occupation” by ICE. Here’s why you may not know that.

If you're a writer, write "i waited" without saying it. "I kicked back in my chair with a book and a six-pack. By the time Jack McGee finally showed up, I was three chapters away from learning who'd killed the billionaire, and two beers away from no longer caring."
