I think a shoutout for all the ex-wives and ex-girlfriends of the pathetic males is in order. Platner, Miller, the ICE guy in Maine who shot and killed a man for no reason. The victims are speaking out. In real time. And that is powerful. And moving.
Missouri voters have overwhelmingly rejected Amendment 5, the GOP-backed plan to phase out the state income tax and replace it with higher sales taxes
I wrote about a frustrating, brilliant novel that deals with how devoid of connections and curiosity the world has become, and then, fittingly, I wrote (again) about how AI is ruining the book publishing industry. www.themarisreview.com/the-maris-re...

Should pay attention to Blanche’s full confirmation because there is a big abortion angle. People with uteruses and the people without, get ready.

Ok, so. The MLB owners who let their teams wander into the playoffs, instead of backing them up at the deadline, are sssholes. NL and AL central teams get fucked every year. The prob is, fans are getting screwed in every day life too.

He dumped water we needed in LA to fight the Palisades wildfires into the Central Valley just to fuck us over and it wasted water they needed for the grow season. No one remembers this either. It's insane.
Stephen Judkins@stephenjudkins.bsky.social · 4d agoIt's pretty infuriating that Trump is denying disaster aid to Oregon for political reasons and I have barely heard anything about it, while Biden was falsely accused of doing the exact same thing to North Carolina and millions of people believed that
