Waiting on the press to go around asking 160 million people if they'd also arrest the leaders of Hamas.

New poll: Americans believe the U.S. should arrest Benjamin Netanyahu by a +22 margin Total: 49-27 Black: 53-13 Hispanic: 52-15 Ages 18-29: 58-17 Harris voters: 74-10 Independents: 55-20 23% of Trump voters agree as well Economist/YouGov:

For the love of all that's holy, people, stop eating copper-clad human feet. Only nickle-clad human feet are safe for consumption.

No spoilers, but it'll be easier than you think.

Another good reason to not be a transphobe is it liquifies your brain. This woman used to breezily invent plausible new words, entirely de novo from Latin roots, recapitulating the thousand-year evolution of English like it was nothing. Today she doesn't know what a fucking adjective is.

I'm not saying she's necessarily the stupidest person of all time, but she's definitely the person with the biggest ever gap between how clever they think they are, and how stupid they actually are.

Oh, totally obvious. It's just like how it's tots moral to suddenly yank the floors out of a skyscraper you built, sending everyone inside plummeting to their deaths.

I actually think transgender women have been put through enough and should all be entitled to up to five unprosecuted crimes against society. Nothing violent but like some embezzling or RICO shit.

The norms of civility demand that some people get respect no matter how monstrous they are, and others deserve no respect, however innocent.

I know everyone’s making their jokes, but to be real: it’s an American sickness that the media and political class are praising someone who has spent last year calling for a genocide. Lindsay Graham was the worst of us. He wanted the blood of children to flow in the streets of Gaza and got his wish.

Took an entire day and an obscene amount of money to find out Dizzy had a stomach ache, but at least I got these embarrassing photos of him with his belly shaved & tripped out on sedatives.

Hey friends: you can vote for the Ignytes until Aug. 16! Obviously I'd love it if you felt “Because I Held His Name Like a Key” earned your vote, but I'd love it too if you read up & down the whole spectacular ballot; and I also wanna talk about what it means to me to have my story nominated. 🧵

The best thing about a good fantasy isn't the "Once upon a time" beginning, but the satisfaction of having lived with characters enough that the brain is warmed by "The End". Come sit by the fire to wait.

Throughout my career, I've been lucky enough to write for Stargate, Liz Vassey, and now Warren Zevon. And that's something my dark moods can never take away from me. Honored to be part of this group.

THIS is how you spot and confirm AI-generated submissions. Not em-dashes or word choice or by asking some other goddamn AI what its own soulless opinion is. You look for quirks like sentence repetition, inconsistency, inscrutable pacing, and narrative cul-de-sacs, then talk to the putative author.

Michigan, you might need your sweat towel for this one. Thursday, July 9 at the Southfield Public Library, 6p-8p. Me and Keith Owens chopping it up about the BLACK SUMMERS anthology, how sunrise hits Detroit, and how good times can be hot and fonky.

Trump is watching the Fox News feed of himself watching Fox News

Today I quadrupled the number of skirts and dresses I own (to 8) and did my nails for the first time in years. The more they try to strike me down, the girlier I'll become. Mark my words, I will be the motherfucking embodiment of feminine goddamn mystique just to shove it to those shitheads.

As the official representative of the trans community, I'm proud to announce the outcome of our recent attempts to meet conservatives halfway, with a common-sense compromise. Starting today, we will no longer say, "Trans lives matter", but rather, "Trans lives have a small but nonzero value".

Given the abundance of evidence, one can only conclude that politicians who strategically make a hard-right turn are doing so because they hold hard-right views.

Adam Bonica@adambonica.bsky.social · last mo.

Starmer’s resignation is a warning, but we’ve run this experiment at home. Sinema, Golden, and Fetterman made the same bet: that poll-tested moderation is a safe harbor. All saw their support crater. In a moment like this, tacking right isn’t the safe play, it’s the thing that sinks you.

‘I’m Done, I’m Not in That F*cking Political Party’: James Carville Freaks Out After Progressives Win Big in Democratic Primaries

Thinking about how tired I was when I got home. Thinking about how I entered copy edits until my eyes started drooping. About how I want this trilogy to end with dignity, how the energy inside the book ought to warm hands. Thinking those desires are going to keep me showing up to do the work.

Threatening to invade your peaceful ally so you can eat an unhealthy amount of fried food. Again, the writers really need to dial it back a bit with these crazy characters. It's too on the nose for anyone to believe.

Look, all I'm saying is there's a line in there where a character wonders whether witches bring the party or not. Follow along if you want to know.
