I wonder what keeps what we used to call journalists from reporting what is happening politically. Are they automatically silenced in compliance with their corporate bosses or do they willingly self-silence in advance, and what might be the payoff?

He will either die first or kill us all, or both

Trump’s obsession with these vulgar memorials to his own vanity is a reminder of the darkness around him, of his hostility to democracy, his loathing of honor, and his disordered mind. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Trump’s Monumental Obsession
The president fantasizes about a capital city full of memorials—to himself.

Andy, sorry, that’s not a joke. That’s a public service announcement

Please don't denigrate apes, they're in a far more intelligent category of animal than this willfully stupid maga-subspecies of sapiens

Except that none of these malevolent slobs could rock a uniform the way those nazis did, decorum plus atrocities

Not even a sliver of daylight between the intentions of the trump regime and this repellent manifesto from the Party (Orwell 1984)

Just hilarious and the funniest noir comedy imaginable these days except that existentially the whole country is like the sitting-duck media on that plane

Please more book reviews, Pandy!

Hey Pandy, this review is from last year. And you infer that you have others, this being singled out for the day A YEAR AGO Now waiting patiently for a curated collection of your favorite one-star book reviews

I love how relational and benign he’s being and yet, as friendly as he comes across, he will honor his bear nature

You’re welcome! First when I look I’m transported to a whole experience of a place I’d like to be. Then I notice what’s happening here is a few strong watercolor horizontal strokes and some perspective-making foreground sand—masterful

Terrifying passive voice language that ICE is inventing. “Passing away from his injuries” removes the murdering ICE agent(s) from being cause of death

Just brilliant!

This might be the one crucial question about religious beliefs that is worth asking. Not the beliefs whatever they may be—but does this belief reinforce a person’s certainty, of being right, making others wrong

Finally — a really good laugh

So funny...the atheist part is where mostly any person would land if not caught up in a culture of already-there religious discourse

Wow, this Obama—what a hunk of a president, how did we get so lucky? Intelligence, humor, kindness, charisma, and courage besides dazzlingly good looks. No comment on the blob next door

This quote chills me to the bone

Gari @badass-elder.bsky.social · 20/05/2026
It’s hard to describe our outrage and disgust because this level of corruption is beyond what we have experienced or have adequate language for. We need a whole new dimension of human responses to describe what we are witnessing

It’s a dimensional problem. Most people think ordinary Cartesian language can touch the layers of emotional richness if you’ve loved, or been chosen by a cat—a dimension so close to the heart that the loss feels existential (missing Lola Zeppole whose heart stopped beating one month ago)
