“No grievance, political belief, or ideological cause can justify murder." Uh, yes they can

Screenshot from news story which reads:

“Today, Luigi Mangione admitted to stalking and murdering Brian Thompson on a Manhattan street in broad daylight,” said U.S. Attorney Jamie McDonald in a statement. “No grievance, political belief, or ideological cause can justify murder.”

America, again, is NOT a continent. There is a continent named NORTH America and also a continent named SOUTH America, but there is no continent named just America America refers to the United States of America

Here’s another place where “the ability to” was not included or even implied

But choosing a different gender identity, even hormone treatments & surgery, can't completely change biology. A male body makes sperm & a woman's body has eggs.

The sperm & eggs may be fertile or not, a person's sex is not dependent on fertility.

Forgot to add this gem. The latest from @jordanharper.bsky.social is, thus far, truly a violent masterpiece. Crime noir in the LA underbelly

Moving right into part 2 of the Fifth Season with the Obelisk Gate. Book one is a total mind fuck, and this one really settles the reader into the story of Essun, Syenite, and Damaya. Loving the performance by Robin Miles.

Cover of The Obelisk Gate by N.K. Jemisin. The artwork features a stone carved floral pattern.

I started listening to this today. I read The Fifth Season a few years ago and am excited to be revisiting it. @nkjemisin.bsky.social is a truly amazing story teller and I’m interested to see how the narrator (Robin Miles) delivers on the performance. So far I’m enjoying it.

Cover image for The Fifth Season audiobook. The title is center at the top with one word per line. Below in smaller text is “EVERY AGE MUST COME TO AN END” followed on the next line by the author’s name. In the lower left corner is some ornate carving and in the lower right is a quote reading “One of the most celebrated in epic fantasy” -Salon.com

Hi @robertcruickshank.com, A “real leftist” would never vote for Newsom because they recognize that fascism lite is still fascism. Find a candidate we will vote for or YOU are the one admitting they're totally OK with Trump, Vance, MAGA, and everything they're doing to the country right now.

Screenshot of post from Robert Cruickshank which reads:

One is voting for Gavin or whomever the Dem nominee is in 2028, or else one is admitting they're totally OK with Trump, Vance, MAGA, and everything they're doing to the country right now.

A real leftist would understand the importance of defeating fascism and of building a Popular Front to do so.

The quoted post reads:

Leftists in '25: We're not voting for Gavin

Leftists in '26: We're not voting for Gavin

Leftists in '27: We're not voting for Gavin

Leftists in '28: We're not voting for Gavin

Gavin in '28: *loses the general against a JD Vance/Erika Kirk ticket*

Liberals in '28: Why would leftists do this? 😡

Cold War Kids are quietly one of the most consistently good bands of the last 20+ years Their latest EP “Push My Luck/All I Ever Need” is another release with some great songs

Cover of Cold War Kids’ EP “Push My Luck/All I Ever Need” features a background image of various matchbooks with the title tracks overlaid in white text with Push My Luck very large and across the entire image while All I Ever Need is smaller at the bottom of the image

I share my reading on @thestorygraph.com but I’m gonna start also sharing here The first book I started reading in 2026 is The City We Became by @nkjemisin.bsky.social (I’m reading the physical book)

The cover of N.K. Jemisin’s “The City We Became” shows an edited photo of NYC from under a bridge. Buildings are outlined in red, yellow and blue to imply layers. The title “The City We Became” is on the underside of the bridge in yellow, capital letters with “A Novel” in script below that. The Author’s name, N.K. Jemisin, appears in white capital letters at the bottom of the cover.
