In light of the news of Tennessee’s botched execution tonight, revisiting my colleague @laurengill.bsky.social’s piece on witnessing Alabama attempt to experiment with execution methods to kill a man. boltsmag.org/alabama-nitr...

“Agony” and “Suffering” as Alabama Experiments with Nitrogen Executions - Bolts

Alabama said Alan Miller’s execution by lethal gas would be “more humane.” He writhed and gasped for air in his final moments.

One of the last things George Ryan did as Illinois' disastrously corrupt governor was to commute the sentences of everybody on death row. Gruesome displays like Tennessee's are why. Everyone responsible for it is a disgrace to their office and the human race.

I would like to remind the editorial staff of the Atlantic that I am available to run D&D. Try out a new Dex paladin build instead of publishing stupid hogwash with premises that fall apart after 10 seconds of examination.

In the 45 minutes since checking my college kid in for her covid shot at this Walgreens, I have heard 6 or 7 people get their rx rejected or told it was filled at some other location despite what the app told them. The poor pharma techs don't know shit.

So let's review what 2 options Mecklenburg had here: 1. Resign rather than be a tool of the regime. 2. Be a tool of the regime, fail, burn her whole reputation in the process, get betrayed by the regime, resign anyway. www.chicagotribune.com/2026/09/25/b...

Well guys, I guess it's up to us to create AAA console games from here on out. I can probably afford to throw in for the dumb little balls you need to stick all over Debra Wilson so the computer knows it's her. Anybody code firmware or uh, have a line on rare earth metals?

No, Bret, I should not recoil at the thought nobody wants to read the same crap they were forced to read in high school just because their grandparents had it packed in next to their C-ration at the Normandy landing. Why does this man work while legions of actual writers I know go unemployed?

LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

A repost for batman day: Back in 2022, I spent a year revisiting Batman: The Animated Series for its 30th anniversary. Sadly, Kevin Conroy, voice of batman, passed away that year. So I wrote a reflection on his definitive portrayal of the dark knight. www.pastemagazine.com/tv/batman-th...

I don't know how else to say it, but I'm not voting for you if you don't protect trans people. It is not and can never be a numbers game. If a candidate said they were going to abandon just one person to having their rights destroyed, it would be just as unacceptable. You could be that one. You are.

You can’t have it both ways. You can’t be “It’s simple math, vote blue no matter who, grow up” and ALSO believe you are fighting fascism by making calculations as to who’s expendable. The world we’re in now demands more from us. More from everyone.
