Hi. I wanted to explain something. If you see me posting my purchase links a lot it's because I have to. Almost all writers do at this point. Most publishers have shrunk or killed off their publicity departments, so we have to get the word out ourselves. That's the writing life in 2026.

Did James Talarico tell his grandmother that he thought he might be gay? Oh, no! That was JD Vance! Has James Talarico been in a 15 year mentor-protégé relationship with gay billionaire Peter Thiel? Oh, no! That was JD Vance! Did James Talarico pose in drag? Oh, no! That was JD Vance!

🚨 ANALYSIS: Trump eased sanctions on Russian diesel weeks before the midterms, despite analysts doubting the deal will meaningfully lower prices. Zelenskyy accuses Trump of using Ukraine’s peace talks as a “smokescreen” for his Putin deal. The full story is worse than you think.

They disinvented the VCR. You might think that the reason we don't have VCRs anymore is because VCRs were supplanted by DVDs, PVRs and streaming, but that's not the case. They had it in for the VCR from the very start, and they never stopped trying to kill it. Eventually, they succeeded. 1/
A 1960s family living room in which a mom, dad and two kids are mesmerized by a cabinet-style TV. The image has been altered. The TV has an early 1990s VCR atop it. The TV screen is displaying a cross-sectioned human head with brains and spine on display. A huge fist has materialized in the room, with bloody spiked knuckle-dusters, smashing into the VCR. The oil painting over the sofa has been replaced with a pulp image of a male head, its cranium removed and replaced by a dome. Inside the dome is a red eight-segment VCR clock, displaying 12:00. The background in the painting is a tangle of cassette tape. The whole image's colors have been boosted, giving it an overexposed look.

I don’t know what crawled up (mostly male) critics’ asses and died there, but I like the 4th season of Ted Lasso, and really like the way it’s talking money, entrenched misogyny, expectations, and relationships. Women’s professional sports is hard as fuck, and it HAS to be shown.

We all know this is true. The SC knew it too, which is why they gave him immunity. But if the immunity was supposed to just be for official acts, why are they using it to cover everything, including insurrection and treason?

It's not about being offended by religious books.
The state using children as a captive congregation is offensive.
Teach religions as history, literature, and culture and all the horrors done in their names?
Fine.
Require one tradition's scripture as classroom authority? No.
That is not faith. That is forced conformity.
Fuck that.

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito leaned on an erroneous claim that Black voter turnout now tops white voter turnout, in his Callais v. Louisiana ruling that gutted the Voting Rights Act, reports The Guardian. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

SCOTUS used faulty racial voter turnout data to shred Voting Rights Act in recent ruling
The ruling that upended the Voting Rights Act was based in part on a false data analysis about Black and white voter turnout.
