I said this in a thread last night and in a thousand threads before it, but you really are doing the work of those who would destroy democracy and the rule of law when you are a doomer. You can be aware of — and vigorously oppose — the lawlessness of this administration without insisting on doom.

When Cristian Roldan starts, the Sounders are playing a Supporters’ Shield-contender levels (2.1 ppg). When he doesn’t, they look like a Wooden Spoon contender (.71 ppg). @timostlundfoss.bsky.social explores why that might be. www.sounderatheart.com/2026/10/cris...

65/50 I watched THE SOCIAL RECKONING! I liked it more than a little and less than a lot. I think it's made for an older generation that makes up the primary user base of Facebook. For that audience, I think it is effective. #FilmSky #TheSocialReckoning #2026Movies
The Social Reckoning

Jeremy Allan White and Mikey Madison are on a hotel couch and going over the documents that would be published in The Facebook Files

3 Stars

A film made for a specific audience that probably won't win many fans outside them.

64/50 I watched MOTHER MARY which puts me one film away from completing the 2026 Anne Hathaway Septology. The first half of this movie had me entranced, but then it takes a turn that launched me hard out of the film. Looks great though! #FilmSky #2026Movies #MotherMary
Mother Mary

Two women sit across from each other in the middle of an incantation circle.

The first half is an intriguing chamber piece, but it descends into madness.

AI Bros and Boosters love to claim that Chat GPT and Claude are sentient. They aren't; but let's entertain the thought for a moment. If they are sentient, that comes with an essential feature: Responsibility. If they are sentient then they are morally responsible for the crimes they commit.

Just a reminder: Tillis persuaded the woman Hegseth allegedly raped to come forward with her story, and told her that if she did, it would sink the nomination. She did. At great risk to herself. Tillis then cast the deciding vote for Hegseth. Because he’s a goddamned coward.

63/50 I finally got around to seeing GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN, DON'T DIE! I love a time travel story, and this movie is fun and weird from start to finish. I think it needed more structure and discipline, but the message is good, and Sam Rockwell rocks! #FilmSky #2026Movies
Good Luck Have Fun Don't Die

Sam Rockwell is wearing a plastic poncho and is strapped with bombs. He's in a diner and surrounded by screaming people. 

3 Stars.

A fun time travel movie with lots of cool moments, but that needs a little more discipline.

Oct. 3, 1926: The American Federation of Labor puts its weight behind a five-day, eight-hour week for all workers a little over a week after Henry Ford set the schedule for all his workers. AFL chief William Green says a five-day workweek is needed “because of the strain” of modern industry.

Economist analysis of more than 3,000 US counties finds that in reliably GOP counties, annual deaths now exceed births by 0.4 per 1k residents, while in reliably Democratic counties, births exceed deaths by 2.8 per 1k. Population growth in the GOP counties is largely driven by internal migration.

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

61/50 I watched PRIMETIME, the new film about To Catch a Predator. It's a great performance from Pattinson, and Merritt Wever is also superb. I would have liked the film to have a little stronger positionality, but it is certainly thought provoking and insightful. #Primetime #2026Movies #FilmSky

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.
When the Department of Homeland Security sent Nevada a list of 185 names last month that it claimed identified noncitizens who had been improperly allowed to register to vote, state election officials got to work.
On Tuesday, the state sent a strongly worded rebuke to the federal government: Every single person on the list was a lawful citizen.
"As for the 185 individuals, our records indicate that they were citizens," Greg D. Ott, a deputy attorney general in Nevada, wrote, according to a copy of a letter sent to Department of Homeland Security officials obtained through open records requests.
"You have provided nothing of substance to suggest otherwise."Following the meeting, Ms. Vogt sent a clarifying email to Nevada officials. "I also wanted to be sure I clarified that we did not reduce the 15,903 to 185," she wrote. "We've manually reviewed some of the 15,903 and confirmed 185 are not U.S. Citizens."
Now, Nevada officials are saying even that 185 number is wrong. They also took issue with a letter D.H.S. sent them in early September, in which the agency reiterated its initial claims about nearly 16,000 noncitizens on the rolls and pressured state officials to review each case in a letter to Nevada officials in early September.

oraymw @oraymw.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
So if you want an indulgence for your transphobia donation, pay $6 directly to a trans person per episode. If you don't know one, you can donate to a charity, but that is less effective, so it will cost you $12 per episode. If that seems like a lot, then you can't afford to watch it.

oraymw @oraymw.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
If you're planning to do it anyway, then what you're really asking is how much an indulgence will cost you. Fine. You pay $11 a month for an HBO subscription. There are four episodes a month. You are donating almost $3 an episode to a transphobia fundraiser. I'll charge you double for indulgence.
