Read 180 books last year and chose randomly form my 5⭐️ ratings to add to my Top 10 List for the year. I loved the vast majority of what I read and can't wait to crack open some new great books in 2026!

Episode 5 of Heated Rivalry is such an incredible piece of art for so many reasons that I'm, quite frankly, too emotional to process. Just such a treat. Bless the gay hockey show 🙏🏻

If you want to push back against tech's encroachment into every corner of our lives, you have to read books. They're eager to create a future in which most people are illiterate and hooked on slop, a world without imagination or knowledge. Reading is resistance.

The most striking thing about the LA protests is how many people just dropped everything to show up and yell at federal agents. There are people in suits, and carrying dogs, and wearing flip flops or bike helmets. These are not people who planned to do this today. But there they are.

User Zachary Berger recommends the following script: "I'm a constituent in the congressperson's district.
Al regulation is life or death for a lot of the Congressperson's constituents in creative industries, please make sure the section in the budget reconciliation bill banning Al regulation doesn't pass."
User Karla Ortiz gives information on the bill so you can point your senators where to look: 


Call your representatives! Tell them just yesterday (R) Congressman Guthrie added a new text to the Budget Reconciliation bill to BAN GenAi regulation in the states for 10 years!
Hell, point
them to the specific section:
TITLE IV-ENERGY AND
COMMERCE (Part II: Al section, (c) moratorium)

RFK HAS MADE IT THROUGH COMMITTEE. CALL YOUR SENATORS:

YOU: Hi, my name is [name], and I’m calling from [zip code]. 

YOU: I’m calling on [SENATOR] to vote against RFK Jr.’s nomination to HHS when it comes to the floor. His stance on vaccines and non-medical science is dangerous, and will absolutely cause medical harm. 

YOU: Is [SENATOR] really okay with someone this inexperienced running such a sensitive position? What will [SENATOR] do, when we have outbreaks all across the country and the next pandemic? All of this comes at a cost. 

YOU: I am calling on [ SENATOR] to reject his nomination when the vote comes tot he floor.

YOU: [ADD MORE/PERSONALIZE/CLARIFY IF YOU WANT A RESPONSE]
