The Milo stuff is the perfect picture of fascism. You think you're protected because you go as big as you can on racism, you spend years harassing the movement's perceived enemies, you even disavow your own sexuality. They'll still throw you in a cage over the tiniest disagreement already forgotten.

Bluesky! Listen, the world is terrible and everything is falling apart, but you can do one good right thing by adopting kitties from the awesome Crits For Cats cat rescue (Elkton, MD), like bonded kitten brothers Hans and Franz or silly, charming cuddlebug Elena! Or helping spread the word!
Two adorable buff/light orange kittens sitting together on a bed or couch, looking intently with big ol’ kitten ears.Gray/brown tabby cat lying on her back/side doing that cat thing where they twist themselves into weird positions that look like they couldn’t possibly be comfortable, looking up with one eye open and the other squinting…

Still can't believe they immediately put the officers who killed Pretti back in the field. Even if the shooting had been justified (it wasn't), it's just incredibly callous and reckless -- to the public, but also to the officers themselves. Just a sociopathic dearth of humanity.

The letter from Bill and Hillary Clinton to James Comer explaining their refusal to testify in his Epstein investigation is really remarkable, not like any letter of this genre I've seen. It's signed by them, not a lawyer, and the arguments are not legal ones. Reprinted from their X account:

We are far past the stage of permissiveness with white-supremacist violence inside DHS. We are witnessing ICE transition into a death squad. This cannot be reformed. The only question is who will fight to abolish it, and who will accommodate it instead.

Either ICE Is Abolished or It Will Kill Many More Renee Goods
Minnesota is just the beginning of ICE's transformation into a right-wing death squad. But it can be the end

They don't have capacity to terrorize more than 2-3 cities at a time. Which means they rotate teams to new cities without relief. Which means consistent resistance by fresh activists in each new city will break them over time. Which means if you're city's not occupied, rest up and get ready.

If Vince Guaraldi had known the actual A Charlie Brown Christmas assignment: "Compose iconic score that people will love forever," he could have been intimidated. Instead, "Write music for weird show CBS might not even air" probably freed him up to do his best work.

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing. All from his movies.

The last panel of an old Doonesbury strip with Uncle Duke and his assistant MacArthur, bith wearing shorts and short sleeved shirts, standing calf deep in the ocean. Despite the fact they're in American Samoa, it is snowing. Duke says "In a reasonable man, MacArthur, so i know this isn't snow." MacArthur replies "pay it no mind, Excellency, it never sticks."
