Fort Madison, just over the Mississippi River. Though I'm told there's a movement to rename it "Fort Treasonous Slaveowner".

Rewatching By Dawn's Early Light this evening, one of the all time best cold war oopsiedoodle movies. I put it up w/ Failsafe & The Day After (though not quite in Dr. Strangelove Territory). It was on HBO in the early 90's and then just kind of disappeared. Anyone other than me remember this one?

Oh hey! This has been delayed so long for various reasons I almost went a whole month without realizing! The paperback for Miss Atomic 1962 is available now! 😃It's about a struggling magician and the ghost of a showgirl working together for fame, fortune, and love. 😁 www.amazon.com/dp/1967304017

Happy to report that right-wing radio is only about 20% shitting on minorities these days. The rest is damage control for whatever stupid thing the president did the day before, as he falls deeper and deeper into narcissistic collapse.

This morning I saw a claim that trans women have "taken" 900 medals and championships from cis women (no, those are not the terms they used, how did you know?). I did something I don't usually do: I went to the TERF source.

"No American should be told that their political beliefs make them responsible for hatred or violence directed against them." Nearly choked on my coffee when I read that. Now do Dems who smugly observe that queer people invited their own destruction by putting pronouns in e-mails.

That's a deeply unfair analysis. They're not PRO-genocide in general. They just have no strong opinions about the genocide of certain people. Vote blue no matter who, y'all.

A major plot point in my leftist-supervillain origin story came in 2009. Dems had a 60-vote supermajority in the senate for something like 6 months. When they unexpectedly lost it in a MA special election, there were stories about how RELIEVED Democratic senators were at not having to pass the ACA.

Interesting, too, that some of the same Democrats who've cited uncooperative media to excuse their limp messaging, now believe it's out of bounds to entice media cooperation. Some days it feels like the leading voices in the Democratic party are all allergic to having agency.
