While I don't like calling my pets my children, I do call them babies. Because they are cute little babies. I'm not their mother though. I'm just some renegade who snatched them off the street. 🤣

Line of the night. Also, Collins keeps bringing up Hasan Piker, and I can tell you from personal experience looking that not one person in 20 in Georgia could identify Piker with a gun to their head.

We have reached the place where Ukraine is justified in attacking an American oil tanker at a Russian fuel port, using American munitions, to prevent a diesel sale in US dollars that would be used to fund the purchase of Russian weapons that might predictably be used against Ukraine or NATO allies.

Trump strikes deal with Putin to supply Russian diesel to U.S. and global markets

President Donald Trump has few options to reduce diesel prices given the destruction done to refineries by the wars in Eastern Europe and the Middle East.

CEO Lorraine Cochran-Johnson just cold-called half of DeKalb County in Georgia to an online town hall meeting about voting in the midterms. As in, there's a town hall, right now, and you're joining it live in progress unless you hang up. Something like 40,000 people stayed on the call.

The rush to accuse, without anything approaching due diligence, artists of using "AI," should be treated with contempt. An artist gets their work *ripped off* to train a plagiarism machine, which then shits out inferior versions of that work, so then you accuse the artist of using "AI"? Fuck you.

I write about democracy. I have been following the president's public comments about elections closely. At a recent rally, he told his followers to "cheat like hell." We've been looking for some grand plot at the top to interfere with the midterms. Suppose it's simpler than that. Pardons. Again.

One of the ways that being a writer and going to graduate school has ruined me for pop culture: I HATE trope-y formulaic plot structures and empty characterizations. Why do these two characters loathe each other? No real reason, because it's enemies-to-lovers and real reasons might get in the way.

ICE is arresting a record number of pregnant women and teenagers, according to government documents obtained by the Guardian. At the same time, the agency appears to have lost count of how many suffered a miscarriage. 🧵

Two charts side by side. The first shows the number of pregnant people in ICE detention, which peaks in November 2025. The second shows the number of miscarriages recorded by ICE, until October 2025, when ICE said it has no updated information on the number of miscarriages.

Rape is a crime and you can't state that someone is guilty of a crime in the newspaper unless they have been convicted in a court of law. For reasons I hope are obvious. I agree that they should be saying minors or children rather than "young women" or "underage women."
