BLM Announces Plan to Fell Oregon's Last Great Forests
There's a kind of forest in western Oregon that you feel before you understand. The BLM just gave the timber industry permission to tear it all down.

Yuuuuup. Also, I don't give a shit if some of the worst people in the world think I am being performative or am virtue signaling. Fuck 'em. They don't get to tell me how to be. Anyway, trans rights are human rights, y'all. It's not complicated.

Hey #dragoncon folks! Some wonderful person bought all of this merch from the Crow Time table and then accidentally left it at a booth near us. It was turned into Lost and Found then over to me. If you are missing your swag and can verify the purchase, please DM me so I can mail it back to you!
A comic, four stickers, a pin and a patch.

#DragonCon2025 So volunteers get access to a couple hidey-holes on the convention grounds, and I’m just so tired today that, after the 10 o’clock Muppet Mayhem panel, I’ve been hanging out in one of them reading a book. Almost finished!
A chair.  Placed in the chair is a thigh rig bag and a copy of System Collapse by Martha Wells.  A backpack, heavy with enamel pins, sits half open on the ground.

Got woken up at 4:30 this morning and had nothing better to do besides wait out a tornado.
A screenshot of some text.

“Hi, this is Anthony Gilberti of Peachtree City, GA, zip code 30269, currently calling you from inside my scenic bathroom.  It’s a small, windowless room in my 3rd floor apartment, and is probably the safest one available to me during a tornado warning, like the one Peachtree City’s currently under.  This warning, this attempt to keep me safe, was issued by the NOAA, one of the many government agencies that Trump and Musk are trying to gut.  If the (Representative/Senator) was looking for what direct impacts cutting funding for government agencies could have, well, I can definitely think of one right about now.
“Thank you for listening to my concerns.”

Senator Schatz, @schatz.bsky.social, rejects idea that Dems should wait for Trump to touch 'most popular' programs to fight. "I'm not going to just wait until they touch the ACA. That's the kind of pundit-brain, poll-tested bullshit that got us into this mess." www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a...
You are referring to them criticizing what you’ve done around U.S.A.I.D. by saying foreign aid is not good territory for Democrats to fight for?
Yeah. And you think I don’t know that foreign aid is not as popular as Medicaid? Of course I know that. But there are going to be mass deaths from malaria and H.I.V./aids and other preventable diseases and conditions because of what the United States is doing. So do I have to be thoughtful and sometimes clever about how we go about communicating that? Yes. Am I going to wait for a more popular program? No, because what they are doing here is ignoring a federal law.
Which federal law are you talking about?
The Foreign Assistance Act, and then, of course, every appropriations bill that funds the State Department and foreign-ops budget. They’re ignoring multiple federal laws. And I’m just—excuse me for being quaint about this—but I’m not going to just gloss over that and wait until they touch the Affordable Care Act. That’s the kind of pundit-brain, poll-tested bullshit that got us into this mess. We are constantly being told that something isn’t polling well enough yet. And one of the things that Republicans do well is not allow their pollsters to tell them everything. They invent whole stories and then the polling follows.

finally a reasonable take
Liberals and the left do not need the right to
be online in the way that the right needs
liberals and the left. The nature of reactionary
politics demands constant confrontations-
literal reactions- to the left. People like Rufo
would have a substantially harder time trying
to influence opinions on a platform without
liberals. "Triggering the libs" sounds like a
joke, but it is often essential for segments of
the right. This explains the popularity of some
X accounts with millions of followers, such as
Libs of TikTok, whose purpose is to troll
liberals.
The more liberals leave X, the less value it
offers to the right, both in terms of cultural
relevance and in opportunities for trolling.

I still think that my favorite urban legend/folklore fact is that there are certain areas in New Orleans where you cannot get a taxi late at night not because it isn't safe, but because taxi companies have had recurring problems of picking up ghosts in those areas who are not aware that they are dead and disappearing from the cab before reaching the destination and therefore stiffing the driver on the fare causing a loss for the company.
