tadwilliams.bsky.social @tadwilliams.bsky.social · 03/05/2025Fox has been beating the "wife-beater" drum very hard the last several days. Nothing says "civil rights" like trial-by-Fox. Right every time, right? Too right. 040
tadwilliams.bsky.social @tadwilliams.bsky.social · 16/03/2025I'm still here. We've been dog-wrangling, which has taken up a surprising amount of time since New Year's, trying to integrate a new dog with our old dog, and so far it's been difficult. I'll be posting more soon. I'm still reading what people have to say and watching the passing show. 1511
tadwilliams.bsky.social @tadwilliams.bsky.social · 21/01/2025No offense taken. Personally, I wouldn't have written such a depressing story. 040
tadwilliams.bsky.social @tadwilliams.bsky.social · 19/01/2025So the only person of any note who's going to pay a price for the attempt to steal the election of 2020 and overthrow democracy is Rudy Giuliani? The system works, right? Right? 5480
tadwilliams.bsky.social @tadwilliams.bsky.social · 03/01/2025It's always entertaining how quickly the Quislings and Petains of this world hurry to out themselves as soon as the wind shifts. 020
tadwilliams.bsky.social @tadwilliams.bsky.social · 03/01/2025I still don't understand why anyone would want to own one of the godawful, ugly, farcical things. It just seems like a complicated way of funneling money to Trump. 000
tadwilliams.bsky.social @tadwilliams.bsky.social · 03/01/2025I don't give a shit what she looks like. Looks are unimportant -- Kari Lake is conventionally pretty and she's a screeching, dangerous nutcase. MTG's a monster, and that's what matters. 020
tadwilliams.bsky.social @tadwilliams.bsky.social · 03/01/2025He's a stupid "dick". Who doesn't know how to use "quotes" or CAPITALIZATION. 030
tadwilliams.bsky.social @tadwilliams.bsky.social · 03/01/2025Sadly, these people cannot be shamed. It started a long time back, and we keep trying to point out their consistent and staggering hypocrisy, and the fools who keep voting for them ignore it, or rewrite reality to something more palatable to them. 010
tadwilliams.bsky.social @tadwilliams.bsky.social · 03/01/2025That Orange Man attempts to make the death and national honors for a 100 year old, much-loved ex-president about him. What a surprise. 0251
tadwilliams.bsky.social @tadwilliams.bsky.social · 01/01/2025I feel bad "liking" such a catalog of obvious racism and right-wing double standards, and I also feel a bit pointless considering that the people who voted in the bastards don't care about truth or hypocrisy, but I'm doing it anyway. Keep telling the truth. It can't hurt. 090
tadwilliams.bsky.social @tadwilliams.bsky.social · 01/01/2025Happy New Year. May it be a much better year than many of us are expecting (dreading) and full of excellent surprises. I love you all, to the very best of my ability and energy. But I'll need some help -- it's a big world. 2824
tadwilliams.bsky.social @tadwilliams.bsky.social · 30/12/2024Maybe he can, but when he ports in the new knowledge it removes his memory of the names of his kids. 020
tadwilliams.bsky.social @tadwilliams.bsky.social · 30/12/2024Seems to me the military hasn't earned a profit in years. What happened to conquest and pillage? We should be melting down the treasures of our defeated foes and handing out the spoils to the populace. And turning the laments of their women into hilarious YouTube remixes. 070
tadwilliams.bsky.social @tadwilliams.bsky.social · 30/12/2024Yeah, but then you have to write the next one. And the one after that. And so on. 020
tadwilliams.bsky.social @tadwilliams.bsky.social · 22/12/2024A serious one: Rild, from Zelazny's LORD OF LIGHT. 110
tadwilliams.bsky.social @tadwilliams.bsky.social · 21/12/2024The Blue Fairy told me that if I read to people, someday I may become a real boy. Sunday 1am and 7pm, PST, I will be continuing to read The Martian Chronicles. Recorded readings of mostly my own work can be found at: www.youtube.com/@chrisfab4mr... It's free. No salesman will call. 1362
tadwilliams.bsky.social @tadwilliams.bsky.social · 21/12/2024My response to the "president": you don't have a mandate, you have a mental illness. You already own the title of "worst US president ever" for alienating allies, cuddling with dictators, and letting a million innocents die while you lied about Covid. It will only get worse for you and all of us. 020
tadwilliams.bsky.social @tadwilliams.bsky.social · 21/12/2024God, Elon Musk is a stupid, self-important prick, pimping the AfD (racist party) in Germany. All this because he failed to treat his own trans child properly and thinks she was "radicalized" by Twitter. Because he's rich, everyone in the world has to pay for his godawful parenting and tiny soul. 2554

tadwilliams.bsky.social @tadwilliams.bsky.social · 17/12/2024This one scares me a lot. We have progressed to where an error in polling is now 'lese majesté', and they haven't even taken power yet. I hope the Register fights this all the way to the corrupted Supreme Court, for whatever good it will do. 000
tadwilliams.bsky.social @tadwilliams.bsky.social · 17/12/2024So much for the liberal main stream media. Apparatchik billionaires. What a surprise. 020
tadwilliams.bsky.social @tadwilliams.bsky.social · 12/12/2024So once again we have proved that The System Works! (The system: if you're rich and connected, you're going to be okay and escape all responsibility for anything you do wrong. If you're not, tough @#$%, you lose.) Yay! 1270

tadwilliams.bsky.social @tadwilliams.bsky.social · 06/12/2024I'm tired of giving money to Amazon and Jeff Bezos, especially after he quashed the Post presidential endorsement and seems perfectly thrilled with our new lizard (and fellow billionaire) overlords. Alternative sources of online shopping welcomed. 5332
tadwilliams.bsky.social @tadwilliams.bsky.social · 06/12/2024She doesn't want it so much for things she and they have already done. She wants a pardon in advance for what they're going to do to us all. She's dumb as hell, but she's probably been told about Nuremberg. 010
tadwilliams.bsky.social @tadwilliams.bsky.social · 05/12/2024Here's the big reveal: The internet itself has never made money, but has trained everyone to think everything on it is free. Which just means that ad revenue now runs the world even more than it used to, because you have to pay for things SOMEHOW. We have cut the switch for our own back. 100
tadwilliams.bsky.social @tadwilliams.bsky.social · 05/12/2024Yeah, but educating the masses ain't gonna happen, because the masses keep cheerfully voting for people who will keep them stupid. I may be a lone voice, but I think they're going to have to figure it out for themselves. It may take a century or two, so don't hold your breath. 000
tadwilliams.bsky.social @tadwilliams.bsky.social · 05/12/2024"Democracy dies in darkness . . ." Wait! Where did all the news go? Why are the lights out? What do you mean, the owner is the one who pays the bills? 000
tadwilliams.bsky.social @tadwilliams.bsky.social · 05/12/2024Let us not forget the massive (and intentional) destruction of the entire American leftist ecosystem in the McCarthy Era, so-called. (He was just a face of it. He was loathsome, but it wasn't a "lone gunman" type of crime.) 010
tadwilliams.bsky.social @tadwilliams.bsky.social · 05/12/2024As the oft-circulated post said about national healthcare for all, "Only 32 out of 33 civilized countries have managed this difficult feat." 050
tadwilliams.bsky.social @tadwilliams.bsky.social · 05/12/2024I agree with the sentiment, but you'd better have some intermediary positions available, because otherwise you have to go straight from civility to violence. 110
tadwilliams.bsky.social @tadwilliams.bsky.social · 05/12/2024Man, I wish I noticed that "Follow All" button before I aggravated my inflammation following all those folks separately. 3321
tadwilliams.bsky.social @tadwilliams.bsky.social · 05/12/2024My sword is named "Petula". Is that still okay? I have all the rest. (Lichen really itches.) 010
tadwilliams.bsky.social @tadwilliams.bsky.social · 04/12/2024Yes, but he has a competing offer from the RNC to replace McConnell as Senate leader. 010
tadwilliams.bsky.social @tadwilliams.bsky.social · 04/12/2024Yeah, I'd hang this one around the neck of "the voters", personally. 010
tadwilliams.bsky.social @tadwilliams.bsky.social · 04/12/2024"America has the greatest healthcare in the world!" -- said every dipshit in the world who voted for you-know-who. I'm tired of trying to help ill-informed, self-destructive, Leopards Eating People's Faces Party folks. They'll have to swim in their own filth for a while. 000
tadwilliams.bsky.social @tadwilliams.bsky.social · 04/12/2024Gee. America elected monsters. Who saw THAT coming? 000
tadwilliams.bsky.social @tadwilliams.bsky.social · 04/12/2024We all feel better knowing this. Not worried at all. 000
tadwilliams.bsky.social @tadwilliams.bsky.social · 04/12/2024Hey, we armed and helped radicalize Bin Laden. Why do we have to start thinking all of a sudden? Not fair. 100
tadwilliams.bsky.social @tadwilliams.bsky.social · 04/12/2024I feel better just knowing that he can quit anytime. 050
tadwilliams.bsky.social @tadwilliams.bsky.social · 27/11/2024I'm not so sure I'm thankful this year. Democracy appears to be slowly losing its mind, and Common Sense is wandering after it, muttering to itself and scratching fitfully. Ah, well. Look, there's stuffing! 5511
tadwilliams.bsky.social @tadwilliams.bsky.social · 23/11/2024Here's a picture of Eddie Haskell (well, Ken Osmond, the Eddie actor) to confirm my status as old and out of it. Enjoy! 1251

tadwilliams.bsky.social @tadwilliams.bsky.social · 22/11/2024I'm taking a weekend off from reading. All of you be good and be good to yourselves. I'll be back next weekend. I'm going to get a couple of extra hours of sleep this week. Suggestions for other things to read always welcome. I literally have barely begun to think about it. 5231
tadwilliams.bsky.social @tadwilliams.bsky.social · 22/11/2024I realized a while ago (decades!) that there are things in my books that aren't always obvious in the first read, but will jump out at a second-time reader. Because I'm all about the web of context, and sometimes it helps to know the story to the end to better recognize the important early bits. 010
tadwilliams.bsky.social @tadwilliams.bsky.social · 22/11/2024Yes, I'm going to do my best here to let people know anything I'm doing that might be of interest. The only limiting factor is my own disorganization. 020
