Put the catnip in the bag and nobody gets hurt, see? #caturday #CatsOfMastodon

Books published by Tor are DRM-free, which I LOVE. Tor eBooks are now the only ones I buy because of this.

Are there any other #SciFi or #Fantasy publishers that publish DRM-free eBooks?

(do not send recs on how to remove DRM; I want to support publishers doing the right thing by their readers and authors, both)

/pls boost for reach?

Reminiscent of the pipe bombs found in D.C. on January 6th. That crime remains unsolved. There is a $500K reward for info that leads to capture/arrest.

Kyrsten Sinema in 2022: Worked with Republicans to destroy voting rights and to protect the Jim Crow filibuster

Kyrsten Sinema today: Sends out an obligatory tweet about Dr. King like she actually gives a shit

Don’t let her get away with this abject fakery

I like to read psychology books under the trees, I hate to admit it, but a little shade and Freud is a guilty pleasure of mine.

#Democrats respond to GOP calls for #DebtCeiling negotiations: No

“In exchange for not crashing the United States economy, you get nothing,” Sen. Brian Schatz said in an interview with The Daily Beast. “You don’t get a cookie. ... You’re just a person doing the bare minimum of not intentionally screwing over your constituents for insane reasons.”

Racism in NYC was a monster just like in the South but it manifested in seen and unseen ways. Schools in NYC, for example are still segregated. Not by law but just by racism. We fought racism in the North also but it had a different flavor. I could relate more to Malcolm X than to Dr. King, which is not to take away from King but to acknowledge folks had their different ways of being and fighting. And as I grew older the King the media created was not one I wanted to identify with. 2/5

2/ Santos “has deeper ties than previously known to a businessman who cultivated close links with a onetime #Trump confidant and who is the cousin of a sanctioned Russian oligarch.

Andrew Intrater and his wife each gave the max $5,800 to Santos’ main campaign committee & tens of 1000s more since 2020 to committees linked to him. Intrater’s cousin is Russian billionaire Viktor Vekselberg, who has been sanctioned by the U.S. government for his role in the Russian energy industry.”

Today’s reminder that the failure of Reconstruction is the central through-line of American politics, from 1877 to 2023.

"What are America's three worst economic policies?"

1. Non-universal health care tied to specific employment

2. Property tax-based financing of public education

3. 95%+ of our trade and immigration restrictions

Checked Twitter three times today and had Ben Shapiro, Elon Musk, Glenn Greenwald (in Portuguese) on top of my forced algorithmic feed. Musk, as owner of Twitter can do whatever he wants to it, but this is one of the most extreme right-wing hacks in social media history.

Might make a couple final tweaks, but I'm pretty happy with this.

I present you: "This is fine", a diorama built from a single piece of paper.

Good night, sleep well 👏

Last one to end the night with. MLRS "Bureviy" is working.
