Be kind.

I miss Buffy sometimes. I have a new gee-kid, he's just 12. When he's 14, we'll share the only-when-together blood oath and watch Buffy from beginning to end.

If preventing a shutdown is so desperately important to Senate Democrats, I just have a fairly straightforward question: why are they letting DOGE -- an operation expressly designed to shut down government all across our country -- say and do whatever it wants?

Alt-text or it didn't happen.

@skinnylatte Bad Adrianna, no biscuit!

@skinnylatte A reasonably good question.

@kaia @futurebird Welllllllll. Myrmie, my friend, has 18,000 followers here, deservedly. I, a lesser figure, have 5k and change followers.

Can't speak for her, but I can for me. I had five times as many followers on Twitter -- it was Twitter when I was there, not X -- and I got a fifth of the actual engagement, and five times the mean-spirited drive-bys I get here.

@skinnylatte Are they headed home tonight?

Concept: I'll just go grab the latest season of Resident Alien or Slow Horses, and when Apple TV comes for me, a team of a dozen $400/hr lawyers will swoop in from Meta to defend me pro bono.

Yeaaaaaaah, *That's* the ticket.

"See, it's okay to *take*, it's just not okay to *give*."

So Meta says it's okay to torrent if you don't seed.

Interesting. I wonder how music, game, and film producers feel about that?

Honestly, tho I doubt anyone at Meta would even understand the allusion, these people remind me of nothing so much as the vicious lying buffoon villains of Dickens.

They make Smallweed seem almost likable.

And another reminder: these people are not incompetent. Were they trying to govern, yes, they would be incompetent governors.

They are not trying to govern.

They are trying to rule, beyond any notion of our 250 year long attempt at self-governance.

Their mission isn't to govern, it's to destroy democracy. They have *said* this, and they are *doing* it.

Y'all called us alarmists.

I don't understand why every single paper or website in America doesn't have a headline: "President Lies About Origins of Ukraine War".

Above the fold. In 48pt type.

Republicans are traitors.

I just fucking hate saying this.

But I said what I said.

Oh, goodness.

Hard to keep myself non-violent, hard to keep myself from hate.

Hard to keep myself.

This is a coup. Resist, my sibs.

And so but anyway, did I ever tell you about the time I took ~30 hits of blotter and spent the night in jail?

@kims That fucking album, tho. Incident on 57th street.

@kims And *that* is why we are friends.

Thank you!

@kims And my cars a dud it's stuck in the mud somewhere in the swamps of Jersey.

To play loud, we must always begin with the root of 20th century pop,

Listen to this *cadenza*, never really re-created since, the sound of a person standing up on their hind legs and blowing.

Then wait through the breaks, and hear the most astonishing duet, between a singer and an instrument.

Play it *loud*, so you can hear it.
