The book is perfect technology. It doesn’t need a battery, it interfaces directly with my brain engaging the “imagination.” It’s portable. It’s sturdy. What more could you need?

Portland Oregon Masto Meatup - if you're in #PDX and you're desperate to meet some other weirdos from your daily feeds, this will be your last possible chance to do so until the next one.

We're thinking Hawthorn District, Quarter World, Sunday the 1st of February. Late afternoon or evening, i imagine. I'm told it's loud, so you'll probably find me wherever cheap cigarettes are being smoked.

Confirmed are like, five people. This number would be best if it were bigger

Feel free to boost, add tags, or otherwise help us 'wing it'.

bert: ernie, i keep thinking about that dumb thing i said to maria last week. and then i start thinking about all the OTHER dumb things i've ever said

ernie: ooh, you're doing the thing! the suffering thing

bert: the WHAT thing?

ernie: see, bert, there's pain - that's when you stub your toe. but then there's suffering - that's when you stub your toe and spend three hours mad at the coffee table, the floor, gravity and yourself for having feet

bert: i KNEW feet were a mistake

ernie: the buddha called it the second arrow, bert! first arrow is the ouch. second arrow is all the stories you tell yourself ABOUT the ouch, bert

bert: so the dumb thing i said was arrow one

ernie: and the three a.m. replay marathon is arrow two! you're just shooting yourself over and over, bert. with your brain

bert: how do i stop?

ernie: you notice you're holding the bow

bert: that's it?

ernie: that's a lot, bert! most people don't even know they're armed

bert: so i just put down the bow?

ernie: or at least stop aiming at yourself. the coffee table's not coming after you. maria probably forgot. and your feet are doing their best

bert: my feet ARE doing their best

The Dutch version of the BBC (very simply put) has started consistently stating in every article about Trump that he has a history of lying and saying nonsense. It's really satisfying.

"President Trump, who often lies, said that..."

It's a small thing, but it cheers me up.

@NicksWorld @rooktallon the definition of a writer is not "someone who has published a book" or "someone who gets advances" (most writers don't) or even "someone who writes novels". It's "someone who writes", and nothing more.

The people in #WritersCoffeeClub work in a variety of mediums including fanfic, poetry, comics, nonfiction, short stories, novels and games. Some of us are pros, some are hobbyists.

We'll spend the weekend mulling over decade-old emails instead of the fact that Democrats agreed to fund ICE for two more weeks while surrendering their leverage by allowing the rest of the bill to pass.

The center-left better never talk about media literacy ever again. 🫠

Republicans and Democrats reach funding package deal, US president says:

"Trump added: “Republicans and Democrats in Congress have come together to get the vast majority of the Government funded until September, while at the same time providing an extension to the Department of Homeland Security"

You know how I knew Democrats caved on ICE? Because more Epstein lore dropped today.

@cstross

The book is perfect: It's absurd, the cover is ridiculous, and it's free, so we're not giving Amazon any money.
redditors have already pushed the book high: It's currently the 15th result when you search "Melania Trump." That's crazy. 2 days ago it wasn't even on the first page. With a little more push, we can keep this moving up the charts. We just need people to:
"Buy" the book (it's free)
Share this post and get other people to buy the book. {MORE}

Get in. We're messing up Melania's Amazon search results
This weekend, Amazon is premiering its $40 million Melania Trump documentary. It already seems to be a flop.
But we're going to take it one step further by messing up Melania's Amazon search results. Specifically, we're going to amplify the paranormal erotic thriller novel Melania: Devourer of Men so it ranks higher than her movie. {MORE}

MN Judge: "ICE has violated nearly 100 court orders."

ICE Fascists: "We're acting on orders of DHS Secretary Kristy Noem."

Kristi Noem: "Everything I've done, I've done at the direction of the president and Stephen."

Nuremberg Trials: "I was just following orders is not a valid defense to criminal behavior.'

Abolish ICE. Impeach Noem. Prosecute every illegal action by this regime.

Anything less is unacceptable.

Republicans are literally dismantling US democracy in front of us & the US media is glaringly, obviously inadequate to the task of covering it, so they all just desperately want to return to the equilibrium, where they all shit on Biden, all nod at one another, all celebrate one another's bravery.

The national press desperately misses having Biden around to beat up, so they are vowing to make the 2028 Dem primary all about Biden ... and having the gall to pretend that it's *voters* who want this.

That clip of Hannah Spencer shows a major difference between genuine grassroots politics and stage-managed BS.

Compare the stilted 'they aren't actors but they are trying to act' versus the honest humanity of the speakers.

Compare the "applaud now / cheer now" reactions of the right wing audience of a Lab/Con/LD/Refash/etc. and the crowd reactions there.

I expect attacks on:

* Her accent
* Her heritage
* Her looks / fashion / femininity

The RW press will be tearing through the image searches for her looking like an actual working person and they will probably find something that just reinforces her credentials and try to present it as negative.

It's interesting to hear lib-Bluesky discuss today's general strike, while congruently, tech-YouTube is discussing how weather-YouTube is suddenly scaring people about the weather.

Today, some folks are protesting with their wallets, while a presumably similar amount of people are stocking up on *extra* food and supplies.

This could be a coincidence, or market manipulation. Either way, maybe it's time to consider a new strategy?
