🚨 Synchronicity 🚨

I happened to *very randomly* pick up House of Day, House of Night at the library yesterday while getting tax forms. It was on the shelf with new releases; I had never heard of the author before but was merely drawn in by the blurb.

Fast forward 24 hours to today's x-word puzzle.

The answer to this question turns on the nature of the substance imo. Uppers are a terrible idea. (It's hard to say whether meth or coke would be a greater torture.)

But opiates? Benzos? Barbiturates? Ketamine?

Consumer sentiment just crashed below the level where we were when people were queueing at ATMs on Sunday nights because there were rumors about BoA shutting its doors.

This administration saying that it’s unfair to link people in the Epstein files to Epstein, are the same people saying that donating to a mutual aid fund or appearing at a protest is sufficient to get you prosecuted as a domestic terrorist. bsky.app/profile/nytimes.com/post/3mj3hy2qzwb2o

After we rid ourselves of the fascist interlopers, after we radically reform our institutions to prevent another infiltration, we must see Russia reduced to ash.

Ten years ago today, in April 2016, the Boston Globe printed a satirical front page imagining a future Trump administration. The page was called "alarmist," "hyperbolic," "dystopian." But we’ve put up with so much since then it now looks like . . . a slow Thursday?

It's incredibly fitting that MAGA is fabricating a "midterm convention" (the Volk hunger for another Nuremberg rally!) while Democrats have not seen fit to counter-program "America 250."

In a perverse sort of way, it’s hilarious how whenever anyone is like “bad things are bad,” someone in this administration pops up and is like “LISTEN HERE YOU LITTLE SHIT” in a Cobra Commander voice.

The Israeli monsters have launched a new genocide against Lebanon which they brazenly call "Eternal Darkness."

The gall: "The IDF also added that 'the working assumption ... is that fighting in Iran will be renewed ...."

Iran's 10-point plan — which Trump says is "a workable basis on which to negotiate," which Iranian media says Trump agreed to it — includes:

-An end to Israeli operations in Lebanon
-Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz, including the ~$2m/ship fee.

Katelyn may be a bit more pro-Hasan than I am, but I think she hits the nail squarely on the head here.

(I would have added that the anti-Hasan opp—in addition to shutting down a source of political power for the left—is also intended to bolster the Dem Party's crumbling pro-Israel consensus.)

Did the devs nerf BlueSky so that when you click on "Reposts" it just shows you a list of reposting accounts rather than the actual RTs?

Has anyone seen this discussed? (It seems like the kind of major change that would generate controversy.)

Or am I just trippin?
