Greetings. Let's begin with the recognition that many of the same tactics of disinformation and trying to splinter off groups so as to make it easier to subject us all to four more years of what has already been are at it again. Which is complemented by the understanding that living in authoritarian rule is not the totalitarian fantasy many associate, but instead much like regular life, with the exception that nothing changes or has the ability to do so, and that doesn't even require targeted killing or other such things, either. Just one-party rule that's been engineered into place using legal arguments, apparatuses, and sympathetic jurists.
And those same one-partiers want to have an attempt at making things more to their own liking. The Notorious R.B.G. is with us no longer, having finally lost the battle with pancreatic cancer at 87 years of fire and strong dissents. (The NPR piece here is long and detailed about the life of Ruth Bader Ginsburg.)
If that's a reality you're trying to avoid, and you have some money, some advice on how to make your political donation be the most effective .
( The bulk of everything )
Last for tonight, A person who makes a living telling the secrets of the recently deceased that they could not say themselves, or in hiding those secrets they would like to remain hidden.
Also, cats with frightened, startled, or indignant looks to themselves and finalists for the Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards.
And the announcement for the new Hyperbole and a Half book, Solutions and Other Problems.
Perhaps most importantly, however, is the comfort fic fest being hosted, with prompts and fills requested, by
sholio.
