I have a new op-ed out in The Daily Beast about why Kevin McCarthy is losing the speaker vote so badly, and although I'm a little harsh on him (okay, pretty harsh), I don't think I'm wrong.

5 January 1858 | A Hungarian Jew, Yakow Heizler, was born in Apostag. He was a soldier. During the war he lived in Ujpest.
In June 1944 he was deported to Auschwitz and murdered in a gas chamber.
One of some 430,000 Hungarian Jews deported to Auschwitz. Learn about their fate: http://lekcja.auschwitz.org/en_6_dep_zydow/

Ok turns out I couldn't just leave it at that other picture π
I keep saying journalists should leave Twitter and use Mastodon, which is better for them in every way. At TechDirt I've posted a somewhat lengthy why-and-how: https://www.techdirt.com/2023/01/04/journalists-and-others-should-leave-twitter-heres-how-they-can-get-started/

The CongressCritters who led tours through the Capital building, with the next day's insurrectionists in tow, should be in jail, too.

OH - be still my beating heart!π
Oh, btw: I bought johnmastodon.com.
I think I'm going to use it as a Mastodon server recommendation site. I'm imagining "John Mastodon" as a clippy-style avatar to help you pick a server.
@aks_blue @AdamParkhomenko If 9 Repugs vote 'present' or leave, Jeffries' 212 votes will make him Speaker.
It's a long shot, but it's a shot
So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
