I love that Koenig was such a nerd that he slipped a reference to The Prisoner into Babylon 5

Whether it's Democrats using a police gym to play basketball or Republicans imprisoning people without due process and sending them to black sites, both sides abuse police resources to achieve their goals.

- It’s not over until it’s over: research only showed Lula reaching a mathematical tie with Bolsonaro less than 48h before polls opened. A campaign must remain strong until the moment polls close. Do not lose steam. Do not let bots and clever far-right peons online demotivate you from your fight.

- Give a voice to young people: incentivise under-24s to get into politics, find new leaderships that can speak to the disillusioned youth that is often targeted by extremism. These elections have shown the rise of key young politicians like Érika Hilton, Rick Azevedo, Ana Elisa and Jones Manoel.

so long and thanks for all the 'fix

Why does this Sesame Street toy look like Grover is reenacting Poe's The Cask of Amontillado

Here we see someone wearing a cloak WITH FIBULAE, era appropriate at last, but A) This means it had no excuse to give everyone else celtic brooches, and B) The man next to him is wearing a "cloak" that is actually a sack with a hole for his head as some kind of mantle.

… Also, not to be too nerdy and pedantic, but in the interview Bessent said that Obama’s library looks like “Darth Vader’s tomb,” when obviously Vader’s body was burned at the end of ROTJ, and the proper comparison is with Darth Vader’s Fortress on Mustafar.

we are governed by never nudes smdh

Bluesky has four kinds of users

David Cronenberg’s character in Star Trek Discovery reveals he’s a time traveler who has been many people throughout history. Therefore every time we see him on screen, he’s the same guy. Including the geneticist in Jason X.

every fawning profile of an AI innovator in the NYT is just a future essay in The Cut about why kids no longer talk to their parents

This drives me CRAZY. I grew up playing sports w/ boys. I played on a U12 boys select soccer team, b4 switching to a U12 girls team that kept beating us. Nobody had any issue with any of it. Youth sports have never had the strict sex/gender boundaries that “XX-XY” activists are now trying to defend.

Jared’s phone is what they hoped Hunter’s laptop would be. Or perhaps they knew this story was coming and were trying to deflect from it all this time. Bravo Netherlands 🇳🇱 Bravo Albania 🇦🇱 #Voices4Victory #Pinks

I think one of the best aspects of this story is just how *average* the cop is. This is pretty much what most cops are like. They believe they are doing a good job.

Also the founder (Overton?) is a mystic and a cult member and some of the interior design is intentional for reasons related to that.

New w @pamherd.bsky.social: Trump's Bribe State is a mix of empty promises and real benefits. But watch how automation is used: to buy votes, or allow billionaires to buy off dissent via Trump accounts, even as Trump has made automation harder for Mediciad. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/automating...

I may not know what H3 Productions is, and I may only have ever been dragged to a Cheesecake Factory against my will by people I never should have worked for, but I do know that California is one of the most car-brained locations on earth and the source of basically every consumer trend in cars ever

"The party left me. I used to be a Democrat, but know that Obama has made fun of Trump for making the White House look like a dictator designed an over-the-top chain restaurant I favor starving African children and bringing measles back"

Haha Yojimbo youtu.be/InarxeMmgfw?...

Birds of feather

You're not doing shit.

stumbled on a set of incredible 1970s illustrations in some government reports, so had to spend a day collecting them into a website to share with my friends on the computer: nickseaver.net/paperwork

Trade policy???

In Heidi Klum voice: one minute you’re in, the next minute, you’re out.

The best way to understand this is a guy dressed in black leather and a katana arguing with a guy dressed up in black ops tactical gear holding a heavy machine gun that should be in a tripod

Idk i tried

I think we found the worst animated thing ever

There was a fucking hole in our planet’s *atmosphere* Like a legit, no joke, “this will unravel our entire ecosystem” hole in the world, and then we fixed it by working together across national and political lines As a species we decided, “we will survive” Let’s do that some more

The amount of bloviating about how it was so clear that he was plagiarizing to the point of killing this man just to find absolutely nothing...again.

Not for nothing, there are few things as radicalizing as getting involved in childhood hunger issues. Once you realize how cheap it is to feed kids in need, how valuable it is to do so, and how often in the US we just choose not to do so, you get passionate about the issue fast.

There is *so* much less air pollution in big cities.
