Wait for it

Just finished decorating the house for Halloween, and am hoping it won’t be TOO scary for the kids.

How strange! Problems like this usually don't happen until the warranties expire www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Good to see the president laser-focused on the issue that matters most to Americans ca.yahoo.com/news/trump-c...

Given Trump's obsession with butts, I wouldn't be surprised if he demands the prop dept at SEINFELD surrender this for his use as the licence plate on the presidential limousine.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Just last month, on Sept. 14, he turned 90, on the same day Brad and I celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary. I will always treasure that he and I shared that date.

Walter was more than Chekov. He was a writer, a teacher, a thoughtful man, and a loyal friend. To the fans who loved him for so many years, thank you. He loved you too. Rest well, my dear friend. Keep navigating a steady course. – George

In addition to all the other tributes, it's worth noting that Walter was not a homophobe, and that he participated in George Takei's (2008) wedding.(George & Brad had been together for many decades prior, but California law did not permit same-sex marriage decades later.) @georgetakei.bsky.social

A recent cartoon by Michael de Adder. If anyone knows about rakish behaviour, it should be him.

A book I've really been looking forward to! Longtime New Yorker magazine cartoonist Paul Noth has just released his first collection of comics. Hundreds of classic and timeless cartoons, providing just the reprieve we need during these anxious times. @paulnoth.bsky.social

His passing takes the landing party down to just Kirk and Sulu.

Walter Koenig has beamed up at age 90. RIP Ensign Chekov.

Probably nothing to worry about, but if it gets any larger or changes shape, I think the moon needs to have it looked at by a professional. nautil.us/this-dark-sp...

Get this kid some help. Now.

"A population too frightened to dissent" This should be read as real cautionary tale for America, given Trump's adulation of Bukele and what he has done. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Just the latest from the Liar-in-Chief. He's been told the tariffs are an issue for voters, but he can't let go of his fantasy that Canada will surrender. Once again, King Dumbass fails to read the room. www.ctvnews.ca/world/trumps...

A fresh perspective on Musk/Starlink issue by a guy worth following. Kevin is an artist who posts regularly on a host of topics. (IOW, not boring.) Progressive, quirky, and just one of those working to keep Bluesky real, and thus warranting support/a follow.

At this point, I am only "a person of interest"— not a "suspect" in the case—and that's an important legal distinction.

Pace yourself, you dirty old horn dog. There'll be plenty of time for this when you're in jail.

Something is seriously broken with a system that allows an old lady to blow this kind of cash on vanity procedure, while kids are denied even basic medical care.

I think at least 2/3 of the world is a suspect. www.dailymail.com/news/article...
