“I don’t think being good at things is the point of doing them.” — KURT VONNEGUT

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.

I’d love to know who this fiery, patriotic young woman is, so I could follow her social media or Substack. This is EXACTLY how the fuck we should all be feeling about the corrupt, criminal regime that’s infested the White House. This shit has to end. And people like this woman will lead the way.

No one riots quite like the French.

I have an iPhone13 which I’ve had for about a year and a half. I use it to make calls and emails, and obviously BlueSky. That’s pretty much it. My phone updated last night and now it’s almost unusable. I’ve had to restart it three times as the phone keeps locking up on me. Thanks Apple.

Reminder that Burrow has good politics.

The minimum wage in 2002 was $5.15 per hour. The minimum wage in 2026 is $7.25 per hour. Wages have gone up 40.78% in 24 years. Costs have gone up 275.19% during those 24 years. This is why people are becoming poorer.

🤬🤬🤬

There’s a chance you’re getting ripped off at the grocery store. My name is Clayton Tucker. I’m running for TX Ag Commissioner to stop the corporations from ripping you off. Please make a plan to vote, and like, follow, and share this video! #food #groceries #texas #prices

I don’t understand why rich people touting that they are self-funding their political campaign is a huge selling point. I don’t want someone who was successful (or lucky) in making money decide policy for me. I want someone who has been in public service for many years to be my representative.

The internet owes you this.

From @PeterBerezinBCA... Thanks in part to the expensing of data center investment, corporate tax revenues are plunging... The corporate tax rate will be a big 2028 issue, I think @soberlook thedailyshot.com/sub...

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

😩😩😩

dude is a natural

Travis Kelce likes a post by a guy who jokes about cutting his wife, Taylor Swift’s head off, she goes onto release cute new photos of them, the media picks the photos and ignores the warning signs. It is like a bad movie.

Why is it that it’s the people with no power that stand up for what’s right? While the people that do have power mouth words that mean nothing and hope it all blows over?

Trying to watch the White Sox vs the Guardians. Went to the MLB channel, but they said it’s on HBO MAX. Went to Prime, where HBO MAX is, and HBO MAX said that I needed to subscribe to some other fucking thing. FUCK MLB. FUCK HBO MAX. Fuck American sports. Good night.

So proud of this kid.

Look, adults are adults and they will do stupid things if they can afford it. And everyone wants to look young forever. I get it. But if we are going to shame trans kids as mentally suspect can we start discussing the mental well-being of these rich folks who do things like this to themselves?

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 30, the number is 98.5%.

BREAKING: For the first time in 10 months, the U.S. admitted a refugee who is not a white South African. In September, the U.S. admitted 3,386 white South Africans and two Afghans (in D.C.) In FY 2026, the U.S. has admitted a total of 16,287 white South Africans, five Afghans, and nobody else.

How did Sen Eric Schmitt get texts from the DOJ employees who worked for Jack Smith??

this is the fridge of a person who doesn’t prepare a single meal

Lucille Ball is the Godmother of #StarTrek. As head of Desilu Studios, she overrode her own board of directors to finance the show & convinced network executives to greenlight a second pilot after the first one failed. That second pilot, "Where No Man Has Gone Before," first aired #OTD in 1966. 🖖

This is NOT about market-driven inflation. When corporations saw what we were willing spend during COVID, the kept those prices as the new starting point and inflated from there to pad their profits. And we haven’t had any help from DOJ or any political party to reverse that.

Christening a baby is nothing like christening a ship. I know that now. Once again I can only apologise.

This is disgusting, horrible and disrespectful, but I hadn't expected anything else from Trump….

john fetterman is the first rat in history to climb onto a sinking ship.
