Well since it is the new year, I figured a fun projection I could go without the year is something I mentioned before of making a thread of Out of Context screenshots from DC Super Hero Girls G1. Now I don't think I have the focus to do it everyday but I'll try to do it as much as I can.

THIIIIIIIISSSSS!!! It’s why I’m not upset at the horror movie stuff being done with those characters! Once we get the edgy bullshit out of our systems, we’re going to see some AMAZING things done with them! Plus, it’s easy to just NOT watch the movies!

I think the fact that they've been in private ownership for so long is the reason we get the terrible schlock first before anything else. In a world without these lengthy copyright terms, all of that would have been gotten out of our collective systems decades ago.

When RFK Jr said this there hadn’t been an overtly racist public statement made by a Republican in almost twenty minutes so it came as quite a shock.

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

SAY IT LOUDER FOR THOSE IN THE BACK!!!

It's why I get a little antsy when a youtuber dunks is all "I was taken out of it by-" and never "I can imagine even kids wouldn't". Kids dont like being talked down to, but they also actually like tons of cliches and tropes we find tired because THEYRE EXPERIENCING IT FOR THE FIRST TIME.

I grew up hearing every funny Black comic and notable Black political voice condemn "Whitey" in one way or another; and to me it was always PERFECTLY clear that this described "white authorities" and/or "dumb trashy white racists" - since I wasn't either of those things, I laughed too 🤷‍♂️👍

This has always been such a fake, whiny complaint. I'm WHITE white. Born and raised in *Boston.* Ancestor on the ACTUAL Mayflower. I've never ONCE heard even the *angriest* criticism of "white people" from anybody else and felt for even a MOMENT that it was aimed ME - even when it probly was! 🤣

just saw this absolutely cracked ad during the michigan game about how thanks to aoc and ilhan omar, white people can't show their faces in public anymore

This is why I hate the “it has to be subtle!!!” Critique of queer media. The fact that we can’t just say what we are or what the character is is so reductive and constraining to so many queer writers. Don’t let cis people dictate how you show you identity. They don’t know what they’re saying.

When trans creators are subtle, people dismiss the trans subtext as “headcanon.” When trans creators are loud and proud, people call it “obnoxious” and “cringe.” They just don’t want us to be represented in media at all. Because they don’t want us to exist at all.

I cannot tell you how fucking mind-blowing it was when Netflix was like "you can start watching in one room and pick up where you left off in another" like that was cavemen-discovering-fire shit

RIP to a real one and a dude who clearly loved and appreciated doing silly accents.

Plus a gratuitous scene of Walter Koenig doing a Sigmund Freud impression and nailing that Austrian accent like a driver walking a line for a cop after two full bottles of Jim Beam and an eight ball.

Oh this is sad news. When we lose anyone its tragedy, and of course Walter was one of the originals. I had of course heard rumours that he hadn't been well for a while. Our deepest sympathies to Walter's family and friends at this time Walter Koenig - 1936 - 2026 #RIP #NuclearWessels

My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

Rest in peace, Walter Koenig, died aged 89 with his surviving family around him. He had a long and full life, but this is how I first saw him in Star Trek and to me he is forever Ensign Chekov, forever young.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

In a desperate attempt to raise his poll numbers, and take a stand that the overwhelming majority of Americans agree with, Trump is now claiming he too hates Bill Maher.

I saw him on Star Trek, sure. But my favorite role for Walter Koenig was Bester on Babylon 5. A fantastic actor who gave a great deal to science fiction fans. So sorry for his friends and family, but I'm glad he could live a full life. deadline.com/2026/10/walt...

I just found out about Walter Koenig, weird that Star Trek TOS was already on my mind. I know he was brought on to ST to 'appeal to kids,' and for me, it worked, he was my favorite character on the show for a long time. Very sad news.

Walter Koenig's Pavel Chekov was one of Gene Roddenberry's biggest swings with the original series. For season 2, he put a Russian on the bridge of the Enterprise, on prime time network television, just 5 short years after the Cuban Missile Crisis and during the height of the Cold War. 🥺
