Marc "Candy Corn" Criley

Pete Hegseth is to the military what Roddy Ho is to "the ladies."

Big Brother is watching, but now we can watch Big Brother right back. I love that MapQuest is flipping the script. Apple Maps, where you at?!

Don't vote for this guy (@johnarchibald.bsky.social) for Alabama governor (mainly because he's not running), but if anyone wants to pick up his platform and make a go of it... Y'know...DO IT! www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrCq...

Today we lost Walter Koenig. Some thoughts about a fine actor and genuinely nice guy....

Bat Week accessories, Day 2 (I neglected to post Day 1 :p )

Be the candy corn you want to see in the world

I of course loved him as Chekov, but playing Bester on BABYLON 5 really showed his range. You really forgot the guy ever *was* Chekov in that role. RIP Walter Koenig.

Poisonous dust aside, I love this newly released view of Nerveta Vallis, the dust-filled river channel that cuts through the rim of Jezero Crater. You can see where the river enters from the left, curves toward the camera, then off to the right. The rover found signs of potential life on these banks

the October Surprise was inside the GOP the whole time

Walter Koenig, was, of course, Chekov. But if you want to honor his memory by watching some of his best(sorry) work, please check out his appearance as the evil Psi-Cop "Bester" in Babylon 5. He's a fantastic presence and a great foil to all of "our heroes." Fair skies, Mr. Koenig.

RIP Chekov, Bester

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.

If you don't want to "debate trans issues," then don't. Say "girls deserve to play sports with their friends without creeps trying to look in their pants. We protect women and girls by making sure they have equal pay, equal rights, and health care." This isn't hard unless you're a coward.

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

I. Will. BREAK. You.

if voting didn't matter they wouldn't be working so hard to stop you

Woot @tanaudel.bsky.social !!

For preemptive blocking ease. Don't give him attention. He years for your attention. Make him sad and forget he exists like I had and am about to again.

Kobayashi Maru that shit. The whole premise is bullshit. Shut the trolley down. No one needs to die.

Meanwhile in Alabama, how many have exercised their no-excuse early voting opportunity? ZERO. Because no-excuse early voting is illegal in this state.

Growing up in Minnesota I never saw a bald eagle. Now when I head up there to visit family I do see them on most visits.

1 Had lunch with a science YouTuber who'd met with Obama.

I think about this a lot! I would say: almost everything has gotten a lot better, except for the number of people trying to make everything worse.
