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

I live in a rural town and, like, I don't know how to tell you this, but the girls play on the boys team and vice versa all the time because otherwise we don't have enough players for a game and it's literally always fine so stop being weirdos about kids sports and just let trans kids play.

Not the top Steam review of Dressmaker making me cry this morning!

First day of President Ocasio Cortez’s term better be just executive orders officially changing Republican Congresspeople’s names to “America!”

"Other countries have to do whatever the US president tells them to because doing otherwise could negatively impact the president's approval ratings and therefore constitutes foreign interference in US elections" is a fascinating bit of reasoning, I'm not gonna lie.

I don't actually know whether Gerwig's take on "Narnia" is going to work; but I do know that "The book didn't originally have a 70s rock-opera vibe" is an ...interesting criticism for a story that originates from: "The Bible would be cooler with faeries and unicorns and Jesus should be a lion."

no, it's not "both sides are doing this" no, it's not "both parties live in fear" it's "people trump gets mad at get death threats" reporting anything else is journalistic malpractice and you are complicit in trump's destruction of our democracy

the nyt managed to write a whole feature article on the rise of political violence and not once in the entire piece did they make the obvious statement that this is all entirely due to one person and his exhortations for his supporters to do what they describe that took some real effort

Hi, I'm the vocal director for Star Wars Galactic Racer. My office has a Huttese dictionary, a mountain of cocaine, and a line out of the door of the loudest theater kids we could find. I hope you like the result!

Folks I just looked at an English copy of Master Fighter II (the classic bootleg NES version of SFII) and you need to read the back

I mean, here's you answer. People aren't "voting to end this stuff" as much as we think we are. That's... why I'm beating the drum as loud as I can with this whole "Hi, urban blue voters! Farm workers need you to commit to ending slavery thing." bsky.app/profile/meem...

Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano

I'm not the only one noticing "Hey, this is basically the same story about a vapid non-intellect here", right?

One aspect of living in a personalist form of government is that people no longer expect the laws or norms to protect them. If the king is rumored to be thinking of demolishing a believed institution, people assume they must defend it in person

Did DEI close the Strait of Hormuz? No. But it hasn't re-opened it either.

This would be a terrible idea but I kinda want it because "WATCHMEN" suggests there's at least a 65% chance that Snyder may sincerely love "RICK & MORTY" but also be wholly unaware that it's a comedy and it'd be fascinating to see what that disaster looks like 🤔

Start of a good thread

you can reverse the flow of immigration but its not going to satisfy them unless you can make them feel like they did when they were young again, or if you can’t do that, at least provide images of gratuitous violence against the people they associate with their inevitable marches towards death

i think where this confuses people is that it doesn’t then mean that you can win their votes simply by reducing immigration. they aren’t concerned about net migration flows so much as ongoing cultural change that can only be reversed with wholesale ethnic cleansing (or, more likely, a time machine)

"That guy who runs Walmart is stupid. If he closed the store and didn't let people buy things, he'd have ALL the TVs and bikes and sodas and cereals and socks for himself! I'm a business genius, why has nobody figured this out before?"

Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.

techno-optimists befuddled by declining popular support for “the robot that tells you to kill yourself”, “the pervert glasses“, and “the camera network that stalks you”

Art Of The Deal author fails to secure deal with friendliest nation on planet

Amazing

At an invitation-only gathering in Italy, white supremacists mapped out strategies to target rural America while local press coverage vanishes www.confrontthehate.com/p/white-nati...

A massive crisis is developing in the west over dwindling water. You are going to hear a lot of bullshit. Just remember this: The solution is to stop growing animal feed & vegetables in the desert. That’s it. That’s all we have to do. Just grow stuff that needs water where it rains on the regular.

The most remarkable thing about Trump's statements was this: they reflect deep knowledge of North Korean propaganda and acceptance of all North Korean claims, but no knowledge even of the rudiments of the US security relationship with the Republic of Korea. Who, exactly, is briefing Trump?

In response to concerns about conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, we will rename the ship the USS Jefferson Davis. by Pete Hegseth

Every day you read two headlines, one like "Trump orders U.S. Aircraft Carrier to get him Chik-fil-a" and one like "Hakeem Jeffries: We Must Be Very Cautious in the Way We Consider Speaking About Methods of Bringing About Incremental Change to U.S. Tax Code"

The Air Force One catering cart story has proved conclusively that for all his hateful transphobia, Trump would have been the first one to dress in women’s clothing for a spot on a Titanic lifeboat.

"Liberal bubble" has only ever meant anywhere where right wing perspectives aren't artificially elevated and forced into everyone's feeds.

Remember when it came out that Jeffrey Epstein and his billionaire rapist pals had deliberately manufactured modern movement transphobia to make us easier to exploit sexually and no one but us cared?

Most of the land in most farm counties is owned by 1-5 families. They run the place like their own personal kingdoms. There is SO much resentment and straight-up fury about this in rural areas. The fact that no political party's even really trying to speak to it is wild.
