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.

A politician of Grifters, by the Grifters, and for the Grifters.

“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

missed National Coming Out Day. but came across this screenshot of the mass email i sent 12 years ago!

...this striking recent study, for one, that samples EXACTLY THE DEMOGRAPHIC this author ventriloquizes, but shows that Gen Z men are desperate for more depictions of SOFT masculinity and emotional expressivity! www.scholarsandstorytellers.com/evolvingmasc...

Trans voice actresses of color (Black, Asian/Pacific Islander, Indigenous, Latina, SWANA), I wanna know how many of y’all are on BlueSky! If any of you know any BIPOC trans actresses, feel free to share recommendations as well!🏳️‍⚧️✨

Casual reminder: this guy has been getting public funded healthcare, elder care, and the ability to work from home the past few months; all things he’s worked hard to deny you.

Upgraded to a switch 2 and have an old Nintendo Joycon laying around? What If I told you that can be turned into a powerful and portable ART HOTKEY REMOTE!? I made this diagram for a friend recently and thought I'd share. Video explaining the program in the comments!

Nancy 9/7/26 … Happy Labor Day 🛠️

i have been mean about the verge recently so I would like to specifically point out that this is a good post

AI is not inevitable. resistance works!

Mamdani has announced that NYC restaurants can have outdoor dining all year round. This is actually a big public health win because fall and winter is when respiratory virus cases surge. Dining outdoors helps reduce the risk of disease spread.

NEW: Flock has said for years that its cameras "cannot track individuals." We found the code for its new AI tool. It's preloaded w/ prompts like "Find me witness" & "find relatives." One tracks visitors of multiple hotels, another if you visit banks after midnight. www.wired.com/story/flock-...

do you ever wake up at 3am and think "shit that's a good idea, I better write that down so I can share it later on"

i almost got got by a phishing email !!!!! (thread)

Ah ha. Ha ha. Hahahahahahahahahaha 🤣

The Theater On the Edge of Forever… step through it’s doors and you’ll vanish into the mid-1990s.

Good. As soon as a company becomes publicly traded, shareholders supplant customers as the number 1 priority

Ron Moore’s BATTLESTAR GALACTICA gets lauded as having the first toliets in American sci-fi TV, but that honor really goes to BABYLON 5.

Solar eclipse coming up so here’s one of my favourite maps

a bunch of popular ASMR artists lost their channels forever this week, after YouTube cited them for violating terms against "sexually gratifying" content: www.404media.co/youtube-asmr...

Reminder once again that the bacon recall is not because there is anything wrong with the bacon. No one has gotten sick. It's because the US government is in a pissing match with Canada. The bacon was inspected in Canada, and I'd trust their standards over ours right now.

Just an absolute shout out to everyone out there who helped manufacture doubt around the question of this guy being a Nazi, particularly after the Nazi salute.

Good morning, a collage full of nature, colour and texture for you today. 16 little photo snippets taken from a variety of my embroideries. I hope it brightens your timeline. 😉🪡🌿🌺🪻 #embroidery #thesewingsongbird

What a nut job: Trump ordered warning signs and exhibits outside the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History, claiming it inaccurately reflects American history.

Taylor Farms, the lettuce supplier at the center of our explosive diarrhea outbreak, has spent millions to oppose food regulation and elect Donald Trump and other MAGA Republicans:

In February, USA Rugby banned trans women from all levels of one of the world’s most inclusive sports. What happened next was telling. Across the country, teams refused to comply. The story of the Baltimore Ferals, who are pushing back: www.thebanner.com/sports/rugby...

we love you jimothy

Damn, they *very* selectively quote Les Feinberg talking about *hir decision* to allow the free distribution of _Stone Butch Blues_ to justify transreads making that decision for other authors. So slimy!

Wait, they admit copying works without permission or a fair use argument then excuse it by saying it helps author sales? Oh, hell no. This is copyright infringement. Your first step: issue a cease and desist order. Strongly encourage you to check out pro bono resources here. ccb.gov/pro-bono-ass...

This site is disturbing, the vast majority of trans authors are indie published and, even if they're trad published, almost none of us make enough off our writing to live off. If you can't afford to buy books, many of us share work for free, you can always support trans writers without stealing.

when we said “bring back shame” this is exactly what we meant none of these assholes should be allowed to buy coffee in peace

this is such a good and astute way to put it; so much gender critical feminism seems to stem from the belief that being a woman is a uniquely awful thing, and I mean no one's arguing that living in a patriarchal society as a woman is always a riot but what a depressing and pessismistic view of life!

John Landis on the set of three amigos told Chevy Chase he was going to kill him and Chase responded “with what, there’s no helicopter here,” and that may be the only funny and good thing Chevy has ever said

I get that this is a contrarian Guardian opinion piece aimed at fretting middle class parents but let’s try to actually understand the neo-Luddite movement. They aren’t advocating no technology, they are advocating for less harmful technology that doesn’t erode what it means to be a human.

It's such a bizarre experience having kids and regularly watching kids content and recognizing how many behaviors are displayed as villainous that are currently being lifted up as virtue in real life
