I will never understand the idea of Trunk or Treat. You’re so scared of your actual neighbors in your own neighborhood that you train your kids to go to random parking lots and take candy from stranger’s trunks. Sounds like a pedo psy op to me.

If someone walked by you and your friends and made a rude comment, you’d tell them to kick rocks and roll your eyes at their poor social skills. If they do that online you chase them down to explain why they’re wrong and engage in a long conversation. Block them instead. Save your energy.

One of my all time favorite parts of any Star Trek movie is Chekov searching for Nuclear Wessels in Star Trek IV. Rest peacefully, sir. And thank you

STARLOG@starlogmedia.bsky.social

Rest in peace to actor and screenwriter Walter Koenig, who passed yesterday at the age of 90. Koenig will be forever remembered as Chekov in STAR TREK and Alfred Bester in BABYLON 5. STARLOG sends our love to his family, friends, and infinite fans.

100% agree

I’m a White person who doesn’t want to live in a nation made up of nothing but White people. I have no interest in seeing us become a gated community of inbred, entitled supremacy that cuts itself off from an expansive world it believes itself superior to. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/im-a-white...

Eddie Kingston is part of what helped me come to the realization that I needed to address my own issues. If Eddie can man up and deal, so can I. I’m ride or die for Eddie Kingston

If still debating whether Donald Trump or Elon Musk willfully crippled Ukraine's missile defense, helping to slay innocent civilians, you are a rube. If the U.S. President had no role, then an oligarch governs national security. If not, the U.S. President serves Russia. Both answers are mortifying.

Thats some AI looking video to tell me Zelensky took out data centers. Whats the game?

StrictlyChristo 🇺🇦🌻@strictlychristo.bsky.social

Zelensky: "When our strikes reached Yandex’s data centers, it suddenly became a little easier to breathe on many social media platforms. A lot of people noticed it. There was less hate, less division, and fewer provocations. Because there were fewer bots. It’s pretty clear where those bots were."

Replace “your faith” with anything else that’s deeply personal and think about if TV would be ok with that either. “TV doesn’t appreciate you talking about your diet” “TV doesn’t appreciate you talking about your prostate exam” “TV doesn’t appreciate you talking about your colonoscopy”

“TV doesn’t appreciate you talking about your child’s piano recital” “TV doesn’t appreciate you talking about your appreciation of experimental jazz” When you’re paid for expertise on a non-faith based show, getting too personal about anything is a risk. Faith is no different.

And to be clear, I do realize there’s a difference between faith and medical procedures. But in the situation that you’re being paid for expertise, anything else is personal information that shouldn’t be something you repeatedly bring into the conversation

I'm just gonna bookmark this for future reference when Dem pundits complain about how the party has trouble communicating its message to voters. The reason you keep running into trouble with your branding isn't campus radicals. The reason is that your opponents purchased all the media outlets.

Replying to @davekarpf.bsky.social

Also: many of those same pundits think they are "data-driven" because they survey voters and conduct focus groups. That's so damn quaint. Trump's wealthiest allies purchased all the largest social media platforms+all the largest mainstream media outlets. Focus groups CANNOT measure those effects.

Remember back when Clippy was a thing, and we were all pissed off about Clippy interrupting us while we were trying to do a simple job? Imagine being told at the time that one day, every website and app would have its own version of that, and that none of them would know what they were doing.

Just a quick reminder that there are more Cornell frat boys accused of gang raping a young woman than there are trans women competing in the NCAA.

THAT’S HOW YOU MAKE INSURANCE AFFORDABLE AND PROFITABLE YOU DOLTS.

Dr Oz says the Trump administration will kick more than a million people off health insurance because some of them have "never filed a claim"

It’s amazing how the media cooperates to make some issues salient and completely ignores others. We went from North Carolina being protested against for an anti-trans bathroom bill in 2016 to now every politician being asked their position on a dozen or so athletes in ALL of K-16.

🎃 Imani Gandy Corn 🎃@angryblacklady.blacksky.app

I just honestly can't get over that Save Women Sports, an anti-trans group could only find five trans athletes competing K through 12. Five. The NCAA president testified a year and a half ago or so that there were less than 10 college level trans athletes. What the fuck are we doing, people

There's never been a better time to remember the golden rule: Trump doesn't lie to be believed. He lies to be repeated. If you're repeating anything Trump says, even to debunk it, you're helping him.

🗽LOLGOP🗽@lolgop.bsky.social

The bribe offer, the convention, and forcing Republicans to all run with Trump. These are effective politics, unfortunately. That's why I hate the idea that Trump is crazy or senile. He's evil. And evil's greatest asset is when you trivialize or underestimate it.
