Bring it back

I'm definitely entering the period of the Star Trek TNG first season where Riker gets so many opportunities to fuck

Not about the band, but: I very much disliked Beck's Sea Change album until a concert where he did a dedicated subset of the show to only SC songs starting them out solo and progressively adding the band back in. Was amazing and completely changed my album opinion, probably my fave Beck now.

They're called minesweepers, look it u... ah bollocks. bsky.app/profile/left...

My deepest cut would be the very short lived 90s show Profit starring Adrian Pasdar

I once had a house with carpet in the dining area and only had one kid, can't imagine what hell all those Brady kids did on theirs.

This is the Israeli playbook from Gaza (and Putin's in Ukraine for that matter) and it is ultra-disturbing to see the US carry out repeated attacks on civilian infrastructure. It simply does not serve a military purpose.

I will only accept this if specifically Game Boy Tetris

the weirdest thing about this debate, which is almost certainly due to negative polarization, is that the pro-AI position *should* be "no, its not conscious, it is just a marvel of engineering that has produced a vastly more effective computer program"

28th amendment that president and anyone in line of succession is not allowed to communicate digitally

If we need this much stuff in LEO, we might as well get started on figuring out an orbital ring, but that would require international cooperation and money in an era where leadership in those is lacking.

A regime that values domestic and international violence above the rule of law is unsustainable.

@celebrityhottub.bsky.social your comment on Oregon maybe starting a wrestling program revives a bit of a sore spot - UO dropped wrestling after 07-08 to bring back baseball without making any Title IX adjustments. Was very much an Oregon State envy move.

Yeah, this is straight up murder.

Anyway the entire “Trump is the first President in decades to…” idea hinges entirely on pretending these things hadn’t already been addressed diplomatically.

never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.

Even if the info was correct, this is the equivalent of saying K12 schools on US military bases are valid targets.

One of the greatest, Bruce Campbell, announcing he has cancer. Our hearts are with you Bruce, Hail to the King.

The Rebellion killed Max Rebo.

We're gonna find out that room is the same bathroom the classified boxes were in, he has some weird thing for that bathroom.

If I were a head of state, I would think setting a precedent that assassination is a legitimate tool of state competition would be unwise

From Hunter S. Thompson’s ESPN page 2 column one week after 9/11.

The real story is that foreign govts try to "interfere" all the time. In 2020 and 2024 we had mechanisms to catch them, call them out, & mitigate damage. Now, those mechanims are gone & the Trump admin would prefer to exploit "foreign interference" to justify a federal take-over of elections.

I can't wait for the eventual turn where the Iranian drone factories ilset up in Russia start sending product back to Iran. Why keep wars regional when they can be global?

when Russia started a war in between the Winter Olympics and Paralympics, the "violation of the Olympic truce" angle was quickly used as justification for kicking them out of upcoming sports events (in fairness Russia ALSO violated the Olympic truce in 2008 and 2014 so, repeat offender status)

Seeing Skylar Gisondo in Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later makes me question my ability to guess anyone's age.

Stop getting your ideas from House of Cards, that season wasn't even that good.

no such thing as other people's children

This argument cuts both ways too - why is he creating a company, that's not a real purpose in life for a human.

Alysa Liu telling 60 Minutes “I love struggling, it makes me feel alive” is a legit revolutionary statement from a Bay Area native in a time when copious amounts of time and resources are being put toward convincing us to opt out of experiencing struggle, friction and self-actualization

One of one

What if a jury of your peers, but your peers to a one think you suck shit?

Our children are the first generation with less masturbating bear sketches than the last one.

Come, Sir Andrew, there’s no remedy

The Naked Gun / Platoon

Serious suggestion Bluesky: put the Discard button above Save Draft. Our and the unfortunate potential readers will be better off if the first impulse is to put abandoned posts in the bin.

I know this makes me an extremist but I think our baby concentration camps should be abolished.

“Not one third of the inhabitants, even of this province, are of English descent,” Thomas Paine noted in Common Sense, "This new world hath been the asylum for the persecuted lovers of civil and religious liberty from every part of Europe."

Jessica Walter deserved the same late-life resurgence that Maggie Smith had.

Democrats should get behind a voter ID law that only goes into effect when 99.9% of the eligible population has a valid ID and automatically pauses when the number falls below that. The fact that Republicans would never accept this would make clear what the real point of voter ID laws is.

Not entirely related, but Syril's journey from cog in the machine thinking he's doing the right thing to body in the street when the shit hits the fan feels different in the current climate.

Retvrn to the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth

I feel this way about pretty much all vaccine-preventable infectious diseases. You shouldn't be allowed to dump cyanide into municipal drinking water and you shouldn't be allowed to recreationally spread viruses around shared public spaces.

It bears repeating ICE are scum of the earth, from the top down.

Love all could also just stop talking and just do some good work, it usually helps change people's minds, I dunno.

Gonna jam this thing sideways in the bathtub

Trump's big, ugly budget megabill gives ICE more agents than the FBI, more jails than the federal Bureau of Prisons, and a larger budget than most countries' militaries. It does this by stripping food away from children, the disabled, and the working poor. Not one more penny.
