The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go Yippee ki yay, motherfucker.

Again, we are not "at risk" of creating a Trumpian politics in four or five years when Farage wins. Farage looks likely to win because everyone has spent the last decade - at least - creating the same reactionary, racist political system as Trump. It's already here.

@cajohnson-craig.bsky.social looking forward to your Depictions of Fascism In Media show; if it would help save a shred of sanity maybe consider doing that once a month? If so: do the Cardassians/Dominion in DS9! Plz.

It's been a while since I needed a triptan, so I'd forgotten how effective they are when it feels like my body is trying to recreate Phineas Gage's sensations right after the explosion.

I can never quite get over the fact that the British government embed spies in peaceful social justice movements. It’s so monumentally fucking sketchy, especially given how they carry on when in post. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Ken Paxton has launched a snitch line to gather reports of supposed violations of Texas' transphobic bathroom policing law. Please do not abuse this snitch line. Please do not fill it with faff and nonsense. Please do not attach huge, unwieldy and irrelevant documentation to any reports.

This might be why running FF while also running FFXIV or Palia has had a noticeable effect on my FPS recently. Resource hog in every conceivable way, it seems.

Oh to be a little Tardigrade walking across a microscopic slide. 🫧🐻🧪

As I'm starting DS9 again, I might do some episode analyses on my ghost... blog? Newsletter? Watching Emissary always gets my brain going, even if it's just about the music.

For some reason, the co-codamol is hitting quite hard right now. It's been a while since it made me this woozy (and no, I didn't accidentally take a second dose too soon after the first)

Just discarded some face creams I've had longer than I've known Spouse. TBF, I haven't used it since before meeting Spouse; but it came in glass jars and kept surprisingly well.

Funny how coca cola is using ai slop for its adverts now when in the 90s the iconic xmas adverts jingle was "coca cola, always the real thing"

This is my thing. I see a lot of the new racist content and it is coming from teenagers. It's not dying out, it is just getting a new spokesperson

Radio 4 and BBC and Channel 4 News and all the papers completely skewing the Peggie story so your average person will have no idea what actually happened. Doesn’t this make you furious? Integrity in journalism is dead, not just in the US

Got a new pet peeve: people who confidently mispronounce Stanisław by forcing it to be Stanislaw. The line through the ł matters; that's the Polish letter for 'w' sounds.

And this is why we don't have to hand it to her. This is why Dems should not embrace her.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

The exact people now saying "Nigel Farage was young and foolish at school" (to excuse his racism, bullying and harassment of fellow pupils at Dulwich College) are the same people who said "Shamima Begum was old enough to know what she was doing".

"I was only 17 or 18 when I repeatedly racially harassed a 9 year old. I either can't remember what I did, or it was done without malice or intent, and how can these people remember this? But that Shamima Begum, she was 15 and old enough to know what she was doing..."

Labour's fundamental dysfunction is that it is the nominal representative of the left hand side of the political spectrum but its leadership class hold progressive politics in genuine, visceral contempt. Obviously that doesn't work. How could it?

Young people to be forced into the modern day versions of the workhouses (warehouses such as Amazon, Hello Fresh etc) because there are no jobs in hospitality and what Pat McFadden says is a lie. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Rosie Duffield has assembled a "representative group of cross-party MPs" to lobby Streeting which, of the 1,500 people sitting in parliament, amounted to 7 other people.

Didn't realise they did Jesus warhammer

@cajohnson-craig.bsky.social small note; Farage is pronounced Fahr-ahaj like one way people say "garage". I prefer to call him Farr-age because I don't care to respect what he wishes to be called, as I enjoy my left wing milk. I appreciate that you might want to maintain professional standards ofc!

Two thoughts about Prophecy (VOY s07e13): guest actor Wren T. Brown has a magnificent voice; I thought this was a B'Elanna episode but now it's a Tom Heroically Saves The Day Yet Again episode 🫩

Another pon farr question: is it only Vulcan males who go through it? Do Vulcan females get to experience any sexual desires of their own?

The absolute worst part of watching 90s Trek is looking up actors on Memory Alpha and seeing how many guest stars have passed away.

Seems I forgot that yesterday was 2026 Hobonichi day. At least I'm only a few hours late!

I really, really hope that our new neighbour is just burning toast at ten to three in the morning and I'm *not* having a stroke. That would suck.

The end is in sight with the cross stitch bookmark I'm making, and I'm still watching Voyager. Alice: yet another Tom Paris questions his place in life episode, in which he neglects his duties and life, to which B'Elanna just rolls her eyes and picks up his socks again.

After bingeing most of season 3 of Voyager in a particularly bad episode of insomnia, I'm back at it - this episode is the one where Harry gets a Space STI. The ensign really does get the short end of the stick quite often.

The Singularitarian fantasists who want us to elevate machines to consciousness are not interested in the happiness of all beings. They want to degrade the biological body to a mere vessel, one they can discard. It's bunk theology for men who believe they're too smart and special to die.

This is narcissism masquerading as philosophy — the technophile elite are not recognizing a new soul in AI, they're falling in love with their creation, staring at their own reflection in a digital pool. It is the ultimate in solipsism and has its roots in a pathological fear and denial of death.

Every time I watch Deadloch, I grow my appreciation of the storytelling through the characters. Vanessa, for example.

I'm always a little agog that big name podcasters, who run ads and always include a call to action for their Patreon, are fine with putting out poorly edited shows. Repeated sections, loud sniffles into the microphone and for the love of dog, do not drink coffee before facing a microphone.

I've read these sentences so many times and I still have no idea what they mean. Clicking through has yet to illuminate.

Apparently, they are comparing two groups, with one group experiencing an arbitrary one-year delay in prescription. But where is the group that skips the blockers entirely and goes straight to GAHT? You need to include that group as a variable for the study to be scientifically valid, right?

"It will permit people to enforce sexist, patriarchal, misogynistic norms on what men and women should look like, how they should behave, and who should access any public space."

Farage can now be easily boxed in to a corner where his only ‘defence’ becomes: “Yes I spouted Kremlin propaganda & Putin worship but, unlike Nathan Gill, I didn’t need bribes to do it.” It is, once again, a question of whether interviewers have the temerity to shut down his whining obfuscations.

In Star Trek, PADDs were treated like electronic reports; one document per device. My new headcanon is that they have different file formats because while I hope DRM is gone in fully automated gay space luxury communism, it certainly reflects *now* - as I wrangle a phone, tablet and 2 ereaders.

If you have a problem with trans women, trans men, or trans people of any make or gender, then you got a problem with me and I suggest you let that marinate

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features." There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

Sex work is work so I don't give a fuck but I do love seeing how much of the media has adopted a term, sex worker, that not long ago was largely limited to community spaces. That's activism.

may Andrew Wakefield be paid back exactly what he has put into the world... multiplied by seven

“Things happen.” Jamal Khashoggi was a journalist and Washington Post columnist who was literally murdered and dismembered by agents of the Saudi government inside a Saudi consulate. Shameful. So shameful.

If you can zoom in far enough, check out the heady days of 2018 before the Conservative government closed access to legal applications thereby *causing* a small boats problem. And today they’re (mainly Chris Philp) doing the media rounds telling Labour where they’re going wrong. #refugees #r4today

Twenty-two years ago today Section 28 was repealed. But we're seeing history repeat itself as some in the media and in politics spread bigotry and misinformation about trans people. 1/8🧵

Nobody who should fuck off actually fucks off anymore. We're stuck with all these fucking people.
